super solid dim sum for a reasonable price! Recommend XLB and har gow:) portions were great and the only miss were maybe the sesame balls - they were just a bit bland and greasy that day. It's pretty clean and quiet inside with a self-serve, modern feel rather than your traditional dim sum restaurant.

The staffs were friendly. Ordered siu mai (4 pieces), soup dumplings (4 pieces), and short ribs via kiosk. You can dine in or take out. There's places to sit however, the place is usually packed during the weekday because of the college students. A little over price but, if you want convenient dim sum, it is good. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5

I'm of 2 minds about the place. The plus is the dim sum is proper dim sum. Same as you would find at any dim sum place frequented by cantonese folks (dim sum is Cantonese. It's not a thing in the rest of china). So thats the positive. But for dim sum, its just mediocre dim sum. Timing is important in this kind of food and much it seems to have been made ahead of time & kept warm. Its hard to get the timing right for a near fast food place like this one so I understand & I'm happy that this place is here and it specializes in one thing rather than bring a generic Chinese place with fried rice and beef & broccoli. But within the dim-sum sphere, it's 3 star.

Peach Jasmine tea is awesome and you can't go wrong with soup dumplings. Lots of seating available.

Still a solid place for self service dim sum. Saved me many trips to Chinatown (where the dim sum is mediocre these days), and I like that you're free to not order hot tea (which is not possible at traditional dim sum places where they often charge per head for hot tea even if you don't want hot tea). I noticed they have a Long Island City location listed on the takeout form, asked about it - apparently it's a new location for takeout pickup.

Stopped by here on a whim last Tuesday for a quick bite before a late appointment. Was pleasantly surprised with authentic delish dim sum at reasonable prices. We only had time to eat a few things and ordered S4 Sticky Rice Wrap, S11 Soup Dumplings, R5 Steamed BBQ Pork Rice Roll. Our favorite was the rice roll - so what a flavor pop! All (3) chooses were fresh and tasty. Way over our expectations for a fast food dim sum place. We are planing on going back soon!

For fast casual, I didn't know that we would get such good quality dim sum! This is what I would expect from actual dim sum places. The service is really quick and I love that you're free to just pick and choose what sauces you want. Honestly, perfect for when you want to get dim sum for takeout.
