This place is fire. Fresh foods, well prepared. Fast friendly service. Good location. Edifying atmosphere. One of my gotos in NY city.

Great food, service, and atmosphere. This is unique spot in the city with authentic dim sum. The line is always out the door. It’s worth the wait. Come try this place asap

Great dim sum, the staff is friendly! Loved the jasmine tea lager and the house tea. Definitely going here again

We decided to go an unconventional route and have Jing Fong cater our entire wedding, and it was a HUGE hit with all of our guests! We had Dim Sum during cocktail hour, and various courses served family style for dinner, and everything turned out exactly how we envisioned it going. Claudia and her entire staff were so great at executing our day- everything was served on time, and cleaned up so seamlessly that we didn’t really notice any staff the entire time. We absolutely loved working with Claudia and she was communicative answering any questions with our planner about logistics for the day. Thank you again for everything, Claudia- trust your event with Jing Fong!!

They are new to this location, but not to Chinatown. We have eaten here many times over the last 15 years, and every time it has been amazing! The staff is always very friendly and the food is absolutely delicious! This is a unique and authentic Chinese experience in New York.

The food here was good but the waiting was long. We had only 2hrs parking, so it’s kind of too hurry while eating. The servers did help to bring us what we wanted, and that’s good. The bun was delicious.

Food here is very good. Been going here since they opened this location. My friends met here for breakfast around 10:30 on a Friday. Best to come during the week when everyone is working. Service here is very good. Will definitely be coming back to dine in again.

Waiting time is a bit long. But that’s because everyone was excited to eat and didnt mind to wait! Food was great. Staff was helpful. Price is good.

One of the best in China town. I went there on a Friday, lucky it was slow. Food was better all of the other places.

I was expecting a long wait time but they sat us down very quickly and the service was good! We mostly ordered Dim Sum which is what the restaurant is famous for and it didn't disappoint! Everything was great!

I was in the area on a Sunday and noticed a lineup. It was 10:30am so I knew people were hyped about this place. Went back on Monday afternoon for lunch. It was a great time to go. I got into the restaurant fast and was seated quickly. The food was good. I just wanted some small bites so didn’t get to try tooooo much on the menu but the food was good!

Much more upscale than the OG Jing Fang but prices are still reasonable. The food is excellent. Preparation is perfect. Good came out fast and piping hot. I usually go to the UWS but the food here is much better.

Long wait, but well worth it. Authentic dim sum at a fairly reasonable price. Food comes around in carts, so you can see before committing to dishes.

Life-changing dim sum! After eating dim sum in Hong Kong, Toronto, CA, and TX I had started to think that dim sum was hit and miss. This location though managed to do all things at the best quality! The pork pastry was nice and flaky without being overly buttery. The rice in lotus leaf had the best quality ingredients and was optimally moist. The MOST surprising was the sesame ball at the end. The sesame balls are usually filled with red bean and can be overly greasy. I couldn’t believe how light this one felt and the lotus paste in the middle was a unique touch. I thought it was going to be yet another greasy sesame ball but instead it was a life-changing one! I slowed down to enjoy every little bit of it. You maybe able to find dim sum anywhere but it’ll be hard to find a similar place of this quality.

Top notch option for dim sum! Saturday wait time was just around 25 minutes and the food did not disappoint. Special moments included their egg yolk buns (black and gold), the roasted pork pastry and the durian pastry! I am SPRINTING back asap to get my hands on these dishes again! Super reasonable price for a high quality, great ambience and wonderful location. my photos today are a bit too obtuse, it will look even better when you arrive.

Such a wonderful Dimsum experience in NYC!!! They have the trolley to each table where you can pick whatever you want, they alsl have the steam machine in each trolley to make sure the food is hot. The ladies are so friendly and so nice. I love this so must!!!

The waiting queue may appear long, but it moves incredibly fast. The receptionist is also very nice and understanding. If you wander around and come back after your number has been called, they will move you to the front of the line to be seated next. The food is phenomenal as well. Also cheap (for NY).

It was a wonderful experience with mouthwatering delicious food! The pecking duck was particularly juicy, tender and fresh tasting! The salty egg yolk lava buns were the perfect sweet finish.

First time eating here and it was fantastic! Recommend to try some chicken feet! the waitress are so nice, highly recommended Chinese food!

