    The speed of delivery is incredible, even for a Dim Sum joint, but unfortunately the cart selections are just OK. With the exception of the har gow, the shu mai and the dumplings were too sweet for our taste. And they don't serve turnip cake! The rice cakes were very good for dessert.

  • This is a great place to go after the clubbing/dancing. The fried calamari, friend rice, peapod stem in garlic sauce, clams in black bean. This is great eat after so many drinks and to sober up before driving home.

  • Where all the drunkies of Boston go at 2 am. Hilarious environment. Food is just what you want when you are inebriated.

  • Best dim sum I've had in Boston, though does not compare to New York or Philadelphia...

  • Go upstairs for a nonstop parade of tantalizing dim sum. A hint: check out the pictures on the menu first.
