Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The dim sum is outstanding and the mock fish dishes are works of art. Service is fast and friendly. A true gem in Chinatown.

Authentic Chinese Buddhist cuisine with incredible mock meat dishes. The orange chicken fooled my carnivorous friends completely. Generous portions and reasonable prices. The mapo tofu is exceptional.
