After hearing so many positive things about Aberdeen Seafood & Dim Sum, I was expecting a standout meal, but I left disappointed. The food wasn't bad--it was simply mediocre and underwhelming. The biggest issue was that several dishes were underseasoned and lacked the bold flavors I expect from a good Cantonese restaurant. The Yang Chow fried rice was especially bland and needed more seasoning. The har gow and several of the dim sum items also fell short of expectations. The steamed spare ribs and beef chow fun were okay but nothing memorable. The salt and pepper shrimp was probably the highlight of the meal, but it wasn't unique or better than what I've had at many other Chinese restaurants. Overall, the food was decent, but considering the restaurant's reputation, I expected much more. I don't regret trying it, but I wouldn't make a special trip back. read more

So... we traveled 1200 miles to have wonderful Chinese Food. The Aberdeen, located off the lobby of the White Plains Residence Inn, is known for its dim sum - which is excellent. However, the rest of the broad and deep menu is excellent as well. The rich Sweet Corn Chicken Soup is sweet, thick (but not gummy) and quite tasty. The pan fried dumplings were outstanding. They were perfectly cooked and well stuffed with minced pork and veggies. The Honey Walnut Shrimp were amazing - plump and perfectly dressed. Finally, the Sesame Chicken was amazing. Perfectly cooked but the best thing is that the chicken was moist, rich and flavorful. So, if we're ever back in White Plains, you know where we'll be dining. read more

Aberdeen If you ever find yourself in White Plains, NY, make sure that you go to the Marriott Residence Inn. Walk into the lobby, make a left and find the big brass door. Behind it is, by reputation, one of the best dim sum restaurants ever. The decor may be basic but the menu is broad and offers too many wonderful sounding choices. Friendly, helpful servers take your drink order and there's a QR code you can use to get your food but they have physical menus and will take your order to make things easier. We opted for a more traditional meal. The chicken corn soup had a rich broth and was loaded with chicken, corn and egg. The pan fried pork dumplings were crispy and delicious. The sesame chicken had a rich, sweet, sticky sauce on perfectly cooked chicken. The honey walnut shrimp were a delight. The portions are generous and more than enough to share. The quality and freshness of the ingredients are probably the reason for the slightly higher prices. read more

Pleasantly surprised to discover that the restaurant inside my hotel (the Marriott Residence Inn) was actually a solid dim sum spot! I stopped by around 1:30-2pm on a Sunday and was seated immediately with no wait. Service was quick and efficient throughout the meal. I also liked that each table had a QR code so you can either order online yourself or through the server. Having both options is very convenient and presumably a major time-saver during their busier periods. The food came out promptly, and as always with dim sum, my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. I completely overordered, but honestly, no regrets because the leftovers made a great dinner later that night. A highlight for me was that they offered sweet silken tofu, which can surprisingly be hard to find. The tofu itself was silky and satisfying, though I personally wish the syrup had been just a touch sweeter, however, the ginger flavor came through wonderfully. It was also served closer to room temperature, which caught me off guard since I was expecting it chilled, but that may just come down to personal preference. Favorites from the meal: * Stuffed Eggplant -- very tasty * Shrimp Noodle Crepes -- one of my go-to dim sum dishes, so I was thrilled to see it on the menu * Salt & Pepper Squid -- definitely recommend; great flavor Overall, a really enjoyable and convenient dim sum experience, especially for a restaurant tucked inside a hotel lobby. I'd happily return the next time I'm in town for a meeting. read more

Aberdeen was the first restaurant I tried after moving to Westchester, and it set the bar high. From the tea to the atmosphere, it instantly reminded me of my trip to Hong Kong--comforting, authentic, and elevated. I ordered the shrimp rolls, meatless turnip cake, hot & sour soup, veggie dumplings, chive dumplings, and (very ambitiously) General Tso's chicken. Every dish was delicious, but the chive dumplings were the standout--perfect texture, fresh flavor, and not heavy at all. I could've easily ordered more. The hot & sour soup was comforting, and everything felt well-balanced rather than greasy. I was too full to fully enjoy the General Tso's, but even a few bites were great. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and they validate parking (I thought it would be free, but it ended up being a reduced rate, which is still a great perk). read more

