After a few visits since 2020, this place has been consistently good food for the price it has to offer. They have a decent variety for Dim Sum, but I wouldn't say they have the best Dim Sum in SLC. They have a pretty solid Lunch special, and it's worth going for that. The service is fine, they are attentive when needed. The environment is fine, only certain sections of the restaurants are available for seating, though it seems they can take a pretty decent crowd of customers. They have good Siu Mai and Beef Tripe.

Food is always yummy. For delivery, their food is packed well.Dim sum on the weekends is great.

Was not bad when we visited. Not a lot of people at 3:45 pm Will try again . Next time get pics for all too see.

This restaurant has all the vibes of a Chinese restaurant. It may look a Tad rundown, But it's a great restaurant, and a Chinese favorite! The food is simply delicious ! My grandson loved the pom-pom chicken so much that we came back the next day! I on the other hand, love the beef and oyster sauce! It's perfection! I had a bite of his pom-pom chicken and boy did I have to agree with him. It was awesome.! The lunch special comes with egg, drop soup, my favorite, and the hot and sour soup which my husband says is the best ever! There's a shrimp and an egg roll, and the price is $8.95! What a bargain in this day and age and delicious on top of that! There are two waiters who try to keep up with all the customers ! They are very nice.

I always drove past this place headed south on State and always thought it was closed but na they open Looks can be deceiving cuz it's hella big inside Anyways it's probably the best dim sum on State street unless you got a better spot (and yes I said best cuz i haven't tried that other place across from McDonald's up the street) The chicken feet was aight and they take apple pay K bye
