Bamboo Village Restaurant

I’ve passed by many times but didn’t know the place until my friend told me. We came back again on Saturday to try dim sum. Glad we found the dim sum place near me. We order congee, fried bean curd rolls, shrimp and chives dumplings, Chinese donut. What we liked the most is actually shrimp congee. We also had Chao Zhou Dumpling but it has peanuts inside. No recommend for people who have allergy reactions to nuts.

This is a local Chinese neighborhood restaurant. My family has been going here for years. Fabulous dim sum and delicious dinner menu. Our son recently got married and chose to have a “Chinese wedding Banquet”. I am Chinese my husband is Scottish. A few months ago we had a family tasting party (that’s how we chose our banquet menu.. it was truly hard to keep our total dishes to 10-11. The food is so good. Chrystal and Grant were instrumental in all things, set up, food ideas, and execution. We had 90 people in the restaurant, the food was fabulous, service was excellent.. I don’t know how they did it all. Of course the Chef was totally on top of everything. I cannot say enough good things. It is a small restaurant but our party was a success .. people are still talking about the food… the parking lot is small but no one seemed to have had a problem finding street parking that night. My posting is a very well know Scottish bagpiper in Seattle named John McBride. Probably the first time he played at a Chinese banquet was at our wedding banquet many years ago.. the second time was at our sons. Bamboo village is fantastic for lunch, dinner and parties.. I know many of our friends will be heading back to try more dishes. I cannot thank them enough for all their hard work!!

Been living and dining around the Puget Sound for more than two decades and have sampled many of the local restaurants. Bamboo Village is hands down one of our favorites. The dim sum is on par with (and for some dishes, rivals) the most notable spots in the International District. The dinner menu is a mix of Hong Kong style and Americanized options, so you have plenty of choices when ordering. Some of our favorites include the best green onion pancake in Seattle. (Remember Fu Man Dumpling House and their thick, savory, crispy pancake that put all others to shame? This one is just as good!) The Three Delicacies with Garlic Sauce has a mix of spicy, tangy, and sweet flavors with a load of veggies and proteins (chicken, beef, and shrimp) and is outstanding. We've never had a bad dish here. The staff are super nice and helpful, always greeting us with a smile, answering our questions, and helping us with our order. Portions are plentiful, so you may leave with some to-go boxes. The interior is clean and airy with simple decorations. Bathrooms are well maintained and conveniently located. Dining room can accommodate larger parties, so it's a good place to bring friends or coworkers. But the real stars are the food and service, which are both generous. Highly recommended.

Went here for an event with about 13 people. Our waitress was phenomenal - even remembered where one couple sat 6 months ago during their last visit. We all shared food and every dish was really good. My favorite was salt and pepper squid.

The quality and size of the portions has improved much over the last several months. Service is attentive and friendly. The dim sum menu has gotten more streamlined , I would guess the more popular items have remained, for anticipated reasons. Everything being more expensive now a days and the margins to keep a restaurant open are RAZOR thin. One of our top 3 places north of Seattle Metro to go to for a dim sum fix.

The friendliest staff! Love the hostess and she gives great recommendations! Fried spring rolls, sesame chicken, soup dumplings, general tso chicken, and the bok choy are all amazing. I haven’t had all the menu yet but no doubt it’s worth every cent

Regret not coming here at all ever since I moved to Seattle 7 years ago. Constantly passed by this place since my friends live around here as well and we often brushed it off thinking the food wouldn’t be good. I regret always driving down to International District for dimsum thinking there isn’t around here. But today, everything changed and so happy that I decided to come give this place a try. We order our usual dimsum dishes such as spare ribs, chicken feet, bean curd roll, chive and shrimp dumplings, honey walnut prawn, shumai, and turnip cake. Rest assured everything is so fresh and you can tell that since they made their dimsum daily. Just by the time it took for them to bring out the turnip cake, you know that they literally fried it just now since it’s so crispy on the top unlike other places where they serve it soggy. Every dish have its own distinct flavoring where it’s not like those frozen dim sum takeouts where the shrimp dishes all taste similar. Also all 9 dishes came out to $57.05!!! Like what even is this place. Such a hidden gem that I’ll be coming back for more. No longer sleeping on this place no more!!!