The Real Deal for Dim Sum in Westchester. If you're looking for white tablecloths and a fancy vibe, Aberdeen Seafood & Dim Sum probably isn't your spot. The decor is basic, and it's tucked inside the Marriott Residence Inn--you literally have to walk through the hotel lobby, hang a left, and look for the massive brass door. But if you're here for the food? You're in the right place. I've eaten my way through a ton of dim sum spots in NYC, and honestly, Aberdeen holds its own against all of them. The quality and freshness of the ingredients are just on another level. You aren't going to run into those annoying bits of rubbery cartilage or bone that ruin a good dumpling; everything is clean, fresh, and handmade daily. I'm actually drooling a bit just thinking about my last visit. Pro-Tips for Your Visit: * Timing is everything: Weekends are absolute chaos with lines out the door. If you can swing a weekday, do it--you'll walk right in. * The Waitlist: If there is a crowd, find the QR code near the entrance to jump in the digital queue. * Parking: It's all metered street parking. Make sure you have the Park White Plains app ready to go on your phone. * How to Order: The staff handles your drinks, but you'll use the QR code at your table to put in your food order. That said, the servers are still happy to answer questions if you're unsure about a dish. What to Order (and What to Skip) The Shrimp Noodle Crepe, Har Gaw, and both the Pork and Seafood Shui Mai are non-negotiables. I also highly recommend the Ham Sui Gok, Bean Curd Skin Roll, and the Steam Pork Buns. If you need some greens, the Chinese Broccoli is the way to go. One warning: Skip the soup dumplings. They're a bit small and lack that hit of broth you'd expect. If you're craving XLB, you're better off heading to Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao. Overall, Aberdeen is easily the best dim sum in Westchester and Fairfield counties. It's all about the flavor and texture here--the ambiance is an afterthought, and that's perfectly fine by me. read more

Aberdeen - Shrimp Noodle Crepes - Dim Sum Near Me - White Plains, New York

This visit was takeout at the request of our daughter, but it still reinforced why this spot has built such a strong reputation locally. Conveniently located next to the White Plains Marriott with access through the lobby, parking is manageable between street options and the nearby Barker Avenue lot. We ordered a wide assortment to share, including multiple dim sum selections, beef with broccoli, chicken with vegetables, Kung Po shrimp, and pork dumplings. The variety made for a well-rounded meal, with something for everyone. Portions were generous and easily fed the table without feeling like we needed more. The food consistently delivers, and it's easy to see why they've been recognized multiple times for their dim sum. Even as takeout, everything held up well and maintained its flavor and texture. Looking forward to dining in next time to get the full experience, but this remains a reliable go-to for quality dim sum in the area. read more

One of the only dim sum spots in Westchester that I've found so far and it didn't disappoint! It was authentic and delicious but the only thing that holds me back from going often would be the prices. They are definitely quite steep so it's a spot I would only come for special occasions. Other than that, I was overjoyed to finally have comforting and familiar dishes in this area where it's hard to find authentic Chinese food that isn't Chinese American takeout. They had great variety and delicious flavors in my opinion. read more

Aberdeen - Dim Sum Near Me - White Plains, New York

Decent dim sum, and very busy on weekends and holidays. The shrimp siu mai was really nice, with a lot of fish roe eggs on the top, and plump shrimps in the middle. The eggplant with shrimp inside was nicely fried on both sides; maybe a bit too much corn starch topping. The fried turnip cakes needed more turnip (and turnip flavor), but the pan-fry technique was solid, not having too much oil seep into the cakes. The har gow was decent, but maybe the skin was a bit too soft. The vegetable dumpling was quite good this time, maybe an improvement over my previous notes. The filling was nice inside, and the outside shell was mixed with some veggie for the greenish color. The tripe was a bit tough, though the smaller bits passed muster. read more

I love this place and it is always a treat. I have gone twice and this was my second time. I will definitely come more frequently. I order dim sum, so the pork soup dumplings, shumai chives dumplings and a wonton soup. So I loved the pork soup dumplings really good. The shumai was also really good and the chives dumplings had a whole shrimp in them. I loved all the items except the wonton soup. The wonton soup had a too much pepper and if it was not pepper it was a flavor, I have never had before. The soup was not bad just that particular flavor overwhelmed it. I would still order the soup because I like wonton soup but it is not the best I have had. The other items were really good and I do look forward to trying other items off the menu. My coworker liked her food a lot. read more

