Old Street Dim Sum and Hot Pot

The quality and temperature of the food change. The congee wasn't piping hot like it normally was it was also missing ginger. I had to personally go up to ask for ginger. At first they told me no ginger. Then they gave me sliced ginger. It was just warmish. The steamed shrimp rice roll on top was cold and the bottom was warmish. The fried chives shrimp dumplings were also warmish.

They charge everyone for hot pots even if there was only one person doing hot pot and the rest was eating dim sum Employees have some communication issues. They dont explain things clearly Food was good Service was a little slow. Dim sum was fine Soup dumpling was ok

Positives first: the booths are private; the digital menu is convenient; and the selection of dim sum dishes is numerous. All you have to do is tick off pictures of food on the tablet and the items are quickly brought to the table. Very tech modern. The problem with many of the dishes is that they were drowned in sauce, which made it super salty and near inedible. It would have been better to have served the sauce on the side. The soup dumplings (xiaolongbao) were also too salty and the skin was too thick. Still, the Chao Zhou style steamed dumplings and steamed sticky rice weren’t bad. All in all, very average dim sum.

I wasn’t expecting the restaurant to be so beautiful inside! The booths in the middle were very private with the way the layout was, and they had a nice party room in the back with individual hot pot stations. I liked that we could do two broths at the same time, because my fiancé loves his spicy, but I just like the standard pork bone broth. The prices were reasonable with all you can eat hot pot at $49.99 a person. We also loved everything we had from the dim sum menu, with a new favorite for being the rice roll with beef! Everything came out quickly despite being a busy Friday night, and I don’t usually love ordering off of iPads, but it made sense in this case because everything was photographed and you could scroll through the whole menu. I would definitely come back here again!

I thought the food was good, a fair selection of items. I enjoyed the food here.
