Very nice restaurant decor, excellent service and delicious food. Convenient location at the border of Chinatown. We had dinner that included Peking Duck, a pork appetizer and seafood main with fried rice. All cooked to perfection. Highly recommended. Dim sum is only served mid-day, so will return to try it out.

It was fabulous, but if you want to eat here, make a booking. We couldn't get in the first time (no booking), second time with a booking just the night before was a charm. A few questions we asked about the dumplings (such as ingredients) couldn't be answered by one of the servers, but the rest were terrific. The food was awesome, some of the yummiest yum cha I've had.
