“ This place brings back memories of when i was a kid and my dad brings us for Dim Sum either very early in the morning or very late at night. One of the key things of this dim sum place is that it may not be the best in terms of quality but it is delicious that carries a hint of local taste. It serves steamed dim sum so don't expect to find any fried ones here. the Char Siu Pao is a definite favourite of mine. If the staff isn't lazy, you will see Lor Mai Kai being flipped mid air while the bring it to you! (yes that's their signature.) It is great for breakfast (though you will find it difficult to look for parking), lunch or even supper (especially after a few drinks). Do take the effort to visit this old yet awesome dim sum place which can offer a satisfactory meal. Price wise, well, it is dim sum, so expect it to be around 15-20 per pax (if you order 3 plates). it is an average of RM5 per plate. the Pao has different rates. ”
“ This is one of my favourite dim sum place to go for, the food quality is great! As everything is becoming very commercialized nowadays, I really appreciate the natural and classic way they prepare their food. The fillings of the dim sum taste very natural, like it's freshly blended for the day and not purchased frozen. The same goes to other meat based dum sum dishes as well. One downside is that sometimes the fried dim sums can be tad a bit oily, apart from that, it tastes absolutely amazing. The shop is open in the morning for the breakfast crown until late afternoon and even during dinner until midnight! I always come over here for supper after drinking at the bars in Publika and they are always still open. Perfect supper place after drinking as there will be less crowd and the food is still steaming hot. During peak hours (breakfast and dinner) there might be quite a crowd and parking is hard to find, so you will need to park slightly further. ”
“ This place is famous for its dim sum in Jalan Ipoh and it is a must go for the locals. It is open 24 hours and this place has more than 40 years history for their delicious dim sum. My dad's school mate is actually running this shop and it is taken up from his father. Pau here is very famous and their lor mai kai is extremely delicious. Since they are doing dimsum, don't be surprise for not finding fried items because they only specialised on steaming dimsums. My favourite type of cuisine!!! Fried food is quite bad for health and we should eat less of it! If you want to dine here, it is open air and you will expect yourself to be seated on the wide pathway. There are umbrellas - those commercial umbrellas that will protect you from the sun or rain. Parking is relatively hard to get, so tough luck people! You should only drive here, although there is a bus stop 5 minutes walking distance, you will feel tired if walking under the hot weather. Price? Quite expensive for me, so be prepared to pay! Cash and carry only. ”
“ Despite the plentiful bad reviews that this place has started to get online, I still decide to give it a 4-stars rating. I think people were very misled when they first visit the place expecting some extravagant dimsum to be served. However, this restaurant is actually a very old fashioned and humble kind of place that serves dimsum. So, yes, even though a lot of people complained that their dimsums here are all just dumpling with minced pork in it, I would say that this is actually their style. Besides that, they area actually being famous for their paos and also dumplings here. So, whenever you're there, the first question they will come to ask you is if you want any paos or lo mai gai that's actually the signature dishes here. I have tried and liked the place actually, despite of the difficulties in getting a parking here. However, there's one thing that makes me hesitate in giving more stars which is their price. Even though it looks like a humble little shop, my friend and I who ordered less than ten dishes with two herbal teas actually paid around RM36, so the prices here are not as cheap as you'd think it would be. Overall, it's a place which will remind you of the old times good dimsums in my opinion. If you're a dimsum fanatic, do explore the place for yourself. ”
