Fantastic spot when you're craving classic dim sum--the traditional kind that hasn't been modernized or dressed up to be fancy. Not sure why it has such bad reviews, I thought of it as a hidden gem. Food and service were great. I thought prices were reasonable. Also love that they still use carts here!! It makes the whole experience feel so nostalgic for myself personally! read more

Five Star Seafood Restaurant - Chicken - Dim Sum Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Five Star Seafood inside the Hilton San Gabriel delivers exactly what I want when I'm craving real Cantonese dim sum. It's authentic, fresh, and no frills (in the best way). Everything we ordered was pure and simple, and the portions were surprisingly generous across the board. They run the classic dim sum cart service, which I personally love since I can see what's available and visually tell whether the dim sum looks delicious and true to form. Just stay alert and keep an eye out for your favorites as the carts roll by. Most of the servers didn't speak much English, but it wasn't a big deal for us. You can point, gesture, or pull up a photo or Google translation on your phone and you'll be fine. Service was brisk and efficient, which is perfect for enjoying dim sum. Ambiance is pretty decent since it's set inside a big banquet hall within the Hilton. There are large fancy chandeliers and even a movie-sized projector screen off to the side. The vibe is more "wedding reception" than "cute brunch spot," but clean, comfortable, and feels very spacious because of the super high ceiling. Best part? Pricing is dirt cheap for the quality of dim sum you get ($3.99 per item on weekdays, $4.99 on weekends). Parking was also free and easy, despite being inside a hotel. What more can you ask for? I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. read more

This is my first time trying Five Star Seafood Restaurant at the San Gabriel Hilton Hotel. I did not try their dim sum, so this review is for the banquet dinner only. (See my photos below). I attended a banquet dinner event last week. The venue was nice, and it was very spacious inside. Most dishes tasted delicious and flavorful, and my favorite dishes were the lobster, steamed fish, abalone, veggies (bok choy), and chicken the most. The portions were a decent size. The service was not bad, but it could be better. read more

The bolo BBQ bun is SO good! And such a good deal! Pineapple top is crisp and the dough on the bottom is soft and pillowy. Filling is generous too. Definitely get these if you come. read more

Came during a weekday evening. There were plenty of parking underground. Place wasn't packed. Came for the 99 cents lobster special. If you have 7 or less people, you can purchase a lobster for 99 cents. If you have 8 or more people, you can purchase two lobsters for 99 cents each. We ordered the 白雲鳳爪拚海, 香草美极焗羊扒, and 海鮮炒麵. Got the 游水龍蝦 for 99 cents. The food was all too salty for us. The jellyfish was spicy. The meat from lamb chop wasn't attached to the bone. We suspect the meat was actually beef. The chow mein was descent and crispy. The lobster was good, but way too salty. The noodles under the lobster were extra salty. The complimentary red bean dessert soup at the end was surprisingly plain. We paid approximately $80 for the meal. read more

Visited with my partner to this massive restaurant that's fit into one huge room. Once you enter, you'll see massive TV screens all around. Interior is very much of a hotel as it resides within the Hilton. There's plenty of tables which is great for packed hours. You can grab a number from the receptionist and the numbers go by quick which is a good sign to see. Parking - Free above and underground parking. Underground parking is connected to next door plaza which is also a super busy plaza. Plenty of parking to go around but can get extremely packed. Staff here is quick and friendly, a bit of a caveat though as it can get pretty messy. This dim sum restaurant is traditional with staff carting around for people to order. No set menus so there's a bit of a wait on that end if you're looking for specific plates of food. Food wise, it's standard to your traditional dim sum restaurants. From ranges of siu mai, har gow, noodle roll dishes, to chicken feet and breads/buns. Price wise is on par with other restaurants as well which is great. Overall, a decent dim sum restaurant that has long waits when busy but is quick and efficient. It's nice to see a dim sum restaurant that's not understaffed as there's plenty of staff everywhere you look. Only downside that I've faced is that the staff can be forgetful, have to ask multiple times for certain items such as the check or specific drinks, etc. read more