NICE DIM SUM IN THE GREEN LAKE NEIGHBORHOOD . FRIENDLY SERVICE . NICE MENU SELECTIONS WITH PHOTOS . GREAT TEA . CLEAN AND OPEN ATMOSPHERE

Met a former co-worker here for dim sum. We got the usual items including siu mai, har gow, sticky rice and pork spring rolls. Pan fried chive dumplings and pork egg rolls were standouts for me. Not pictured are the soy sauce noodles, which came out a little oily for my taste. The curry chicken and BBQ pork pastries are reserved for weekend only. This is the type of place you order with the server and there are pictured menus. They do not have push carts. They also have a dedicated parking lot. Overall, good dim sum experience in the north end.

I had lunch with my partner today after passing by and seeing the sign 'Free Wi-Fi' and made fun that the food/ service must be bad enough that this complementary offer restores it to acceptability. The first two times gave us hope we found a place to eat with good taste. IT was hardly busy at all then. But this time, it went so south that this review will almost make me seem like a liar. Summary: If you want to be treated rudely, be told that by pointing out you're not getting service is not their fault, be told that by intervening from approaching them at the cashier for restoring service violates their boundaries, and then get into a clash with the problematic server which I later found out the owner said 'Good for you' to support him, this is the perfect place for you. This place will make you feel you are bothering them, with any sane remedies you attempt to make as insults that fuels their dressing down you, with greasy, oily food to boot. Let's start with the straightforward part. The food was quite tasty as we had the Egg Plant and Mix Vegetable tofu lunch special. However, the egg rolls were burnt and greasy. The Egg plant was swimming in oil, though tasty. Now for the more troublesome issue. The restaurant was more busy than it normally has been. I asked what was the cause, and the only server there (white guy) said it was the weekend. I thought that was odd, but accepted that answer and off he went with our order. The restaurant was half full, but the server was more interested in busing dirty tables than checking in with us (and others). After sometime seeing he would not look towards our table, I approached him and asked him if we can start with our soups first. No response. Later, I saw him talk to the owner (Crystal, I was told later by him), and she brought it out. I asked if there were any fried wonton strips or noodle bits, which she said 'No' brusquely and hurried away. We got our dishes apart, far apart that we almost finished the first dish by the time the second one came around. After that dish, I went up and asked if we can get their steamed custard buns to go. Server took off without a word. I then remembered our table had long been neglected, that our teapot had gotten cold. So, thinking I was going to help the server, I brought the teapot back to the cash register for a fresh brew. Instead, I got a dress down from the server saying that I should have flagged him down at my table, which I responded we tried but he never looked our way, which then pushed to him to start jumping up and down waving hands like we are stopping a bus that would need desperate body language as a demonstration it was our fault for not being pedantic enough as demonstrated. And that we were working against ourselves by such action (huh, it can't get worse than no service, thus our vain attempts for a minimum of service here) It gets better. We both went to the cash register and paid. This is when I said my bringing up the teapot was not meant to make him look bad if this was his interpretation, but a sign we are not getting any return service beyond taking order, bringing dishes, and then the check. The server went on to lecture us for violating his boundaries, and he refused to acknowledge the lack of service even when I pointed out the service was negligent. I also asked him what about the boundaries of the paying customer, which then he said he doesn't know why he has to argue with me. I was running errands later and stopped by to see if I can talk to Crystal. The same server greet me and I asked if I could speak to his boss. He tried to deflect by saying he was his own boss. I then asked to talk to the owner, which he said she was not there. He became vague after I asked what time she will be back, eventually telling me at 6pm. I told him I will be back. He asked me what was I planning to accomplish by talking to her. I said I want to speak to her in the hope she can be open to hear what went down than with him. Just as I was stepping out, he said 'You know what my boss said after our argument? She said "Good for you" (as a praise to him). I said that is sad to see an establishment work against their own livelihood with such an attitude. I told him I will confirm this independently at 6pm. This is when he shooed me out of the restaurant with 'please leave' and his hands flapping in a dismissive way. I saw this rudeness, blindness, and pride was not just with me after going online just before making this review. I made the decision not to go back and talk to Crystal seeing that she is part of the problem from the other reviews. I saw a quote that said that our hurt is less from what others do to us than from our failure to accept their disability early enough to walk away from them. My walking away from the 6pm chance to talk with Crystal is that acceptance of their disability.

