Authentic Cantonese Chinese cuisine . Soy sauce chicken and egg yolks shrimp are highly recommended. Very tasty. Could provide bigger portions for the price. Servers are very professional and kind.

Better than average dim sum and good service but terrible acoustics. I could barely hear other people at my own table and I felt like I was shouting.

Food here was nice. The service could've been better but in my opinion they were busy so it's fine. The place was tight but not squished, then atmosphere just felt like a clean place.

Dirty, dirty , dirty. I was afraid to even eat. I'm not sure how the health department hasn't closed them down.

Perfect in every way! Just like NYC Chinatown. Delicious food, fast service. Best around!

Had lunch out with my family on Lunar New Year for the first time. I’ve heard great things. Food was very delicious, but the staff seemed to want nothing to do with us. We never got menus without having to ask first. They handed us one menu for three people. We asked for more and they gave us only one. I’ve never felt this way at a Chinese restaurant, or any restaurant for that matter. Staff ignored us the whole time, had to ask for drinks and utensils multiple times, while everyone around us got everything immediately. One waitress came over with utensils, then walked away with them without saying anything. Our food dishes came out one at a time, 20 minutes apart. My dish didn’t even come with white rice, it was just a bowl of tofu and sauce - I had to ask for that and they seemed very bothered. We also ordered extra egg rolls, and one waitress came over to us to give it to us and another tried to take it away! I don’t know if there’s a language barrier, but we remained polite. We should be able to effectively communicate with people who are serving us food. (Allergies are a huge risk, you should be able to communicate better!) The purpose of going out to eat is to have a great waitstaff, great restaurant environment, and WONDERFUL SERVICE!! Please do better

Went for Chinese New Year yesterday with my Mom who got Food Poisoning from the fried flounder. It must have been floating in the tank as we have seen many times yet she wanted it. They were very busy & our waitress was RUDE! Mom asked for sugar for her Tea & was hushed. Roast pork fried rice had no pork. Waitress said pick something else. We said why? Are u out of pork? No I can't go in kitchen too busy. Forgot the egg rolls. Crazy!!!!!

Love coming here for dim sum since there aren't many in the area. They have all the classic dim sum dishes, and the dining area is spacious and comfortable. It is a bit pricey, but the food is good especially if you're ordering their main dinner items. They're specialty is Cantonese style dishes, so I would probably stay away from their "take-out" type offerings.Parking: There's a larger parking lot behind the building. The spots in front of the building tend to be full most of the time.

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants outside of Chinatown in NYC. They offer dim sum on weekends and a nice affordable lunch menu during the week. My favorites are the fried flounder, beef chow fun and any pan fried noodles. Best bao buns on weekends, steamed and baked.

Food is great. But salty.

Excellent meal. All the food was very delicious. Loved the chicken and string beans and the salt and pepper prawns. Didn’t put a photo but loved the egg rolls and spring rolls.

After I moved and sunny palace closed, it was hard to find a decent dim sum place around. Until my BIL introduced me to this place. I try to go early before the crowd comes in so me and the kids are in / out. Food is good, service is good for dim sum and it's a pretty decent place. Although I do avoid the bathroom at all costs
