Thoughts:
Came here with our great friend Diana (and her friend), really to chat it up! We have come here several times, mostly with my parents because they love it a lot more than Pearl. Food is decent, service is great (we sat there for a long time and they refilled our tea many times), value is good depending on what you order, but the presentation was really not to their excellent standard of the regular (dinner) menu – that’s really strange and disappointing. Decor is modern and fresh and bright! Also love that you can make reservations instead of having to wait in a long crowded line (like most dim sum places). A lot of Chinese people also eating here, so you know the food quality is legit.
