Very rude service, especially a woman looks like owner. Basically, She threw the dishes on the table. Plus, soup dumplings were really dry. It was just awful. I was super disappointed. She destroyed my philly trip. What was funny? She requested tip brazenly. Never come back again. Shame on you. There are many dumpling places in the china town. Go to Dim sum garden.

Avoid this place. Very bad service topped with less-than mediocre food. The soup dumplings (xiaolongbao) are parched-dry. They are supposed to be filled with juicy "soup" inside. The middle-aged female who seemed to be an owner was very rude. She spoke no English but made clear she didn't like us when we ordered small portions.Go somewhere else. There are plenty of other good restaurants in Chinatown.

Excellent dim sum. Cheap prices and great portion sizes (especially for the 干炒牛河, only 7.95 for a monster plate). Bathrooms were clean, and the staff was really nice. The carts make their rounds fairly frequently, but the staff aren't pushy like I've seen at other dim sum places - they don't interrupt you every two seconds asking if you want something.

Traditional dim sum restaurant with real authentic old school feel. Dim sum were quite good with a nice diverse selection and priced well.

The very best dim sum I've had in Chinatown so far. I appreciate selecting from a cart and not having to wait for the kitchen to prep individual orders or however it's done. Attentive staff and fast service. Will definitely visit again before I leave this city.

My fav spot for tasty Chinese food. Certainly a top place in the area. Service is consistently good. It has a great interior. Similar to a cafe in Las Vegas I liked.

This restaurant was awful and the staff was the worse I have ever seen. We ordered four dishes, and waited three hours for only three dishes. Three dishes costed $75 and none of them were even amazing. Definitely not recommended for anybody to go to.

Wonton soup was good. I asked for hot tea but never got it. 🤷

Dim Sum is worth it! So many options. Many carts. Different assortment, from soup cart to grilled items table-side. Many option. Mire so than Imperial Inn (my #2 spot)

Great dumplings/dim sum and other dishes! Rice was really good, the bok choy in garlic sauce sounded weird but man that was really really good (a friend said to try it and I'm glad we did). Dim sum prices were competitive and really good. Like other places, they didn't have everything on the menu because they run out I get that but it would be nice to be able to have them all. Only 4 stars because we did have to wait a long time to get seated when there were plenty of open tables, waited a long time to get drinks and a long time to get the bill. But food was really good and I would eat here again!

The website says they are open and so does google but after a hour drive, we found out that the resturant is no longer open and has become a furniture and decor store.

Great dimsum, wide selection and reasonably priced.

Our go to place for dimsum in philadelphia. Now I only gave 3 stars because of the poorly maintained bathrooms. But I would rate their food 5 stars due to it’s affordability and taste. The management needs to really have a good look into the bathrooms though. Do not go if you can hold it in!

Bad to average dim sum. Staff could not possibly be less engaged. Asking about anything was impossible. Customers were wandering around to find the carts where they had been left in the aisle. We were looking for a successor to The Imperial Inn and this restaurant was good back in the day, but it was dreadful on this visit.