Got dim sum there recently. Here is what I got. Turnip Cake 3/5. Texture was good. Crispy on the outside. Soft on the inside. Could have used more flavor. Pork and thousand year egg congee 1/5. Way too watery, no flavor, no ginger, no geeen onions. Barely any pork or egg. Probably the worst item on the menu. Very disappointing. Siu Mai 5/5. Very good and flavorful! Chicken Feet 5/5. Very good and flavorful! Beef Chow Fun 3/5. Beef was very flavorful but the noodles itself lacked any flavor. Overall so so place for dim sum. As a Hong Kong native, very disappointed about the porridge. One of the easiest dish to make right.

You can tell this restaurant is family owned and run. The dim sum is pretty good for the neighborhood. The service was a little slow, but we got everything we needed. There were some hits and misses for the dim sum, and they didn't have everything you'll traditionally see on dim sum menus. I would come to this place if you're not looking to drive into CID.

Food was great highly recommend the fried rice, bamboo village dumplings, as well as the pork steam buns. And for desert a mango pudding, kung pow chicken was also amazing. The waiter crystal was very helpful and nice. The interior was very clean tidy, And a very peaceful area to eat in

Food- Delicious! it came pretty fast (5-10mins) and was very tasty. We got the Wednesday lunch special, pork potstickers and Spicy eggplant, all of which were not too oily and very delicious. 5 stars. Service was fine, our waiter was quick and nice. However what drags this restaurant down was the bathrooms. A bit dingy, but the toilet was clean. There were no paper towels and hardly any soap left. The urinal was also out of service, with a tape line to show it. OVERALL, great restaurant with a couple small things to fix.

Such a great place for dim sum if you don't want to go into international district! If I provide a second review for a restaurant, more than likely, the second review rating is lower than the first. But this is a unique situation, where I think the food has actually improved significantly the second time around. Over the course of the pandemic, and even before, we have had dim sum here many times. The dim sum was good, sure, but I would say average,m. But in the last few months when we have gotten back to try their dim sum, it's been spectacular. They must have changed some thing they're doing, but their food is bomb and I always crave it. In particular, their shrimp dumplings are ginormous and so delicious. It is stuffed with shrimp and they are not stingy on it. My husband also really loves their shumai. Give them a try if you haven't been in a while!

I decided to give this place a 2nd shot. We order from grub hub and it was actually really good. Glad we gave it another try. Wish they did their own delivery and then I would order more often. -The almond chicken is yummy had an interesting sauce which we loved. -BBQ pork was amazing. -Veggie eggrolls were odd, I couldn't figure out what was in them and we threw them out, not good at all. Prob the worst I have ever had honestly. -Sweet and Sour chicken was good. -Chow mein was good but nothing special.

Tried bamboo village for the first time and was not disappointed. Best Chinese I've had in seattle. Everything we ordered was very fresh. The host was very nice and made sure we were well taken care of and enjoying our meal. Food highlights: - orange chicken. Typically when I order this dish I feel that the chicken is dry, but the meat was delicious and the coating was nice and crispy - green onion pancake. The BEST I've ever had. So fluffy and flavorful. - vegetable dishes (string beans and eggplant) were both very fresh and enjoyable! Overall, I recommend!

