Props for a restaurant serving daily dim sum in Lowell! And with parking! And the old-school authetic experience of the food in the rolling carts! If you got a craving for dim sum, this is the place. The har gao (shrimp dumplings. Large, $6.95 ) skin was a bit thick and the shrimp did not taste as fresh as they can be. The Siu Mai ( pork with shrimp dumplings. medium size, $5.75) was a bit dense (over stirred) but had 3 whole shrimps. The steamed ribs in black bean sauce was good but not great. These dim sum dishes were rolled around in carts. The highlight of the meal was the special ordered fried dough with rice foon (large $6.95, fried dough wrapped in cheung fun noodle); the fried dough was crispy and the rice rolls were freshly prepared with cilantro and scallions. I think I would travel/come here just for this dish! Disappointing was the special ordered fried taro (medium $5.75); the mince pork stuffing was tasteless and the deep-fried tarp dumpling was dipped in a batter (?) instead of allowing the fried mashed taro to create the wispy crispy outside (either that or the oil was not hot enough or the mashed taro was not sticky enough). Overall it was a good experience albeit slightly pricey. I would return.

Great dim sum, we loved it and I feel it is nearly comparable to NYC dim sum, actually I like their rice roll with shrimp better here. The wait staff were nice to us and made sure to get attention of other staff when we pointed out something different on the dim sum menu and filled our waters . It was a bit pricey but very tasty. My only concern would be to maybe take down the salt in some of your dishes, most were fine though

Lots of dimsum option, service was fast. The food taste was good but was serving cold and we went there before even noon time.

Instead of driving all the way to Chinatown Boston to have Real Chinese food this is def the place. I believe they were the same owners at the one in Boston. Food as expected and delish. Great for dim Dum or your typical family meal order. It def gets packed during The Weeknd late mornings so be sure to get there as early as possible.

No banquet room, but capable of seating large parties. Contact them directly, you may be able to reserve the whole restaurant for a large function. They have on occasion closed the restaurant to the public.

Do they offer xiaolongbao? Soup dumpling...

Cantonese dim sum here, so they may roll it out. You will likely not find the quality as those of Mandarin restaurants. Soup dumplings are specialties.

Why do you serve shark fin soup despite it being illegal? MA Gen. Laws Ann. ch. 130 § 106: Makes it unlawful to “possess, sell, offer for sale, trade or distribute a shark fin.” Please remove from menu or else authorities will be informed.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

There is social distancing, the dining room is enormous so they have the table spread out over 6 feet from each other. You must wear a mask upon entering. They do a very good job with covid safety practices.

I've had their dim sum as early as 11 am, and as late as 3 pm most days. I don't know about the weekend, but it seems like a lunch deal. I will go there tomorrow with a friend (was already planning to) and ask personally so I can update. Update: Dim Sum hours according to their manager are 9am-3pm daily
