Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive along 8th Avenue; expect to circle during peak hours. Paid lots are scattered nearby but can fill up on weekends.
Dress code: Smart casual to dressy-casual. Jeans are fine, but many guests dress up for celebrations.
Noise level: Lively to loud — conversations are easy at your own table, but it’s not a quiet dining room.
Weekend wait: 45–75 minutes without a reservation, longer for large groups.
Weekday lunch: 10–25 minutes, often quicker before noon.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several vegetable dumplings, tofu dishes, and greens are available.
Vegan options: Limited — a few vegetable-based dumplings and stir-fried greens, but no fully dedicated section.
Gluten-free options: Limited — rice noodle rolls, steamed proteins, and simple seafood dishes work best with guidance from staff.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual daytime brunch dates than intimate first dinners — the space is big, bright, and energetic rather than romantic and quiet.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but expect a real wait on weekends or during peak dinner hours — reservations are strongly recommended for groups of six or more.
Is it kid-friendly? Very kid-friendly — high chairs are common, strollers fit easily, and the fast-moving dim sum format keeps kids engaged.
Best For
Better for: Large celebrations, bright Instagram-friendly interiors, and banquet-style dim sum experiences with space to spread out.
Skip if: You’re looking for an intimate, quiet dim sum meal or a fast in-and-out weekday bite — smaller neighborhood spots are better for that.