This is one of my go-to spots for Dim Sum. Their menu is small but does not lack in flavor. I can find all my favorite things here: chicken feet, ha gao, pork buns, spare ribs, porridge, and others to boot. I love coming here with a large group and getting just about everything on the menu. Pricing is good - usually comes out to be about $30/person and we are very satisfied and full at the end. Service is good and everyone is really friendly and accommodating. I have also come here for dinner and I've enjoyed their dinner combos too and their American Chinese food is quite tasty.

We had a team lunch yesterday and it was awful. Service was really bad. We got DINNER MENU instead of the regular lunch menu as we had 7 people and they wanted to make more money. We didn't notice that until we saw other customers who ordered lunch special getting their soup but we didn't. Then we were told we ordered from dinner menu. Definitely won't come back in future!!!

I love this place whenever I'm in the area, and want good Chinese food. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty the food was! In fact, I am hoping to order from there tonight when I get off work :) Thanks so much

I come here often for the delicious food and friendly staff! They have a tasty weekday lunch special and a whenever nom nom dim sum menu!

The food is delicious and well priced. We went with family and Grant and Crystal are a lot of fun.

We ordered Mongolian Beef, General Tso Chicken, Egg Foo Young, Fried Won Tons for takeout. We were a bit disappointed in the General Tso Chicken as it had way too much breading on it for our taste. When I first looked at it I thought they got our order wrong as they looked like big large balls. Also the Egg Foo Young was too done. The beef and won tons were good.

Very great food and service. Like how they have dim sum all day! Ambiance was also nice. Will be back!

Great! Was wanting some Chinese- American food. Orange chicken, wonton soup and crispy spring rolls. Got a glass a wine and great service. We will be back. On our way out we learned that they have a dim sum menu I would definitely advertise that more, will have to come back and try.

We showed up at 1030 am 6 of us , place was empty , we were sat at a large round table and ordered a number of dim sum dishes , all were very tasty and good size portions , our server was polite a very personal. We had a great experience, we shall return .....

i've tried a lot of chinese restaurants in the seattle, south and east side area and this is my FAV spot to get dim sum. i've been coming here for years, and let me tell ya... the food and service never disappoints. unlike other dim sum restaurants in seattle, parking is easy and the wait time is short to none to getting seated. some of my favorite dishes here include the bamboo village dumplings, crispy shrimp balls, chicken feet, sui mai, calamari, tripe, but the MUST TRY's are: ha gow - the best shrimp dumplings i've ever had. they're steamed to perfection and has delicious ginger bits massaged in the shrimp fillings shrimp & chive dumplings - so crispy on the outside and so juicy on the inside with immaculate flavor all around

Back again to our favorite dim sum in Seattle. Sorry Harbor City - the food is better here!! The chicken feet are amazing - cooked long enough to be tender, sauce is amazing with enough spice contrasted with sweet. Two orders... Xiao long bao we're perfect - like Shanghai. Braised pork ribs perfect mix of pork, black beans, and jalapeño. White tripe also perfectly cooked and tender. Congee with Yu tiao (Chinese doughnuts - much like a long popover) finished the meal with some sesame balls. Full and happy! Weekday dim sum doesn't have baked goods due to lower turnout of customers, which I understand completely. I hope some folks will read this and start coming here as well, I've enjoyed this restaurant for many years now. Crystal always provides excellent service, hope you come visit here soon.

Amazing, authentic Chinese food! Had a delicious dim sum feast with family here. Great service & ambiance.

DIM SUM. DIM SUM. DIM SUM. I cannot give enough love to this place. The service, food, and convenience are truly spectacular. As a Chinese person living in Wallingford, this is the spot to go. I LOVE THIS PLACE. Do not judge the building. Service- the woman who runs the to go over the phone is through. She always repeats the order and checks your order with you there to make sure it is correct. I have NEVER had my order incorrect. Food- I love the dim sum. So good and sometimes you do not want to go to the ID. This place is a strong substitute. I think that the food is quality and fresh. GET THE DIMSUM!!!!!

