OK neighborhood restaurant for dim sum. Never as crowded as Fortune Palace on 20th Ave where this place gets a lot of the spillover of the impatient. Dim sum is ordered via pen and paper and comes out relatively quick. Have all the traditional items (har Kow, siumai, rice rolls) but nothing out of the ordinary or fusion. Pricing seems fair. Noodle plates are large. Service is friendly esp if you know Cantonese. Restaurant does seem a bit rundown. read more

My aunt came to visit on a weekday and so we decided to go here for lunch and to take advantage of their their lobster with e-noodle deal ($18) but ended up ordering a few other dishes and was pleasantly surprised how delicious their food were. When we arrived the waiter seated us immediately and was very pleasant. Asked us right away what tea would like and gave us menus to look at. Of course we ordered their lobster with noodles and for an extra lobster, the dish came out to $33. Not bad. We also ordered a few dim sum dishes and I have to say, all of their dim sum dishes were spot on. I love the chicken feet. It was tender, packed with flavor and I don't think they used color dye to make it red. That was definitely a plus. We also enjoy their tripe. It was tender, not chewy and also full of umami flavor. Their pork ribs was juicy, plump and not fatty either. Additionally, we ordered their fried stuffed tofu/pepper/eggplant dish and that too was so good. Love the taste of the fermented black bean sauce. Overall, I definitely recommend this restaurant. It's so good that I plan on visiting again soon so I can taste their other yummy dishes. My aunt and mom went and they too gave this place a thumbs up. read more

Food: The dim sum is just okay here. My go-to for dim sum is usually Fortune Palace on 20th Ave, but since the wait was too long, we ended up here. There are no carts here; you mark off which dim sum dishes you want on a paper menu and they bring it to you at your table. The dim sum was not steaming hot, which was disappointing. The quality and flavor was not as good as Fortune Palace either. It makes sense why this place didn't have a wait while Fortune Palace was packed and such a long wait for a table. We tried a variety of dim sum and nothing really stood out. The crispy rice noodle dish was probably the best thing in this meal. Perhaps their dinner food is better, but I won't be returning here for dim sum. Service: Service was very average. The staff didn't come to check in on us throughout the meal to see if we needed anything. We needed water and some sauce during the meal, but no one was around to ask. Ambiance: The restaurant is a good size and they have two levels with private rooms on the second floor. The place is good for both smaller and large groups. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for dim sum. read more

Came here the weekend following Lunar New Year. The nearby Fortune Palace restaurant was packed, so I came here instead and there was no wait at all for my party of 2. I've been here several times with my family in the past and it's not the best, but good enough that we would come back. Some dishes are better than others, but overall pretty decent. Out of the 5 dimsum dishes ordered this time, my favorite was the siu mai-- flavorful and meaty. The beef cherng fun (rice roll) and lo mai gai was good too. Service was good and our food came out quickly. When we sat down, literally 3 different ppl asked us what tea we wanted. read more

Food - 3.5/5 Came here on a Saturday for dim sum and ordered 5 dishes. The beef cherngfun was good, better than most; rice rolls were bouncy, the beef was seasoned well. Everything else was mediocre though. The eggplant with shrimp paste was okay, eggplant was slightly undercooked and not as flavorful. The sticky rice was also under seasoned but had everything you'd expect; the eggplant yolk, lap cherng and pork pieces. The radish cake was a little too starchy and didn't have much radish in it. The siu mai was actually really good; had a lot of filling and cooked well. Service - 4/5 Service was good, dimsum ladies were attentive but a little pushy and the waiters refilled our teapot frequently. Ambiance - 4/5 It is your typical dimsum spot; loud, crowded but that's what you typically get on a Saturday for dimsum. Restaurant was clean. read more

I dined at this restaurant with my in laws this past Sunday evening. We had a big group so we reserved a room. This was my first time dining here and it was nice. The service was good and fast. We started off with a fish soup which the service staff ladles into bowls for everyone. Then we ordered some seafood dishes. They were tasty and good quantity for the price. I recommend everyone to check out this place. read more

