  Is it the best? No.
  
  Is it good? Yes.
  
  Listen, you get what you pay for, so there's that. But the quality of the dim sum is decent, because after all, it's dim sum, not a gourmet meal, unless you're willing to pay triple the price at Din Tai Fung.
  
  Is the dim sum better in the San Gabriel Valley? Yes.
  
  Am I willing to drive that far and deal with maniacal drivers? No.
  
  At least the service is good and quick here.
  
  My family and friends frequent this joint, and so do I when I've got a hankering for dim sum. It serves it's purpose and satisfies the cravings.
  
  Live a little. Judge a little less.

  Holy smokes. I won't want to come here for dim sum anymore. Better to drive to Alhambra or Roland Height. Not tasty and it feels like something is "off" compared to other larger Chinese restaurants.
  Not saying the food is bad, just saying it's not like the quality at the Capital restaurants for example.
  One thing is for sure- their dim sum buns are tiny and it takes 2 bites to finish them. Used to be nice when they were bigger .

  My first time trying this place since I was in the area for errands. The dim sum was very nasty.
  There were no line on Saturday Lunch and also the sign showing "B" which I should have expected that the dim sum won't be good. But I ignored it as I was thinking It's dim sum and I'm just gonna get regular items such as shumai, lo mai kai, shrimp dumplings and bao.
  
  As I got to the Table, the cart ladies are bombarding with dim sum and it looked dry and cold. I did order the shrimp dumpling that been brought by 1 of the cart lady and I asked her to change it with hot ones from the cart. The lady was upset and saying that it wasn't cold.
  
  I ordered the shumai, lo mai kai, pan fried dumplings, beef tripe and shrimp shumai. The only dim sum that tasted okay was pan fried shrimp. The tripe was really nasty, very smell liked it wasn't cleaned before cooking. And lo mai kai comes with 2pcs. 1 pc was meh but still able to eat it. The other piece tastes like rotten, very disgusting.
  And then there was the tofu pudding cart. Based on my experienced, i would like to see how's the tofu pudding looks like before I order it because some dim sum places can't make a good tofu pudding. I asked the cart lady if she can show me the pudding, which she did by opening the cover. The pudding was watery so I didn't order it. I don't like the watery texture. And it was so obvious that she was annoyed and start speaking in Chinese Language complaining to the other lady about me asking her and not ordering. I just looked at her and was about to say something back to her in chinese too but... why bother ruining my weekend. The food already bad enough that I just asked for the check.
  I'm Not going back for sure.

  You are essentially receiving the quality of food for what you paid for.  It is a bit cheaper than Royal Garden Restaurant which is only a few minutes away, but there is a noticeable difference with the quality.  Do not come here if you're weak at saying no.  All the cart ladies will bombard your table and if you get easily overwhelmed and you don't know what to order, you can end up ordering a lot more than you wanted.  Make sure to check that they are not charging you extra for what you ordered since it seems to be a common mistake here.

  -located in the same plaza as Quickly and Nice Bakery
  -parking can be a pain in the butt as the spots are limited and it can be difficult to navigate the parking lot due to the narrow lanes
  -To avoid horrible experiences with parking, aim to come here before 11 AM

  If you prefer quantity over quality, this is your place to go.  Most entrees at the dim sum places that I've been to are usually 3-4 pcs per plate; however, I noticed that their pieces per plate were higher than the norm (5-6 pcs) which would allow them to charge a little more than usual.   That being said, it's beneficial for those with big groups to come here, but if you're with a smaller party and on a budget, you're going to be limited with the # of entrees you can get.
  
  Unless you personally see the ladies getting the A-La Carte items straight from the kitchen, I would avoid it as those are not guaranteed to be fresh.  I saw the Honey Walnut Shrimp and got tempted and ended up ordering it.  It was so difficult to finish because it had been circulating around for awhile.  The coldness of the shrimp mixed with the mayo was so disgusting.  That being said, I learned my lesson.  Just stick to the dim sum.

  I'm a bit sad that there isn't too many dim sum places around my area so you settle
  For what is around. This place is decent. They serve decent dim sum. Their siomai is pretty good and so are their tofu, chive pork dumplings and spareribs. I go here because they offer spare rib over rice like the Philippines haha so it brings me back home a bit. Besides that it's just your ordinary dim sum place... all Chinese workers who aggressively have you take the food they hAve in their carts. They place it on your table hoping once you see it you will just say yes since it's on your table already. The other workers (I'm guessing more of the supervisors) are friendly. I go back here because it's the only decent priced dim sum around plus my kids devour the siomai.