Came here for dinner on a Monday and it was completely empty. Got 3 different dishes to share among two people and half some left overs. The hot and sour soup wasn't anything special, partly because it wasn't super warm. The string beans were really good and crispy and I recommend them. The mapo tofu was also pretty good, but not spicy enough. We also ordered rice to go along with the tofu and it was satisfactory. Overall a pretty typical Chinese restaurant.

My favorite little dim sum place in Seattle near Green Lake for lunch Monday thru Friday. Staff are friendly and helpful. Dim sum is made to order, so fresh. Families and friends enjoy the weekends with servers circulating the carts filled with many choices.

Forgot to take pics of the food but overall this dim sum was pretty good. Wasn't expecting much from a small place in the middle of Wallingford/Green Lake, but it was really delicious. Come here if you want a pleasant surprise and cheap lunch specials! We ordered a variety of dim sum, family style, and pretty much everything was good. It's not gonna hold a candle to the best dim sum places in other cities like SF, Vancouver, etc. but among Seattle places I think it ranks well. Our favorites among the group were the shrimp dumpling (har gow), the deep fried tofu, and the bean curd. My boyfriend gave an honorable mention to the siu mai, which were huge and moist. My other friend said the deep fried tofu was the best she has had. The spare ribs were mostly fried bits and sauce, not much meat, but it did have a great crunch. Reminder that they only have baked items like bbq pork pastry on Saturday and Sunday. The bok choy was also pretty good. Their lunch specials are cheap ($9.95) and come with a spring roll, rice, and hot and sour or egg drop soup. The entrees rotate based on what weekday it is. Friday it was kung pao chicken or tofu with vegetables. In general, I had a good experience and will be returning here again :)

Had dim sum here a few years ago and it was very good. Stopped in last week and tried to order a bunch of items, but it seems like all the good stuff is weekend only. What we got was average except for the fried items, which were overwhelmed with rancid grease flavor. At least I have another restaurant I don't need to waste my time or money on.

The dumplings are huge! Bigger than some of the other places I normally go. Seems like most of the business was take out right now but there was a couple people eating inside. We ordered take out through door dash. Service was friendly and we waited a little bit for an additional order of dumplings. We noticed an order of dumplings was missing. They apologized and threw in an extra dessert for the mistake. The person working up front recommend that we call the restaurant instead of door dash. They are open later than other dim sum places. I'll be going back!

Amazing dim sum and and even though there was only one other table here at 5 PM the service was fast and the waitress was very welcoming. All the food was piping hot, the Chive Pancake was a little to thick but good crispy texture. I will definitely be coming back again.

Very bad customer service. Rude employee. Will not provide soy sauce for the dumplings. Will never order again.

Great spot, I used to come with family as a kid. What you guys should do is upgrade the quality of your proteins. You'll attract folks who are willing to pay a few dollars extra for higher quality. Even in a recession Seattle residents have high demand for quality, this is evident when you look at the city skyline.

What a freaking gem! I had no idea they had such an extensive dim sum menu, and it bums me out to think I've been driving past it for years. BF and I ordered the following for takeout on the 4th of July--ha gow, siu mai, shrimp & chive dumplings, sticky rice, and eggplant stuffed w/ shrimp. They were out of the eggplant stuffed w/ shrimp, but offered a substitute called garlic eggplant. This dish was SUCH a pleasant surprise! The sauce was perfection and super unique--I had never tasted anything like it. The dim sum dishes were fantastic as well, and are definitely on par with those from the ID. BF & I were both extremely happy with our meal, and are super happy to have a great dim sum option nearby. We're also planning on a return visit to try their regular menu--their menu is enormous!

