The restaurant itself is huge, super clean, and has a stage and giant TV screens that give it a fun, lively atmosphere. This time we ordered the pork shumai, shrimp dumplings, BBQ pork buns, and my personal favorite- the hot and sour soup. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were craving. We also grabbed some creamy egg yolk buns to take home for dessert, and they did not disappoint. Easy to find parking.

It does look like a mom and pop Chinese restaurant and I love that they still push around the food and carts. My favorite dishes were the Peking duck, tripe, and the steam crêpe. This place is perfect for large groups and you can make a reservation if necessary. The service is also good, better than a lot of Chinese restaurants that I've been to. It is a little far out the way from the other Asian area in Convoy, but I think it's worth a trek on a weekend. Prices are standard for dim sum nowadays my husband really liked their big screen TV. If you're looking for authentic dim sum in the San Diego area, this would be my choice.

The only weird thing was that they only had a small dish to eat out of, not actual saucers for dipping, so I wish I could've added some sauce.

No complaints and to me that is a success! Beef noodles - best one I've had in a long time! Broth is tasty and not overwhelming, it had the perfect touch of flavor/spice and had a VERY generous amount of tender beef! The serving could easily be good for two but I consumed it to the last spoonful of broth. The noodles have the right texture to my bite. Will definitely be back and order the same and try other dishes too. Thank you to the chefs who prepared our food! Ordering online was easy and it allowed me to choose a modification (such as stating allergens) and there is another option to enter a special note if needed. Order is paid at the store only. Staff is friendly and polite.

There are of course a few dishes that were better than some others such as the egg tart, spareribs with black bean sauce, and har gow. Would highly recommend ordering those! All drinks on their menu are included as apart of their AYCE experience. Total with tax and tip for our group of five came out to about $45 per person. Service was excellent! All the servers working there were kind and attentive. Plenty of parking out in front in a shared lot with other businesses.
