"The food was good, and the price was ok. Anyhow, I would not recommend this restaurant if you are expecting good, quality service. The waiters and waitresses were slow. You have to ask for every little thing (hot sauce soy sauce, salt and pepper, water… Usually, when you go to a chinese restaurant for din sum, all the condiments are ready at the table, as for this restaurant, not only do you have to ask for every little bit of condiment, you also have to wait for the waiter to give it to you piece by piece. By the time I got my salt and pepper, by congee was already cold. And by the time I got my hot sauce, most of my dim sum were cold. The manager, PETER, even had the ridiculous mindset to think he can ask me for 15% gratuity as I was walking out the door! I asked him if that was really necessary even if I didn’t feel the service was that good, he then rudely marched to the counter and grabbed a flyer of a special menu that states on the very bottom in very small prints, 15% gratuity is recommended for a party of 10 or more . However, I was there with only one other friend, which makes the 2 of us with bad, rude service. I felt like I was being panhandled for money, just like how homeless people would approach me in the streets for some change, but it seemed unnecessary for a known restaurant. After I said the service wasn’t too good to deserve 15%, he told me how the restaurant was rated in the top 100 of best restaurants. UH…Mr. Peter, the ignorant manager might have forgotten, but the review and rating was for the year 2004! Try to get the same rating for this year! Other than poor management, everything was toleratable, but I will not ever go there again, and I don’t recommend it to those who dislike being panhandled."
