We love this place for dim sum! It’s old and a little run down, but the food is fantastic. The servers are usually friendly and there is so much to choose from. It’s a great Saturday morning outing! Dim sum is only Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 AM - 2 PM.

it’s a little run down chinese joint with pretty good food overall. the restaurant is old but that’s usually a good indicator of good food right? we came in during a weekday so it was really slow. i’m sure this place is packed on a weekend. we ordered shrimp dumplings, sticky rice in lotus leaf, pork bao buns, potstickers, and shanghai dumplings. all were great. my only critique is that the shrimp dumplings had pretty thick skin and not that prominent sesame oil flavor i was wanting. potstickers were very large and filling. the other items were pretty standard and nothing special. the staff was friendly and i’d come again.

I gave this place a 5 star. 1) Fried tofu? 5 star. Nicely friend with the sauce on the side, thankfully. 2) Salted fish fried rice? 4 star. Could have used a bit more wok hei (air) but the salty fish was strong. Still very good. 3) Snow pea leaves? Very good. 4.5 star. Beef and string beans? 4 star. Brown sauce good but more western in style. 4) Pan fried noodle? Also western in style it still a 4 star. 5) White fish with veggies? 3.5 star. Okay/good. Overall, it’s pretty good for Utah. I’ll curve it to a 5 star (and a 4 star in Houston).

The food was excellent however when we were given our water we couldn't help but notice stuff floating in it. It was slightly disturbing but we were still able to enjoy our food. Just without water. The service was as good as it could be but there were some issues with the language barrier. We couldn't really understand what she was telling her what it was she didn't really understand what we were trying to ask her. All in all, it was good with some slight hiccups.

This is coming someone who has been to China and know Chinese cuisine and so if you don’t mind Americanized Chinese food this is your place but if you expect authentic then it not. The photo below is the “twice cooked pork” isn’t got and it ain’t twice cooked pork. Authentic doesn’t use broccoli snow peas or sweet sauce. It should use Pork Belly: Usually skin-on, giving a mix of fat and lean meat. • Leeks or Garlic Scapes: Traditional vegetable pairing; in Sichuan, garlic scapes (蒜苗) are preferred, but leeks are common substitutes. • Doubanjiang (豆瓣酱): Spicy fermented broad bean paste, the soul of Sichuan flavor. • Fermented Black Beans (Douchi, 豆豉): Optional but adds umami depth.

One of the most delicious Chinese Restaurants in the Salt Lake City area. It’s right on State Street for easy access. The service is prompt and efficient. The menu is vast with many choices. Potstickers are different than we’ve ever had. You can tell they are homemade but not many veggies inside. Almost all meat! Not a modern super clean place, it’s an older building but the food is worth giving it a try!

Delicious dim sum! Lots of delicious options. I ordered the 皮蛋瘦肉粥 (pork and preserved egg congee), chicken feet, rice rolls and ha gao. All absolutely delicious. Would definitely be back again when I visit SLC!

Classic dim sum service, multiple carts, many choices. Fine quality. Baked bbq pork bin is excellent, and hard to find in the area. Har gow and Shumai also great. Lots of seating. Parking may take more effort.

Not too many options for dim sum on a weekday. The restaurant is not busy during a weekday lunch time, so it was a quiet place for friends to hang out. The pickled vegetables with fish (酸菜鱼) is a stir fried dish and very spicy. We were expecting this would be a soup dish, but we were wrong. The food tasted average. Services are good. Lots of parking space.

Went for dim sum on a Sunday, not many choices especially because I don't eat pork. I think they only had 4 options total. The shrimp dumpling was good though. I ended up ordering shrimp lo mien from the menu and it came out quick and hot. It was delicious! I prefer it with more veggies so next time I'll order the veggie lo mien with shrimp. Service was great, even though I usually don't expect food service at such places. I will try somewhere else for dim sum.

Dim sum has only 2 prices. $6 and $9. Most are $6. There is no parking but restaurant is very big inside and fit a lot of people. Egg tarts look so good but I was too full already.

Best homestyle Chinese food in the Salt Lake Valley. Their chow fun cannot be beat, and I'm obsessed with their snow pea leaves (it's not on the menu but order it!!!!). Also love their eggplant in garlic sauce. Service is quick but no frills. Same staff has been working there for the 4 years I've been coming here.

Food was pretty good, generous portions off the lunch menu. Service was very attentive and accommodating to anything needed. The restaurant could use updating. But overall a good time with a group of six and not to many people on a Monday.

