I love this hole-in the wall dim sum place. There are limited sitting, but it's best for to-go orders. If you choose to dine in, they serve their dim sum in styrofoam containers, rather than bamboo or stainless steel steamer baskets. They also don't serve tea. It should also be noted that sitting is first come, first served. The food is fantastic. The sizes are humongous, from the pork shiu mai to the shrimp har gow. The deep-fried pork dumpling and the deep-fried taro puff had a lot of filling in them. They were filled with a lot of meat! The egg yolk custard buns had pineapple pieces in them. Wah Sing also had steam egg custard buns, which I do not see often anymore at dim sum places and only see the custard lava buns, which are not my favorite types of buns. Oh... I didn't try any of the custard lava buns here though because I stocked up on the steam egg custard buns instead. But the other ones I did try though include: Bean Curd w/ Oyster Sauce, Shrimp & Leek Dumpling, Minced Pork & Dried Shrimp Dumpling w/ Peanuts, Rice Noodle w/ Shrimp were all good, juicy, and big! I always end dim sum with egg tarts, and they did not disappoint. The staff at the register were really nice. I highly recommend for delicious and good value dim sum.

$4.99- $6.09 a dish, +$0.20 on weekends This is a small shop mainly for takeaway dimsum. Delicious: Siu Mai, Taro Puff (could use a little more taro), : Fried Glutinous Rice with pork Could be better: Egg yolk custard bun (flavor was good but filling was on thicker side and bread was a little denser not airy, didn't need actual pineapple), Bean curd roll (maybe not braised long enough, loosely rolled, not much filling) Overall a solid option for dim sum to go. The dim sum is a generous portion. Friendly service. Easy to order by checking off a paper sheet with chinese and english.

Was in the area and craving for DimSum. It's a small place but has all the typical DimSum dishes and some noodle & rice dishes. It can be packed in time but it fast pace. Staff are nice and some can't speak English much but very helpful. The foods are good at reasonable price. Since it's a small place, it can be messy here and there but if you are here for the foods and the reasonable price...you're all good.

I was in the neighborhood and had a craving for dim sum so I stopped in and picked up a few things to try. The lady working there was super friendly which is a departure for the impatient and abrupt attitude one typically encounters at this type of places. The shumai and hagau (shrimp dumplings) may not be the most delicately made but they were decent enough. The rice noodle roll stuffed with chashu and cilantro was also not bad. The best was the pineapple and custard filled pineapple buns. I'd come here just to get them.

This to-go dim sum spot was great! I fully enjoyed the items we ordered. We tried the staples... shumai, sesame balls, glutinous rice with pork. It was quick and good. I would do this again if I was in a time crunch and was craving dimsum. There was a small area to sit and dine but definitely was not geared towards that as the tables were not cleaned after each party left.

I like that this is one of the few places that is open early for dim sum. Instead of taking Porto's back to the Bay Area, I love bringing a variety of asian food back. Bless this place for opening on time. Workers were nice when I ordered a bunch of food. I got a complimentary egg roll! I loved everything. I had siu mai, har gow, taro buns, pork spare ribs, shrimp and chive dumplings, chueng fun. Order via paper provided or at the cashier. Since no one else was at opening, I ordered with the cashier. Utensils and napkins provided with take away orders. Credit cards accepted.

I enjoyed this dim sum spot, it's not as crazy as others and they have your basic dim sum and other entrees. The place is set up for mainly takeouts, as they only have about 3-4 tables available. Service is pretty fast, upon entering you grab a paper menu and mark the food that you want and give it to the cashier. Paid and wait for your number to be called. The order process is simple and fast as they have everything written out on paper and photo for reference when ordering. Overall the food all tasted fresh and flavorful! Best of all the price is affordable!

I liked that the service was fast and everything tasted fresh. Will definitely come again as it is slightly cheaper than other dim sum places. The only downside is that there is not many tables places to sit at and no air conditioning in the sitting area. Otherwise it is perfect for take out. Of all the items I got, I really enjoyed the chicken feet, fish ball (huge!), shrimp wrapped in rice noodle, and turnip cake. Hargow for me was a little dry, but big. Parking is easy. Wouldn't bring a date here, but would definitely do pick up for family and then eat at home.
