This place is definitely a place to go to for Dimsum. Fresh food and unlike other places they do not keep trying to hustle asking your for stuff you don’t want. Will highly recommend this place you will not regret it.

Small location, limited amount of seating. The food came out really fast. My sister and I thought the food was eh. We don’t have a tongue for dim sum food. The rest of my family (elders) liked the food. I would not come here again, but this place may be good for you if you have a tongue for dim sum. Crowded, busy, and tight seating. Table space was limited for our table, it was a bit hard to eat. Expect a wait. We arrived at around 11:30 A.M on a Sunday. There were 11 people in front of us on the waitlist. Our wait time was an hour for 5 people. The employee in charge of the waitlist had a bit of a sassy/rude tone, but remained professional. I saw guests having conflicts and questions with him about the waitlist. Average costumer service. Nice decorations and atmosphere. Medium sized parking lot.

Great food and worth the wait. We waited about 30 minutes but the dimsum was delicious and fresh. U recomme d the beef chow fun!!! They bring the dimsum right after they are cooked. Best time to go is 11 am or 230 pm to avoid the crowds.

Great dim sum place. Came here on Sunday noon is probably the busiest time of the week. Wait is 30 min or bit longer. Their food is super hot and freshly made. All menu have pictures and easy for you to order.

As a person born in Hong Kong and who grew up in Vancouver, Canada I would say this is the best dim sum place I've eaten at since I moved to SoCal. All the once-popular spots in 626 like Elite and Sea Harbor have faded away from their glory. This place has great value and great tasting food. Their milk tea is top notch and I just tried their pineapple "bo lo" custard bun (which I never usually get) and it actually has bits of pineapple in it. Only high end dim sum places in hk would actually go that extra step. You really can't go wrong with anything here. If you decide to venture into something different, we like to get their Singaporean stir fried vermicelli. I hope they incorporate some hk cafe style items in the future (baked pork chop/Portuguese chicken rice).

The shrimp dishes were great, didn't quite enjoy the pork ones. Overall, the food was decent, the service was prompt, and the price was reasonable. Will surely revisit this restaurant again.

First timer here! We got this confused with the other Chinese Sam Woo restaurant! The service was really quick right when we stepped in. Formal yet casual vibes in here. We loved the pork buns because of the sweet & soft pandesal (bread). It really complimented the bbq pork inside, the meat was really tender! Now the shiu mai.. they were huge!! It also had pieces of shrimp inside which were real tasty! Lastly we kept our tummies warm by ordering a hot savory congee soup! Ugh this was my first time trying the century egg inside the rice porridge typa thing. ITS ACTUALLY AMAZING?? The flavors go so well together. These 3 dishes were definitely enough to get us full.

My dad's friend recommended this place for dim sum. HE WAS RIGHT. Food was delicious all around. Favorite new dimsum place!

Went here Saturday night, got seated and no one ever came back to acknowledge us or even give us any water for 20 min. Me and my friend were waiting on someone to come by and felt we didnt have to be the ones to have to flag someone down. Wasnt even a busy night, there were more than enough servers to come check on us. After a while, we decided to just leave. I'm leaving this review because I want the restaurant to hold their employees accountable to a higher standard because this service was unacceptable.

I really enjoyed my dim sum dinner here! We ate early around 5pm and there was no waiting for a table yet. The food came out relatively quickly and very warm. Tea was great! I'd order all these things again. Service was very friendly and quick.

Food is excellent as always. The service is hit or miss. Sometimes they're quick and at times feel ignored. But the food makes up for it. We come here in large groups about 3x a year.
