Very decent yum cha with a rich variety. The food tastes really good. We came at 10:30 sharp, and seemed to be the first patron but they forgot to open the door.:-) One minor thing about the food is the dumplings are a bit over steamed. So it is a little hard to pick up in whole. Otherwise, everyth
