I’ve heard such good things about the Renton location; so we were so excited to hear it was opening up a little closer to where we live. We finally got to try it out! It was just okay….they’re probably still working out the kinks. Service was very friendly! We saw that everyone was working very hard and as quickly as they could. But the food just came out really slowly. We had to cancel a couple items just because we didn’t want to wait any longer and were basically full from what we got. Food was fine. Some dishes came out lukewarm. We like our dim sum; and any food for that matter, very hot. None of it seemed very hot. As much hype as we heard about this place, it didn’t really meet our expectations. We got sui mai, shrimp balls, tripe, sticky rice, this truffle Xiao Long Bao, meat ball, eggplant/shrimp dish. All were just okay and nothing spectacular. For the wait and hype; probably not worth it. But we’ll probably come back later after, hopefully, they work out their service issues.

So, let's break down this review into separate categories. Food and prices: As far as food, what we ordered and tried were all good. No complaints on food. Portuguese egg tart is good, so is their matcha custard bun. Portion sizes was reasonable. We enjoyed the rice roll with chicken feet and ribs the most and kids liked them as well. Service: People are nice. They brought out things we need and the tea pretty quick. I like their ordering system if it actually works flawlessly as intended. Wait time: When we were there, the wait time was crazy long to get a seat and we know why. We waited over an hour on Sunday noon. When people order from the tablet, there's some miscommunication and some food items doesn't get registered and is not brought out. It seems to happen to a lot of table, it happened to the 3 table around me and my table too. So when people sit around waiting for food that doesn't come, the waiting time gets long and the wait-list for people coming in also gets backed up. I will still come back since the food is good, but we'll be more aware of the wait time and come on a weekday to see if it's any better. Remember that dim sum is offered only for breakfast/lunch time, and not on dinner.