This had been on my list of places to check out so i'm glad we finally got to go. Food: we tried several dim sum and some main entrees. The dim sum dishes were overall really good. My fave was the pork shu mai which were very flavorful and juicy. The entrees (beef over crispy noodles and crispy chicken w/ fried garlic) were good but not amazing. Service was great. They are quick and attentive. Price: a bit expensive for dim sum. Each dim sum dish was around $7-8 and by the end of the evening, our check came out to $140 (including tax and tip) for 3 people. We were full and satisfied but dayum.. that was expensive. Dim Sum: if you're looking for the traditional dim sum experience, just be warned that at least when we went for dinner, they didn't do the dim sum in carts like they do in chinatown. I don't know if they do that during earlier hours. Tip: you can park in the paid parking lot to the LEFT side of the restaurant/hotel building. take you ticket inside and the restaurant will validate your parking up to 3hrs so that it will be free! Overall, if you're looking for good dim sum and chinese food in the Westchester area, this place is solid. However, just expect to be paying more than a dim sum spot down in chinatown in NYC. read more

The three of us stopped in for Lunch. No Lunch menu! We ordered a couple of soups, two orders of dumplings, one entree/shredded pork in garlic sauce + one soft drink. All were good, not great. Bill not including tip = $80+ Poor value. We found no reason to return. read more

Had a nice dinner here overall. They advertised the kitchen closes 30 minutes before they close, so 9 on a Saturday night. But when I got there with my daughters at around 8:20, I felt like they were annoyed when we were there so late. Got the yangzhou fried rice and it was great. The mushy chicken was very good. The dumplings were good, but I felt four dumplings for the price wasn't worth it. I would've appreciated another dumpling or a little less money. I do not like how when the gratuity gets printed on the bill the suggested or two that I mean, it comes after the tax. They shouldn't be recommending gratuity on the tax. An overall it's a very pretty restaurant. Nice atmosphere read more

I had only been here a few years ago and it is totally different now. When I went years ago, I really wasn't impressed for all the hype and was disappointed. This time was totally the opposite. The place is lovely inside and the waitstaff are kind, courteous and efficient. I love how you order on your phone by scanning the QR code and the food starts coming out. OMG every dim sum we split was fantastic, including all the dumplings. We also ordered a few dishes to share for the table and each one was flavorful and tasty. We had a crispy fish dish, a shrimp dish, some fantastic Chinese broccoli as well as a few others. Someone I was with wanted a special noodle dish with shrimp and they made it for him. I cannot wait to return to try more dishes and more Dim Sum. This is by far the most unique and authentic Cantonese Chinese restaurant in Westchester. I was able to park on the street for free because it was Sunday - someone said you can park in the hotel and get the parking validated. If you have never been before, it's a little strange as the restaurant is attached to the hotel, simply enter into the main lobby and make a left. This is not your typical hotel restaurant - that's for sure! The prices are also very fair for the quality and size of the portions. If you enjoy Chinese Food - going to Aberdeen is a must! read more

One of the few places in the area you can get dim sum, so it's usually pretty full for dim sum, but depending on the weekend, may still have a couple open tables when you arrive, so you can still be seated without a wait. You scan a QR code on the back of your table number sign and order from your phone. Best dim sum options: - Seafood Siu Mai (you can taste the white pepper) - XO Turnip Cake (not a lot of XO flavor, more salt & pepper, but delicious still) Ok: - Bean Curd Skin Roll - Shrimp Noodle Crepes (Cheung Fun) - Taro Puff - Sautéed Sticky Rice - Under "Appetizers": Salt & Pepper Squid (we liked that there was a small plate size for dim sum) Skip: - Pan Fried Chive Dumpling w/ Shrimp (much too doughy, not crispy, heavily chive/not enough shrimp, chive is mushy/overcooked) - Snow Pea Leaf & Shrimp Dumpling read more

A Hidden Dim Sum Gem: One of White Plains' Best-Kept Secrets! This place is a definite sleeper. In fact, if I hadn't been shown this spot by someone in the know, I would have never even known it existed! Tucked away in the lobby of the Marriott Residence Inn in White Plains, you'll find Aberdeen behind a door that looks like it belongs to an old-school speakeasy. It is a fantastic find for anyone who loves high-quality dim sum but hates battling the massive crowds usually associated with it. Here is why it's worth seeking out: The Atmosphere: It is super quiet and much less traveled than other spots in the area. If you want a peaceful meal without the "fuss," this is your place. The Experience: It's a very no-nonsense vibe. They don't rely on flashy decor because the focus is exactly where it should be: on the fresh, traditional dim sum. The Food: Everything was delicious and clearly made with care. If you're looking for an under-the-radar spot with great food and a calm environment, Aberdeen is a must-visit. Just look for that "secret" door in the Marriott lobby! read more