I came here with the family for the first time in years, and I was massively disappointed with the food. We ordered two beef dishes and two chicken dishes to share. The beef tasted strange, and I didn't like it at all. The chicken dishes were okay. The egg drop soup sadly tasted like it came from a can. The ham fried rice saved the day because it was delicious. The egg roll, silver wrapped chicken, and fried shrimp were also good. The service was fast and friendly. The ambiance, like the food, was not the best as the table was a bit dirty and one of the plates had old food on it before we scooped up our own food. I likely will not visit this restaurant again.

This is more for those who have not tried dim sum before just fyi! I've been coming here for years for dim sum and have learned a thing or two: - Best to go on weekends, Sunday is preferable bc they have a larger variety - Arriving between 11:30AM - 11:45AM to beat the church crowd and food is typically served fresher at this time to prepare for the rush - I recommend going with more than two people to try more items. Also larger parties are set in areas with more traffic flow for dim sum carts - especially during the rush, kids will play on the stage which can get noisy and rambunctious so keep in mind! - this should not be compare to traditional dim sum places like SF or anywhere really with a decent Chinatown (SL's isn't even a town, it's just a single plaza lolol) Came on a Sunday around 11:35AM with a group of 8 and were sat quickly. When we sat down, we were asked if we wanted tea. Traditionally hot tea is served with dim sum. They have Oolong, Jasmine, and Chrysanthemum tea. We ordered Chrysanthemum and for 6 and 8 waters. Had to ask for two new cups and a plate bc they weren't clean - we always check this dishes that were already set at the table. We always ask for chili oil at this point bc you're more likely to get it the first time asked before you get food. Staff has gotten friendlier, which isn't typically an expectation for dim sum (but I don't mind and feel it's authentic in the experience) lol. They brought a cup of chili oil, but we had to use chopsticks to scoop, bc they didn't have a spoon we could use, which isn't ideal. Ordered a couple rounds of dim sum. Everything was hot and delicious! Some notes on a few items: - the BBQ pork buns were cooked perfectly (the dough can sometimes be undercooked from time to time, and not just at Golden Dragon)! - the sweet tofu is silken tofu in a warm lightly sweet ginger syrup - next time I'm going to ask for more syrup (fingers crossed) - Chinese broccoli came with a light colored sauce which was new to see! Everyone seemed to enjoy the new sauce more as it was less salty - when we finished the tea, we made sure to take the pot lid and set it angled so staff new we needed more tea. Unfortunately we had to ask a few times until we received a fresh pot. - also tried get a takeout order off the menu, but had to eventually go up to pay for dim sum to order a to-go bc staff were busy with the dim sum rush. Dim sum typically has no designated server to your table so asking multiple people/times is typical, in my opinion. - staff are typically good about busing any empty tins, but this time they didn't. This wasn't a huge deal since we were just about done when things started to stack up. None of these things are surprising to me as a seasoned dim sum-mer, but as first -timer it might be a shock/overwhelming. None of things I mentioned deter us - it is what it is, and what it is, is pretty good dim sum :)

This restaurant has all the vibes of a Chinese restaurant. It may look a Tad rundown, But it's a great restaurant, and a Chinese favorite! The food is simply delicious ! My grandson loved the pom-pom chicken so much that we came back the next day! I on the other hand, love the beef and oyster sauce! It's perfection! I had a bite of his pom-pom chicken and boy did I have to agree with him. It was awesome.! The lunch special comes with egg, drop soup, my favorite, and the hot and sour soup which my husband says is the best ever! There's a shrimp and an egg roll, and the price is $8.95! What a bargain in this day and age and delicious on top of that! There are two waiters who try to keep up with all the customers ! They are very nice.

After a few visits, the food here has been consistent and good. Not overwhelmingly amazed, but I think this place is solid for Chinese food. The place looks rundown, inside and out, and I honestly thought it wasn't open the first time I came here. The Mr. and I came about an hour before closing. Only one section of the restaurant was kept open most likely to this reason. The most recent visit we decided on the family meal which currently is about $18 a person. Comes with 2 entrees (your choice from the list on the menu), egg drop soup, ham fried rice, and a few small items - 2 tempura shrimp, 2 chicken pieces wrapped in foil and 2 spring rolls. For the entrees we chose pon pon chicken and honey walnut shrimp (I think it's called something else here because it wasn't on the menu but it was offered). Both were pretty good, flavor matched the name. The small items were okay. Egg drop soup was warm-ish. We also ordered a side beef lo mein which was my favorite of the meal. Flavorful and it did not skimp on the beef at all. We would definitely order this again. It also heated up well the next day along with the other entrees. Service was cordial as it has been each time I've been here. They are quick to clean up tables, especially at the end of the night. Conversation is nice but also quick and to the point. Parking is decent but if you have a large party, some planning will be needed. Wheelchair accessible.

