Dim Sum Place

Luca Garlati 3 months ago

Very small, very cute place, definately family owned. Ordered buns and dumplings, took about 10 minutes, and the owner apologized several times for the wait. Food is very clearly handmade, and VERY good. Most notably, it actually has filling! The shrimp dumplings and buns really standing out. I will be coming back.

Everything we ordered was delicious and will come back. You order on a tablet inside the restaurant. We waited about 15 minutes for our food and that was fine. The food seemed handmade and not manufactured, as another poster said. They use boxes with holes in it so the steam escapes and stuck a cute dim sum sticker on them. The holes in the boxes kept our food from getting soggy. The skin of the shrimp and chive was steamed just right. I really loved the pan fried pork and corn cake. This is my first time trying spare ribs w/rice noodle roll (豆豉排骨腸粉) and I also loved this dish. The customers mostly ordered take out, but they do have a nice dining area and a couple of tables outside. The food was enough to feed my two teenage children and me. We wish the business much success!

Solid dim sum place. Flavors are good but feels manufactured. It cost 2-2.5x to eat out at a place with table service these days so I’m not going to be too fussed if a place is not pulling out all the stops esp not at these prices. This place is great to bring home for takeout or picnic. Great to grab and go for later event days at the library or San Carlos downtown events. We ordered the following (names not exact since its from memory) -pork buns -shrimp dumpling -pork dumpling: kid’s favorite. -fried glutinous rice pork dumpling -eggrolls -rice rolls with pork ribs -lotus leaf rice You can tell the ingredient quality is really good compared to those steamy takeout places with the open windows, large billowy steam baskets, and peeps behind the counter. The pork is not gamey. Shrimp tastes and feels fresh. Rly appreciate that they fry fried items to order, too. Overall, I’ve liked it. I’d get it again if the kid wants dim sum :) thanks for putting stickers on the boxes. We kept them!

It's an unusual eatery, so come with the right expectations. Example: bring your own water. It's a go-to spot so there's no tap water available, just bottled water and other drinks for sale, and all food is served on disposable plates and bowls. This was disappointing since this restaurant is in a lovely sunny location with indoor and outdoor seating, and it would be so nice to enjoy the meal in the space with the accompaniments to make the experience just a touch more comfortable. I liked the wonton soup which was really good and comes with veggies, which I appreciated because there aren't a lot of veggies on the menu otherwise. That said, it's a soft opening and the menu is pretty limited. If I come here again, I'd get the wonton soup again, due to the limited menu options, and pair it with dimsum on the side. The shrimp dumplings are better than the pork soup dumplings.

Went there becuase some clowns gave it a 5 star review. Barely a restaurant with food truck utensils and no condiments: owner could have bought the utensils and other restaurant supplies from Costco. Very limited menu. The 5 star reviewers had 0 taste.
