The Best Dim Sum Restaurants in Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"Happy Valley Dim Sum is the sleeper pick in the roundup as it comes with a private event hall for weddings, a vast dining room with rolling carts, and an extensive Cantonese menu. Diners appreciate not having to fight for a table here, as this Norcross establishment tends to stay less crowded on weekends compared to the bustling scene in Duluth. Grab bolo baos, hargow, and steamed rice rolls off the cart and supplement with a warm and comforting bowl of congee. Carts roll from opening until 3 p.m., after which dim sum is available all day via the menu." - Candy Hom

This place has been open for almost 30 years, and it’s easy to see why. The food is authentic and always tasty. I really like the steamed chicken with ginger and scallions, the black bean clams, and the beef with satay sauce. The fried chitterlings with pickled mustard greens have a crispy, tangy kick, and the handmade beef meatballs are very chewy. I love their dim sum, especially the egg tarts — some of the best I’ve had, with a flaky crust and smooth, lightly sweet custard. They also do catering and have a big banquet hall, which is handy for events. Definitely worth checking out.

This is the only Cantonese restaurant I will go for dim sum in Atlanta. It was renewed a few months ago. The food is towards the best. The service is good and the manager is very nice. I especially like the rice rolls and egg tarts. It is not easy to find these real Cantonese taste in this city. They have done it well.

The restaurant is very open and spacious when entering the main room. Not crowded when we enter to test trial the food/meal for the upcoming wedding this year. The food was cooked delicately from the beginning of the appetizer to the ending of the dessert. We went through different plates to see which is more favorable and which we can substitute it. The Peking duck, ginger scallion lobster, and steak was tender to the point it melts in your melt. The service was top notch and coordinated with others to be sure we feel as a priority. No leftover bowl or plate were unattended when finished. Water and hot tea was never half empty. Overall, the atmosphere is calm when dining in and the servers is full on focus to the upmost care to the customers.

Yummy dim sum, friendly service and nice atmosphere. We've come here many times over the years and the food has been consistently good. The usual is always ordered, plus a couple of new dishes today: long bo, chao hot vit bac thao, xiu mai, chan ga, dau hu ky, banh bao xa xiu.

I’m pretty sure I just got ripped off. I ordered 2 dim sum items and the total was $12.72. One of them only had 2 small pieces, and the guy charged me $6 for each dim sum item. It’s crazy. The sticky rice thing tasted bad too, only the tofu wrapped thing tasted good. But I don’t recommend this place. I asked the guy for a menu, and he said the menu doesn’t have prices. What kind of restaurant doesn’t have prices on their menu?

The food was pretty decent, maybe a little oily but nonetheless good. The place itself was really spacious but it seems the place might need a remodel. Service was amazing though. It wasn’t busy when we came so the servers were always around giving us different dim sums and refilling our waters which was great. They were very kind and super helpful. It’s very kid-friendly and apparently they do weddings.

Went there tonight for dinner. The food was great and we mostly had dim sum and everything tasted great. The best part about happy valley is the service and everyone was very friendly. We will definitely return

Attended a Lunar New Year gala here last week and it was wonderful. Hadn't been back here in a while since there are so many places to choose from, but glad I was back. The restaurant decor is quite nice, not a typical Asian restaurant style decor though. The service was very good and the food was delicious.

Really great Dim Sum ( Chinese tapas ). Love the hot and fresh dumplings. So much variety even in desserts. Usual siu mai, haw gao, sticky rice, crepe noodles, congee, scallop dumplings, different types of bao all were so delicious and steaming hot. Then the desserts Coconut gelatin squares, bakery sweets, even had a chocolate mousse there. Love the roaming carts. Service was very good. Always a server around for more tea or wanting to order special items. Beautifully decorated with those large gorgeous crystal chandeliers and the large screen in the background depicting famous places in China was very striking. Great setting for a wedding or a milestone birthday dinner. Spacious and the gold chairs definitely add a touch of class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place and will definitely come back.

Went on a Friday at about 4 PM. This restaurant has dim sum in the name and advertises dim sum ALL DAY. I guess technically they are correct, but what they do not say is that after lunch time dim sum is very limited.... a fair number of the menu items are not available at all in the afternoon, and the server said some others that were still available could be seen sitting on a hotel pan or tower warmer covered in plastic from the morning -- what was left there, was available. Very disappointing. We ate several offerings and drank a pot of tea and were gone in 30 minutes. What we had was fine. But it was not the experience we had hoped for. Prices were fine. If I am back in that part of Georgia again, I guess we would try it -- when they first open.

