Dropped by here this past weekend. We were here last when the restaurant was called King Kong dim sum. We went early so there wasn't a crowd, but as the hour went on the crowd started to form. Overall for dim sum it wasn't overly packed. The service was good. The waitress was friendly and professional. The food was good as well. The dim sum came out fast and hot. Overall a good place for dim sum that is affordable in the area. Next is to try this place for dinner.

The food is a hit or miss. The steamed char chiu boa was good but the sui mai was bloated and the chicken feet was “puffy”, maybe old leftovers reheated? The good is that there is never a wait on a weekend (hmm.. wonder why) and plenty of street. Sometimes less people makes for a nicer eating environment. The bad is that they automatically write in your tip for you. Other restaurants that do this have signage somewhere, on the menu or table, but zilch here. I was surprised and asked and their reply was that they do so “on Sundays”?? It doesn’t seem to be a consistent thing and also there it doesn’t seem to be a set amount that you choose on the machine and appears to be at the whim of whoever took the card. When I did the math, it came out to be 16.27 %. It’s standard and not a crazy amount but I’d prefer to have it be transparent and standardized.