Came here a few Saturdays ago with family (in laws). 5 adults + 1 baby in high chair. It was rainy and busy day. Once seated, it took awhile for them to get the highchair as they had forgotten about us. Everything is ordered through paper. We check off or tally up the items we want and flag a server over to grab the order sheet. They don't give you another order sheet- you would have to ask if you want more food. It was so busy that they were not as attentive as we would have like. Had to flag servers down to get tea refills and remove empty dishes. They even took awhile to get our order sheet. All the rice rolls (except beef) came out so late that we thought they forgot and was about to ask for another order sheet. They had an interesting dish- red rice rolls with spring rolls. We got it for my vegetarian sister in law and it was actually good. The spring rolls were still crispy inside. Overall a typical dim sum place with a few interesting dishes. read more

I wanted to introduce my daughter to their lobster noodle lunch. After traveling from Manhattan the waiter pointed to the lobster tank that was devoid of lobsters. He said they ran out when I saw other people have the same dish. They want to entice you to order dim sum. I know they don't get the lobsters from the tank. There should be plenty in the kitchen. Will I go there again! HELL NO! read more

Food and service were great overall!! Go here regularly. It feels comfortable inside.

Came here for family dinner.. Food is pretty good & great service. Everything that we ordered was very tasty with good flavor. They have second floor private room. Plus they have elevator for elder to take if they can't walk up to the stairs. But the elevator is very slow. Overall, I would come back again for dinner. Good food with good price. read more

Our go-to authentic Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn! We come here for dim sum and dinner all the time! Great service and lots of seating available, with private rooms upstairs as well. We came last night for a family friend's birthday and ordered our favorites! We got the following and all come with a huge shareable portion! Steamed chicken feet: A classic Chinese dish that is also served during dim sum Pork chops: Seasoned wonderfully with lots of flavors! Fried super well with lots of crunch. Crispy chicken: Delicious and tasty, also comes with a sauce Veal chop: Cooked so tender and drenched in the BBQ sauce that is super sweet Pan fried flounder: Not pictured, but another classic. Super crunchy and flavorful, comes with soy sauce base Fried squid with cashews: Also not pictured, but a great starter. Fried perfectly and well seasoned House special fried rice: Delicious, comes with diced salted fish that adds a nice salty flavor Overall, we always recommend this place and come for all special dinners out with family! read more

I've dined here a couple of times before covid and there was really only one item that I loved while everything else was just ok. However, came here for outdoor dining the other day and I fell in love with the quality of the dimsum! I didn't order the usuals, so maybe those are still just ok Outdoor dining - we sat down before realizing that it's not theee best spot to socialize as it's directly underneath the D subway line so you'll be hearing a lot of rumbling. You do have to wait around a bit for service because it's busier inside and the waiter doesn't come out as often. My three must orders are: Baked Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun (aka pineapple liu sha bao): unsurprisingly, not a lot of dimsum restaurants have this on the menu, so I'm always eggstra eggcited when I do find it. It's super runny and a mess to eat because it always ends up dribbling down my fingers to my plate, but the salted egg yolk custard is just delicious. I like it with the pineapple bun crust because of that extra crumbly-ness Baked Crispy Durian Cake: haha looks like I love their baked items! Love the thin crispy skin on this combined with the soft, creamy durian filling. Durian isn't too potent so your friends who normally can't stand the funk can also taste at ease :) Taro Puffs: another crispy outside! Good amount of taro plus salty filling that consists of some juicy pork. I always avoid ordering this at the bakeries because it's never crispy enough, but this was perfect Others I've tried that are also good: stuffed eggplant, black pepper short ribs, chicken feet, and the deep fried jalapeno stuffed with shrimp deserves a mention since they do it a little differently than most places. On top of the shrimp paste, they added rice to it when deep frying that gives it more of a crunch. Only thing that I didn't like would be the snowy skin durian. It comes cold and wrapped with plastic. I was expecting more of a mochier skin/wrapping, but the skin is too flour-y and not chewy. I ended up just digging out the durian filling to eat read more

I have been to this restaurant many times and the food is great. Sometimes we take it home . Other times we eat at the restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our dim sum experience, savoring shrimp, beef, and cilantro steamed rice rolls, along with clear dumplings featuring shrimp and beef. The assortment of mini buns, including pineapple, pork, and beef, added delightful variety. Dim sum is an endless delight, perfect for sharing with family and friends. read more

Covid Dim Sum experience Grateful enough to enjoy their dimsum for takeout during Covid. I was craving dim sum for the longest during quarantine. The process of ordering over the phone, in person, picking it up was done in an orderly fashion. The minimal staff working flew threw orders regardless if it was busy or not. Due to language barrier, I had questions and they were very helpful. Just a few weeks ago, they finally have their outdoor patio setup with additional tables on the sidewalk. Their dimsum is one of the better ones in the area, served hot and fresh! Big hopes for them to continue serving great food and great service to the community. Hope to dine inside or check them out for dinner soon. read more

