Visited: January 2011, Dinner, Take-out

We got a number of things to try, and overall, it was okay.

The Pork Shiu Mai (4, $2.55) were very large and had shrimp mixed in, but were kinda plain. Sometimes when the shiu mai are that big, I'm wary if they're cooked all the way through, and the pink shrimp color wasn't helping.

The Shrimp Har Gow (4, $2.55) were also nicely sized, and all shrimp. The skin was pleasant, however leftovers the next day, the skin was rather hard.

The Chicken Feet with Black Bean Sauce ($2.55) was a nice portion size, maybe 5 feet or so, but bland. They were tender enough, but the black beans were like rocks.

The Fried Potstickers (3, $2.55) were really fried (not just pan fried and toasted, but kinda dark and deep fried), and filling didn't have much taste. I prefer potstickers to come with a soy dipping sauce, but these came with a reddish spicy thing.

The Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf (2, $3.95) were very tasty and lots of bits of meat in it. They just required a bit of patience to eat cuz the rice stuck to the leaves, a lot.

In addition to dim sum, they serve some noodles, congee, and noodle soup.

They also have Rice Meal Combos, but instead of a combo, we ordered a plate of the Salt & Pepper Pork Chops. Nice texture, but a little garlickier than we're used to.

I doubt we'll go back unless to try some of the other items on the menu.