After a few visits since 2020, this place has been consistently good food for the price it has to offer. They have a decent variety for Dim Sum, but I wouldn't say they have the best Dim Sum in SLC. They have a pretty solid Lunch special, and it's worth going for that. The service is fine, they are attentive when needed. The environment is fine, only certain sections of the restaurants are available for seating, though it seems they can take a pretty decent crowd of customers. They have good Siu Mai and Beef Tripe.

I don't know how to say this without sounding like a snob, but New Golden Dragon just isn't New, nor Golden, nor a mighty Dragon in the Salt Lake Chinese food scene. It's dilapidated, and a veneer of dirt and age seems to coat the front of the house. I can't even imagine what the kitchen might look like. The menu has over 100+ items from all across the Chinese Culinary World. Fan favs like Ma Po Tofu and even Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Sounds great? It doesn't. While there are exceptions, generally an expansive menu means the restaurant is good at none. I tried out their Wonton w/ Noodles. A fairly simple dish with simple ingredients. It came out piping hot, but even an amateur could tell that it was created without much effort. The Bok Choy was just cut down the middle, not even actually prepped correctly. The noodles tasted fine, but the wontons tasted more like beef balls (牛肉丸) than wontons. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. All of that just plopped into a bowl of chicken stock. Disappointing.

If you want to have some authentic Cantonese food, THIS IS THE PLACE! My Hong Kong friends and I agree that New Golden Dragon has the best dim sum. You can tell how good they are by how busy this place always is, especially on weekends. Their parking lot usually is not enough to accommodate all the customers -- a lot of people need to park on the street. One time, I had to walk more than a block to find a parking spot... but it's worth it! Some of my go-to dishes are: shrimp dumpling, pork dumpling, steamed pork spareribs, century egg and pork porridge, bean curd wrap, shrimp stuffed eggplant, steamed salted egg bun, and beef ball. My favorite dish is their chives cake. When fresh and hot, the aroma and taste are incredible. Recently, I tried their soy milk, and it was SO GOOD (my friend was reluctant to try but then finished the whole thing). Their tofu dessert is pretty good too; very silky. I have to say, though, their pan-fried turnip cake is not very good. Gave it a few tries already in the times I've gone, and I won't order it anymore. This is a great place for big groups. The bigger tables can fit like ten people, and with the turntables, everyone can easily get the dish they'd like. When wanting to eat dim sum, I recommend going with a group of at least 6 people. This way, you get to share and try various dishes.

You don't usually come to salt lake for the asian food, though there are some hidden gems... this, however, isn't one of them. The price is pretty good for the quantity of food, but the quality's pretty poor. Their soy milk is crave-worthy, but everything else feels 'gloppy.' My wife and I both got food poisoning the last time we went, and probably won't be going back until we've forgotten or repressed those horrors.

So this place has been around for a long time and I have a greater appreciation for it. They still do the classic carts on the weekends and you can also get dim sum during the off times as well along with other dishes. It's a classic spot that serves all the traditional dim sum items along with some more selections. My brothers really like the Honey Walnut Shrimp and is a great item to share. Service is much better than what I remember and am glad that this place still exists! Parking is limited, but there are plenty of tables. One of the go to spot to hose an Asian wedding in Salt Lake! Pretty standard ambiance that is open.

I'm still on the hunt for the best dim sum in Utah. I read this place was the best but I beg to differ. We went on a Sunday in hopes of fresh hot carts with lots to choose from. There were carts but almost everything was lukewarm and some cold. The only hot item was when it came straight from the kitchen. I was also put off by the lake of cleanliness. So I have to say the Red Maple is the best I've found so far.

Not worth the time to throw out Ordered: 1 Fried Rice, 1 Egg-Foo-Yung, 1 Shrimp Appetizer, and a Coke. The only flavor the shrimp had was cooking oil; they were still dripping with it. The rest was just inedible; even the Coke was flat. I am a Chef, I am qualified to pass this judgment: BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!