It's definitely a traditional dim sum spot with the servers pushing the carts which is a rare sight to see these days. Nostalgia doesn't always win though, it took forever for the har gow and siu mai to come by. We basically got it towards the end of the meal. The star of the show is the pineapple bbq bun. It had the crackled top but the bbq was a bit too sweet. Also their tea is like scolding hot..like second degree burn hot so def ask for a cup of ice lol. Go early cus at 10AM it was already packed read more

I'm giving this place 4.5 stars for VALUE. Overall very good for cheap food on game days. They have 1 jumbo-tron screen and 2 smaller screens in the huge dining room. (For a real Chinese sports bar, go to Hilton's "Trinity Restaurant" down the hall.) Har gow, tofu skin roll, siu mai, daikon radish cake, chicken feet, lotus wrap chicken sticky rice, etc. all tasted average to good (nothing really stands out except the $3.99 weekday dim sum price) Currently they're running a promo of $0.99/lb lobster or boiled prawns with $40 dine-in purchase. 20-30 minute wait during weekday lunch. This is the Five Star Seafood that was originally in the 99 Ranch/Focus Plaza across the street. However, even though it's now inside the San Gabriel Hilton, it's not run by the hotel so you cannot use your Hilton points but they will happy accept your Amex/Hilton card (Weird I know.) read more

4 stars rating for dim sum. 2 stars rating for service. I went back to Five Stars for dim sum recently. They have moved from their previous spot (by 99 Ranch Market) to inside Hilton Hotel across the street. Access to the restaurant is much easier now compared to before. The restaurant is located on the main floor (street level) inside Hilton Hotel. The dining area is large. They are having a promotion right now where the dim sums are all one price for only $3.99 Monday through Friday; $4.99 on weekends. This is an amazing price nowadays. It's like a price roll back to over 10 years ago! The food tasted good. Service on the other hand has not changed from the last time I visited. Service is still bad. I had to ask for a cup of water three times before finally getting it. I would go back to try their dinner entrees. According to their advertisement there are dinner specials. read more

New location inside the Hilton Hotel! Parking can be a bit of a hassle, especially during peak hours. I brought my grandpa here for Father's Day, so I expected a long wait and we definitely got one. That said, for dim sum these days, the pricing here is still on the more affordable side, which is a plus. Food was overall just okay, nothing particularly memorable, but not bad either. Service is where things really fell short, though I usually give dim sum spots some grace here. This location is massive, taking up the entire ballroom, but it felt seriously understaffed, possibly made worse by the holiday rush. There were limited dim sum carts circulating, and it took about 25 minutes after being seated just to get plates. Not sure if I'd come back here....but maybe for dinner. read more

Everything was soo good. The shrimp wonton//shrimp gok on the paper had the wonton skin really crispy but not stab your mouth crispy. Hargow and and siumai eas good but the hargow wrap came out so easily. I wasnt really a fan of the deep fried shrimp bwcause were is the sugar cane? Not sure if they omit because it was take out. They have the dimsum ladies here which brings the true dimsum experience back. Place is huge. It is located inside the hilton hotel. If you enter from valley, hust go straight down, pass the elevators, and another restaurant/bar. Downside is theres not really any ac unless there was just too many people the ac couldnt keep up. Dinner might be good here too. The prices arent bad. Will come back for a family dinner. read more

My sister stopped by here after she was getting her massage across the street so she asked me what would I like from here. I wanted Mongolian beef but they don't have that so my sister sent me the picture of their beef option and I chose the Kung Pao Beef. She got the small soy sauce noodles and also some dim sum. She said the wait took forever and they never told her how long the wait would be until after she put in her order at the restaurant which was 45 min. This restaurant is inside the Hilton hotel. If you come to a wedding or event here, they don't let you take to go if there are leftover, my sister attended a wedding here before. The Kung Pao beef was delicious and they give you a decent portion. I tried the shrimp dumplings that my sister got and it was good too. The small soy sauce noodles was a great combination to eat with the beef. read more

