Typical, but will return for the service.
Decor, service and food are slightly above average. It’s pleasant, and staff are nice. Food is not greasy. A few dishes could have been hotter.
Loose leave Jasmine tea is nice although I don’t taste jasmine but my taste is not all that sharp anyway.
They slide the menu up front – maybe they expect you to order off it, even there are multiple carts circulating the room – the ladies all dressed in a burgundy color Chinese style top, which is neat and nice. One lady is clearly pretty old whom I found cute: she came to our table, open the covers of the dishes two at the time in her cart continuously until I signal the chicken feet. All the while she utters nothing.
Yellowish 8 River hot pepper sauce is a discovery -:)
Small plates – dim sum we’ve:
韭菜饺Chives cakes – bit cold and the shrimp is overcooked
凤爪Chicken feet – tender
虾饺 shrimp dumplings
烧卖 meat dumplings
肠粉 shrimp rice rolls
煎 Friend stick rice ball – bit cold and very little red bean paste – as most of other restaurants’. But I like their small size.
Temperature is just right – I don’t have to wear a sweater or shawl: thanks for saving the energy.