Ordered the lo mein and fried rice. Food was good. The shrimp dumpling were also tasty.

10/10 experience, definitely will be back- some of the best Chinese I’ve had in the city.

First time at this restaurant 😋 and I love it. Service was excellent 👌 and food a 10/10 I highly recommend bacon wrapped shrimp, crab shrimp and spinach dumplings, shrimp and rice noodles. I love them . Pictures says it all. Can't wait till I go back

From the moment I stepped into this charming spot, the atmosphere completely won me over. It's clear that they put a lot of thought into creating a vibrant yet cozy setting. Service was quick, efficient, and friendly, which is always a plus. Now, let's talk about the food—simply amazing! Everything we ordered was delicious, but the standout dish has to be the double crispy fried rice. It's a must-try for anyone visiting. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an outstanding meal in Chinatown!

I love this place, food is just amazing, chicken feet is divine. Sticky rice wrapped is just amazing. Staff are so friendly and the place is clean. the prices are very comfortable. this place invites you to try one of the best Chinese meals in Chinatown. Dim sum is hilarious.

We came on a Sunday evening and there were plenty of empty seats. It was overall a very positive dim-sum-for-dinner experience. The very good ones: Chicken feet Ginger & scallion tripes Bean curd pork rolls Siu mai The good ones: BBQ roast pork buns Roast pork puffs Fried turnip cakes Durian pastry puffs Lava buns Pan-fried shrimp and chive dumplings The subpar ones: Shrimp siu mai —so starchy Sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf — very little sauce in it, and the protein tasted more like pork than chicken Spare ribs — too fatty Shrimp rice noodles rolls — the sauce and the shrimps were fine, but I never had thicker rolls in my life The ordered-but-didn’t-try ones: Fried shrimp balls — did not sound appealing to me Har gow — someone stole mine and wouldn’t admit it I’m partial to BBQ pork buns in general, so I rated them more highly than my friends would. For comparison, the pork filling is sweeter and less fatty than Mei Lai Wah’s. Our group of 4 ordered 17 dim sum dishes, with the bean curd rolls being the only dish that we got a second helping of.

Know it comes with a bit of hype but this is a favorite of ours. You can either go for dim sum on the weekend and wait for 1.5hrs or go for dinner during the week with no wait and the exact same menu - we always do the latter. It’s great comfort food. Bbq pork buns are a must.

+4

fun experience! best dim sum. i love jing fong. expect a 30 min wait on a saturday early afternoon. go to little italy for a quick sangria. enjoy the carts with so many options. the black lava buns with egg custards are a must. every dish with pork is phenomenal. veggie spring rolls are fab.

Me and my wife were regular customers of Jing Fong many years ago when we lived in NYC, and this time came back with my family to eat here for dinner while visiting Chinatown. Delicious food, authentic Cantonese dishes that were warm and fresh. The restaurant's atmosphere was nice, peaceful and ambient. The staff here are very nice and showed their hospitality during our visit. What I really enjoyed about our visit here was they gave us some free desserts like they used to back when we came here as a thanks! Glad to see that this business is still doing well after many years. Overall it was a great authentic and enjoyable dining experience.

Christmas day. Noon. Chaotic as always. Turning away guests to return hour later. Turnover quick. So wait was less than 30min. Food efficiently fast. Ordered crispy noodle shrimp. Dimsum reliable. Usual hargou, shumai, chashu bun, ribs, sticky rice... sesame ball as closure.. Shie shie. Merry Christmas! ------- Miss these HK Maxim style cart dimsums. Worth a trip out to Chinatown. Conveniently located next to parking lot (although full). Servers quick. No designation so call upon anyone. After so many dumplings and dishes, still room for sesame ball dessert. Hot & sour not szechuan. Not my taste.

Today was my first time visiting Chinatown in New York, and I randomly walked into an old-school dim sum place. Surprisingly, everything was delicious! They still use the classic dim sum cart service, with stacks of bamboo steamers rolling by, all piping hot — it really feels like stepping into a traditional Cantonese tea house. 🥟 Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings): Thin, delicate wrapper with bouncy, juicy shrimp. 🥬 Spinach & Seafood Dumplings: Soft, tender skin that doesn’t break, generously filled, fresh taste. 🍲 Chicken Feet, Tripe, Rice Noodle Rolls: All very solid and reliable—no misses at all. Overall, the place looks a bit old-school, but it’s clean, lively, fast-paced, and full of that authentic street-food energy. Prices are quite reasonable for New York. Perfect for anyone craving traditional Hong Kong–style dim sum and wanting to experience the classic “dim sum cart” vibe!