Ordered takeout from this place so I can't say much about the atmosphere or service. I got the Mongolian Beef and it was genuinely wonderful. Really rich flavors lots of beef, lots of veggies, everything very fresh and still warm. They had also packaged everything really well so there wouldn't be any spills, and I just really appreciate that. My friend got the Szechuan beef and it was also wonderful. We both commented how nice it was that they both had distinct flavors, both rich and different from each other. This is not like so many other Chinese food places in Utah that just do the same sauce on different meats and veggies, they were really different dishes (and both fantastic)

Yeah guys, if you love dim sum, this is the place to be. The staff is friendly, and they'll get the food for you. You don't have to wait. They have gotten better and better each year I've gone there. Now, I'm obsessed with their dessert options. They have all my favorites! Eat everything and remember to save room for dessert.

This is one of the few dim sum places left in SLC. At the height of the pandemic, I did a lot of take out from here. Food was almost always ready at the estimated time. No complaint there. I recently went there for dine-in on a Sunday. Got there at 11 and did not have any problem getting table. It does get crowded at around noon so plan accordingly. The dim sum was great. The variety was pretty good also. I would definitely recommend.

0 stars! Not a person who leaves a review but for the sake of others, Do not come here unless you wish to have the worst food poisoning of your life. My family tried this place Friday, November 22. The service was bitter and rushed. They seemed bothered we were even there. The high chair was absolutely disgusting so that should have been a red flag to leave. The restaurant just looked very dirty and unkept. As far as food, we ordered some mysterious meat (pork with unwanted shrimp) filled wonton and dumplings that had an off smell and that's what has sent us all to a traumatic episode of vomiting. Recently just read their health violations below of not removing dead animals. If you enjoy being healthy and good food, you are better off somewhere else! Never again will I go here or recommend this awful place.

My first time having dim sum in Utah and it was better than I had expected. While it's not up to par with dim sum in Los Angeles, this place was actually quite good! Better than my home town San Diego! We ordered a variety of dishes (see pics) and everything tasted great! Hands down the best were the steamed SALTED EGG buns. They have the regular steamed egg custard buns, but you have to ask for the steamed salted egg buns. You will want more than just 1 order! It's a nice balance between sweet and salty, and the filling is piping hot and will flow like lava. Take precautions in making that first bite. My suggestion: take a tiny bite and slurp out some of the filling so it doesn't explode on you. Everything we tried was good and well flavored--there wasn't one bad dish. My only slightly negative comment is that the shrimp dumplings and the pea sprouts shrimp dumplings were a bit on the doughy side. The flavors were spot on, but the dough could have been thinner. Service was quick and quite pleasant. Definitely worth a re-visit when I'm in town again!

Picked up take out from here for a little family get together. It's been a while since we have been here as we ate it a lot during the pandemic. Everything tasted the same, though the portion sizes have gone down significantly. We got our usual favorites of black pepper pork chops, eggplant and pork, and Chinese broccoli along with trying out the sesame chicken and beef lo mein. The pork chops were very black peppery, which I loved though the breading was a little thick, the eggplant and pork was great as usual, just wished there was more of it (the container was half full - portion size was significantly less than the others), and the Chinese broccoli was cooked to perfection. The sesame chicken was decent, I liked that the sauce was packed in another container, and the breading was lighter. The beef lo mein was pretty crave worthy, just full of sodium and oily goodness, just wished there was more vegetables and beef. The whole meal was definitely one for the cheat day books!

Came here for dim sum today (Friday). The items available were minimal but they had the basics. The dim sum tasted good but they were either room temp or barely warm which was very disappointing.

3/25/2025. The New Golden Dragon serves the WORST food I have ever tasted, bar none! I have been on this earth for 80 years and have the money to frequent some very nice restaurants. I go out to eat often and love all kinds of food. This restaurant appears really run down but I've had good food in shabby restaurants before. It happens rarely but it's true. The reason I ended up here is a friend recommended this place. I think it must have been good in the past. My guess is he hasn't been there in quite awhile. Perhaps the management has changed recently. Absolutely nothing they serve is fresh. I tasted the cashew chicken and it was actually nasty. I couldn't eat even one full bite. Chocked down a little ham fried rice because I smothered it in sweat and sour sauce. The sauce was okay. The fried rice, vegetables and ham looked and tasted like they had been in the pan for at least 2 or 3 weeks. It appears the ham fried rice is served as a side with almost every meal so why is it so old? Potsticker was hard and tasteless. My one shrimp was barely okay if eaten with the sweat and sour sauce. I ate half of it. The reason I ate anything at all is I was very hungry. Just ate enough to keep my body going 'till I got home. This meal for two cost $40. Don't go here! You will definitely be very disappointed. I feel taken advantage of and hope they close soon so no one else is scammed into paying for food they truly can not eat.