Came here for some early lunch yum cha. It was quite busy and full on Sunday, but luckily we were still able to be seated without a wait. You order through ticking boxes off a paper menu rather than the traditional dim sum cart style of ordering. Overall, the food was quite average. It was an adequate meal for lunch. read more

Crowded, tight, but ultimately the same dim sum experience customers get anywhere else on 86th Street. My family and I came here for dim sum on a recent holiday at 11:30am and, as expected, it was packed. It took about 30 minutes to get seated, but when seated the food offerings were fast and furious. I liked that the dim sum carts here were constantly on the move and coming and going, so whenever we wanted a certain dish it wasn't too far away. The restaurant had everything a good dim sum restaurant should serve - pork siu mai, shrimp dumplings, steamed chicken feet, fried sticky rice, spring rolls, beef noodle rolls, shrimp noodle rolls, donut noodle rolls, beef tripe, chive dumplings, char siu bao, mini egg tarts, malay sponge cake, coconut pudding and much, much more. From what we tried, everything was standard fare and was good flavor-wise. In addition, our table also ordered a shredded chicken pan fried noodle. Although it took longer than we wanted to come out, when it did, it pleasantly surprised me. Not only was the noodle crispy, but there was a ton of sauce on the noodle too. The 1st few bites were great, in that it was crunchy, but eventually the noodle got a bit soggy, however there was plenty of flavor to it. I would have liked a bit more chicken in the dish as well. The food is pretty much on par with other restaurants on 86th Street. Variety is good and so are the flavors. The restaurant isn't huge, so wait times could get long during peak hours on weekends. read more

Dim sum was definitely a craving I've had for a while. Did it satisfy? Definitely! My husband and I really just wanted the regular dim sum we usually ordered which includes cheurng fun, siu mai, and the chicken in rice wrapped in leaves dish. My only gripe was they handed us a menu all in Chinese (very reminiscent of Hong Kong by the way) but the server did say if we needed help, we could ask him. However, I viewed it as a challenge and was able to order our dishes with a little help from google translate! Service was super quick and instead of a couple who sat and chat long after we were done eating, we got the check and left satisfied. Definitely will go back again! Also for those who are worried they aren't trying their best for indoor dining, rest assured. Their menus are paper so it isn't reusable and they do try their best at six feet apart. For the larger tables, they set dividers between each table! read more

This is the spot to be for family style and a good time. They have two floors with the second floor having private rooms with karaoke machines. The rooms are pretty big upstairs fitting like 10+. The food is great here and you can up the portion if you want for the amount of people in your table. For private rooms you need to spend a minimum so check with them when you call to reserve a room. They also have great service here because we brought a cake and they sliced and served for all of us. My favorite dish was probably the fried tilapia fishies and the lamb ribs. Soo good! My table devoured all the dishes. read more