We loved coming here for dim sum. It could get very busy on holidays and weekends. But usually no wait on weekdays. Our favorites were Shrimp dumplings, Siu mai, Shrimp rice noodles, Bean curd pork rolls, and Pan-fried noodles with seafood. That was plenty of food for two and everything was fresh and tasty. Service was efficient and price was fair.

Authentic dim sum and Cantonese food! They were able to quickly accommodate our large party, which included three kids. Fantastic food and service. 10/10 would come again.

Dim sum is still very good. Haven't been back since the original location closed. Service is still top notch, prices are good for Chinatown.

This is a decent Chinese place. It’s good for dumplings and other starters. We tried the lobster with noodles and it was amazing. The service is busy and up push selling with dimplings and so. Overall it was good and I do recommend. Bear in mind that it’s not that cheap for a high street Chinese restaurant.

Rishi Bali

This is the best Dim Sum resturaunt bar none. It is a New York institution and must try!! I try and go all the time. The staff is super kind and accommodative - even when things are busy. The manager Tammy is so special - always walking around and making sure everyone is happy and food is amazing and piping hot. A +

We stumbled into this restaurant and were so pleasantly surprised by how great the food was and the friendly service we received. We had the shrimp and pork dumplings, scallops and shrimp fried rice and really enjoyed all. The quality and taste of the food were outstanding and we can’t wait to go back and try some other things!

The service was great, very attentive. The food was really good. Dim Sum is a big thing with a great variety. We did the shrimp and pork dumplings but did regular menu for mains. The noodles dishes are large. We ordered two but could easily have shared one, unless you're super hungry. Tea is served immediately. We didn't do dessert.

The food is fine, you can find better places in Chinatown. Sometimes the line can be really long, and in that case you may want to go to another place. It’s good food, but not worth that wait. Again, it’s Chinatown and there are many good dim sum places

3/18/2022 Update Jing Fong continues to serve the delicious food they are known for. We ordered the beef filet with Chinese broccoli and fish with mixed vegtables. The steak was perfectly tender with the familiar brown gravy. The fish had many mixed vegtables, yummy and healthy. Jing Fong is back and relocated to Centre St. I had a craving for OG dim sum lunch. They steamed it fresh. My order was ready in 15 min. as I waited. All my favorites were delicious! Plump har kow, beef rice noodles, shu mai, spare ribs, and tofu skin rolls. I also ordered dinner. Crispy Chicken and Steak Filet with Chinese Broccoli. Both were perfectly prepared and delish! Jing Fong may have moved locations but have not lost their food excellence! The space is much smaller than the original 800+ seater on Elizabeth. However, the new L shaped dining room is more casually intimate but still has elbow room between tables. Worth a takeout for the food Jing Fong is known for.

This is by far one of the best dim sum places in lower Manhattan. Although the size of the restaurant was smaller than we expected, it was still clean and tidy despite the large number of people visiting every day. We plan to come back and dine here again during our next visit to the city.

Got take out. I only got 2 things so I will only speak on those 2 The shrimp rice roll was very good, I couldve definitely ordered more of that. The spare ribs were good

It was great the only thing they didn’t say that one of the dumpling had shrimp in it and my friend was allergic- so make sure you ask! (Few times) if you’re allergic to anything

Enjoyed the dim sum a lot. It is a more elevated dim sum restaurant compare to others that are perhaps frequented more by the locals from a value perspective. Elevated meaning a nicer interior decor and presentation of the dishes. I didn’t feel rush here like other dim sum place that deals in volume. Suggest coming when it opens at 10:30am to avoid the long line. As a bonus I got to see the dragon dance during our visit around the Lunar New Year time. Gave it a four and half star due to the price to value ratio.

Dim sum carts!! I’m Cantonese so I’m picky with dim sum. The dim sum here is about 3.5-4 star, pretty great but inconsistent. However, I’d bring my non-cantonese friends here because they still have dim sum carts and the environment is fun and clean.

+2

Food is fresh and very very yummy. Service is so so, wasn't really expecting anything spectacular at least they were not outright rude like in other restaurants that serve the same cuisine. Ambience is definitely a big improvement over the Jing Fong on Elizabeth. Again, cannot stress how good the food is, we did go at a time that it was not busy and it was just us and another table.

