  I'm laughing at the other reviews about their poor service and it being too busy. Clearly you've never experience dim sum at it's finest. Going in, I knew I should be expecting some waiting, people running back and forth, and little old asian ladies yelling out what they're carrying. And what do you know, it's exactly like every other dim sum place in Chinatown and elsewhere.
  
  Aside from that, I give their food an A for Average. I did find that some of the cart ladies would go out their way to personally bring you some of the items if they ran out in their cart. The waiters were clearing away the empty containers pretty quickly so I give them props to that. However, you should also expect them to ignore and forget some things you ask for.
  
  I am most happy that I now don't have to drive into Boston for dim sum and there's plenty of parking (since they're located inside a plaza).

  Great food, but it isn't the most Joyful of places.
  
  Employees are fast and expedient - typical run of mill Canto service. Canto + East Coast hustle means you must expect hardcore parkour  transactional customer service.

  Fair place to have a quick Cantonese style brunch.
  
  Lots of dishes were provided, but barely had service.
  
  The taste of the dishes were considered mediocre comparing to other Cantonese brunch restaurants.
  
  Anyway, not a bad choice to visit.

  i came here based on a recommendation.  i was really disappointed.  the turnip cake was served to us, COLD.  this was the very first time i ever received COLD turnip cake in my life.  i requested the turnip cake to be warmed up.  it was over microwaved to a texture of mash potatoes.
  the chicken feet and shrimp noodles were well made.  the shumai were decent.  the egg tart was not worthy.  the jello dessert was good, a bit sweet for asian dessert.  
  everything we ordered were a bit salty.  not a fan, will gravitate towards the malden establishments.

  I just wanna start off, they have the coolest bathrooms. Well, not the stalls itself, but the sinks. Each sink has an individual hand dryer, which I've never seen before in my life.
  
  The food was pretty average, I expected everything to be better. The ladies that push the cards were a little bit aggressive, trying to push every dish on us. I wasn't too impressed by the variety, as almost every car seem to have the same thing over and over again.
  
  There's plenty of parking, but once I got to around 11 AM, there was a huge wait outside of the restaurant.