I was finally able to come to New Golden Dragon over the weekend for Dim Sum! They did not disappoint! We had a pretty large group, so we decided to get there fairly early. We arrived at 10:15 and saw that they were actually seating people already. They don't officially open until 10:30 so food wasn't out until then but it was nice that we could sit and receive tea while waiting for the rest of our group. I would describe this dim sum as really good takes on traditional dim sum. There wasn't much experimentation or items that were super out of the ordinary. That's great if you're just looking for classic items. I agree with other reviewers that their chive dumplings were amazing, and other people at our table agreed that they were stand outs on the table. While I've had better turnip cakes at other places, especially places where they fry it to order, I enjoyed the turnip cake and can definitely say that I have had way worse turnip cake so I thought it was good too! Of course sometimes I think I would eat turnip cake out of a shoe and I would still think it's good! It might have been because we showed up early and they hadn't brought the more experimental items out yet but I just didn't see a ton of experimentation with the dishes that you might see at other dim sum restaurants. This means that if you have food allergies or dietary restrictions it could be hard. My husband was a vegetarian for years and often there are some dumplings, tofu, or sticky rice options that are prepared vegetarian. I didn't see anything like that when we were there. So if you have dietary restrictions, you might want to call ahead and ask what they have to offer. Of course, if you have a dairy allergy, you rarely need to worry at Chinese restaurants. A lot of Chinese people are lactose intolerant and real dairy rarely makes its way into the dishes. You can't argue with the prices here. Definitely at some of the more established dim sum houses where they offer more exotic dishes or variety, that will be reflected in the price. So, what's nice about them focusing on a smaller amount of dishes means that you can come here and not be shocked by a huge bill at the end of the day. We had a group of 8. Everyone ate to their heart's content, and there were plenty of things that we were able to try and plenty of things that we just didn't have room in our stomachs to try and we spent just shy of $200 (including tip) so that worked out to about $25/person. When was the last time you went out for brunch and spent $25? I definitely had a great time, I would definitely come back! As other people have mentioned, dim sum is always better in a group where you can try more dishes. If you don't have any dietary restrictions, you will have a great time. If you're looking for a classic dim sum experience, this is the spot! This place definitely fills up and the parking lot turns into a zoo in the afternoon. I still think if I had a large group, I would try to show up early but I might go with a smaller group later in the day to try it again and see if there are different items offered later. Their dining room is huge so they really can seat a lot more than what fits in the parking lot.

The food, service, and overall experience here is amazing. I highly recommend. I've been coming here multiple times a week sometimes back to back days for 5 years. The people here are the best, and when you accompany that with the food, it is truly the best experience. Ambience is amazing. Everything is 10/10. Highly recommend.

New Golden Dragon is the go-to Chinese restaurant for both me and my husband. I always order their salted fish fried rice and he orders their chicken and broccoli, and both are always delicious. I can't speak about the service or ambiance because we always order their food to go, but there's a reason why their phone number is saved on my favorites--their food is just amazing!

The only place I know to get dim sum in SLC, and pretty good options, though the eggplant goes fast so get a lot before it's gone! The weekends are hopping so go early to get a spot before the line is bad. I enjoyed everything I had but wanted more eggplant! Also I didn't like the egg tarts as much as I did as a kid but the chicken's feet were still yummy! To be fair I'm not a dim sum connoisseur but I did eat it weekly for many years of my childhood life in the 626, so I think it's fair to say it holds up as good dim sum!

I took my family yesterday to this restaurant because my wife loves Chinese food. She always loves the ambiance of this location. The experience we had this evening was well below average than what we are used to. First of all, the service lacked friendliness. Secondly, the kung po chicken caused serious stomach distress to myself. So much so that I had to rush home for relief. Lastly, we had a medium sized bug crawling across our table that we had to kill with a used napkin. Sadly, we will take our business elsewhere when our craving for Chinese food returns.

First visit here as it's close to the SLC airport, convenient location. We ordered dim sum and menu items, specifically: bok choy with oyster sauce, BBQ pork buns, pork dumplings, shrimp dumplings, and kung pao chicken. The service was friendly, and we didn't have to wait too long to receive our food. Dim sum was tasty and satisfying. The menu items we were really pleasantly surprised with! Kung Pao chicken was probably one of the best I've had (and I don't order this dish very often). The bok choy was cooked perfectly, crispy on the stalk part, and had a light oyster sauce on it. The ambiance and decor can be updated and needs a bit of improvement. Other than that, it was a great first visit.