Amazing dim sum choices. Good prices. Service is fairly quick. Everything we had from the dim sum menu was great. Good place for a group meal

It was recommended by a friend as the best dim sum in the city. Waiting time was more than 1h. It was packed but not well coordinated. Trolly options were not as diverse as I'm use to in different places around the world. Most of Chinese ladies working there do not speak English so good luck communicating 😂 . I somehow managed to get a soy sauce that's not a standard on the table for some reason. Not too bad in my opinion but my Chinese friends were not impressed at all. Wish I took a photo of all the people waiting in the sun. That's an enthusiasm 🙂

Great authentic Chinese restaurant in the heart of Chinatown. Great service friendly waitress food was great and you get HUGE portions

Jing Fong is a must-visit if you love dim sum. Steam carts bring a varied selection to your table. The shrimp dumplings, shumai, bean curd roll, bacon-wrapped shrimp were all excellent. The only thing I didn’t care for was the almond jelly because the syrup from the canned fruit cocktail overpowered the delicate almond flavor. Prices range from $5.75 for medium-sized items, to $6.25 for large, and $7.95 and up for special items. This is not as crowded as the other dim sum places in Chinatown, probably because of its slightly more peripheral location.

Love this restaurant ! Let’s say, if you are so hungry that you can’t barely wait a second, go to this restaurant. As soon as you make your seat, server will come to you with a cart full of dim sum plates. It’s my second visit, however, I’m still not used to their ordering system. But kinda enjoying how fast they are. Dim sum taste amazing with fair price range. I’ve tried their main dishes besides dim sum, and it was delicious as well. Might feel kind of forcing us to order fast, but you can take your time and get your best dim sum out of that cart! Enjoy!

My first experience eating Dim Sum was quite an adventure, especially considering I don't speak Chinese. I had to learn on the spot how the ordering system worked, but luckily the staff was patient and helpful in guiding me through the process. I chose this particular place based on the excellent reviews I read online, and the popularity was evident when I had to wait for about an hour for a table as a party of two. It's essential to note that this place is usually extremely busy, and being willing to wait or getting waitlisted is necessary. Once seated, I delved into the world of Dim Sum, and I must say that I enjoyed some of the items. The fried rice was particularly delicious, and I appreciated the variety of Dim Sum options available. However, I was left disappointed by the beef balls. The texture was strange, and the flavor didn't resemble beef at all. It was an unfortunate letdown amidst an otherwise enjoyable meal. Overall, despite the initial language barrier and the wait time, my first Dim Sum experience was a positive one. I relished discovering new flavors and enjoyed most of the dishes I tried. The undeniable crowd speaks to the popularity of this place, and it's clear that many people hold this restaurant in high regard. If you're open to trying new foods and are willing to be a little patient, I would recommend giving Dim Sum a try at this establishment.

We haven’t visit NY since the pandemic so it was awesome to come back and to try dimsum again. Happy to see the restaurant still around even though it’s now smaller and changed location. Overall the food was good, staffs were friendly , restaurant was clean. HaoGao was thin skin, beef rice noodle wrap was good but a little thick and chewy for my taste, chicken feet were perfectly tender and seasoned.

Jung Fong is the Chinese restaurant where even the locals come to, this tells you it’s a good place to dine. It looks unassuming from the front but once inside all is just awesome, the decor is tasteful decorated in red shades, enough space to dine in. The service is so quick once one has made a choice from the multitude of dishes on offer. You will be served a pot of white tea which is a nice touch, the food portions are so generous, the food is so tasty, with lots of flavour, so if you want tasty Chinese food this is place to dine

It was good experience for my 1st time to visit in this restaurant. All dim sums are good and taste is the no need to ask and questioning all everything is all good it was great my happy birthday. I’m highly recommend this restaurant.

Pretty good food but expensive. I went w my friend and ordered only a few items and the bill came out to $120+. Very good fried taro triangle. Beef rib didn’t come w rice so I was charged +$3 for a small bowl Massively downsized from the OG huge dim sum hall, but large in its own right. About 13 workers left from reports I read. The only unionized restaurant in Chinatown. Dozens of the laid off workers will be rehired when the dim sum hall at the top floor of the east Broadway mall reopens

It was soooo crowded..put our names in, got a number and was told 25min...everyone was..but waited more than an hour. Small place inside and it was packed. The servers weren't all that friendly. But the food was good.

