We had 7 different dim sum choices. All served hot and fresh. The rose tea was also good.

Highly recommend green beans with XO sauce and the shrimp and pork shaomai (use the hot sauce with it, even better). Pan fried mushroom buns and chashao bao (bbq pork) buns were pretty good too. Found some big chunks of pork fat in the xiao long tang bao (pork soup dumplings), but otherwise they were pretty good. Sort of funny that they put them in little tinfoil cups, but I suppose it helps people with bad chopstick skills also get to sip the soup inside the dumplings;-)
Decent little dim sum shop on the edge of North Beach. Quick service and traditional mark the menu with your order. I loved the har gow there. The XLB dumplings were okay, the tin cups tend to tear the skin and the dumplings were not consistent. Slightly expensive for what you are getting in terms of quality. I prefer China Live to here for quick dim sum, but this is easy to walk to and fund versus some of the other dim sum places nearby.Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options here

Spinach dumplings was quite bad and hot and sour soup was sweet and too sour. Would definitely not go here again.

Everything was fresh and delicious. Fourth or fifth time and it gets better each time. The owner is young and creative, enthusiastic about the dishes and offers advice if asked. Highly recommended for their dim sum as well as dishes. We had tea (large selection) and while we did not drink alcohol this time, they have a full bar with cocktails.
love the garlic noodles so much, dimsums and onion pancakes are alright

The food here is insanely good. In my opinion, both of the chow Lo mein and the garlic noodles are some of the best. They are both well seasoned dishes that are served in large portions. I also love loved the pork spring rolls that they served here. It was just made so well. The dumplings are okay, but everything else is better.

On Saturday I came here for lunch with my husband, our baby and a friend of us. I booked few days in advance just to be sure to have a table. The menu is very rich speaking of choices! I don't eat pork, so I chose plates with fish like the shrimp dumplings and the chow mein with seafood.I don't remember what my husband and friends get, but for sure something with pork.They also get the dumpling with shrimps and chives (very good) and the onions toast (just ok for me). The chow mein was a very big portion and I really liked them. Our friends is Asian and she said the food was good, but not perfect (for example the dumpling pasta usually is thinner). For me everything was good, but maybe speaking of dumplings, I preferred other places. The ambience was nice and quiet.
