I love the old school push cart style.
I wish we see more special dim sum items the ones which really showcase the chef's skill and passion.
Gwai lo wonton with sweet sour sauce is awesome.
Anyone know where I can find the following dim sum items?
Thousand layer cake (desert with egg yolk and sweet cake)
Deep fried shrimp toast
Good deep fried calamari (ones with tentacles and all? the ones I find at the dim sum places only serve the squid variety)

Basically if you don't find something you want from the push carts you can order it.
I greatly miss the food cart dimsum scene. They even have those oldschool colourful jello with the tiny Umbrella on it, and the deep fried white-washed wonton with gwai-lo sauce.
The food is standard fare much like many other joints but they have a few different specials that's specific to them. The food is not too salty, the Siu Mai is REGULAR size not fist size. Food wise I'd rate it 7/10. As for service I'd rate it 7/10 as well (typical chinese joint) but, it's their first day so I don't know. The funny thing is, almost all the old workers are back.
Overall I'd rate this joint 7/10 but it has push-cart so I'd give it an 8.
