We have been here years ago. A lot of times we came twice a week. And this place is holding the same: delicious Cantonese Dimsum. Which means they are one of the best dimsum restaurants in the neighborhood. Perhaps, for me, one of the best in the city.

Top quality, service, & pricing Take note that this venue is divided into 2 locations. I’m reviewing the ground floor dining and not the 2nd floor banquet hall. Mainly Cantonese cuisine. $20 for a 1.2 Lb lobster. Can have it either steamed, wok fried, or cooked with ginger & scallion. We ordered 3 styles and all were delicious. The duck comes either regular roasted or with a bit of honey roasted. Both are excellent! This is my top 5 spots in Flushing. You also can book the VIP private room for a minimum spend of $600, seats up to 15 people. Great place for dim sum on 2nd floor, no tip necessary or service fee for dim sum days. $4.25 for small, medium, & large.

I have to admit that it couldn’t match what it was before the pandemic. The price was not bad but the food went downhill…..

Got dinner here. Food was not as good as other comparable places in the area, and even some places on long island. Major complaints were the lamb chops being way too salty and the geoduck being very fishy and not fresh. Service in the private room was fine, but the waiter was not as attentive as other similar restaurants.
