Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; can be tough during peak weekend hours on 8th Avenue. Many diners rely on walking, rideshare, or nearby bus lines.
Dress code: Smart casual to casual — jeans and sneakers are completely fine, but many guests dress up a bit for celebrations.
Noise level: Loud during peak dim sum and dinner hours — expect high energy, cart traffic, and banquet-table volume.
Weekend wait: 30–60 min without a reservation during peak hours
Weekday lunch: 10–20 min typical, sometimes no wait off-peak
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several vegetable dumplings, stir-fried greens, tofu dishes, and rice/noodle options
Vegan options: Limited — a few vegetable-based dishes without egg or dairy if you ask the staff
Gluten-free options: Limited — steamed seafood, plain roasted meats, and some rice dishes work, but soy sauce is widely used
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual, food-focused dates than intimate conversation — it’s lively, bright, and social rather than romantic and quiet.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes during off-peak hours, but weekends and holiday dinners often require a wait unless you reserve in advance.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — very family-friendly with large tables, high chairs, and familiar dim sum items kids usually enjoy.
Best For
Better for: Large group celebrations, family feasts, and classic dim sum experiences with full cart service and banquet-style seafood.
Skip if: You want a quiet, intimate dinner or highly refined fine-dining seafood — this is more about volume, energy, and communal dining.
