Really good dim sum but unlike the cart service get as you want type of usual dim sum I’ve had in other cities and places like NYC and London Chinatown. But absolutely delicious. They won’t let you order twice which was kind of annoying, so be aware you need to order what you want upfront..it did take a while to come out but everything was nice and I will definitely be back! Two stars for the abrupt service and two stars for the very dark atmosphere with menus with tiny print. Despite all this the food was great! I do recommend but be aware of those aspects before you go.

I don’t generally leave reviews, let alone bad ones. I work in the service industry so I want to warn guests.I’m doing this so there’s a more recent update on the service and quality compared to the 5 star reviewsThis restaurant unfortunately has a very serious service problem.We left hungry. Waited 45 minutes for our first dish to come out.They did not allow us to even order some of the other dishes because they said it would take too long.In the service industry, when there is an understaffing problem, there are other ways to solve management issues than accepting everyone and making guests wait an hour for food. We arrived when the restaurant opened.It looks like this isn’t a recent issue. It’s been happening for months so they have had MONTHS to solve this issue.******Do not go here if you can’t afford to wait 1 hour for food.*******They were doing all the takeout orders before anyone in the restaurant got food on the table.Other notes- Food portions are tiny. One bite for some of the dishes- Waited an hour for food, just as all the other guests- Begged us not to order some of the dishes because they would take too long to makeGood notes- The food is ok, 3/5 stars a bit too salty and oily for my preference

Great authentic dim sum, and: available all day! Chicken feet, buns, steamed dumplings: all the classics.

My first experience was good, but my second experience was horrible cause I waited 50 min for my order instead of 15-20 min as the waiter told us. And as a result beef pancakes are so salty that just impossible to eat. I liked only sweet buns. Sad to say it but I waisted my time and money.

My kids live nearby and whenever i come visit from Boston i beg to come here. The owner is so nice and the food is delicious. I will always come and eat here when im in Durham. My favorites are the chile dumplings, the crab Rangoon the scallion dumplings and the noodle crepe with the shrimp.

Really good dim sum, everything was really fresh. There are no carts you just order from a menu and they bring it out freshly made. We also got the young chow fried rice to go with our dim sum and that was well made except they didn't put any roasted pork in it. I've eaten a lot of dim sum, the portions are smaller than what I'm used too. Everything tasted great but just in a smaller size. Definitely worth a trip back.

Ordered for pickup and it was ready 15 mins early! So so delicious and such nice people.
The little girl waitress was very nice and competent. The food came fast and tasted great, no problems on my end. Atmosphere was friendly, and the music was great as well!

I have been here many times now and have never had anything short of an excellent experience in terms of both service and food. The ordering process is efficient, staff is friendly, and every time I try a new dish I find a new favorite. Personal recommendations are the creamy egg buns, Fujian style braised pork noodles, and any of the red chili wontons.

***FOOD: honestly 2.5 stars. Please don't tell me this is the best dim sum Raleigh has to offer. It was lacking on so many levels - taste presentation authenticity. Haw gaw- skin too thick, so little filling & where's the shrimp?; Soup dumplings & potsticker dumplings - OK but filling was not very tasty, porridge - ho hum; radish cake- gluey tasteless. Truth is will probably go back for lack of option elsewhere if have a craving, but definitely have had better ***COST (OUT OF 4$) $$ ***DÉCOR: think it use to be an Irish pub /bar of some kind converted. No real Asian theme decor ***SERVICE: slow food in coming. Owner server was nice. ***RECOMMEND: sort of RECOMMEND if you have that craving.
Got food, decent pricing!