The service here is incredibly homey & catering especially if you can speak the language- they may pull up a chair or hold your baby while you eat. We over ordered our usual over-order. HOT DAM. Let's start in the way the food arrived: The shrimp: cooked, sweet, tender, a second under to maintain that cross that keeps you guessing- is it fully cooked? The head roe is in tact and looked like it jus met a second of steam- served w jalapeño soy. Beautiful looking but even better in the belly. Followed by the impressive presentation of Ebi sashimi w their heads (jus to look at before they bread and fry w salted egg batter!) was so fresh, cold and yummy. Even the non-raw ppl ate this up. The salted egg crab feast- my goodness! You've just got to order and have this. So we'd brought 2 dozen crabs to be breaded and fried which the restaurant obliged to perfection- each piece (esp the shells) were thoroughly dredged with this mouthwatering salted egg powder that would envelope each piece like a thin cracky coat of paint that you could eat like a wafer chip. Then they added tiny fried fish in the same coating! Topped with fresh and dried shallots, garlic chips, jalapeño and Birds Eye chili. Holy F-ing Moly. We almost lost it. Then they casually popped the plate of fried shrimp heads coated in the same batter. No Big Deal. Drooool city. The sesame baby beef ribs were so large our server cut them for us and it was seared in this honey char sui dark Chinese 5 spice soy sauce that necessitated bowls of white rice. So tender- you can tell they'd pounded this veal to death. The sea cucumber medley came next. Many connoisseur favors this dish that has an assortment of uncommon seafood (sea cucumber, scallops, squid) with also selective veggies- sugar snap peas, king oyster mushrooms, sprouts and macadamia. Ok I see you special people. Was tasty and seasoned exactly. Lobster sticky rice- I can't even. How did someone stir fried some coated lobster pieces and then said- it needs some chewy sweet rice melded in with preserved pork belly? Look- I don't question the method- I just came to eat. Let's just say we tore this up. And thank you D- for letting me know this was coming so I didn't fill up on the salted crabs and ribs over white rice bc I had to stop myself. Black chicken soup- peppery, sweet and savory. Not herbally at all. We needed this boogie palate cleanser. What a treat. Fried whole Flounder. Because we just can. Nothing to be said about this one except it was not the best version, very likely bc it's hard to impress someone who's already plowed through a heavenly buffet on their 3rd plate. But I will say- the quality was missed on this one as auntie's discerning palate declared it wasn't fresh. It was fried and she knew right away. Dam she's good. A very Toisan dish came next: preserved Chinese sausage and pork belly with Chinese broccoli. I approve. Another "light" lol dish. We tried to stop the chicken but it was already made. We had the drunk sauce chicken (I'm sorry- I don't know the official name)- more or less like a hainanese chicken that's boiled or silky steamed and then doused in this brothy wine reduction. This was actually very tasty and I would like nothing more than the sauce alone and a pint of white rice on any given day. Out came the Peking pork chop. WTF. As we all stared at the half eaten beef ribs and then back again at the heaping orange red blocks of fried meat that threatened to topple us. WTF. I'll tell u wtf- this is not to be missed. I'd even cut another piece of beef rib to compare to my 3rd piece of Peking chop to possibly understand in an educated way- what is the reason for this kind of repeat? Here's my conclusion: They are different. The Peking pork chop is always favored bc it's crazy sweet but balanced with tomatoey tang it just strikes the most beautiful balance. And Choi Fook hires chefs to individually pick out the fattiest cuts of pork to coat in this magnificent batter and sauce to render the perfect Peking pork chop. All that said, go back up to read my description of the beef ribs- they are very solid but they are not perfect like the chops. This is the one dish I would run off with, here. They said one more and we were powerless to question anything at this explosive point. So the snow pea shoots came and they were really tender, scrumptiously light, comparatively, married with goji berries, enoki, dried shrimp and garlic. Tasty. We finished with fresh cut oranges and of course- mango cake from Tous Le Jour. It wouldn't be right without it. Lol. read more

I still love their dim sum service! But their dinner service sucks! We sent there Father's Day around 5pm. Only 4 other parties were there on the ground floor, not sure about other floors. They didn't even have HO FUN... what kind of chinese restaurant runs out of flat noodles? Long story short, we ordered 2 entrees and 2 single soups. We waited for 45 mins for soups and then 15 mins later we finally got food. The food was still good just that their dinner service sucked! read more

The food n service is good. We go there for dim sum n dinner sometimes, the place is always busy. Pls make reservation

Updated: 9/22/18 Dim Sum Review - Decent dim sum, some items tastier than others. Liked their "wannabe" THW baked pineapple-roast pork - it was decent. Liked their steamed crystal shrimp dumplings, braised chicken feet, mini-egg tarts and the fried taro. Everything else was just standard. -SKIP the fried noodles, it was terrible. We got the "beef fried noodles"... the noodles was undercooked, tough and chewy. -Service was OK. Just flag & ask for stuff you need! ************************************* Review for dinner service & not Dim Sum. This is a new Chinese Seafood Restaurant that took over the old "Joy Luck Seafood Restaurant"... potentially new owners & management. As it's still new, make a reservation to ensure you get a table for dinner and not wait for 30-45mins. We went for an early Father's Day dinner - so absolutely needed a ressie! Service is good, the wait staff made recommendations and had good suggestions. Don't be afraid to say "no" because some of items are on the pricey side. Can't go wrong with the basics. What's hot: The food is pretty good, well portioned and tasted flavorful. -King Crab (S.P. - we got $45/lb; 7.5 lb - this sucker was sweet & huge!) Go Big. Or Go Home. This was cooked 2 ways. (1) The crab head - steam-water-eggs. Kids loved this dish! (2) crab legs - steam - scallion/garlic - over - vermicelli. Soooo Good!!! -T Bone Steak - surprisingly juicy, this was good! -Fried Eel with asparagus - delicious but not for kids! Tiny bones - beware. -Fried Piggy Big Intestines! My Dad loved this! Decent/standard: -Conch with Fried Tofu (gum jurn lor peen) - decent but conch is by lb - overpriced - not worth it. -Walnut Shrimp - tasty - not overly smothered in mayonnaise. -Sautéed Morning Glory (Ong-Choy) with bean paste, kind of mellow - not enough bean paste My only negative, knowing our table of 12 consisted 5 young kids (ages 2 - 9); could've recommended a smaller size King Crab. The 7.5 lb beast could feed 10 adults easily. Understand you're trying to make a profit but placing your customers first ensures many more returns. IMHO. Overall a good dinner, good service, good laugh. Happy feasting Yelpers! read more