Traveling the country in search of dim sum restaurants I found myself on an unexpected road trip after a flight cancellation. Driving through Atlanta I came across this restaurant on a search of places that serve all day dim sum. Unfortunately the selection was limited to only a few steamed items for dinner service, with none of the fried/baked items being available. The har gow was decent but the siu mai was a bit dense. The dinner items were excellent and very authentic Cantonese cuisine. Service was also fantastic considering it was close to closing time. Overall an excellent restaurant for Cantonese cuisine, but limited in terms of dim sum if not coming during lunchtime hours.

I recently had the privilege of ordering a tasty Uber Eats delivered meal from here. I've been meaning to try this place for 3 years now as I live nearby but just never got to it until this past Saturday. I thought I'd give my sick hubby a break from cooking for my mom and I who are both down at the moment with other health issues. I had a 40 percent off Uber Eats coupon and ordered in the app without any problems. I was happy to see chow fun here, as I have not had the noodle dish since leaving my birthplace of Hawaii 3 years ago. I know I can make it at home. It's been on my list to cook, along with a lot of other favorites I've been making lately. However, it's always nice to see a comfort food you can order conveniently when you're down. I got the egg drop soup, beef chow fun (a little pricy at $20 for the portion, but everything has come up everywhere lately), mushu chicken, and a veggie egg roll. There are many other items I wanted to try, but I went with what I was craving at the moment for brunch. I like that everything was securely packaged, hot and fresh, and they gave a lot of condiments without asking. The restaurant was even nice enough to send a message on Uber Eats after the order, thanking me for the positive review I left. In terms of the food: the egg drop soup and veggie egg roll were great - standard, but great accompaniments to the meal, the mushu chicken was flavorful - I would get it again, and the beef chow fun was cooked perfectly. Honestly, my only complaints were that there was no hoisin sauce included with the mushu and that the beef in the chow fun could have definitely used some salt and pepper. Thank goodness I had some hoisin sauce on hand or I'd be very sad, as it is one of the main reasons I even order mushu dishes - for that flavor. And the chow fun was readily fixed with some soy sauce, of course. Overall, it was a great meal though. I would love to try their fried rice and other dim sum items along with maybe their veggie chow fun. I would recommend them for takeout or delivery if you're in the area.

Ai yah! I'm not often disappointed with having dim sum, but our experience on Saturday was not a happy valley. The first red flag was the large restaurant was nearly empty at 11:30 on a Saturday morning. The good dim sum houses are bustling on weekends. We were seated immediately, and the carts loaded with dim sums arrived soon after. The usual items were present and they looked right. But every dish was lukewarm or downright cold! One problem seems to be the dishes are cooked and then staged in a tower warmer (in plain sight in the dining room). Because the restaurant was not crowded, the dishes did not turnover, So the carts were loaded with food that was not freshly cooked, and the device failed to keep the dishes hot. Cold dim sum is a turn off man. On the positive note, since the restaurant was empty we were seated immediately. We were not rushed to leave, and the restaurant was quiet so we were able to enjoy nice table conversation with our friends.

Heading home and drove past Happy Valley and we thought let's give it a try. First impression was that we were walking into an event center not a restaurant. This place is huge! I could easily see having a corporate dinner or company awards ceremony here. We can imagine that the Asian community has small concerts or dances here. This is our first venture for dim sum since moving here (5 yrs ago!! HA!) First up was a cart of 'appetizers' (not sure what they are really called) and we just selected the taro dumplings. They were really good - crispy light not too greasy and soft/fluffy inside. Next we placed our order of a few different selections of dim sum and hubby got an entree. We selected crab dumplings, siu mai, beef short ribs, and the scallop in garlic sauce. We ordered the clams with black bean sauce but they were out of clams. They suggested mussels and we agreed. They were the green type, our least favorite kind. Out of all the dishes these were the most disappointing. Everything else was great though and we'll be back. Looking forward to it! We started out good with getting the first snap, but once the rest of the food arrived it smelled so good we just dug in...oops.

This is my favorite dim sum restaurant of all time. My family has returned to this place for nearly 10 years because we love it so much. I highly recommend the short ribs and siu mai at least. The service is some of the best I've had at a dim sum restaurant, especially from the kind old man. Don't be intimidated by the spacious venue and fancy decorations, or the fact that there seems to be a lack of customers to fill a very large restaurant. I will always be a fan of Happy Valley!

