Outstanding dim sum (all we ordered) in an elegant setting, with highly attentive service. Tai Pan pays attention to the quality of their ingredients, and the dim sum is freshly made to order, not mass produced. This combination makes for an excellent dining experience. The baked BBQ pork buns are a standout - probably the best I've had: well flavored (not overly sweet), lean meat in a fresh baked, delicate bun. The XLB is also exceptional - thin skin that packs a bundle of flavor (especially the ginger) in a generous serving. The stir-fried beef he fen (rice noodles) has just the right amount of flavor (good restraint on salt), with quality beef that's tender. Couldn't ask for better. The chang fen (glutinous rice flour wrap) is made with the kind of glutinous rice flour that delivers an authentic mouth feel (soft). We loved the 2 gao dishes we had, both with seafood & greens. The shrimp & chives gao was fabulous, perfectly flavored, and a (large) mouthful. The only 2 dishes I wouldn't repeat are the pan fried stuffed tofu (tofu is too bland, and the wheat flour coating is a bit too tough - they should try rice flour), and the sesame balls (they're OK - not extraordinary). This place delivered on the promise of an elevated ambience with truly attentive service. We never needed to ask for more hot water in the teapot, and had fresh napkins handed up just in time. The tea (Jasmin w chrysanthemum flowers) was really good quality. All the details were seen to with care. Despite the premium pricing, we would return and would highly recommend this restaurant.

Amazingly attentive service every time we visited! Nice decoration and really made us feel dining in an upscale Chinese restaurant. Food: fresh ingredients with appropriate seasoning made delicious dishes! One word to describe: yummy!!! Great place for banquet and casual dining.