The food has gotten extremely expensive. Dim sum experience is supposed to be quick, walk-in, get a table, eat, go. They've now abandoned their Asian customer base. Requiring reservations and catering to the social media influenced crowd. What dim sum restaurant requires reservations?! Worst of all, there isn't even a place to make a reservation on their website. This loyal customer is done with this place. read more

Always great selection of dim sum and great service. Closest you will come to Chinatown quality in Westchester. (I do miss the carts!) My family has been coming here for decades! Great place to have a big gathering. read more

That golden entrance door... We've had better Chinese, but we like that this place is in the lobby of a hotel. Tables and chairs and dining area are reminiscent of a budget dining hall, and we also don't like that you absolutely MUST use a QR code to order. We like to unplug sometimes... Steamed pork dumplings had too much dough. Scallion/Shrimp fried dumpling was decent. My wife loved her won-ton soup, but it was $4.50 for a tiny bowl. May give another try. read more

Aberdeen - Do you know Jack Burton? - Dim Sum Near Me - White Plains, New York

We have been coming here for years. Dim Sum fresh and delicious and various and the staff is attentive.

Aberdeen is our go-to place for our big family Chinese celebrations, including Chinese New Years. It's the best chinese restaurant in the area, which the widest array of options. We have members of the group that can't eat spicy food, so Aberdeen is the only place we can go to (that I know of). O'Mandarin and Fantasy Cuisine are other favorites, but they don't have any or limited non-spicy dishes. I've seen other negative comments. We're of Chinese descent and have come here multiple times with up to 3 families, multi-generational from boomers to millennials, and everyone enjoyed the food. You can have a nice big group here and reservations make it easy. We've had about 10 people. We also had a work anniversary dinner here for 10-12, which was wonderful (the place was chosen by a Taiwanese foodie). Service is good. Decor is a little old, but it's pleasant enough. Aberdeen is different from many of those noisy, busy restaurants, including buffets and AYCE's. I love that this place is nice and quiet, so people can relax, talk and have conversations. Note, these are not light meals! Our favorites are Peking pork chops, sesame chicken, noodles with mushrooms, pan fried beef chow mein , Peking duck, shrimp with mayonnaise, any vegetable, and lobster. The kung pow tofu was surprisingly delicious with small pieces of crisp tofu, soft in the middle. We ordered this dish for the vegan in our family. We haven't had dim-sum for a while, but we've heard from others that it's good and fresh. You can drive into NYC or Flushing, pay the tolls and deal with the traffic, but if you want good chinese food with a nice, quiet, pleasant ambiance, this is the place. The location is also central for those from Rockland, CT, Westchester. Yes, it's a little more expensive, but it's worth it. read more

The Basics: Aberdeen is a Chinese food restaurant which services dim sum in the White Plains area. It is located off of the lobby of a Residence Inn hotel. I have always enjoyed the dim sum at Aberdeen, and have experienced no wait times and great service during my visits. Things I like: All of the dim sum I have tried at Aberdeen has tasted fresh and delicious. Some of my favorite items I have tried are the Shrimp Dumplings, Steamed Roast Pork Buns, and the sweet Pineapple Buns. The service is quick, and you order your selections from a QR code at the table. Things I didn't like: Nothing. I have always enjoyed my visits to Aberdeen. Overall, great dim sum in the White Plains area! read more

Get the salt and pepper squid. Best in Westchester!! Wait staff is always so accommodating and the place is clean.

Amazing!! Love Aberdeen. I came here for the soup dumplings and would highly recommend this spot! We had hot tea, scallion pancakes, and 3 orders of soup dumplings. The food was delicious and very filling If you're looking for the best soup dumplings in the area, I'd recommend coming to Aberdeen. It's one of the highest rated places in the area and it's conveniently located on the first floor of the Marriott. I'm giving them four stars because there were many open tables and they made us wait 10-15 minutes for one. Post Covid, you need to order your food from your phone. And there is very limited contact with servers. If you need anything you need to order with a QR code located at each table... and from your phone. I can't wait to come back here again to try more of their options! read more

Been coming here for years for dim sum, but this time we came for dinner and it was good! If you're looking for solid, authentic Chinese food, this is a great spot. They stop serving dim sum at 7:30 so I was able to get my fave char siu bao as an app. One thing I don't love about coming here is the online ordering system, an unfortunate addition from Covid. You scan a code and are taken to the menu, you place your order online and wait for the food. If you have questions about the menu or need more tea or drinks you end up waiting awhile for a person to walk past- they have a lot fewer staff now that they don't have to use carts for dim sum anymore. Also beware if you're ordering dim sum, don't order everything at one time online. Order a few, wait a little bit then order the next couple and so on, otherwise everything comes all at once or close to it and then the food gets cold. read more