It's been a while since I've felt compelled to write a review, but this place has earned it, and for all the right reasons. My son wanted dim sum for his 11th birthday. We live in Knoxville, and that's just not a thing. We were in Alpharetta for his hockey tournament and we're headed out of town when my wife found this place online. This was a 30 minute drive in the WRONG DIRECTION from driving home. To say that this put me in a bad mood would undersell the situation. Then we arrived. My wife and I used to consider ourselves hole-inthe-wall connoisseurs before we had children and this place took us back. Chinese family serving authentic Chinese food in Chinese fashion to primarily Chinese patrons. Each plate was true to form. No menu necessary- the carts come to you and entice your senses. Given the excitement of everyone at our table (wife, kids.....myself) we went quite a bit overboard on our selection. We picked up nearly every offering but the congee and chicken feet. Our table was a virtual mountain of tapas sized delectables. We gorged ourselves, knowing that it will easily be months before we see dim sum again. It was all delicious! Now, not everything was perfect. The ornamentation was a remnant of a prior establishment that must have been "fat Greek wedding". Coliseums and statues with large gaudy chandeliers did not esthetically jive with the food. Not a big deal. I also grade restaurants on the cleanliness and functionality of their restroom, and theirs were unacceptable. Minus a star there. But would I go back? Was the extra travel time worth it? Yes and yes. We travel to Atlanta periodically for hockey and this spot has earned a permanent place in our rotation. The classic presentation of delicious dim sum with great service, reasonable pricing and cultural flavor. My family left stuffed and happy!

This is the first dim sum restaurant that I went to in GA, and I was impressed. The aesthetic is very cute, probably the best I've ever seen for a dim sum restaurant. The cuisine itself was great as well, with your standard selection (chicken feet, sticky rice, etc.). Plenty of options during a Sunday afternoon. We called ahead, and was told dim sum was served until I believe 3:30, and just that happened. I wish I took pictures of what I ate, but that would tell you that I had the time to take a picture before I started digging in, and that did NOT happen. 5/5!

One of the top dim sum joints in ATL. Today was our second time back and unlike the first time, we paced ourselves and didn't gorge. However, we did learn which dishes we liked from our first visit. Here are my current favorites: - There's this plain fried donut like pastries (comes in three) that has the texture of mochi and has a small amount of pork (I believe?). This is my all time favorite and better eaten hot. - Chicken congee soothes your soul. - Anything shrimp is good like the har gow, shrimp flat noodle rolls, and my favorite is the shrimp and chives dumplings. Also, they just added a fried shrimp rolls and it was so good and had so much shrimp filling. The fried part just became a tad overwhelming though. - Taro dumpling is a piece of art. It looks unique and has layers of texture. It has chicken filling I believe and the middle is soft and dense from the taro, with flaky outer cover. Yum! - For dessert, egg tarts of the sesame balls are a must! We still haven't tried everything but will continue to visit to do so~ One thing we really like about this place is the friendly staff, which I think is hard to find for dim sum joints since they're usually chaotic. Also, if you come at the right time, it's not too overly crowded! Aside from dim sum, I also came here for one of those AAPI banquets long time ago through AT&T function and I recall all the main dishes being amazing as well!

This place got me fUcked UP. For two people had 10 little plates, 60 buckaroos are you kidding. Tasted so booty too, there's mediocre dim sum and this was below mediocre. AND the cashier called us big backs, talking about "you guys ate ALL that?". There's way better dim sum out there for better price.

This place is a HIDDEN GEM! Went with a group of friends and decided to go for a more family style feast, so we ordered multiple dishes and shared. We were not disappointed with the large portions(see pictures). My favorite dishes were surely the Peking Duck, lobster, salt & pepper calamari, and house lo mein HK noodles, but everything was delicious. Each dish was served beautifully and I could taste the quality of the ingredients that you usually don't get at other restaurants. Next time you're in the Norcross area, DEFINITELY check this place out. Ambiance: large space (event hall in addition to restaurant); super clean interior with chic chandeliers and rotating Lazy Susan tables for easy sharing Parking: ample free parking in the lot in front of the restaurant

It was okay as a dim sum place. Some of the food was cold and they didn't have many servers. We ran out of tea and they didn't refill it for a long time. They also don't have a lot of options for food.

