Tiffany is amazing hostess and gives great suggestions for dishes to order. One of the best original places to go one block west of China town.

When it comes to dim sum I’m always looking for places that honor the classics but also surprise and delight. This place did both. Highly recommend the matcha tea balls which I’ve never had at any other place and were the perfect level of crispy chewy and sweet!

Delicious dim sum! This is one of my go to places for weekend dim sum. They just renovated so it feels modern and clean. Lots of vegetarian options too!
Lai Hong Lounge combines tradition, innovation, and a touch of mystery. Whether you’re a dim sum aficionado or a curious food explorer, this spot won’t disappoint. The Dim Sum menu boasts all the classic items, exceptionally well and delicious. The dinner menu, from Peking duck with buns, soul-warming soup, the Dan Li Seafood Clay Pot (spicy alert!), and the lightly fried seabass with shredded green onions and what have you, not to mention fresh oysters, flavorful lily bulb soup and the fresh herbal Jello dessert! Just the Baked BBQ Pork Buns—a sweet-crusted bun stuffed with BBQ goodness worth every mile you drive into the city. BTW- No worries about communication with the staff or struggling with your Google translate app! the friendly manager ensures a pleasant experience. (Kaz – 2023)

Made a reservation for a large party. They saved us the private room. Service was attentive. Food was decent. They was an automatic 20% service fee for the private room. However, the prices were very reasonable. Would I go again? Sure. But will probably pass on the private room.

The food was fresh and prices were reasonable. This is a favorite dimsum place so far.
