This place seeks to bring you back to old Shanghai- the chandeliers, the stage where the band performs, everything about it just feels like this is not a typical Chinese restaurant.
Other than the atmosphere, the dim sum was pretty average. The Siew Mai ($4.50) was my favourite of the lot with juicy fillings.
The Egg Tarts ($1 per piece) are a far cry from what any good egg tart should be like- the egg yolk didn't melt instantly and the crust did not have the aromatic buttery kick to it.
We ordered Steamed Crabmeat Dumplings ($8) but couldn't really taste the crabmeat.
The Braised Ee Fu Noodle with Crabmeat ($22) was moist and pretty good.
The Crispy Pancake Stuffed with Red Bean Paste ($12) was average.
I wouldn't recommend getting the dim sum here because for the same price, you can get something better elsewhere. Service is nearly non-existent during weekend lunch hours.