Average food, bad service. Did take out and Half the dishes were cold in the takeout, which is very weird

Considering this is not the International District, thus is a great spot to get your dim sum fix. We ordered Chinese broccoli, pork shu mei, shrimp dumpling, pork bao, garlic pork, shrimp and scallion cakes, pork dumplings, and turnip cake. As soon as our food arrived, it was gone. Everything was hot and ready to eat. I would definitely recommend if you're not wanting to go into the downtown area.

I love this place so much. Better than many SF dim sum places- seriously. My kids love the sticky rice, har gao, and pea vines. I am obsessed with the bean curd shrimp rolls and will get a couple extra orders to eat with rice for lunch the next day (reminds me of Vietnamese sugar cane shrimp). The soy sauce chow mien is simple but delicious. My nieces loved the shao long bao and had to get a second order. We are obsessed.

We've ordered take out twice and everything is consistently hot, crispy, and tasty. The onion pancake is a must -- beautiful layers of lightweight dough and scallions cooked to a beautiful crackly brown. The shrimp dumplings are stuffed to the gills and paired with a spicy dipping sauce while the pork gyoza are sweet and tender. We've gotten chow mein and classic beef with broccoli -- all good! Turnover from placing the order to the food going out the door is also very fast.

I've been coming here for years. You will find that many Chinese restaurants in Seattle have fewer stars - please don't let people's one-off experiences or prejudices stop you from having dim sum here!! It's truly amazing, convenient and delicious.

The owners of this restaurant go above and beyond to make sure their customers are satisfied. They are so grateful for the patrons and tell you so. The food is good here too! They have dim sum all day which is a bonus. They are very accommodating to food issues. My mother can't have much oil and no salt at all in her diet and they did a great job of making what she needed. There is good parking and easy access to the restaurant so we don't have to go all the way to Chinatown/International District and fight to find parking.

Oct. 7 , 2019 Ambience. C Service. A Food. A Price. B Found on edge of green lake. Own property and standalone Bldg. Been here for years. Free lot parking. Or street. Overly bright and large dining. Run down and needs a little tlc. Booths are worn out. Dirty bathrooms. Ugh. Service was very friendly and helpful. Food is delicious. My favorite is the Bean curd Rolls. Had dim sum and is available all day. Cooked to order. Comes out nice and hot. Surprised the pea vines were $15! But, very tender and delicious. Two of us with tip. $52! That's a lot for dim sum. Just saying. I would only come back if in neighborhood but I'd rather go to chinatown.

They were sold out of dim sum despite advertising they sell dim sum all day. Flies everywhere, the meat was so hard, like jerky. I didn't get any water, silverware, or plates until 20 minutes after I arrived. Not a great experience.

This restaurant ruined our visit in Seattle. No beef on the brocolli with beef and no soy sauce on our dumplings. Employee was very rude when I complained over the phone. Will not recommend this place. Highly disappointed!

We stopped into the village on a Sunday for brunch following a trip to the zoo. While we didn't directly correlate seeing a bunch of animals with a desire for dim sum, i'm sure that in the subconscious there was something going on! The spot is located on Sandpoint Way just down from Green Lake. It's on a corner and there's parking for maybe 10 cars in the lot. There's plenty of street parking however. Getting in can be a bit tricky if you're coming from the Green Lake side, so just make sure you're familiar with the best way to call directly in. Google maps is excellent for such information! Now to the food. These guys serve dim sum every day, and for those of usI don't have access to dim some of the time, it was glorious! The place has seating for roughly 50 or 60 people and has tons of round tables with Lazy Susan's in the middle. We'd forgotten how exciting one of these can be to kiddos until our three and five-year-olds found them. The cart ladies descendent quickly and had just about anything we could want. It definitely was not the most impressive dim sum spread but truthfully, there was nothing that we wished was there. We also asked for some fried taro and they went back and made it for us as it wasn't immediately available. All in all, a solid spot with good options. Not the fanciest place, but not the jankiest either. They'll likely have what you're looking for and the folks working here are lovely! Worth the trip if you've got the hankering for dim sum and you're in the area.

