This place is legit. Authentic and great taste. Every dish we tried was a hit, especially the beef chow fun and shrimp rice noodles. Pretty clean relative to other Chinese places. I think it's the best Chinese restaurant in the area after trying many. All day dim sum. Easy parking. Tea was good. Service is fine.
I had dinner here on a Saturday night, and the restaurant filled up incredibly fast. It gets busy quickly, and once it’s full, it can get pretty loud. If you’re looking for dim sum on a Saturday evening, this is a great choice. They also have plenty of other delicious dishes beyond the dim sum. My favorite was the walnut shrimp, which was excellent. I also really enjoyed the beef and noodle dish. Every dim sum item I tried was good. Overall, I really liked this restaurant. The food is delicious, and it’s an especially great value when you come with a larger group and order family-style so everyone can share.
One of the best roast duck I've had. Jasmine rice and choy-sum was also on point. Fast, friendly service at a reasonable price. Chongee and black bean spare ribs were also excellent.
Taking everything into consideration, our dim sum experience here was good. Leave it to our compatriots from Guangdong; they have the ability to turn any restaurant, anywhere on earth, into an old Hong Kong-style dim sum eatery. The atmosphere was quite noisy, with crowds waiting in the cramped space left over from packing tables into a room clearly not meant for them. Just like your standard run of the mill Hong Kong dim sum eatery. As for the food, the dishes were pretty tasty. Everything we tried was above average for Honolulu, though more or less average or slightly below average when compared to the dim sum scene in Los Angeles, a 3/star at best. The service was friendly and quick, and the seating area was tight and noisy—no surprises there.
Our foodie group held our annual lunar new year gathering of 33 people - 11 per table, which was too tight but that was our fault for not capping the guest count. The staff was very helpful and accommodating, and everyone thought our set menu selection ($50 per person) was excellent. By the final dishes, though, we were too stuffed to really eat it all. BTW, they serve the rice and veggies toward the end, so if you want those served earlier in the course, you should request that. Parking is a bit of an issue - spots are limited in the lot, so come early before the dining rush if you want to snag one.
