First time, and we were impressed. Settled in for a yum cha lunch and weren't disappointed. The staff were hospitable, and clearly enjoy working there. The carts (yay, they are back!), were laden with fresh, steaming dim sim, we weren't hurried and enjoyed easing our way through the temptations. If there's something you want that's not being offered on the carts, just order it from one of the abundant waiting staff. We'll be back
