We are fortunate that we live in this area and we go there often. All the foods in a menu are great. Our favorite is of course Dumpling and ShuMai and Fried Rice. Portion is small comparing to portion they serve in Chinese restaurants and not cheap. Lines are always long so you need to prepare to wait for your... More

I came here years ago, waited in a ridiculous line for the weekend soup dumplings...but loved it and have been dying to come back. Tried to come back over the years, but either the line was too long or it was randomly closed. My dad and I came here for lunch, around 11:30am during the weekday and sat within 5... More

We ordered vegetable dumplings, soup (can't remember the kind) and taro buns. Delicious, fast, and not to expensive! Definitely coming back.

I do not profess to be a dim sum expert, but in a recent visit to L.A., a friend insisted that I try these. We were there for lunch and there was no wait, although I understand that this place can get crowded on weekends. There were four of us and we sampled as many different items as we could.... More

We eat here on a regular basis since we have the good fortune to live nearby - the dumplings are the best because of their delicate skin and excellent flavor. The juicy park dumplings are our favorite. We also love the shanghai rice noodles and the vegetables. Service is always great. The only drawback is the long wait on weekends,... More

There's a reason why it's more expensive than other dimsum places and why the wait is long: the quality of the food is EXCELLENT. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. We arrived on a Saturday at 3:30 pm and there was still a 30 min wait. Food is worth the wait. Vegetarian-friendly. Parking is quite a challenge.... More

This place is always crowded and always worth the wait. I eat here every time I come to visit family. I'm vegetarian so I like the veggie dumplings and vegetarian fried noodles, but my dining companions rave about the juicy pork dumplings. The green beans with garlic are also fantastic!

This restaurant has the best dumplings in LA, on the weekends. On weekdays I have found the quality to not be as good. However, on weekdays you can get a table much easier. If you brave the weekend crew, make sure to plan to wait for an hour because there will be a crowd. It is worth it though! Also,... More

The dough is made fresh on the premises. Pork is their speciality. Juicy pork dumplings very good. The juicy pork & crab dumplings were ok...they add a little broth which tasted fishy...my wife and myself did not like it very much...however it is one of their best sellers and we are not Chinese and it is probably an aquired taste....