Came here to try their dim sum. Wasn't too crowded and we ordered several dishes all of which came out hot and had good taste. Food service prices have gone up significantly so be prepared to pay more for less.

The new location is smaller than the original. I got arrived in the original which was huge. The food was excellent and very authentic. Atmosphere was good and so was the service. I would definitely add this place to have dinner. The Peking duck was crispy, the steak was tender, lobster fresh and noodle were terrific.

If you're thinking of dim sum for lunch today, consider this place. Expect a long line, and seeing so many Chinese customers, I knew I was getting a taste of authentic dim sum. I ordered prawn dim sum and xiao long bao(pork) but the server didn't properly relay the information to the kitchen. So manager had to check and process my order, so I had to wait. However, the manager's response made me feel better. If you have some free time, want to enjoy a variety of dim sum, and are looking for dim sum that is also recognized by the Chinese, try this place.

Start coming to this restaurant when they’re still at Elizabeth St. i enjoyed their food, but when they opened/move to Centre st., dimsum is still delicious but other food quality went down, some are too salty, fired chicken is very dry etc….

7 dishes in total (60$) All the dumplings except the vegetable one were good. We were able to see the actual visual of the dishes and pick whether to eat or not. While we were eating, the staff just took the chili sauce and soy sauce without asking 💀 Not regarding the fact that I’m in the us not China, the not-chosen-just-served tea being 1$ per person was a little surprising.

Came here for lunch dim sum time. Better than my expectations, dim sum dishes were not too oily in general. Clean and gorgeous environment. I personally like the ✨❤️‍🔥chicken feet a lot. Color was natural, the flavor was salty but not overwhelming. It was really soft. For the sweet items, the 🖤💛black salted egg bun was my favorite. More things that were good: custard bun, the triangle pork pastry. Others were classic, the only one I won’t recommended this time is egg tart.

Achara Kelley

The overall dim sum experience I had at Jing Fong today was decent and I’ll definitely go back there again. It was quite crowded with a wait time of 30 minutes. So make sure to get there early and when you are not too hungry. What I enjoyed the most was the spareribs. The flavor was spot on. The shrimp dumplings were cold but I can see the potential of being delicious if were hot. I also enjoyed the shrimp, crab meat, and spinach dumplings.

+2

It is authentic restaurant and the food is nice. Not amazing, but nice. The dumpling is good. The tofu is really fluffy, but I would love more flavour. The soup is nice. I didn’t like the service - the staff is talking very loud and standing really close to the costumers. Also it feels like they are talking about you all the time in Chinese. Doesn’t feel nice.

Service is a bit aggressive. We were not given a menu and older ladies give more food than requested. I recommend wrapped sticky rice.

The staff said only 30 mins wait but we had to wait more than 60 mins. They don’t have good system yet. Food was pretty good.

The dumplings were not good at all, the service was fast

I came here wanting to check out a place to eat in Chinatown. They offered free Jasmine tea initially which really set the mood. On the alternative side, there was this blaring pop music playing throughout the restaurant during lunchtime. It gave off the feeling of being inside a dive bar. I had never encountered their “dim sum” cart that comes around before; when it came to my table I had gotten one of the pork ones. It was quite good! I waited for about twenty minutes for a server, which I thought was really strange. Perhaps I was missing an element of the etiquette there. Once my waiter came around I ordered their fried squid and a side order of rice. The rice was warm and the squid was just crisp enough, although it could’ve used some seasonings. It was rather bland so I had to add some soy sauce to it. They give you a LOT of squid for the price; it could’ve fed three people! Once I was done the server put my food into a to-go box which I always appreciate. Additionally, their bathroom was very elegant and clean! Between the loud music and the mediocre entrée, ultimately I do not think I will be returning unless I am visiting with someone else in the city, or unless I want a snack of their dim sum.

Long waits on the weekend but imo very mediocre dim sum. Some of them are cold off the cart. Limited selection - no dim sum sized congee etc. It's not NOT tasty but it's definitely not amazing.