Came here at 930 on a Saturday morning. The restaurant was about 2/3 full so probably would get here before 1030 to avoid waiting in line. Located inside a wedding ball room at the Hilton hotel, they have a dedicated underground parking lot as there was an employee directing us to avoid using the hotel parking lot. The dim sum is decently priced at 4.99 per dish on the weekends (3.99 weekdays) however there were no egg tarts or shrimp dumplings which is quite surprising as these are two of the top items at dim sum. Both the r beef and shrimp rice noodles rolls were fresh and tasty but other than that the rest of the dim sum was average at best. 2 stars for the food and 1 extra for the price. Probably won't be back as Atlantic is a step above in terms of price, quality, and variety. read more

Five Star Seafood Restaurant - Lobster and dim sum special - Dim Sum Near Me - San Gabriel, California

This place was busy, but pretty efficient. I checked in thinking the wait would be long. However, we got seated in less than 10 minutes. The restaurant was in like a banquet hall inside the Hilton hotel so it was pretty big. The decor was very different from the normal dim sum restaurants. However, the feel of traditional dim sum was there. They used the dim sum carts. Something I have always enjoyed at dim sum restaurants. Although the restaurant was big, but the staffs be rolling the carts near us often. It was easy to order the foods. The staffs were pretty friendly. It was a bit difficult to tag an actual server, but once we were able to, the service was quick. Finding a parking was prob more difficult than getting seated lol Foods were fresh and tasty. The only dish that didn't taste that great was the radish cakes. The radish were old so it was somewhat tough to chew. The coconut with sesame was also not that great. The staff was praising it so much. She said it was one of their popular items. Guess we ain't a fan of it. It was a bit dry and the flavors just ain't really there. Overall, I would love to dine in again. read more

妳自己散發出來的光芒，就是最好的名片， 願妳我都能活的通透且熱烈，不張揚，也能自帶光芒～ 今天要來放前一陣子在 San Gabriel Hilton 吃的半島 飲茶，那陣子剛好我們池坊插花班在旁邊有花展， 印象非常深刻的是，我們在聚餐，看日本教授當場插花，傳授技巧，阿隔壁的半島人山人海，很吵很吵，人也太多了吧，週末時段，我忘了他們是叫了兩百個桌子還是三百個桌子，天啊， 我就在想，這飲茶有這麼好吃嗎，第二天有機會跟朋友來嚐嚐， 味道是不錯， 還有推車會推不同的點心出來， 現在大部分的飲茶餐廳都沒有推車啦，燒賣，蝦餃， 排骨，糯米雞.... 每樣點心都3.99 啦，我想生意好成這樣應該是價格便宜的關係，個人覺得東西是不錯啦，但沒有好吃到要翻300 桌的程度， 結果我們兩個人才吃30 元，還沒全部吃完，我還帶些回家. 旁邊牆上還打著龍蝦才99 cents ,真的是很划算的價格！ read more

Came by this spot inside the Hilton in San Gabriel for dinner a few times after moving from the plaza down the street. And honestly, for the price, it's pretty great spot for families and big groups. It's like you know what you're in for. The space itself feels way more upscale than what you're paying for, and we're all here for it. High ceilings, lots of room, and that grand banquet-style setup that makes it feel like a special occasion even on a random weeknight. It definitely looks more grandeur than it is. Food-wise, I'd say it's solid for the value. I've only been during weekday evenings, and the pricing is pretty reasonable for what you get. The food isn't trying to be the best in SGV, but it holds its own. The French-style beef cubes were tender, the lobster with vermicelli was a nice surprise at that price point, and you really can't go wrong with a simple steamed fish here. Service feels like your typical Cantonese banquet-style restaurant, nothing fancy but it gets the job done. Overall, it's one of those places where the place feels grand, yet the bill stays pretty down to earth. That's honestly the best part. read more

The dim sum is consistently good. So is the weekday prices...competitive with the other local dim sum palaces. Parking actually is easy....park in the underground mini-mall structure, and forget the always full street-level parking...although the doors from the side of the Hilton are closer to the entrance of the restaurant. Coming from the underground, you'll exit the elevator on lobby level and go left to the ball rooms, it's a longish walk. But less headache than street level parking ...unless you have good car karma. read more