3 world and 4 local. I prefer dimsum that's made to order rather than carts so big thumbs up here, though felt like all steamed dimsum was not super fresh or maybe made on mass. However all fried or baked or regular menu items were super hot, fresh, and flavorful authentic Cantonese. We went to town on noodles and sampled both lo mein, chow fun, and chow mein. Great wok hei. All amazing. Soups and pan fried items were awesome. Was super busy on Father's Day so looking forward to going back when less busy. Staff was polite and attentive even though very stressed. Room was classic no frills. Would love to have this closer to me. read more

Came here for brunch with my family. The food was decent for outside of flushing or Chinatown. Each of the dim sum dishes came out piping hot and fresh. The ribs dish was okay not too thrilled about but the rice noodles were good and so were the hard gow, chives dumpling, sticky rice, chicken feet, soy sauce noodles, etc. Service was okay and ambiance was similar to other Chinese restaurants but not as noisy as other dim sum places. read more

We hadn't been here since before the pandemic. We prefer getting here right when they open on a weekend at 11:30am. We were a party of 7, so we made a reservation ahead of time. We were seated right away, despite our entire party not being present. The most notable change since before the pandemic is how you order. Each table now is given a QR code and one person can order via their phone for the whole table. Within minutes of pressing "enter" on my phone, the dishes started coming! The only dish that wasn't hot was the shrimp with the eggplant. Everything tasted just how we remembered it. We love the sticky rice, the steamed roast pork buns, the baked roast pork buns, and the vegetable pan fried noodles (not pictured). The only dishes that didn't come out quickly were the pork shumai & the seafood shumai. However, once we told a worker, it was immediately rectified. We left there absolutely stuffed!! read more

We were recommended this place by a friend who lives in Connecticut and drives all the way to White Plains to eat dim sum here! We made a reservation (had to call, no option to do this online) for a party of 4 around 6:00pm on a week night. We showed up early by about 30 minutes or so, and they attended to us without issue. They took our drink orders and then showed us how to order using their online system. Once food was ordered, it came out very quickly and was served with care. Although the majority of the ordering was done via the online system, there were still waiters around to answer questions and help. We mostly ordered a variety of dumplings, and then added a soy noodle dish and some scallion pancakes. Everything was amazing. The dumplings were tender, hot, and packed full of flavor. This is, by far, the best dim sum we have had in years, better than many places we've tried in Manhattan. The only thing I would say that Aberdeen could improve it its ambience, which is a bit dated and cold. To me, that's not worth removing a star because the food is incredible and the service is friendly, but it's something that might matter to other guests. read more

As I mentioned in my prior review, I hadn't been since 2019. Anyway, my GF moved to Westchester and wanted Chinese food, and there are way, way fewer options than around New Brunswick, NJ. O Mandarin is ok, and she wanted to go here instead. Basically, the place is exactly the same as it was in 2019, though maybe a bit dingier. Parking garage is still super tiny (but they do validate parking). That said we went during dinner on a Friday around 7 PM and it wasn't too crowded. Order some dim sum as well as a noodle dish. I liked it. GF liked it. Definitely still the best Chinese restaurant in Westchester but basically it and O Mandarin are the only Chinese restaurants in Westchester. I could see why someone would rate this place a 2 or a 3. But for Westchester it is a 4 or a 4.5. read more

Amazing dim sum that rivals anything in NYC and San Fran Bay Area. Great, fast service, high quality food and ingredients that you can taste. Minor: Soup dumplings not the best compared to others better known for xiao long bao. read more

