I was going back and forth between giving them 4 stars or 5 stars, realistically I'd give them 4.5 stars just because on a certain day (I believe it's Wednesday, I'm not too sure) they don't offer their baked dim sum items which is a bummer because it's so good. They also do charge for tea which was foreign to me because usually it's always included so that's just something to note. But I decided to go ahead with giving them 5 stars because the overall experience and taste of the food can make me overlook that inconvenience.
Upon entering, you'll notice it's a fairly small restaurant so don't expect dim sum carts strolling around. You order off the menu, which I honestly prefer. It's a small family owned restaurant and they're very helpful and informative with any questions you may have or if you're unsure on what to order.
Let's get into the best part, the food!
- lotus leaf sticky rice: 3.5/5, the flavor was really good and loaded with filling but it wasn't as enjoyable since the rice was pretty overcooked
- beef chow fun (dry): 4/5, solid chow fun
- siu mai: 5/5, very tasty and packed with filling
- shrimp dumplings (har gow): 5/5, soooo good and it's PACKED with shrimp!
- golden shrimp rice roll: 5/5, if you could only get one thing, GET THIS! This was our favorite item, it was so good we ended up ordering more for our table AND to-go
- fried pork dumpling: 4.5/5, this was really good as well! it wasn't heavily oily either
- fried shrimp ball: 4.5/5, again super tasty without being super oily!
- egg tarts (Dan tat): 4.5/5, I usually don't like regular egg tarts but theirs was really good! I hate when the filling is super jelly-like but theirs was more custard-like which I loved! & it wasn't too sweet
- shrimp & chive dumpling: 5/5, I usually don't like this item either because it usually has too many chives and not enough shrimp but theirs has so much shrimp and it's so flavorful!
Overall, I definitely recommend this place. I drive about 40 minutes just to eat here. You can bet that almost all of their dim sum has so much filling and so much shrimp! Id also like to mention their chili oil, it was super flavorful and fragrant. It's not spicy at all but it's expected especially since it's in granite bay.
