Walking in, I immediately noticed that the waitstaff were speaking in Cantonese with Cantonese customers! HELLO MY PEOPLE! I was there for dimsum and had:

2) Har Gow - decent sized dumplings with translucent skin and nicely cooked shrimp!
3) Law Mai Gai - sticky rice filled with chicken and pork, wrapped and steamed inside a lotus leaf. This was very well-prepared!
4) Don Tot - these were still warm when they were served; the crust was flaky and the custard filling was sweet and eggy.
Everything was legit and so good! Dimsum here definitely satisfied my craving, and I found the price tag to be fair. They also serve other Cantonese dishes (steamed fish, roast duck, Chinese veggies), and they all looked very good. I'm already planning to come back later this week!