I didn't love it. We didn't have a reservation and waited 40 minutes. There were a lot of people waiting in the lobby of the residence inn. I thought that was a good sign of a great meal worth waiting for. Sadly disappointed cuz it wasn't that good. Once we are seated, it took me a few minutes to realize we place our order online. Which is fine, just different than the usual paper and pencil style. I thought it was better this way, plus you can see how much the final bill will be, so I like this modern approach. I was surprised how quickly some of our dishes came out. The har gow shrimp dumplings tasted different than what I have been accustomed to the last 30 years of being a dim sum fan. The flavors of the shrimp dishes were slightly off. Not sure if their seafood wasn't fresh? I wish I knew what it was? I also got the shrimp and chive dumplings and it was super thick and gooey inside, not what I am used too. Again the flavor of the shrimp was a bit off??? And the chive filling mixed with rice flour was incredibly thick. The bean curd skin was absolutely delicious, super hot and perfectly balanced in flavor. I love how savory this dish is and it's one of my favorites. The roast pork buns were okay. They have never been a favorite but I was curious how they would taste here. Again it just didn't taste fresh for some reason. Im so used to hot freshly baked, and this wasn't that. The pork dumplings were absolutely delicious and fresh. They came out last though. We had to wait quite some time after we were done with the rest of dishes. The service was ok. When we asked about the dumplings. They said they were coming out shortly and we could see them walking out with pork dumplings for other tables and they kept passing us by. Finally when we asked one last time, they brought them out. The place was nothing special, old decor, needs some updating. I have become used to the newer dim sum restaurants with lots of seating and bigger spaces. Unfortunately it was not worth the wait. I've had way better dim sum. There were some dishes that went passed us that did look good and I am curious. I would try it one more time and order different dishes. read more

Custard bun, string beans garlic, fried rice, shrimp dumplings, mango lychee pudding was good. Food was great until we ate a taro puff. There was a metal Brillo looking piece in it. The crazy thing is i took half of puff cut that into 3 small pieces and still didn't see it. my mom ate it and spit it out. It was large and we all felt uneasy after that. They didn't charge us for it. But every dish that came out after that we were cutting it up to make sure nothing was in it. Unfortunate. read more

Even during a holiday weekend, The staff smiles and greets you like royalty. W didnt have reservations and the place was pretty packed, but the manager was not bothered and welcomed us. I have been here before many times, just never reviewed. Tonite I have to put the pen to the paper, so to speak. We had to wait a tad longer for food, but the hot tea was fine and the soups came fast, so hence you have dumplings, soup and water, cant be mad. LOL I had the Sesame Chicken. It is my fav at any Asian place. Tonite, they made it 5 star and beyond. The broccoli was super fresh and cooked perfectly. I wanted to lick the plate, but too many people were around lao. The place is always clean and the decor is simple yet effective for atmosphere. read more

Nice relaxing atmosphere & quick service. Enjoyed a few of the dim sum dumplings and General Tao's chicken. The juicy dumplings were the star. Will def be back for another round of dim sum. read more

We had a nice lunch here. Food was good, but it's a little bit difficult to order on your phone. I don't like the system they have here. There is nowhere to request water, or if you need a fork, or if somethings missing at the table. This is a real downfall to enjoying the meal. You're constantly on your phone ordering more or looking for someone to bring you something that you can't get on your phone. Anyway, we started with Hot and sour soup which was good. Next we had shrimp dumplings, roast pork buns, curry buns, bean paste buns, custard filled ones, and boneless pork. The best thing on the table by far was the shrimp shumai. Food was good, but some of the dumplings really needed a sauce to dip in. They were very bland. It was also very hard to share everything on this large round table. They really need to use the Lazy Susan method. This business could be so much better! read more

Great authentic Cantonese food. Very efficient and wonderful service. Aberdeen is like going to Chinatown in White Plains.

You enter through a random relatively unmarked solid metal door off to the side of a lobby in a Marriott -- once again proving that "hole in the wall" type places are often solid places to get delicious Chinese food. We showed up on Sunday shortly after they opened and it was a 1-hour wait. We walked around the area and came back shortly before the hour was up and seated promptly. Water and tea were also served as soon as we were seated. While push carts are nostalgic and a fun experience, I actually feel like I enjoyed their ordering system more - it was efficient and easy - you scan a QR code and order online. The service was attentive and quick. The dim sum arrived soon after ordering. We also ordered the salted fish and chicken fried rice, which did take a bit more time, presumably made to order. All the dim sum dishes were fantastic - some standouts included the mango pudding, seafood shui mai, fried shrimp ball. Mango pudding was smooth with exceptional mango flavor. The seafood shui mai and fried shrimp ball both featured a delightful texture with delicious seafood flavor. Other classics like shrimp cheung fun (rice noodle crepe) were well-executed. We also got the rice noodle crepe with fried dough (zhaliang), which was still delicious, but the fried dough didn't seem the freshest - a bit hard compared to the desired crispy/crunchy texture. read more

We arrived at 11:20am on a Sunday to find a line already. They opened at 11:30am and we were the last one to get first seating. Lucky! They re-arranged the interior since the last time we were here pre Covid. The place is clean, dim sum is delicious. And staff is very friendly. We always come back. Total bill was $107 including tip but we shared ~11 types of dim sums. read more
