Food is good. Our server was not very knowledgeable. On a previous visit, our server suggested some things I would never have tried that turned out to be delicious. This time, we chose what looked good, but not as interesting. The atmosphere is fun though.

Lovely ambiance!! I requested ,on Open Table a window view for a table of 10. We got that in a private room. This being a birthday lunch, the privacy was wonderful!!! The food was delicious and served immediately after we were seated! This because we were the first round. Our reservation was 11:00; we were asked if we could vacate the room by 12:30. That was fine since since we were served so quickly (yet courteously). Peking Duck with buns..superb! All other dim sum items outstanding and authentic. Suggestion: If you have a large party of 10 or more, go early!!! The restaurant was bustling with every table occupied by 11:00 that morning!

We had a great time. Food was amazing and reasonably priced for quality and quantity. Service left a bit to be desired, such as asking for things twice and got some sass for asking for a coat check when at the table and not the front desk (I would assume a restaurant of this caliber would offer a coat check when we walk in). Otherwise everything was great!
