I went here for Lunch-Dim Sum on a weekday. I've been to other ""nicer looking"" dim-sum places in Chinatown but was always a bit disappointed because of the price. Lets be honest, dim sum is dim sum and you are going to get the same dishes in 99% of the dim sum places you go so I rate dim sum places based on value and service. The food was very good for the price and wait staff is very attentive. This place is a bit off the beaten path so it seemed like a good number of locals were there. When I was there, there were a group of asian guys in shirts/ties, a ""anglo"" couple, a old chinese couple, hispanic/african-american co-workers, and others. The resturant is aging a bit and there is tape on some of the chairs and you can notice the bad pink paint job on the walls but I tend to like places like this. The parking is free (if you can find a spot), dim sum staff is very nice, you wont get over charged, and they refilled our tea 3 times (we didn't have to ask). Bottom-line- I'd go back but I'd come with friends, not a date that I was trying to impress .
Pros: Better Value than other Dim-Sum places
Cons: If you dine at spago's often then I dont think you'll like this place.