As a group of 7, we waited two hours on a Sunday to get in by 2 pm. I guess it was a terrible combination of timing and group size, because it's a pretty small venue, but even then they nearly gave away our table to a group that arrived after us due to their disorganized system. Anyway, food-wise, nothing was particularly impressive, nothing worth a half hour wait, never mind two hours. I did like their sweet black custard buns, but for everything else I've easily had better at other dim sum spots so I don't get the hype.

I don’t know what happened to Jing Fong. The service was rude but I expect that from Jong Fong. The carts move fast without much explanation, which I don’t mind, but the selection has gone down considerably after moving to this new location. My biggest gripe was that the wait staff was rushing us out of the restaurant and forcing us to give them a tip. A huge turn off!

Great tasting food but the variety is somewhat limited. Additionally, this new location is small and the wait is long. Hostess also quoted 30-40 min for everyone regardless of party size or the number of parties already in line. We ended up waiting for more than an hour before getting seated. That said, the restaurant is very clean for a Chinese restaurant and the staff was friendly.

Authentic dim sum. But need to go early to beat the traffic. Servers are too busy and I could not get my ordered dishes on time. But the dishes were good.

+6

The xiao long bao (soup dumplings) are too sweet and the dumpling skin is too thick I had to spit it out. The pan fried dumplings also had the same issue where the dumpling skin was too thick. Everything was honestly not up to what I’ve expected. Over hyped. I was excited for the Shrimp Rice Noodles but it was also so-so. Probably wouldn’t visit again :( The duck was very delicious though!

Granted it was Chinese new years, this used to be one of my go-tos for dim sum. As I loved their old location, I would return here out of loyalty. Today, my husband and I went there and we had 3 plates. There was a very limited selection and the waiter told me they were so busy with the take out service, there was not enough for guests at the restaurant. No chicken feet (it finally did come as we were ready to ask for our check, surprisingly), a must have for me at dim sum and we also wanted 2 other things on the menu, but we were informed they were not making this day. All we could see were wagons of takeout being rolled out and we felt left waiting. I hope they get their balance together as this has motivated us to look elsewhere.

Yah Yah

The food was great and the management team was friendly. However, our waitress was inattentive, unwelcoming, and seemed unwilling to serve us properly. Her attitude left an unpleasant impression that overshadowed an otherwise great meal. We truly appreciated the kind woman we shared a table with who helped us navigate the menu and offered delicious recommendations. She made the experience much better.

Buster Got it

Dim Sum was very very good, pork bun was so-so. Fried rice and Chow Mein (very greasy) was so-so as well. Service was very professional. Scale 1-10: Food-7 (Dim Sum 9, rest are 5) Price-7 Service-9 Atmosphere-8 Cleanliness-9

Order from here weekly for lunch because the school I teach at is nearby. Today I ordered something new (general tso chicken) and it was soggy. The fried shrimp and chive dumpling also had a very sharp piece of plastic in it. I was eating it and was wondering why it was very sharp and almost cut my tongue. This is a safety hazard - why is it even in the food. Most of the food items taste mid but the dumpling I have been ordering multiple times a week. Will not be eating here again. Gave this place multiple tries but either the food is bland or there are mostly vegetables in any dish you order. This place is definitely over hyped - there’s hardly anyone in there every time I place an order. I have tried both noodles and rice dishes plus an assortment of dim sum (the food is a hit or miss so choose wisely).

The abishumai is very good, but some of the servers and staff need better training. If rude service is part of the concept, the restaurant should not be asking for tips—especially from staff members with unprofessional attitudes.

I went in with an open mind despite the incredibly chaotic and loud atmosphere, just in case the food was actually good as someone in my party had apparently seen it on some show. If you’ve never had dimsum before and have no other comparison, then maybe it’ll be interesting for you. But if you’re someone who enjoys dimsum, then this will be a 30-min wait’s disappointment. Tried some dishes from the cart, even those that aren’t pictured such as the shrimp rice noodles — decent at best, cold and unappetizing in general. The siu mai was the only thing that was not flat-out underwhelming. I’m usually a big fan of hot and sour soup, but my whole party agreed the one here was not it. At least they knew not to trust that show again. The price is really cheap though.