One of my favorite weekend activities would be going to have old fashioned cart-style Dim Sum. However, with pandemic lockdowns in place, I have not been able to do this since February. When I heard from a friend that Choi Fook was offering take out Dim Sum, I was excited and one day while passing through NYC I decided to stop by and order up some food. As of my last visit (about a month ago) Choi Fook has converted their restaurant into a take-out only model. Most seats and tables have been pushed to the back and stacked up to the sides. Instead, there is an assembly area in the middle where the Dim Sum carts and shelves are rolled out. The ladies that once pushed the carts now assemble orders taken by the manager. I would recommend calling ahead if you can. I did not and waited about 15 minutes for my order to be cooked and assembled. Overall, I really liked everything I got. The Shiu Mai was fantastic. The stuffed tofu wraps were very tasty and the chicken feet were good. I would not say this was the best Dim Sum ever, but it was very good (a solid B+) and worth the trip. Service was good and friendly. There was a waiting area in the front to sit and hang out while your order was prepared. Prices were comparable to what I would have paid in New Jersey. If you're looking for some quality Dim Sum during this difficult time, Choi Fook is a great choice. read more

Mediocre food. Had to repeatedly ask for the same requests until we finally received it. Staff was pushy about ordering and pressured us to order things we were not interested in, even after we asked for a minute. AVOID anything fried (even their lamb chops are fried). Their vegetables were poorly selected (their choy had some many randomly chopped stem bits) and undercooked. Many other examples like taro pieces being in huge dry chunks that demonstrates lacking in quality control. To finish it off, being stopped on our way out because we "didn't tip enough". For the mediocrity we were presented, I think we were generous with the tipping the default. There are many alternatives around, save your time and money read more

The food was delicious. Those clams with black bean sauce were actually one of the best I've tasted thus far. They gave us a private room with a TV and we can choose music to play, with karaoke subtitles! That's really cool!!! read more

So grateful for this place to be open during lock down period. Choi Fook has one of the best and fresh dim sums in 86th street. The line is long on the weekends so I highly recommend going early to order or wait until after 12 pm for a nice brunch. Take out only. Tried their beef chow fun and it was really good too. Either way with this place, it can't go wrong. read more

Soo glad I came across Choi Fook! The family style here is amazing. Great options at reasonable prices and it really satisfies the Cantonese cravings. Beef short rib, walnut shrimp, and the sweet and sour pork were amazing. Came out steaming with great flavor. Indoor dining- each table is sectioned off with makeshift walls. Workers wearing masks the entire time that I noticed! read more

Choi Fook - Short ribs - Chinese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Been here a number of times and I love this place, it does help to come with a Chinese speaking friend to navigate the menu. Typically the best dish to order although a bit pricey would be the King Crab. Typically, they bring the big guy over to your table (maybe not normal in American restaurants but it is a huge show/event). They then take it to the back and cook it based on your choice, we normally do it three ways. The first is they prepare the legs (crack them open) and its backed with garlic, oil and sometimes over a bed of glass or flat noodles and it is just phenomenal!!!! The second dish would be egg dish backed with the king crab meat and that has the sweet essence from the meat - very yummy. The third and final dish is usually the king crab fried rice, which is sooo amazing. Each king crab, of course, varies in price based on the weight - so definitely pick one accordingly. Other dishes are your classic Cantonese dishes which are delicious, like walnut shrimp, chicken, crispy foul, vegetables, steak or honestly anything. All decent dishes, but this place is definitely great for the king crab. read more