A very nice place for dimsum! I found that with other dimsum restaurants are too oily and greasy for my taste. But this one is always clean and nice. I personally avoid chicken feet but I've heard some very good reviews about it they also have steamed vegetables and regular entrées that you can order as well. My favorite thing to get is the century egg rice porridge.

Minion B.

Yelp
Food was very delicious. Dimsum was as you would expect it to be, tasty and fresh. and decent price point, I think its $5 per dimsum plate. Service was not terrible. The dimsum cart lady would disappear once in a while making it hard to order but the male servers would see you and grab the food you wanted from the dimsum carts parked at the corner of the room. Ambiance is same as most dimsum places, crowded and busy but I feel like thats standard and part of the dimsum experience. Aside from the grouchy dimsum cart lady and the bathroom was locked/not available for use. I give this place 4.5 stars (dunno how to to give half a star extra).

I called earlier this week to make reservations since it was available on their website. A lady took my name, time, and party size. We got there a little early and the guy said they do not do reservations when I gave him my name but it wasn't too pack so we got seated after table and seat organizing. We got hot tea but no water or chili oil was brought to the table. Carts came all at once and was overwhelming I didn't even sit down yet and the fried foods was cold. There weren't much options for dumplings and the little we did get got cold quick too. The salt and pepper squid was sooo dry. We didn't get offered congee or tofu. Service took forever to get a menu and it wasn't busy.

My mom was visiting so we wanted to try some dim sum. Upon entering the restaurant is very huge and has upscale decorations. It looked like they were going for a Greek theme. It's nice. Again the restaurant is huge, and looks like they must throw some huge parties here. Onto the food..... Not sure if it was an off day here but the food wasn't that good and service was very sub-par. They kept forgetting my groups request such as soy sauce or hot mustard. The food was just meh. It was all hot and streaming when they placed it on the table, but not what we're used to. Not sure if I'll be back unless someone else invited me and knew what they were doing lol.

Food is good. Service is okay. If you're going for the food, you are in the right place. You may be walking in when it's someone's wedding but don't be surprised lol there are other events going on at night and you may be right in the middle of it. This place is nostalgic so I give it a 5 lol it's an Atlanta classic ‍

I was in during the week and before dinner service. This place is ready for crowds. Everything I tried was very good. The service was attentive. They checked on me at least three times. I ordered beef chow fun to go. The kitchen got the order wrong and sent out pan fried noodles w pork. Um. Not the same thing. So I had to wait while they redid the order. No biggie. Can't wait to go back with a bunch of ppl.

Surprisingly fast, friendly. Despite prepping for a grand gala that evening we still got some attention. Staff spoke some English. Pork Shumai and Taro Dumplings were top items but all Siu Mai were fresh and had more flavor than any other we have tasted in Atlanta. There were so many choices in the carts that we did not order from the menu. The only reason I dropped the fifth star is that the dishes were mostly warm, only a few were steaming hot.

The overall atmosphere inside is very classy, however when the food arrived to our table it was only lukewarm and the service for the most part was unfriendly. This was our first time trying dim sum and we were not impressed. Our tea was also extremely weak, basically just hot water. Some of the food items were tasty but all were lukewarm. For me and my boyfriend to eat there it was $32 and we hardly ate the few plates that we did get and we stopped getting them after the first cart due to the lukewarm food.

Don't waste your time or money on mediocre food, bad service, and dishonest people. Watch your bill carefully, and watch out for them changing your tip amount. Apparently they are well experienced at stealing from patrons after a bad service.

I came here for Saturday morning Dim Sum and was quite impressed. It wasn't packed like places in Chamblee (Canton House, Oriental Pearl, and Royal China. Customer service was decent but the waiter did forget our waters as I had to tell somebody to get my water. Now for the food. The pork sai-mi was very big and tasty. It even had a small shrimp on top it it. The sticky rice was tasty. I enjoyed the taro balls as well. The one thing I didn't like was the raddish squares as they were cold and not a lot of mini shrimps inside. I like Royal China's better as they put it on the grille and make it hot in front of you before they serve it. All in all, it decent. The price is inexpensive vs Canton House where it's a lot more. I probably will come back again for the dim sum!

I was curious and read some of the 1 star Reviews. WHOA!! However with That said, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HAPPY VALLEY!! I have been a pretty consistent customer, for YEARS. AND, I have been eating dim sum, for approximately 20 years. I have had dim sum in Canada, England and Holland. I will say, that the very best dim sum I have ever consumed was in London's China Town. However, I put Happy Valley, right behind them. The Manager is Very intent on having Happy customers, AND Staff too.

