I've been looking for good BBQ pork buns since I moved to SJ from SF and these definitely did it! The picture doesn't do their size justice at all. Will try their fried shrimp balls next time. They're the size of a fist. The service was fast and there were lots of options. The prices were great too considering how expensive things are getting.

This is pretty much a take out only place. I think there was a small table there with couple of chairs (maybe before the pandemic?). Anyway, do not plan to eat there. The service is not the best, definitely not with a smile. The servers are probably paid below minimum wage or something, they seem to hate their job and treat the customers as a bother. They expect you to know exactly what you want and if you ask them something, it will be a bother to them. I do like their food, but I don't like to deal with the servers. I wish they have everything in a big vending machine... I am updating this place. Don't bother. Why go somewhere to look at some poker/mad face? Instead, go to Dim Sum King in Sunnyvale. Those guys are very nice and welcoming, and good food with reasonable prices! They didn't pay me to say this!

Don't throw food and receipts at people. Beyond rude. And the eggrolls were cold. Steamed shrimp dumpling was a bit mushy. Shrimp ball was good. Go to Dim Sum King for better food and friendly service.

The dim sum is excellent. Shrimp, shu mai, baozi. Very good. The meat on the other hand? Skip it. Duck was oily and gross, pork had a horrible aftertaste. Store also looks unclean

The food that they have and the whole store itself are unsanitary. I bought barbecue fried rice from this store, and there were a couple of strands of hair on the food!!! That is just so gross! It did not help that the cashier was very rude. Absolutely no customer service whatsoever. I would not recommend this store to anybody.