My family and some friends and I tried this place for the first time a few days ago and it was FANTASTIC! I'm not over exaggerating when I say it's probably the best chinese food I've ever had. The food was all fresh and well-seasoned and cooked, and the service was impeccable! I brought my 3-year-old son with us and the staff were so patient and playful with him! And within about 15 minutes of sitting down our party of 12 had all of our food at our table. They also have a large menu FULL of many options for any craving. I can't recommend this place enough! It's our new favorite date night stop!

Peking duck was pretty good! Solid option for dim sum. Not too many options in Salt Lake - but always solid good food

I'll start off by saying I've only done take out with this place. Until I decided to come in for a celebration dinner and the service right off the bat was very off putting. The older gentleman at the door was very sassy about seeing us arrive as we were a big party of 7. Understandable it's a hassle to serve a big table, but the rude treatment while seating us and taking our order was rushed & he kept getting it wrong repeating it back to us. The food was good as always but we just did not feel welcome and rushed to eat. We still tipped out, but as a past server I expected more from this place. Sadly I will never come here again for any dine in occasion. That was enough for me, hopefully it improves with time.

After reading Yelp reviews, we decided to visit both New Golden Dragon (NGD) and Cafe Anh Hong (CAH). Price: NGD is cheaper. Taste: NGD taste is better. Comparison: Dim Sum. NGD tastes better. We ordered the gau choi (chive dumpling) at both NGD and CAH. The chive dumpling at CAH had less content with a strong batter (wrap) taste. Comparison: Beef Chow Fun. NGD tastes better. We order the chow fun at both locations. The noodles at CAH were in short pieces (broken), possibly because they made their own noodles. Comparison: Entrees. NGD tastes better. We order the duck, cold ginger chicken, green onion beef at NGD. All were very tasty and delicious. We ordered the Squid with vegetable, char siu, lamb stew and fried tofu at CAH. The squid dish had very little taste, the char siu was very dry (old). The lamb stew and fried tofu were good, but they did not honor the price listed on the menu for the lamb stew, which was 14.95. Instead they charged us 18.00, not honoring the advertised price.

I love Dim Sum with my whole heart. I have tried more than a handful of dim sum places in the valley. Some have a better selection but New Golden Dragon beats them all on flavor and quality. My favorite item are the stuffed mushrooms. They are filled with ground shrimp and covered in a delectable sauce. Other items that are a must try are the delicious soup dumplings called Shanghai Dumplings on the menu. Their Pork Shumai (Pork dumplings) are the best for flavor and texture that I have tried in the valley. Be sure to try the Fried Shrimp dumplings as well, the white sauce they come with is delightful and the wrap is flaky and crisp, not your usual dumpling wrapper. Lastly, I am not a huge fan of pork buns but my friends are and they commented that these are their favorite in the valley as well. The dough is perfectly fluffy and the bun is well filled. The filling, they commented, is also well flavored. Forgive us that the pictures only contain on dumpling or so. It was hard to slow down enough to take pictures. Years ago I came here with a friend from China and he loved the other menu items and commented that their authentic menu was very good. I recall enjoying everything I tasted but can't comment on the items individually as it has been awhile.

This is my goto takeout chinese restaurant. The food is what I call American Chinese, meaning your old fashioned chinese restaurant. Their hot and sour is the best in town and to be honest, that's how I judge chinese restaurants; if they can't make hot and sour, nothing else matters. they always get my order correct and it is still hot when I get home with it and I live in upper Millcreek. If your eating in, the atmosphere is not exciting but ok.

I went there for a late lunch with 5 members of my family. It was busy, but we were seated and had our first bowl of shrimp dumplings with in minutes. The ladies with the steam carts were constantly making the rounds. If you asked for something the lady at your table didn't have on her carte, she immediately flagged down a colleague to fetch it for us. All of the food we had was very very good. Our drinks stayed topped off the whole time we were there.

This is our go to place when we are craving Chinese food. It's in an older building with tacky curtains hanging on all of the windows. Servers tend to be matter of fact workers and not super friendly. But the food is good and served hot and fresh.

This review is for people that appreciate HK style Chinese food. Cart service for Dim Sum and very authentic Cantonese food. Place looks run down but no one is going here for the ambiance... want real Chinese food, go here

We've always enjoy going there for dim sum. Of course, weekends are crazy. But carts keep coming around. The one question is: has anyone else noticed on their bill an item labeled "dim sum kit"? Does anyone know what that is?
