This is a delicious upscale dim sum place in Chinatown (near the Transamerica building). Don't be disappointed if you get there and are expecting a great view, there is no view of the city, but you will have a great view of the delicious food that will be passing by on trollies.
It is one of the most delicious dim sum places I have been to. Even though London and New York have great China towns, I must say this place is one of the best I have tried.
They have a huge selection of dim sum. Many new and exciting dishes tempted my palate. We tried various dim sum: char siu bao (steamed barbecued pork dumpling), shaomai (prawn and pork), char siu sou, shrimp fun roll, chinese broccoli, peking duck and many more.
The value for money was also good. We were a large group and therefore were able to try many dishes, but everyone was definitely full at the end and we paid 20 USD per person including tip.