Saw they moved to a new location in San Gabriel at the Hilton Hotel. Parking is for businesses and the hotel so it's easy to access. I arrived during the week during the lunch hour and there seemed to be a sizable crowd located in front of their ballroom location. The large room can accommodate many tables, so my wait was only ten minutes. The staff seemed understaffed although I liked how they set up the layout of the ballroom. Dim sum is on push carts and there's many, so getting entrees is prompt. As for the quality, the restaurant could use some improvement on the. The Har gow and siu mai seemed like they were pre-made and not fresh tasting and just average. Right now they're offering all dim sum dishes during the week at $ 3.99 and weekends are 4.99 per entree. Overall, I would pass on this dim sum eatery since there's to many options locally with higher quality and standards. read more

It's located in the Hilton hotel and is one of their banquet rooms. Genius use of space if I must admit, since it's easier for the staff to head off to the sides and quickly clear out tables, get food, etc. My friends and I went here on a Sunday morning, probably around 10 AM and despite how busy it was, we were seated immediately. Things got exponentially busier after we left, probably from the people who are now ready to wake up or who were done with church, so keep your timing correct! You have to pay a "tea service fee" but it's unlimited hot tea and you can also ask for a cup of ice if you prefer iced tea. It wasn't until my friend pointed out, but apparently the dim sum push cart ladies aren't as common as they used to be in the past, even in China, so for this nostalgic feel and authenticity, definitely find dim sum restaurants that still have this, like Five Star Seafood Restaurant. The cart ladies make their rounds throughout the restaurant navigating beautifully. Some of the dishes they semi prepare right there next to your table, including saucing and seasoning things up. I saw a table get some kinda rice and she PACKED it like a giant mound on top. After you order, they arbitrarily stamp the card. Maybe if you go with a big enough party, you can get a bingo (no prize though but it would look neat). If you can't get it from a cart lady, you can always flag down a different server and they can get it for you from the back and stamp the card for you. Service is super efficient and it's very very lively here. For our visit, we got chicken feet (not a fan, so I didn't consume), beef tripe with daikon (I usually hate eating this, but this wasn't bad), pineapple custard buns, XLB, siu mai, and shrimp rice rolls (a bit saltier than what I would have liked). Overall not bad and pretty filling! Would love to visit again and get some more dim sum! read more

Food here was not bad but nothing super exciting either. Prices are decent. They have a 99 cent per lb lobster deal for a 1-2 lb tiny lobster that comes with vermicelli noodles. The whole Peking duck was only $40.99. That was okay too. Not super juicy. Nothing we ordered was amazing. The lamb chops were very chewy. The spicy chicken cartilage was soso. The fish in the black bean sauce was a bit salty. The house special soup was the best thing in the meal. The restaurant was in a banquet room in the Hilton hotel. Very high ceilings so it felt extravagant like we were attending a wedding. Service was ok. Typical Asian restaurant. Not much conversation or smiles. HAPPY LOBSTERING! read more

Had a pleasant experience at Five Star Seafood Restaurant! I grew up eating here, ever since they were at the original location next to 99 Ranch. They have now moved across the street into the Hilton hotel. They serve dim sum as well, but we came here for their dinner. We ordered soup, honey walnut shrimp, Peking duck, filet mignon cubes, dried scallop fried rice and ong choy veggies. For the most part, everything was delicious, flavorful and wasn't too salty. Certain pieces of the Peking duck were a bit dry and tough to eat though. Otherwise, everything was good. They're also currently doing a deal where they give two free lobsters if you have a party of 8 people when you spend a minimum of $30 or $40 (can't remember specifically which amount, was one of those). You also can get one lobster if you dine with less than 8 people but it is required to spend that same minimum. I would set expectations low for the lobster though. The lobsters we received were pretty small, but not bad. Not surprising since they're doing a deal with it. Service was excellent. The servers there were all attentive and we received our food very quickly. The restaurant has a ton of space, probably at least 120 tables. Would be a good venue for weddings and big events. There is parking on the side and at the back of the Hilton hotel. I'd definitely like to come back to partake in their dim sum deal! read more

Haven't been here in nearly a decade, and the dim sum still hits! Affordable at $3-4 a pop, yet very filling. I also love that it still uses carts to serve meals, a tradition which is sadly disappearing at many dim sum places. Highlights have to be your standard har gow, siu mai, and chicken feet. Also enjoy the egg custard tarts (absolutely flaky and tender) and the sweet options (red bean and sesame balls). Five Star Seafood gets crazy on the weekends, so come early! And bring company to share it all! read more

