This is hands down the best authentic Chinese restaurant in the area. You won’t find anything nearby that even comes close. The service is fast, efficient, and always friendly, and the food is absolutely incredible—truly reminiscent of what you’d get in China. If you’re craving real Chinese cuisine, this is the place you need to visit. I’ve been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. They even still have traditional push-cart service for morning dimsum, which is almost impossible to find around here. A true hidden gem!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

As the only dim sum spot in the area, they do a pretty good job. The dishes were fresh, the selection was solid, and I really liked the old school interior. Overall, I would give it a 4.5.

Hidden gem in Pleasantville! I grew up eating dim sum with my family in Toronto, Philly and the Philly suburbs, then in Boston and NYC later on. The food at this restaurant is very authentic - all the dim sum favourites including shrimp dumplings (har gao), steamed sticky rice in bamboo leaf, shu mai, congee and egg tarts are there. They even have some things that are rare to find at restaurants, like durian desserts. My mother was impressed by the freshness of the food, which we were told by the restaurant staff is all made on site (not frozen). The congee was little small as were the egg tarts. Everything was tasty and fresh when we went on a Saturday morning (typically a busy time for dim sum). They do have the carts (IYKYK) but it’s a bit faster to order what you want off the menu. For those who do not read Chinese, they have a picture menu as well as one in English. The servers speak Mandarin, Cantonese and English. The prices are average for dim sum. The storefront was unassuming, which was what made me hesitant to try it at first, but it is well worth a visit. I took one star off for atmosphere because while the bathrooms are clean, there is no changing table. With my mother’s help we were able to easily change my one-year-old on the counter by the bathroom sinks. We will be back! An added bonus is that they’re right next door to a big Asian grocery mart that we have been visiting frequently.
