Another addition to the growing collection of Chinese restaurants in LIC -- but unfortunately quite a step below the many other delicious options in the area.
I came for an early brunch on a Sunday, and there were plenty of tables available for our party of 2. I have to say, it is an interesting experience to order and eat from a Chinese dim sum menu while sitting in a restaurant with interior design that's still in the style of the old-time diner that used to occupy this space for the past century.
We ordered some selection of dim sum options, which were largely pretty mediocre. The steamed spare ribs -- always a classic -- were a letdown. The meat was hard to chew, and the flavour just had very little depth (meat itself was bland and there was barely any flavour from the sauce). The turnip cake (usually one of my favourites) was similarly bland and dry.
Chicken feet and the har gow (shrimp dumplings) weren't too bad. The shrimp dumplings were very juicy, but tasted a bit overcooked. The chicken feet were probably the highlight -- tender and juicy.
The price point was also really high, not only for the amount and quality of food we had, but even just in comparison to the many, far better restaurants in the neighbourhood. I feel like this was just a rather disappointing experience overall, and I don't think I plan to come back in the near future.
