    I really really enjoyed the shrimp fried rice. The orange peel beef was more tangy than I imagined. The menu had a fire emoji so I thought it was spicy, but I guess the fire represented popularity. I thought the orange beef would be sweet. I really like the way they make it extra crispy before they tossed it in the sauce. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice.

    Service is fast. A little outdated and feels very old and sticky. Half of the items are great and some were served cold and no longer warm and appetizing. I saw the other table ordered some lobster and might be ordering that instead next time.

    Personally I don’t think the food is that good we ordered some dumplings they were overcooked and getting them out of the container was not cute. Then I ordered shrimp in lobster sauce and there was no flavor it was more like eggs with flour and water…I’m thinking about returning with my kids and see if we order something else is worth it

    Mom was craving seafood. Decided to revisit this restaurant. It's been a few years since last time. Ordered Orange peel chicken and Crab house specialty style. Orange chicken was nice. Cooked well with balance of orange flavor. It is not spicy compared to others. Mom went with the whole crab. $25.95/lb. Was around 2 1/2 pounds. Pricey for lunch, but it's what mom wanted. Not very much flavor. I think it was a very mild seasoning. A lot of work having to get your hands dirty. There are plenty of leftovers for two people. Beware, they charge $3 for the little dish of mustard and chili that they bring out as you sit. Maybe because they offer dim sum as well. If we had used it, I probably wouldn't be offended. I'm not overly impressed, maybe why we haven't been there for a while.

    We've been going to dim sum here for... maybe 35 years? I never thought to question cleanliness and I think I always saw an 'A' health rating. Maybe not. My daughter stopped for lunch with a friend today and brought some extras home to us. My son, perhaps in a prescient moment, cut a shrimp ball on a sugar cane stick in half. See the photo on Yelp for the result (if you don't bother, just know it's a tiny roach hatchling). Yes, it has legs. I know it's only extra protein, but I'd rather choose knowingly. It will be hard for my family to return. We never cut open our dim sum, but now? I feel a little queasy knowing I ate more than a dozen other assorted pieces before this.

    The Dim-sums were ok. Wish the stuffing could be more. Fast paced eating place. Don’t mind if on weekends the people serving are running around. Loved the idea of getting hot dim-sums at your table, but if you are in a table farther away from the kitchen, most likely your choices will be limited. The hot tea, chili paste/sauce are not free, they quietly add it to the check. Also ensure the check is for your table. Our got mixed up.

    My favorite local Dim Sum in the central west valley. It's- always medium good. Not fantastic, never bad. Great for large groups. Come hungry, waddle out to your car when you are done.

    I've been going here for years and very few things stay consistent. But the food and staff are the same. The food is amazing and very authentic. The one thing that is keeping this from a 5 star is the staff. The staff while not rude weren't very nice either. The design of place is very bland but clean.

    First time dining here. Sunday Dim Sum - so good (shui mai, pork buns, egg rolls, walnut shrimp, fried shrimp balls). Great service. They were already busy just shortly after opening but didn't have to wait. Saw so many other dishes would love to try on another day. Looking forward to many dim sum brunches here.

    Food was decent. Service could be better. We ordered soda and it took 15 minutes because the manager was on the phone chatting with someone.

    Haven't been in a few years. Went for dim sum and it was HORRIBLE! No selection, seemed like the good had been reheated, not fresh. Won't be going back.

    They have gone downhill. Use to enjoy eating frog legs and spicy salted shrimp here. They no longer serve frog legs and the shrimp was bland as is no "spicy salt". Service was horrible. Asked 5 times for a menu as we were not there for Dim Sum. I had to go looking for the server (lady with short hair) to get all my items, ask for check. Then they wanted me to tip $35! I said he'll no! Not with that service. Yes they put it in your tab! You can change that by telling them when you pay. My advice is to go to another restaurant.

