I was starving and looking for soup dumplings. I found this place on Google Maps. I got two items. The soup dumplings and the Peking Duck buns. They were equally disappointing. The soup dumplings had not flavor and no soup. The Peking Duck felt more like HK style roast duck, with no crisp on the duck, but fatty. It was disappointing because I was in the middle of Chinatown. I expected better. The service was quick and fast. I spent $27.50 for two dishes and a pot of tea. Don't recommend and not worth the price at all. Go to other neighborhoods like Irving Street for better, more authentic Chinese food!

Dimsum place next to Portmorth parking garage in China town. This restaurant spellcialized in peking duck. They only serve dinner Friday and Saturday. Other days just lunch. We arrived around 1 pm and there are people waiting. The restaurant interior is nice. Menu is simple for dimsum. The dimsum dishes are commonly found in all dimsum place. We ordered lo mai kai, string bean, XO rice noodle, chicken feet, fried glutinous ball, and pan fry turnip. The order was ready pretty quickly. The dishes are ok. The highlight is the green beans for me. The rest are average. The XO rice roll is a bit too sweet. Pricewise may be on the higher side as this is Chinatown where you can get cheaper dimsum somewhere else. We cannot really compare as this is restaurant and other cheaper dimsum place around Chinatown is not as nice as this one. One thing that I am not aware of is there is 5% mandatory charge which I never aware of. If you gave 15% , it is like you give 20% granularity.

From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere feels both inviting and refined — a seamless blend of classic charm and modern polish. The duck here is nothing short of extraordinary — crisp, golden skin giving way to tender, flavorful meat that’s perfectly seasoned and expertly prepared. The soup dumplings are delicate and artful, each one filled with a rich, savory broth that captures the essence of authentic dim sum craftsmanship. Service is another standout. The staff are gracious, attentive, and knowledgeable, striking just the right balance between warmth and professionalism. Each dish arrives with thoughtful timing and presentation. In a neighborhood filled with culinary treasures, this spot manages to rise above — not through flash, but through consistency, care, and excellence.

I thought the food was pretty good for the most part but a little pricey for dim sum. My favorite thing though was the garlic green beans, omg so addictive and perfectly crisp and flavorful. The scallop shumai and stuffed eggplant and tofu were very good. Taro puffs were just ok imo. Restaurant was clean and the service was great.
