A bit noisy as there's sooo many tables just back to back all around each other, so you can hear everybody around. Large room with servers that go around in carts with all the dumpling menu options and all you do is say yes to all the ones you need and it's served right then and there, how convenient! Unlike most AYCE dumpling places, their portions here are fairly large and definitely shareable. So pick responsibly, but then again, you are able to take home leftovers. Leftovers are the best though, right? This was my first time with a large group of friends and let our main host choose all she thought was good as most of us were first timers and she's been there several times and every choice was definitely not a disappointment. I'll definitely come back to share an updated review on more food in specifics! I hardly took enough photos as we were having a great time and just went all in on the food!

If you are looking for an authentic Cantonese restaurant : be warned: don't come here. The best so…read morefar has been the Nobel Chef and a close second would be the Imperial Dynasty. If you don't know what Cantonese cuisine is then stop reading now. The waitress was nice but you can't fix "stupid". We wanted to order a combination meat dish half bbq pork and half steam chicken. This is a common offering at all Cantonese restaurants . But instead of getting what we ordered.. we got a whole big plate of steamed chicken a a big plate of bbq pork. I made them take back the pork and not to charge us for it. The next thing we ordered was pan fried seafood noodles, standard Cantonese fried noodle dish with Chinese broccoli, chunks of fish, shrimp and squid. Well there were only 3 pieces of shrimp 2 pieces of squid and the rest was a lot of chunks of fish. The fried noodle underneath the seafood should be drenched in a delicious sauce, but it was not so the noodle was very dry. Makes you wonder where they got the cook from. The last dish we ordered was stir fried water spinach. The spoilage itself but the poured way too much salt on it. And lastly... the bill... $90. I really don't mind paying $80 to $120 for a dinner for two. But this place does not have the server or the guy in the kitchen justify the price. Very disappointed. I don't know how long they've been in business.. but I guess you can get away with a lot these days. We're always looking for authentic Cantonese restaurants if you know of any more please let me know. Meanwhile... we'll just stick with Nobel Chef, Imperial Dunasty, and the occasional dim sum at Golden Island.""

Best dumpling house in North County San Diego! From dumplings and baos to noodles and soup,…read moreeverything is so delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. I especially love that everything is made fresh right in front of you. The little ones can even watch through the window as they make the dumplings, which makes the experience even more fun for the whole family. You can really taste the freshness! Definitely a must-try if you love authentic, freshly made dumplings!

Room temperature soup ?!!!…read more Cons: The one item that I ordered, Shrimp & Pork Wonton Soup w/Udon, was served room temperature. Bummed as I could see the guests 2 tables away soup was STEAMING! When I politely mentioned the temperature, the response was, "sorry." Fried Tempura Shrimp were cold and hard. Dumplings were 'gummy'. Pros: Your water glass will never be empty. We are normally generous Tippers. I have no desire to return. Sad, because my boyfriend has been wanting to come to this restaurant again for a long time. Today, I gave in.

I also tried the beef rib noodle soup, Angus steak with house sauce, chili wonton, and Dan Dan noodles. Everything was flavorful and satisfying!

Can't wait to come back and try more from the menu!

BEWARE IF YOU COME HERE TO BUY ROAST DUCK! I used to buy…read moreroast duck here almost every month until they sold me a leftover roast duck. It was Tuesday, which meant they hadn't sold out by the previous Sunday because they were closed on Monday and reopened on Tuesday. So they sold me a roast duck that was already two days old. It tasted terrible! the meat was dry and salty! Since then, I've never gone back because I'm terrified of eating leftover roast duck again. The restaurant owner is terrible! for selling leftover food to customers!

Not many dim sum spots make this traditional treat anymore! The service was friendly and courteous. Both the waiter and cashier greeted me and kindly explained there'd be a short wait since the dim sum is steamed fresh to order. I'm always happy to wait a few extra minutes for hot, fresh, delicious food!

I feel I need to do two reviews for this restaurant...the 1st is for "off the menu" (OTM) & the 2nd…read morefor "All-You-Can-Eat" (AYCE). Let's start with OTM-the food selection and quality is very good - 4 Stars...very flavorful, not too salty and plenty of quality filling (we had mostly the shrimp dishes). The AYCE - you get mostly the same menu items except you get NO veggie options...this really sucks...give that veggies are cheap compared to the protein options. They will only bring you 3 dishes at a time and you pretty much need to finish what you ordered before they bring you any more food. If you order a lot of the shrimp dishes first, they won't come back with the shrimp cart again, you will have to chase them down...you do have the option of to order items directly from the kitchen if they are not on the dim sum carts...but they take forever to arrive. I would rate the AYCE - 3 stars. Overall the food is very good but the service sucks...they are very slow to bring you your items and good luck is trying to get a refill on your soda (which is included on the AYCE option)...if you ask for a refill more than once they give you an attitude :((

My only complaint is that it's really pricey. I spent $90 on Dim Sum--JUST FOR MYSELF!! A single serving of Siu Mai (Shumai) - Chinese steamed dumplings (you get 4 per serving), is over $9! It adds up fast. But, it beats flying back to San Francisco or Hong Kong. Anyway, the ambience is pleasant, and the workers are super friendly. I give them 5-Stars.