Five Star Seafood Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Five Star Seafood doesn't quite live up to its name, but overall a very solid place for dim sum. They serve classic dim sum in traditional push carts. It's no frills, so don't expect anything refined or elevated. If you just want to scratch the dim sum itch and are looking to get the best bang for your buck, this does the trick. I'll start with the pros. -All the dim sum staples like the har gow, siu mai, cheung fun, chicken feet, etc. taste fine. Nothing was too salty or too bland. No real complaints, but nothing really stood out. -The most memorable dishes here to me were the fried bean curd stuffed with shrimp, and the curry fish balls. These dishes aren't as common in other dim sum restaurants. -The dining area is really spacious. -The service is good enough. You have to interact with the cart ladies, and sometimes they're nice, while sometimes they can be curt. Lol. My biggest complaint: -Of all the push cart places, this one felt extremely chaotic. The carts had no predictable route, and because the dining area was so big, we had to wait really long for the next cart to come by. By the time a cart did come by, it ran out of the dishes we wanted. We spent 45 minutes just trying to get an order of siu mai and chicken feet. Other cart places like NBC have a much more efficient system, and I've never had problems flagging a cart down there. I would personally stick to paper menu ordering places if you'd rather order everything at once and don't want to bother flagging someone down for food every 10 minutes. This place can get packed on the weekends, so try to come early. We came right when they opened at 9am on a Sunday and the room filled up by 10am. Parking is easy. They have free ground-level and underground parking. Conveniently located on Valley near the best boba shops. read more

It's been over 12 years since I've been back to Five Star. They've since moved from Focus plaza across the street to the Hilton San Gabriel ballroom. Kind of random but very enterprising. Also, the quality has drastically improved. It's improved enough that it would make my consideration list of dimsum when I'm back in town visiting my parents. They still do cart style here, but they have fancy insulated teapots which makes it difficult to get your tea refilled with the usual etiquette (by flipping the tea cap over). They're also clearly trying to drum up business with their crazy specials - 99 cent for a Boston lobster!! And 99¢ per lb steamed shrimp. read more

Five Star Seafood Restaurant is a dim sum restaurant in San Gabriel. It's located on the first floor at the Hilton Hotel in a huge ballroom. There is parking in the main level in the connected plaza but there's more parking in the underground lot. They serve dim sum during the day where workers push the carts. You will see the typical fare like siu mai, har gow, spare ribs, and others. At night the restaurant becomes a banquet hall that hosts huge amounts of people and has offerings like live lobster and crab. The space is basically a hotel ballroom turned into a restaurant with so much space. Because it's so massive, even on weekends you won't need to wait long. They don't take reservations so make sure your entire party is present. read more

One of few places that still does the cart style dim sum. Don't expect fancy, beautifully presented dim sum. It's like $4-$5 which is a good deal these days and it tastes as expected. First off, finding parking is hard. The restaurant is on the first floor of Hilton Hotel but the parking is shared with the plaza next door, it's underground. If you come during busy time, it's going to be a struggle navigating through full of bad drivers and pedestrians just walking out without looking. If you make it past that, restaurant is pretty easy to locate. Once inside, you flag down one of the ladies pushing the cart with the dim sum. If you like it, better stock up because they might not make their way around for a while. The ladies don't really speak much English so hard to communicate if you're trying to figure out what's in what. Place is a bit chaotic. Rating this based on my childhood push cart dim sum experiences. If you're used to the $7-$9 per dish places, this may be too much for you. There's not much customer service here. read more

I've been coming here for decades ever since they were across the street and had always loved it until today. This is my first time at the new location and sadly they just aren't nearly as good as they were across the street. The Chinese broccoli was cool and when I complained they suggested that we just eat the cold parts on top and get to what they promised would be warmer broccoli beneath in a very dismissive tone. Instead I suggested it be microwaved which they reluctantly did. The har gow and shumai lacked any real flavor and the wrappers were entirely too doughy. The egg tarts were the star, but with so little good dim sum beforehand we left disappointed. Not planning on returning anytime soon, there are just far too many alternatives available instead. read more

