| Location | New York: Brooklyn |
A very large dim-sum restaurant located in the southwest corner of Brooklyn. The area around seems to be a pretty big Chinatown. It was really packed the day I went (although I did go on a Sunday which was Father's Day, so my experience is likely highly skewed), yet somehow we were seated almost immediately with a party of 12. I found the food to be mediocre, and most of the dishes weren't cooked super well. I would not recommend this restaurant. We were actually planning to go to East Harbor Seafood Restaurant (which is supposedly one of the better dim-sum places in New York?) but it had a one hour wait, so we came here instead.
> Even if it seems like there are a lot of people, they seat you very quickly. We had a party of 12 on a Sunday at 1 (which is one of the most popular times), but we were seated almost instantly.
> Seems very reasonably priced. I left feeling relatively full, and yet I only paid $13 total.
> As a whole, the food is mediocre. The flavors are not quite there, particularly for the chicken feet, spare ribs, radish cakes, rice noodle rolls, and char siu buns. Most of the meats are also pretty tough, especially the spare ribs and other ribs. The shao mai and the crystal shrimp dumplings were pretty good though.
> Pretty far from Manhattan, around a 50 minute train ride from most places in Manhattan. It is located right next to the N train 8th Ave station though, so it isn't too inconvenient. Could be a nice place to stop en-route to Coney Island.