First of all, the food portions were very small! I’ve never seen such a tiny egg tart. Second, the price was different from what was originally agreed upon, and they even forced us to pay a specific tip. I brought a group of students there for a meal, and we had called two days in advance to reserve all the food. We had also calculated the total price, including tax and tip, to be $800. However, when it was time to pay, the owner charged me over $8 extra. I asked if I could just pay the $800 as planned, but she refused and insisted that I pay the tip she specified. Third, the service was terrible. Due to traffic and our schedule, we only had 30 minutes to eat. I called them half an hour before we arrived to inform them of this and asked if they could have the food ready when we got there so we could finish within 30 minutes. The owner assured me on the phone that everything was prepared and there would be no problem. But when we arrived at the restaurant, we waited more than 20 minutes before they started serving the food! In the end, we had to eat in a rush, which delayed our next activity. Overall, the portions were small, the prices were high, and the owner was dishonest (perhaps she didn’t even want our business, thinking that a group of students was too much trouble—but it was a Thursday morning, and there were only two or three other tables of customers). I do not recommend this restaurant at all.

Tasteless and a complete rip-off. Staff also hover like vultures then are rude. We had the worst experience here and to top it all off at the end, my friend found hair in her noodles which she immediately dropped before we could take a picture because we already went through a nightmare of the blandest dishes described below. The place is only good for their dumplings but if you want real food, you might as well go to your local chinese takeout because (1) the e-fu longevity noodles tasted so bad and the “crabmeat” was not there to the point they had to dig around my plate to show me - but that is NOT the only time they dug around my plate: (2) they also had to poke my food to show that the “dried scallops fried rice with baby fried shrimp and nuts” was all there but as you can see in the pictures THERE WERE NONE (just rice and brown stuff) and it was $24. The lady kept putting her finger near my food while the manager was trying to show me these tiny brown thing is the scallops and shrimp but once the manager brought out the dish again, you can tell the just fried onion topping. How can anyone mess up fried rice? We still tipped because it’s really the owner and the cook’s fault but for $84 total that was a night of horrible food we cannot get back. LISTEN TO THE ONE STAR REVIEWS - they are a true account of what really happens here

FOUND FECES IN FOOD. DO NOT EAT OR ORDER FROM HERE. CALLED 311 TO REPORT TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

This restaurant has the worst service I’ve ever experienced. They pressured us to order more food and mocked us when we didn’t order more alcohol. I absolutely do not recommend this place to anyone. Many Koreans visit this restaurant just because a Korean celebrity once came here, but I strongly suggest you go somewhere else. I live in the U.S., and in all my life, I’ve never encountered such terrible service like this. It was truly shocking. All 8 people in our group said they had never been to such a horrible place. To all Koreans considering coming here: there are so many better restaurants around. The food here is nothing special—you can find the same dishes at other places, and even better ones. This is, without a doubt, the worst restaurant I’ve ever been to.

There’s way better Chinese food in the city. Don’t waste your night out. We got the beef rice noodle, sesame ball, beef chow fun, roast duck and snow pea tips with mushrooms. Nothing was hot let alone tasty.

I tipped less than usual because the server kept getting my mother's order wrong. The same server picked up my receipt, said something in Cantonese to the manager while standing right in front of me, then turned back to me and asked me to increase the tip. A friend of mine had a similar experience in the past. If you're also Asian, they won't think twice to cross the line and throw standard courtesy out the window.

They marked up our dim sum price and we only found out when we almost finish eating. The coconut pudding is an S. Some dishes not shown on the menu. I trust them because it is cantonese restaurant but they just make use of our trust to make up the price.

Very disappointing experience. The food wasn't even that good, but the service was the worst part. As soon as I sat down, they kept pressuring me to order specific dishes in Chinese, which felt very aggressive.

Horrible & racist! Me and my mom just finish holiday shopping and headed here which was close by and when we got in we were seated right away. However, we didn’t get no water or menus after sitting for 10 mins. The waiter never came around to give us menus we literally had to ask other workers to do his job. He finally came with the stuff we ask for like water and menu he had an attitude. Once we notice that two other people that just came in sat next to us everybody energy was so different towards them very attentive, the waiter came right away with water for them other workers came by to give them menus and any questions they had they was right there answering. Anyways we get the bill after noticing the energy weird and the waiter now waits right by our table until we pay. Didn’t leave like how he was after we ask him for something he stood there once it came to money though smh. We pay and he say “ what about tip” we look at him and say did you work for a tip ? Do you think you deserve a tip ? He starts talking back to us say we should take out and not come back to sit and eat. The nerve of that man to be demanding a tip and didn’t even give us good hospitality !