    I used to go here all the time. Went there for lunch and ordered one siu mai and one Garlic chicken. Was about $30.00. Dim sum was ok , kind of chewy and the garlic chicken was salty. Not much care in the food. I told the waitress and told her about being salty. Didn’t really care. Like she didn’t care or understand me. Wanted to charge me for chili sauce and tea. Things that used to be complimentary. No wonder why this place was empty at 1:30 in the afternoon. Used to be packed every day. I was truly disappointed in the service and food.

    Honestly hands down the most authentic Chinese food in the San Fernando Valley. I’ve been to many Chinese places in the past 20 years and this one is by far the best!

  • 1/5 Patrick G. 10 months ago on Google
    Was horrible, I really regret going on Father's Day for dim sum. I felt like I practically had to beg to get service when we were first sat down. To get tea, to get chili oil and mustard, I asked for Chopsticks I was never given chopsticks. I am never going again this was my second time to the restaurant I wish I had gone to the Korean Hanoo Kalbi restaurant up the street. Much better service and much better food

    Food was excellent. So nice to not have to go downtown LA for dim sum any more. Staff was helpful too.

  • 4/5 Amber D. 2 years ago on Google
    We went for dim sum and the food was good but the waitress never brought our check and it took forever to pay and leave.

  • 3/5 gene m. 2 years ago on Google
    Limited dim sum selections , poor & slow service, food ordered from was good

  • 5/5 Andrei A. 1 year ago on Google
    If you love dimsum, this is the place to be if you're in the Northridge area. Prices are very reasonable and food is very good. I've been going to this place for lunch and for pickup orders and the food is always cooked fresh and not too salty. 100% recommended.

    My favorite dimsum spot in the Valley. Hargow, chicken feet, shumai, flat noodle shrimp, congee, and more.

  • 5/5 eenc 10 months ago on Google
    Great food, big serving. Great service. Nice atmosphere for big groups.

  • 5/5 Sam Y. 11 months ago on Google
    A&W has been my family's go to spot for 20+ years. If you want an authentic dim sum experience, this is the place to be for saturday and sunday lunch time. We always get their shaomai, har gow, shrimp with rice noodle, sugar cane, pan fried noodle, and sesame ball. So yummy! The people are hardworking and direct. We will always love it here!

  • 1/5 Lennie 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered seafood noodles and fried rice. I've been ordering the same before the flavor still good but this time it is drenched in oil...terrible!! Maybe they have new chef...

  • 4/5 Sylvia L. 10 months ago on Google
    There are less weekday dim sum options than there used to be. No egg tarts during the week. That was disappointing. Not all items are on the cart. Some you have to order from the menu. Food still tastes good! On the weekends the carts come out fast and furious with all the options.

  • 3/5 B “Logan” R. 1 year ago on Google
    Normally, I spend $60 for 2 here. Now its like going to the bar where one spends an average of $120 for two people. Was our go-to place for dimsum, but since it's out the way anyways and with their price hike, it seems not worth the 15-mile drive to the valley. Dimsum is ok, nothing special but I guess that's subjective.

  • 4/5 S.A. B. 1 year ago on Google
    Local dim sum place that offers great variety of food cart options.

  • 4/5 Hanul S. 1 year ago on Google
    It was less crowded at the restaurant since weekday night. Food and service was good

  • 1/5 Ramon F. 2 years ago on Google
    Very disorganized, i came today to pickup take out order and after waiting in lobby for 30 minutes no one approached me or to other people waiting in line for take out. I have been going to this place for years and really dissatisfied with the customer service. I had to leave as I have other things important than this. They can have the food.

    I had the best Chinese food experience here. The food is very authentic and everything came to our table in a timely manner and the service was impeccable.

  • 3/5 Tim V. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is alright. Typical Chinese restaurants with poor service and greasy food.

  • 4/5 Jessy M. 1 year ago on Google
    My family and I were there on the 25th the waitresses were OVERWHELMED! With phone calls and to-go food. The staff were not so attentive but they did bring everything to the table on time.

  • 5/5 Val A. 1 year ago on Google