This is the hubs and I favorite dim sum place in North Seattle! We are there a couple of Sundays every month. The 2 staff that work the front of the restaurant recognize us and are super friendly. The selection is pretty extensive, you order from the menu and dishes start rolling out piping hot within 5 to 10 minutes. I miss the hot carts but there is something to be said for made to order dim sum. There are several dishes only made on weekends so go on a weekend and enjoy! We always order shumai, BBQ beef buns, pan fried chive dumplings, and I love the deep fried shrimp balls with this yummy mayo lemon dipping sauce. Go check this place out!!

A good dim sum place open for dine-in. Decided to grab a quick lunch here and order a few plates. This place has relatively fewer selections compared to other dim sum places, and some dishes are not available from the menu. I order baby bok choy, bean curd shrimp rolls, and the steamed BBQ pork buns. The shrimp rolls were absolutely delicious with a great combination of different textures and flavors. The pork buns were alright, the bok choy had good flavor but unfortunately, they did not bother to split up the leaves into more appropriate sizes. You would end up having to either try to separate the leaves from the stem using chopsticks or just eat an entire baby bok choy in one bite. Overall, the service was quick and friendly, the prices and the portion were great as well. Would definitely return to try out more dishes.

Excellent Dim Sum north of the cut, served up by an incredibly kind team. Bamboo Village has been a go-to for us throughout the pandemic. They even made us dim sum on a day they were closed to facilitate a surprise birthday party for my Sweetie. Grateful we have them close by!

This food here is fantastic and so is the service. We had dinner for 3 that served 5 and had leftovers. Each dish was delicious. I normally don't even eat the rice but had seconds of this rice. The green beans were the best I've ever had. Just wish I lived closer so I could eat here more often!

My friends and I stopped here between 1 and 2pm on a Saturday. The restaurant is quite spacious, but there was only one or two other parties inside. As a result, there were only two dimsum carts going around. We got chicken feet, pork spare ribs, shu mai, and char-siu buns off the carts and ordered the pea vines and xiao long bao off the menu. Overall, we thought the food was very mediocre. The pea vines were good but very, very oily. The shu mai was by far the best the dim sum plate. Plenty of filling and good flavor. The pork spare ribs were a little goopy -- maybe too much cornstarch -- rather than tender. The chicken feet were fine, neither particularly good nor offensive. The xiao long bao (soup dumplings) were a little sub par. We each had at least one dumpling which had no soup inside, and that's 50% of the point of the dumplings. I might come back if I have a crazy craving for dim sum purely because of its proximity to my apartment and my extreme laziness, but otherwise, I'd seek out a better alternative for dim sum.

This is an adorable family-run restaurant with a huge menu. I usually go for dinner and the choices are easy: Green Onion Pancakes. Get these. If the nice folks at the restaurant say it will take awhile just tell 'em you will wait. Thank me later. Three Delicacies - We always order our meals to share family-style and we always run out of this immediately. Tangy/sweet deliciousness. Everything else I've ordered is good as well - Mongolian Chicken, Chow Mein, Fried Rice, etc etc etc.... Support a lovely local restaurant and eat well doing it. ;)

We ordered spring rolls, wonton soup, and black pepper beef. They are very good. The food come very fast and the waiter is very friendly. Will definitely come back.

We've been going here for years. Always friendly service. Always good dim sum, but lately it's been even better. Salt and pepper squid, pea vines, best siu mai. Please support this place

One of the best dim sum places and actually a bit cheaper than usual too. The 糯米鸡 is really moist and sticky. It is one of those dishes where a lot of places don't cook so well but here is really good. 叉烧酥 is surprisingly good. It tastes a bit like 肉松. Not a quite common dish in other Dimsum places as well. The service is actually quite amazing. When we walked in, the lady asked me if I want 肠粉, but I asked if they have the shrimp one which they don't have. Later on, she remembered and actually took it to our table for us. Would come back!
