I came in here with my American friend, hopefully trying to open them up to trying dimsum and more Chinese cuisine. Unfortunately, this was not the right place to demonstrate Chinese hospitality. Despite coming in during slow hours and there being plenty of waitstaff, very few wanted to actually engage with us. It was so difficult to wave over a waitress to put in orders, despite two of them talking with another family. There was very little interaction between us, and the waitress seemed eager to leave us. Interior was relatively dull as well, quiet, but well lit. I feel like it needs more atmosphere, personally.
As for the food, I must say, everything was alright for the most part. Some dishes came out a little cold, or room temperature, which was a little off putting for me. As for the salt and pepper squid, I was not expecting it to be beer-battered, as many other Chinese restaurants cook it differently. As I am Chinese myself, I can't say for certain if that's a different style or if it is just to make it appear larger and add more dough.
Overall, I was a little disappointed with the service and was hoping that the food would be a little more true to my tastebuds, since it was true to the dim-sum price. I think I'll try another place next time.