This most recent visit is actually my 2nd time here (dim sum)... Dining with the future in laws and significant other, we wandered here this past Sun at 11 AM for dim sum. This place isn't really known for dim sum so don't go expecting super delicious food as compared to, for instance, Canton House. The chicken feet wasn't particularly good here, and I don't even eat it too often. What meat there was wasn't really tender. Don't even get it. The other items were average. There wasn't anything wowing to mention. The selection and number of carts were comparable to other dim sum places... And like other Chinese places, some of the employee can speak both Chinese and Vietnamese (English included of course). Service was eh as our waters were left unfilled the whole duration of our meal. Yes, it was NEVER filled. Never. Empty dishes were taken away though so that part wasn't too bad. Mom had to whip out her own water bottle too. :/ Overall, coupled with the service and food, I'd say this place is a solid 3 stars for me. The restaurant was filled with patrons, but it wasn't packed. It could be bc the place was so huge or bc of this place's averageness. You decide.

It's been a year since I've dined here and I have to admit, their dim sum definitely had major improvements. This past weekend, my family and I were in the mood for some Chinese style tapas so owe decided to give it another try. Since we arrived early, the host sat us right away. At the table, carts were seen rolled around with various steamed dim sums. We immediately flagged down several servers and ordered the following classics: Pork shumai 4/5, pork shumai with shrimp 4/5, har gow 4/5, shrimp chow fun 4/5, bbq pork chow fun 4/5, pork spare ribs 3/5, beef short ribs 3/5, lo mai gai 4/5, shrimp balls 4/5, calamari 3/5, char siu bao 4/5, and flan 4/5. Everything we ordered was delicious. However, the best dishes that stood out for me was the flan, bbq pork chow fun, har gow, and the shumais. I don't think there's any difference for the shumai really. Both shumais tasted the same except one has the shrimp topping while the other doesn't. Service was also great! Everything that was asked arrived very quickly. I'm glad that everything turned out so well during our visit! I'll definitely return again when I'm in the mood for dim sum and tea!

Happy Valley has been in Atlanta for along time. I first visit happy valley when it was just a restaurant on Buford Highway. They moved up to Norcross for about a decade and we've been going to the restaurant every year for weddings. The food at weddings here have always been average. My latest wedding here was a total let down. The food came out late causing the event to be late. When food arrived it was not even hot anymore. Our table was very disappointed in the quality of food. No one at the table took togo home from the left over wedding food. Our table always has someone take leftovers home but no one wanted to take anything home. It was a letdown. I'm giving 3 stars because Happy Valley is just average. Will probably not come here anymore unless someone invites us to another wedding.

This was fun and my first time with dim sum like this. The food was really quite good, the shrimp balls and shrimp dumplings were the top of the list. The pork buns were too dry. The pork ribs were way too fatty for me. Ambiance isn't awesome, didn't feel super clean but not dirty, wouldn't keep me away but keeps it from a 4 star.

Classic chinese restaurant and for a good reason too. They have some of the best quality authentic Chinese dishes here in the ATL. I especially love their Peking duck and seriously they have the best duck around. Perfectly crispy outside with juicy, tender meat inside. Pairs superbly with the buns and sauce. This is my go to restaurant for any celebratory dinner!

Interior was soo nice. So fancy. Made me feel like I was at a wedding reception or something. Me and my sister just missed the lunch dim sum rush, so we just ordered the dim sum off the menu. The servers were helpful and nice. Food: Peking duck (half). SOOOO GOOD!!!!! Came with buns to make tiny steam tacos. Amazing. Pork bun: small. And hallow. Sweet filling Dumplings: yummy not too salty Shrimp dumplings : can't complain pretty good. (3 pcs) Overall. I bought a groupon to come back and try the other specials and I must come back for lunch dim sum!

Ok, although some of the stuff I was eating I had no idea what was in it, so I basically ate by sight. First the propane smell was a little overwhelming. But the food was super tasty. My eyes were like a shifty person sitting in a police station waiting to be interrogated. There is so many things on each cart, I had a back up of little asian women waiting for me to decide. So I picked a good 10 to 13 things can't remember really I just unhinged my jaw and started dropping those little balls of shrimp, pork, chicken dumplings and crispy noodle balls of tasting fucking goodness in my gaping hole. Really good noodles I took a plate home to fill my esophagus completely up because what I ate only reached to my lower esophagus sphincter opening. Really good place.

