Here's what we got: * sliced pork and vegetable soup * braised bean curd with vegetables * peking duck * (my favorite) * Braised Beef with Ginger and Onion * Cantonese style ginger lobster * Shrimp Mango Sautée Dimsum: * Siu Mai w/ Minced Pork * Pot Stickers * Shrimp Noodle Roll Service was excellent! Our server was friendly and enthusiastic as she brought dish after dish, never leaving us short of tea or napkins. She even gave us extra dessert as my father and I really liked it. There's a handful of parking spots outside, not much though. Great for family and friends, lots of seating inside. Good for groups of 2-8. This is one of the most affordable Chinese restaurants I've found, it's super affordable and for 7 people, our bill came to about $250.

The interior is very cute here - the menu is handwritten on a chalkboard and they have stuffed animals on sale at the side. We came here at around 30 minutes before closing time so unfortunately we were only able to get takeout. There was plenty of available seating though and the restaurant was clean and tidy. We decided to order the cold noodles (liang pi) and the yo po noodles which came up to a total of $16. You get to play rock paper scissors with the cashier, and if you win you get 5% off your order. Portions were huge for the price and the food smelled so good! The noodles itself were quite chewy and carried the sauce well. I think both dishes were a tad too oily though, and it also tasted more sour than spicy. I probably won't order these dishes again, but I noticed they serve other interesting dishes on their menu like peking duck pork wraps and pork patties - I might just give it another try when I'm in the area!

Convenient place for a hot and spicy lunch/dinner. Price is slightly more expensive but they also give large portions. Would recommend the standard meal combos over custom orders due to difference in price. Their 麻辣烫（malatang）are a staple, but the pickled cabbage fish casserole left a better impression on me. Though that might be because I had their malatang too many times aha Overall a homey meal, but personally find it a tad expensive for something I could make at home. Would recommend for cold winter nights.

The restaurant is in an extremely old building where everything looks worn out and poorly maintained. The lighting is kept very dim, which honestly feels like it's there to hide how beaten-up the tables and chairs actually are. Instead of elegance, the whole place feels strange and uncomfortable. Even locating the entrance is confusing. Calling this fine dining is honestly quite embarrassing for the price they charge.

Loved the green sauce, used it even with the duck confit dish -Black cod & clam yellow curry (5/5) amazing portion and literally licked the curry off the plate.

The bibimbap was pretty good. They gave a hearty amount of beef and purple rice. There was also an abundant amount of veggies such as spinach, cucumbers, carrot and kale. The sauces were nice and savoury although the red sauce was not spicy enough. It was great that they put the sauces in separate containers so you could pour them to your own liking. The salmon bbq roll on the other hand wasn't up to par. The rice was not regular sushi grade rice and there wasn't that much filling on the inside. The prices were a bit expensive on Uber ($15.99 for bibimbap), however there was an ongoing promo of if you spend $20+ you would receive the salmon roll for free. We ended up eating at their onsite patio and it was a pretty good experience. The staff were super friendly. Overall, would come again but just call on the phone to order instead of ordering off Uber to save a couple bucks.

So amid the pandemic times, the cravings for dim sum were real. Heard about crystal palace but I've…read morenever been so decided to try it out. Ordered: Har gow (shrimp dumplings) Good size, 4 in an order. Average. Shrimp were flavorful. The skin fell apart quite badly even after a cooling period. If you don't know, crystal skins on dumplings bream quicker if you try to grab them straight out of the steamer. We had about 20 min from take out pick up for it to rest and it still broke a part.... Siu mai Pork and beef dumplings were a good size, again 4 in an order. Preferred the beef over the pork. The beef siu mai tasted like a regular dimsum beef ball. No crunchy water chestnut textures though that you usually find. The pork tasted very porky - I wouldn't order this again from here. Lotus leaf glutinous rice with chicken 2 in an order The pork and mushroom mixture in between the rice was very minimal. The flavour was lacking. I thought the rice was the better part of the rice dumpling ; others thought that the meat part was better. Not the biggest fan. Szechuan green paper / eggplant with shrimp paste So the sauce is on point. Nice soy and black bean sauce; not spicy at all. The shrimp paste is your typical shrimp fish ball flavour. It was fried really well. The surprise this time was the Glutinous dumpling with Pork. Fried nicely. The filling was a good balance of salt and sweet. The outside was sweet and sticky. Overall, it was an ok dim sum place. The pick up was fast. The food was hot. Very limited dim sum menu.
