About 60% commend the friendly and efficient service, especially managers and certain waitstaff, but roughly 25% note issues with slow service during peak times or banquets, inattentiveness, or language barriers.
Ambiance is frequently described as elegant, spacious, and clean, suitable for both family gatherings and banquets, though the main dining room can be noisy and parking is considered difficult by approximately 20%.
Negative experiences (about 20% of reviews) include strong complaints regarding upcharging, suspected dishonesty with seafood weights, hidden fees (automatic tea and gratuity), poor service in private rooms, food safety incidents (like glass in a dish), and occasional quality inconsistencies at dinner or banquets.
Most believe the food is worth the price due to freshness and taste, but caution is advised with certain seafood promotions and billing practices.

Food
Wide dim sum variety, unique options and flavorful dishes like crispy roast pork and congee. Inconsistent seafood freshness and execution, especially king crab; thick dumpling skins, occasional blandness.
Location
Convenient for the Rosemead/Monterey Park area, but significant parking challenges; street parking often necessary.
Service
Highly inconsistent, from friendly and attentive staff to very slow, inattentive service. Issues with hidden charges, mandatory tea, and rude staff reported.
Value for Money
Dim sum generally affordable, good value. Dinner and banquet prices higher, with concerns about hidden charges, automatic gratuity, and perceived seafood overcharging.
Vibe
Bustling, energetic atmosphere, especially for lunch; large banquet hall style with elegant, gold-themed decor, good for groups. Can be loud, with occasional cigarette smoke issues.