We had a very pleasant experience today at Five Star Seafood for its dim sum special. We are a party of 11 and we got seated very quickly. The dim sum cart keeps coming around us, and the servers are very responsive to our requests. We ordered the regular dim sum. For example, shiu mai, har gow, rice roll, chicken feet, etc. All the dim sums tasted really good, but I can't tell whether they are pre-made or made in-house at the restaurant. Although someone may have complained about a dining hall, which I think is ok, the table spreads wide enough and is not cramped at all. I will try the dinner special when I have the time. read more

The quality of food was going down hill when they were still at the 99Ranch plaza, I last had dim sum there maybe 1-2months before they moved across the street. I just tried it on a random Thursday (3/26/2026) at their new location located inside Hilton Hotel and it's improved. Tables are pretty spread apart and space in between makes it feel not so cramped/claustrophobic as it did when they were upstairs at the 99Ranch plaza. This location also has high ceilings which helps a ton. They still have cart ladies! They're running a sale starting 3/16/2026 and on, not sure when it'll end. Dim sum is $3.99 Monday through Friday, $4.99 weekends and holidays. Lo Mai Gai (lotus wrapped sticky rice) was pretty flavorful. Rice absorbed savory filling flavors and texture was just right. Sin Juk Guen (bean curd roll)- pork in filling was really tender and not too fatty which was nice. Jian Dui (sesame ball) is what surprised me. Not only do they have the traditional mung bean filling, they also had a black sesame filling and a liu sha (molten salted egg custard) filling one. I saw it in one of the fried dim sum carts and wasn't too sure what they were, the cart ladies told us they were filled with black sesame and one was liu sha. We had to give both a try. The Black Sesame filled one was good but a bit greasy/oily. The Liu Sha one was sooo good, haven't seen any other dim sum restaurants do this. I've only seen and ate Liu Sha Baos but not a jian dui version. read more

Came here twice this week to take advantage of their current promo of $3.99 Dim Sum on weekdays. It's $4.99 on weekends. Great price considering how expensive dim sum and food in general has been lately. I haven't been here since they moved from Focus Plaza over to the Hilton across the street. With the promo, it gives me an opportunity to make the drive since I no linger live in the SGV and now reside in the OC. Unfortunately, the first visit this week, it was 2:00pm and there was plenty of seating but only two carts being pushed around with not much dim sum to choose from. The 2nd visit, we arrived around 11:30AM and waited about 30-40 min for a table. The table they gave us was up against the wall and sort of tucked away, so we were not in line with the path that the cart ladies with the dim sum walk along. Of course, they also never look towards you when you're calling them over. Needless to say, we didn't get much service. Most people/customers were walking up to the cart ladies to get the dim items that they're looking for instead of waiting for the cart ladies to come to their table. Even when you were successful and able to get the cart lady over, they seem annoyed and don't want to walk all the way, standing about 6 feet away - and yell out "what do you want?!" Well, what do you have??? We ended up ordering dim sum items that we normally don't order, just so that we had something to eat. It wasn't even good and it was cold. Never got to try their shrimp har gow cuz a cart lady never came by but was able to get an order of pork siu mai that a different cart lady had that wasn't stolen from another server. Unfortunately, it was cold and that is usually my son's favorite, but not this time. The food, both times, were okay but kinda on the salty side. We drank a lot of tea to wash down the MSG. Parking was a pain in the butt, parking underground and then trying to find your way back up and then walking around the shops and over to the Hilton side where the restaurant was located. A lot of folks had to go boxes since $3.99 for dim sum is cheap. I normally order extra so that my son has food to snack on, but it was so bad that he didn't want any. Would I try it again? With two strikes already, Perhaps not. Oh! Forgot to mention, the cart ladies sometimes just stand around together chitchatting and I watched one go up to the cart sneaking pieces of food from one of the serving dishes/plates to taste or snack on. It was like fried tofu or something where there's multiple small pieces and not 3 or 4, where it wouldn't be obvious if something is missing. So after witnessing her take food and popping it in her mouth, obviously I'm not order that dish but it's an example how unsanitary they are and disrespectful. Good thing we were done eating. IDK if management knows that they do this or if they're okay with it. read more

Still a solid choice for dim sum after their move to the Hilton restaurant. Wait is reasonable on weekend morning. Do not be confused by some of the signs inside the building, they are located on the lobby level or first floor. Underground parking lot available.

