    Utterly disappointed at the dim sum quality of this place. The portions are small for what they charge you. Almost everything is large or special prices which blows my mind for simple 8 dishes to come out to $45. Also, the dim sum was cold when I went to order in person at noon. They deceive you by putting the nicer looking dimsum on top and then give you the bottom ones. I told them that the chicken feet dish they gave me is a lot smaller compared to other plates but they won't change it out. The two stars are really for their dinner food as that is really good and comes out fresh and piping out. Zero stars for dim sum.

    My New Year dinner 2026 Love the newly renovated atmosphere, the portion for all the dishes were bigger than I thought. The seafood was the best part of my night.

    Came in for a family dinner during the weekend, The restaurant was packed with customers and really loud, and this was part of the new renovation done recently. Food came out super slow, staff kept apologizing and reminded us the kitchen is understaffed. The table behind me, had two cases of Beer and bottles of wine on their table. While my table was awaiting our dishes to slowly come out from the kitchen, the patrons next to my family started getting loud- like really loud. The place is smaller than pre-renovation, so we are basically all back to back with each other. Food itself was very mediocre and pricey. Overall, not an enjoyable dinner- don't feel like returning

    The new renovations felt a lot nicer than before. The food was very good and served in a timely manner. The service was also pretty good overall. Would definitely return again for family dinners.

    Tasty food with generous portions, and the place feels clean .Service is quick enough even during busy hours. I like that they start serving dim sum at 9 AM it's fresh.

    My favorite dish, the shrimps were tender and fresh

However, the real negative here is the operations. It is a chaotic mess for the volume they are trying to do. It's not about adding more manpower, it's about streamlining. Tables are sitting empty while people are on the waitlist (not due to reservations), orders are going to the wrong tables, to-go orders are in disarray and have to be re-verified on multiple orders, and it takes a long time to get some water. The Yelp waitlist is useless here - wait was supposed to be 5-10 minutes and it turned into almost 40. All this could have been avoided with more planning, better organization, and training. Kitchen staff doing their job well. Front of house needs work.

    We've been trying g to expand our horizons for Chinese food. House of Joy was recommended by Eater…read moreNY. The place was packed on a Wednesday at noon. We shared a big table, which added to the authentic feel of the place. The staff were nice. The carts were copious. They serve the greatest hits. The preparation is a bit different from other dim sum restaurants in the area. This just highlighted the deliciousness of the dishes. We worked our way through the greatest hits. Standouts were the clams in black bean sauce and pork chops. Has fried tofu skins filled with ground shrimp for the first time. The food was uniformly excellent. A great find, hiding in plain sight. Will definitely return.

Make sure to go ahead and get a #. There are crowds of people just waiting to be called at the door so it's easy to get confused. They're good at calling the number in both canto AND english on the mic so it's not easy to miss but you def got to plow through the crowd. For food, we got sat in a corner where the carts couldn't be pushed through so the staff would ask if we wanted stuff which makes it hard if you don't speak some form of chinese. Overall, I managed with Mandarin. We were still able to get everything we wanted and were pretty full so we were satsified. They do accept card for 15$ or more which is pretty easy if you're going for dim sum. They do have table service for that which mades things easier than having to go to the front. Foodwise, everything was good, affordable, and this spot is very popular. I'd still go back when I crave some dim sum.

Service was a mixed bag: despite staff not being the most attentive, dishes came out pretty fast. Now let's talk food. The xiao long bao are a must. The broth inside is rich, savory, and super satisfying. Definitely don't skip the Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings or the Crab Meat & Pork Soup Dumplings. They're pure comfort in dumpling form! The Braised Beef Noodle Soup also hit hard: hearty, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you're craving something warm and cozy. Not in a soupy mood? Try the Pan-Fried Pork & Crabmeat Buns for crispy bottoms and rich fillings. & shoutout to the bok choy for being tasty and doing its job... yes, it delivered the fiber we desperately needed to fix vacation constipation. All in all, a great place to eat well, share generously, and leave very full and very happy. Highly recommended.

The soup dumplings were delicious and need for first timers. I was blown away on how the taste was salty enough, juicy enough, and the perfect mouthful. We also ordered the pan fried dumplings and shumai dumplings. All were perfect with the vinegar/soy sauce dip. We ordered the beef soup with noodles, crispy noodles with meat, and stir fry noodles with beef. It was delicious and perfect. The noodles were perfectly cooked and chewy. The tea was warm and perfect for the New York cold weather. Our servers were very friendly and checked in on us every so often. 10/10

    Went here on a Thursday night to catch up with some friends. I'm not really a big sushi person, but…read moreI've been giving it more of a chance lately. The ambiance is calm and cozy -- definitely a good spot whether you're grabbing a couple drinks, a quick bite, or sitting down for a full dinner. I ordered the Joker roll, and that's where things started to click for me with sushi. The tuna and avocado paired with the spicy red sauce really made it stand out -- honestly tasted great and something I'd get again. Also had the Mongolian steak with rice, which was another highlight. Presentation was fire -- it comes out still heating on a hot platter, which makes the whole experience feel elevated. Flavor matched the presentation too. Service was solid overall, no real issues there. The only downside was with a deal they were advertising ("3 for $33"). It was shown on their website and even posted outside the restaurant, which was actually one of the main reasons we chose the spot. When we tried to use it, we were told they weren't honoring it that night and that the deal had been causing them to lose money. I understand adjusting pricing if something isn't working, but if that's the case, the promotion should be removed or clearly communicated ahead of time. Having it still advertised and then not honoring it was frustrating and took away from the experience. Overall: good food, nice vibe, and a solid option in Brooklyn -- just make sure to double-check any deals before going.

All of them. And the happy hour menu you CAN NOT TOP prices awesome. Service is amazing as well, I mean they put up with me bitching about the TV all the time. And the worst part is that I bring my phone to watch. So am I just bitching... ugh Anyway see yall in a few weeks
