This place is so good. Don’t be fooled by the unassuming local exterior — they take both their food and customers very seriously, and it has become my number one dim sum place in HK.

Service: friendly, attentive, conscientious - all customers are provided with hand sanitizer upon arrival, and also given a paper bag to store their masks in. Eating utensils are packed individually, it really provides comfort and relief that the staff take hygiene precautions during the coronavirus pandemic.

Food: WOW!! The quality of each dish is incredible, the dim sum here is MSG-Free and you can tell a lot of thought was put into each recipe. Portions are also generous - most places outside that serve har gao 虾饺 and shrimp toast 虾多士 usually give you just a little bit of shrimp, but here the shrimp is GENEROUS.

I’d also like to mention that despite all the deep fried items that are typical of dim sum, this place does a good job of doing it clean - I found that even the fried shrimp toast, which is often soggy with oil in most places, was not oily at all - a very pleasant surprise, and again goes to show they’re mindful of preparing their food with care.

I got the deep fried ice cream for dessert and that was incredible - the cold sea salt ice cream enclosed in the warm fried batter was just the right balance, and also loved that the sea salt ice cream had a nice milk flavor and not overwhelmingly sweet.

Hopefully this place continues to thrive as business has been rough all around with high rent and people staying in because of the coronavirus. They really serve some of the best dim sum in HK, and it’s great to see a local establishment doing its best on all aspects. Will be back for sure!
