Reviews
Dim sum brunch with my girlfriend and her sister. The staff brings the dim sum carts to the table and you pick the items that you want to eat. The steamer trays are placed on your table and your dining sheet is stamped for each item you get. Pay at the end a flat price per item. Her sister treated so I am not certain but I believe she said it was $5.50 per order. Basically a large open room filled with tables so the noise level is fairly high with people chatting amongst themselves. There were a few other non Asian patrons so I wasn't the only person there who wasn't Chinese. I expect that we'll return.
Good dim sum during peak holiday hours. This place was packed for lunar new years with about an hour wait despite being a huge restaurant. Spacious seating and lots of natural lighting brighten up the ambiance here. Service is typical, you need to be aggressive to get dishes and items you want otherwise you'll be waiting around forever. Enjoyed the honey walnut shrimp and duck, even though the duck took more than 30 minutes to get.
High quality food in town! Fresh and great taste. All items and fair price. Easy parking
Did ya know that Five Star Seafood Restaurant have a dinner deal "Spend over $35 and get free 2lbs of shrimp"? I just found out from my parents they have a sign in their waiting area about this deal (in Chinese), and you have to ask for it when you order. They don't automatically give it to you. I came here on Sunday evening with my parents, and this place was packed during dinner time. We had to wait for our table but it wasn't too bad of a wait thankfully. We ordered 4 dishes + the free 2lb shrimp, but only got 3 dishes since they keep bringing the wrong dish to us. We had ordered soft tofu with preserved tofu, but they kept bringing a broccoli dish. My parents said the Chinese character for the dish is almost the same so the chef might have misread it and cooked the wrong dish for us so we had to tell them 4 times it wasn't our dish. It was pretty silly considering the order was correctly placed in their machine but it just was the cook making the mistake multiple times. Anyhow the tofu dish is pretty good here, I have tried it previously before. I also really loved their steam fish, Hainan chicken, and soups. They offer a wide variety of menu items so this place is fun to go since it has everything you want. They also offer complimentary dessert. They don't offer complimentary soup though, since my parents said they only offer that for lunch menu and not for dinner menu. The venue itself gives nostagia so I enjoy coming here. The only thing that sucks right now is that this plaza is completely dead so you can't wander after a meal. I remember them having tons of stores but due to remodeling, majority of the stores are closed except for Ranch 99, a boba shop, and Daiso.
Wonderful time, no wait dim sum. Place was huge and great tasting dim sum. Easy to park but construction made it hard to get to the 4th floor, where it's located. I'm pretty basic when it comes to dim sum so if you like the standard flare of dishes, this is a great spot.