Very mediocre dim sum. They have all the basics here and price is actually very good. For large dim sum it's $3.75 and $2.50 for small. The problem is that the food does not come out hot-more like luke warm. The only dish that was good was the preserve egg and pork congee. It was very good and delicious. The rest of the food was bland and did not taste fresh. The shrimp rice noodles were okay. The turnip cake was cold and tasted off. Service was okay and the dim sum ladies pushing the carts are nice. Bathroom is located downstairs. read more

I really thought the prices were overpriced.. i only got 6 dishes and it costs $27. I ordered the basic dishes. The portions were small and the tastes were lacking. Nothing spectacular. Just ordinary. Even the dim sum lady praises how this place rocks.... The beef churng fun is tiny as hell. Made for kid's portion sizes. I don't get the people who swears by this place as better than the rest. I think this will be the first and last time that I will be coming here to buy dim sum to go. I didn't even take the picture of the dim sum. Not worth my phone's memory usage. read more

Solid place for dim sum. Prices are reasonable and the service is friendly. Be sure to call ahead and order, especially on holidays or weekends. The staff is doing their best but pro tip, just check your order to make sure everything is inside. One dish was missing from my order, even though I was charged. I chalked it up as an extra tip for the staff. They are stretched thin and overworked, so be patient and plan ahead. read more

My family and I came here for dimsum on Sunday, got there at 11am and boy was it crowded! I forgot to take a picture, but almost every table is separated by a plastic dividers, almost like see through cubicles. They use disposable table covers, that they just wrap up with ask the garbage between guests. The wait was a bit long, waited 40mins, but it was expected since it's Sunday + lunar new year. Once we were seated, we were given a menu paper where we would select what we want and hand it to the staff. As expected, because of covid there are less dimsum options. I actually love the dim sum here, it's better than most places. We ordered both types of cha siew bao (roast pork buns), baked and steamed, both were super soft and delicious. The spring rolls had a bit too much mushrooms for me but great for anyone who loves mushrooms. Siu mai is delicious also. The fried football looking thing with ground pork filling and glutinous dough? was really good but don't know what its called. We also ordered a plate of fried rice which I think could've been better. But we are there for the dimsum so overall good experience. Last thing to add, on the menu it shows the prices of each dish size(small, medium, large, etc) and the size of each item is listed next to the check box. read more

They have actually won a place in my heart/tummy now. It has become pretty hard to find good dim sum places and this place was pretty good. My first time coming here was last year (2019) for fathers day. I feel like they're a little tiny but pricier than other places but it is well worth it in exchange for some quality food. The most memorable dish I had was one of their beef dishes. Unfortunately I do not remember what it was called. Even my husband, who normally avoids beef, really loved it here. He is the one who normally orders it. I highly recommend this place. read more

Pretty good authentic Chinese cuisine. The flavors really hit home for me, especially their chicken and coconut soup. I didn't expect to like it, but it was super flavorful, and I was able to taste every component that went into that soup. I felt healthier just drinking it. We got their King Crab which was cooked three ways: - garlic, steamed crab legs - salted yolk fried crab - crab fried noodles I felt the first two dishes were outstanding, and the noodle dish could be better. I didn't particularly like the thick egg noddles they used, and I didn't find any flavor on it, would have preferred crab fried rice instead. We also got Chicken, and a veggie dish. Both were very flavorful. Overall, it was a good meal, the service was really good, and the waiter was very attentive. However, please keep in mind parking is very difficult to find around this area. read more

of all the dimsum restaurants on 86th street, this one is the best. precovid, there would be a line out the door for a table on weekends, always jam packed with patrons. if you're new to the dim sum scene, here are my recommendations! herbed chicken feet: to many westerners this might sound gross but i assure you the mix of herbs creates such a rich broth that the chicken feet marinates in. the meat on the chicken feet easily melts off the bone, and it's a must-try at every dim sum place. pork belly white pepper: another soupy delight. the white pepper flavor really stands out, and the dried bean curd compliments the flavors really well. beef short ribs: thin ribs doused in black pepper sauce. dessert: egg tart- comes with 3, an extremely flaky exterior and decadent custard filling. I prefer dim sum egg tarts over bakery egg tarts! their take out situation is very streamlined and they've got it down. order what you want when you enter on the left. the workers will put all your goods in take out containers and tally up your total. they'll hand you a slip with your balance and you pay up front on the right. since it's dim sum there's practically no wait unless you want an item that they don't have up front. read more