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant since they moved (from cross street plaza) to Hilton hotel. It's been great business for them due to the relatively low prices of each seafood dishes. Therefore, it might feel that they are understaffed or sometimes, you couldn't find the servers easily. The lobster and geoduck are the high-end and signature menu here. With the promotion (in December 2025), it was really worthy to have! I personally visited the restaurant and had those specials 3 times over two weeks. Other dishes that I recommend at this restaurant include: - 台山花菜豬頸肉 - 金湯芋泥 - 松露手撕雞 - 籠子蒸豆腐 read more

As other Yelpers have noted, this restaurant used to be across the street in the Focus Plaza, but is temporarily located inside the Hilton ball room until the Focus Plaza renovations are complete. The location inside the hotel can change so look at the signage and ask the hotel staff if you cannot find it. Parking is in the hotel's underground garage. It is accessible either through the driveway from the hotel side or the entrance in the mall next door. Just watch out not to parking in valet or other restricted spaces--check the signage in the garage. If no restriction on a spot, then park there. We came here for our family's Christmas dinner. It was moderately crowded and average noise level. Consequently, we got the family or pre-fixed meals. We tried to order the cheapest one, but they were out of some items and we subbed some items due to food allergies--they gave us up charges for both even though the out of stock issue was their fault and our substitutions were for items of lesser value. In such cases, other Chinese restaurants have either not charged us extra ((for out of stock items) or charged us less for subbing cheaper items due to food allergies. We have no problem paying more to sub items that cost more, but we feel it is a pretty bad business practice to up charge us for out of stock or lesser value substitutions. Service was not as awful as other Yelpers complained. We did have trouble initially getting a server over to order, but after that they were reasonably attentive and brought the check on time, The food quality was just ok, not bad, but not 5 star. As other Yelpers complained, the cold cut chicken was made raw (very pink and bloody), as is the cultural custom, but is a salmonella hazard and unpalatable to those with more western pallets. The fried rice was not soggy as others have complained, and was just ok. The seafood items were just ok: lobster, abalone, shrimp, etc. Overall, 3 stars is about right. We would eat here again, but it is not at the top of our list. read more

7/10 - This has typically been my go-to spot for dim sum, but my recent visit was unfortunately a disappointment. Because of renovations at their original location, they've moved to a ballroom at the Hilton. While the new space is absolutely grand and beautiful, the food didn't live up to the surroundings. Several dishes arrived cold, and when we pointed it out, one item was clearly just microwaved and brought back out. This wasn't an option for our fried dishes, as the microwave makes them soggy. As a Chinese family, we expect our dim sum to be served steaming hot. read more

Dim Sum is aight - available until 3PM. Used to be $4.49/plate on weekdays and ~$5/plate on weekends but as of 12/25/25 it's $5.59 M-F and $5.99 on holidays. Shu mai, lo mai kai, chicken feet, Tofu pastry, and the yellow crusted bao with pork inside are our faves. I don't recommend their dinner specials, however. Despite their lobster deal being $5.99/lb for 3 lbs if you buy at least 3 entrees, their food are on the saltier and pricier side. And even now, at their new location across the street, with their deal being even better for live boston lobster or shrimp at 99 cents when you spend $40, the food and service is alright. - crab meat w fish maw soup $22.99: a smidge saltier than I liked but still pretty good as it would taste during weddings - beef chow fun $17.99: we liked this the most since it's drier than other places. - beef tenderloin w/ snap peas $30.99: tender meat and sweet peas but pricey - 2 lb? lobster $0.99: garlicky. more soupy than it is saucy. it was alright We got seated quickly at 6pm but it took forever to flag people down to take our order and for the check despite there being a lot of workers; they attended tables seated after us haha... New location feels more spacious but the carpet and plateware could use an upgrade. We'll still come back tho to try their king crab at $25/lb with a minimum $80 purchase. read more