This place is the real deal. The interior is huge, ornate, and borders on the opulence of the traditional Dim Sum establishments I've come to know around the world. The food is extraordinary and authentic as well. I will absolutely have this on my must visit list for anytime I'm in Atlanta.

This place has above average dim sum. Service and atmosphere are good as well. Very clean. I used to come here much mire frequently, until I moved further away.

The dim sum is very authentic, suits our tastes, the only thing is that the dishes are serve lukewarm, Especially the fried items, are cold. Wu Kok (fried taro dumpling puff thing) is big, crunchy, and moist. Quite enjoyed that. Zha leong (rice wrapped fried curller roll) the roll is very crunchy and hor fun is soft- the best we have had so far! Salted egg us within porridge!! But- again- it's lukewarm. We prefer our food pantry nping hit especially on a cold rainy day Note to self: chrysanthemum tea has rock sugar dumped into it, ask for it to be separate.

This restaurant is good to eat with family. My wife and I with our kids went here every weekend when we have the time to have family gathering. Our server was very polite and courteous.

I placed a call-in order and the food was great. I ordered General Tsu Chicken and white rice. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. Great atmosphere and polite staff. The price was a little steep compared to other restraints in the area. Overall I would recommend this restaurant and will definitely go back again. COVID procedures are in place and hand sanitizer was available at the entrance. I felt like they take safety and sanitation seriously, and I appreciated that.

I came here to sample their food for my wedding on Chinese New Years Weekend and expected good service and a great time. in fact, I had an 11:30 am appointment with the manager and all, and when I showed up, overall, was so unimpressed by the whole visit, that I will not be signing with them for my wedding, nor will I come back to eat. The manager didn't even show us much hospitality- tossed us a menu and went off- didn't even discuss the wedding menu she had typed only on paper menu, and then afterwards, the dimsum was mediocre/average, service was abysmal, and they even forgot one of our main dishes' orders. Not very professional and would have caused me much anxiety on my wedding day. Wedding service: they give you a paper menu in all Chinese and some broken English description.For the price you pay of 600$ a table including service and tips and tax, it's really expensive. The offerings we were given included eight spiced duck, shark fin soup, quail, roasted duck, appetizer platter, black mushroom with chinese broccoli, yang chow fan, walnut shrimp, and lobster. This is an impressive menu at first glance, but we decided shark fin was cruel, chinese broccoli was too cheap, and weren't sure what the appetizer platter meant. When you come to the restaurant, it's 40$ a person to even try this option. So we decided to order off the menu and try their dim sum. Dim sum: the wrappings/skin were coming off of everything- stuck together, indicating over cooked dim sum. The pork ribs were too oily. The glutinous rice was not bad. The siu mai wasn't bad but wasn't outstanding. I was more appalled that everything was stuck together and looked like they weren't turned over too fast enough- indicating lack of freshness and lack of demand by customers, meaning sitting out too long in the carts. Lobster- their lobster wasn't bad but was certainly pricy- the seasonal price was 18.99$/ lb and this dish was definitely the better of all that we had but this must have been where the MSG was hiding b/c I was downing a gallon of water afterward even through my engagement. It is braised stir fried in a rich oily sauce. Mu-shu vegetable- the wrap that you're supposed to wrap mu shu in here ripped apart as soon as we put the too moist and overcooked veggies in. Flavor was fine but veggies were brown. Walnut Shrimp- a popular dish that reminded me of a light popcorn shrimp in mayo with broccoli on the side the contrast this rich dish. I highly recommend this who love their crisp and mayo. Soup- we ordered the seafood veggie soup and seafood tofu. Seafood Tofu was a super filler soup in my opinion with frozen peas and artificial crab- reminded me of a cheap tofu soup in most buffets. The seafood veggie had a healthy and comfortable broth with shrimp and squid. This was a better soup to me/c one could clearly see the individual components and was less filler than the other soup. Service was quite poor. One had to go up and actively flag someone for service. The manager didn't even come and speak to us despite our appointment and it was quite disappointing in hospitality. Refills were almost nil.

Dim Sum is hard to find. Happy did me right and I am happy! Su Mi was great, wonton soup was outstanding as I have never had it with crunchy wontons in the soup before. Well worth the price and no wait. I also went at the right time for dim sum, lunch...
