Lots of good reviews perhaps not many in the area? The dim sum dishes that I got are average at best. The tea is per person as usual, but one tea bag for two people? so 1/2 tea bag if only for one? Dim Sum is ordered as you go style with family gathering. This place only allowed you to order once, if you want more, they will say "no, you can't".....Imagine if you go to a bar, you have to order all your drinks at once for the whole night.

To be honest, the two dishes we had were authentic (i.e. non-Americanized) home made dumplings and noodles. They were fresh, hot and tasty.. not from an H-Mart frozen bag. That is where the positive part stops.
It was a Monday evening, the restaurant was not busy but we were seated right next to another couple. We asked if we could move to another seat and were told there were too many flies at the other seat. I suspect that was true but also the table was an extra twenty feet away from the kitchen and would involve too much walking on her behalf.
The kitchen / prep area of the restaurant was a mess and they never cleared (bussed) any of the tables when people left. There were several dirty tables when we got there and when we left I think there was maybe only one clean table left.. it was very uncomfortable.
Low service in general and not a place we will return to even though the food was very good.

The young waitress there was really rude and ignored us all the time. We just seated and realized that the door is open and wind blowing to us so I asked to switch table, but she said no without giving us any reason. We had to eat in the cold for an hour.
Also the waitress took orders from ppl who came in after us first and we had to wait much longer to get our food. She took the sauce from our table and gave to another table without even asking if we need it. Super rude.
The dim sums are really small sizes compared to other dim sum places and taste just below average. (The shumai is the worst). First time trying here and wouldn’t come anymore.

Everyone once in a while you get that craving for good authentic Asian food. This is the spot. In a plaza with many other great restaurants and even craft beer next door it’s food is worth finding. The group favorites were the pork dumplings, steam pork buns, fresh tea, and scallion beef pancakes. Plenty of indoor seating and food to go or take out available. Happy camper that’s for sure. Cheers!!!

First time here and we "accidentally" spent $100 because the food was so good. LIMITED SEATING. All the food - scallion pancake, buns, dumplings, fried rice, etc. - came out when it was ready which I prefer. We sampled the egg buns and pudding for dessert; delicious.

Dim Sum served ALL Day? This is unheard of. When I read my fellow Elites reviews I had to take their word for it. I had been raving about my first dim sum experience to my friend/ fellow yelp elite at another establishment in Morrisville and we decided to feast on this reserved Juneteenth holiday. Upon arrival I began perusing the reviews on yelp/ Google. My friend convinced me to take the reviews with a grain of salt and try the business for myself. I'm so glad we did because we loved it !
Service was wonderful and we were seated quickly for a Monday after 2:00 pm. We decided on the steamed BBQ Pork buns, Green Chive and Pork dumplings in chili oil, pan fried turnip cake, crispy sticky rice dumpling with chicken, chicken spring rolls, cheese Rangoon wontons, and my favorite the creamy salt egg bun ! My favorites were the green chive and pork dumplings, bbq pork steam baos and cream salt egg buns. Everything was extremely tasty, those listed were excellent. The prices were excellent and we really enjoyed our meal. I was happy that my friend's first experience could be memorable and well enjoyed.
I can't wait to return to try the weekend menu. Unfortunately they did not serve the Hong Kong Egg Tarts which I always look forward to. The creamy salt egg buns made up for it

Visited today with my family of 3 + a little one, and a family friend. Fantastic service from a young waitress, who was bright, sweet, and attentive. The food was amazing, and we particularly enjoyed the taro dishes! Highly recommend to stop by and try this place.

Awesome place for Dim Sum! Go there on a weekend for farmers market Saturday morning and go to East Coast Asian Bistro for brunch/breakfast. Or you can just order beer from the glass jug, order and eat dim sum from the restaurant. Either way its great dim sum! The server is very cute and tries to be attentive but its hard sometimes due to the sheer number of customers. Great family business in the triangle area with quality dim sum!
