Authentic Chinese Cantonese food. Not much on ambience, but the food is good and the staff are friendly.

Good authentic Cantonese food. Lots of Chinese immigrants eat here, which tells you everything you need to know. Go for dim sum lunch or dinner. Locals love the minute chicken cake noodle.

Very impressed by the dumplings in this unfussy and spacious dimsum restaurant. Xiao Long Bao was made fresh to order, and the barbecue pork buns (the white ones) were the best I've ever had. Also the red bean sesame balls were the largest I've ever seen, with excellent dough. We went right around when it opened and had no trouble getting a table for 3. Prices were shockingly reasonable as well - we ordered xiao long bao, har gow, siu mai, sesame balls, and baked barbecue pork buns and the total was around $30

Went here for dim sum and the food was good for the most part, but we didn't really know what we were eating because they just started handing us a bunch of food as soon as we sat down before we could even look at the menu. We had to tell them repeatedly to stop or else we would've ended up with way too much food.We recognized most of the dishes, but we still have no clue what three of them were and one of the unknown dishes was not very good so we didn't even finish it

Visited Hawaii for the first time from Canada. Was recommended by hotel we were staying at. Being part Cantonese myself I love authentic food and not westernized Asian food. Their dim sum was so good that we went twice in the same week! It was the freshest and most tasty ones we’ve ever had. Their service is not the best, place is not very organized but just for the food I would recommend! Always a good sign when you see lots of locals vs the touristy areas.

One of my favorite places for dim sum. On the smaller side and only one cart comes around but there's a dim sum and full menu to order off of and staff is friendly and attentive.Update: many years later and still a go to for me if I'm craving Chinese food. Their regular menu is better than their dim sum, the minute chicken noodles are just plain addicting!

The food is great here. It is a bit of a hole in the wall. Street parking only. The food is fresh and served hot. I recommend this place for dim sum to everyone I know. The occasional serve from a cart when it is busy.
