 We… the culinary enthusiast and myself had a small sampling from the list above.

The place is very nice inside very tight on space but accommodations are there for you be able to sit and not be on top of the table next to you.

When you arrive be sure you tell them how many people in your party at that time you will receive a number and then wait for your table. Don’t stray far if they come outside and call your number and you do not respond its NEXT and you have to make a plea as to why the next table should be yours.

Once seated be sure to get the hot tea it is so flavorful and really warms you up inside no matter what the temperature is outside it feels good to drink.

The menu is broken out by section and you can pretty much find everything you are looking for if its not Dim Sum there are noodle dishes, rice and meat dishes in addition to a good variety of seafood.

You will get what looks like a score card to place your order

Items are marked by the number the size something in Chinese and the description.

Simply mark the corresponding number with the number of items you want and sit back and let the fun begin.

The items here are fresh and delicious and they have a wide variety to choose from.

The décor is more get you in and out and not the grand lavish Dim Sum Palaces like most of us have been to.

The wait staff is friendly and right there to make sure you have all you need.

This place stays busy to be sure you are ready to wait a few minutes before you are seated.

Overall:

Clean, Friendly Service, Great Selection

Will be back for sure
