You'll want to make a reservation WEEKS in advance and hope for the best! Our group ordered so many delicious items, and some standouts were: Shrimp Har Gao: These were crisp and tasty, with a skin that was the appropriate thickness - and of course had enough slip to it. Yum! Pork Shu Mai: These ingredients were tip top! I'm not a fan of pork, but I enjoyed this one... whatever they marinated it in was amazing. Stuffed Eggplant: Tasty, too! I love eggplant, especially the stuffed ones. The sauce paired very well and was simply satisfying. Mushroom Noodles: This was honestly a hot mess and hot miss. It tasted very bland like airplane food... highly recommend not ordering this! Cheung Fun - The rice noodle was crisp and very satisfying. Whether an oil stick or protein, highly recommend this one. What's nice is eating here was very relaxing late in the afternoon. The overall ambiance is spacious and quiet enough for conversation. Either we got lucky missing out on the liveliness, or all the aunties with tea left before we arrived. Overall, I could see myself coming back for the dim sum... but have a little more reservation (no pun intended) when trying their lunch items.

It was busy but not packed on Sunday. We were able to get some classics right away from a cart - har gow was great. We also ordered off the menu by checking off items on a piece of paper. Food was generally better than most places we get in Portland and cheaper - I would come back. Service is what you expect. You flag a server if you need something.

They had a real good dipping sauce to accompany. - duck: This duck dish was real good. We certainly we like this place. Oh...and it's open later than most any restaurants around in the area!

I'd seen this place on my feed a couple times and got to visit when seeing Shannon Falls for the…read morefirst time. The view from the patio area is really beautiful though there isn't too much seating (also no washroom) so a better bet might be to take the food to go to the Shannon Falls picnic area across the street. I was actually really surprised by how much I liked the roast duck bowl (~$18)! We shared the bowl, and the dumpling sampler (~$12) which has 2 XLB, 2 Ha Gow and 2 Siu mai and came with sauces and chili oil. While it wasn't the best dim sum, it was actually better than I expected (and this is coming from a bit of a XLB snob). I found it to be quite filling and decent amount of veg / duck: the rice was already quite flavourful before adding the additional sauce on top. Overall, I'd recommend this spot for the view and their rice bowls!

Very good dim sum!…read more Ordered: Siu Mai: Excellent. Comes with five (!!) pieces and was succulent and juicy, topped with fish roe. Cha siu bao: Average. The meat was not lean enough but the flavor was standard. Egg tart: Excellent. The egg custard was much less sweet than I was accustomed to but was pleasant. The pastry portion was light and crispy. Shrimp and chive dumpling: Good. Packed with chives and shrimp with a light garlic flavor. Seared on both sides. Salt and pepper squid: Excellent. Easily the standout of the meal and was garnished with garlic and peppers! Ambiance was loud as usual for a dim sum restaurant.

I am writing regarding a disappointing experience during a recent dim sum visit to your Richmond…read morerestaurant. Our bill was $217.49, and I initially left a $10 tip. A staff member subsequently returned to our table and asked us to give an additional $20. I felt uncomfortable and pressured by this, and ultimately increased the tip to $30. I appreciate that $10 was a modest gratuity. However, the service was very poor. Our servers were inattentive, did not bother to provide basic items such as sauces and soy sauce, and some of the interactions with staff came across as rude. This was particularly disappointing because the standard of service at your restaurant used to be much better. My concern is not about the $20. Gratuities are voluntary, and your receipt presents 15%, 18%, and 20% as suggested tip amounts rather than a mandatory service charge. If a customer feels that the service does not warrant one of those amounts, I do not believe they should be approached and pressured to increase their tip. I was also uncomfortable with staff looking closely at the payment terminal while I was entering my PIN. Customers should be given appropriate privacy while entering their PIN or completing payment. I am not seeking reimbursement or trying to make an issue over the money. I would simply appreciate clarification of your tipping policy and ask that management address these practices with staff. Customers should be able to choose an appropriate gratuity based on the service they receive without feeling pressured or embarrassed. I have enjoyed your restaurant in the past, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. I hope management will take these concerns seriously.

We had the 3 course Peking duck ($53.95), seafood hotpot ($20.95), and a Chow Kui Tew ($16.95). For the Peking duck: it comes with the crispy skin and wrappers (I wish there was more!), lettuce wrap, and duck soup. It all tasted very authentic! The skin was crispy, the filling for the lettuce wraps was perfect, and the soup was so flavorful! This was definitely a pleasant surprise to find in Nanaimo The seafood hotpot was good as well, filled with scallops, prawns, squid, tofu and veggies. A little saucy but fresh! The Chow Kui Tew was great, with lots of "wok hay" (smokey wok flavors) but could've used a bit more salt. Flavors were all there though! Overall we were very satisfied with our meal, the quality, and service! Although portions are a bit smaller, we'll definitely come back to try their live seafood and other specialty dishes

After my order was taken, I was not given a grand total, but calculated it should of been $68.10 with tax. When our delivery arrived (cold, btw) we were told the the total was $83.90!!! When asked about the discrepancy we were told "oh we put up our prices a month ago". When I called the restaurant back, was basically told too bad so sad, "the website can't be updated due to COVID." We also found small chicken bones in our fried rice and was somewhat laughed at by the girl on the phone when I told her. It's not the $16 difference in cost, but the lack of customer service. If the price from the website can't be honoured, don't have a website! Or at least offer to refund our rice which was inedible. Will never be ordering from here again and I encourage others to order elsewhere too!!!
