PRICE:
$-$$ Affordable. but overall not cheap. Prices seem high on some menu items that you can find cheaper at similar restaurants.
QUALITY:
Good. Good portion size, smaller than Western Lake. Food was hot. They offer the same things you can get at many other similar restaurants.
SERVICE:
RUDE. Slow to take the order paper. Too busy chatting and the cooks were sitting around. The server questioned the amount of food being ordered for this video.
VERDICT:
Excellent Dim Sum King Restaurant is a good choice for ALL DAY Dim Sum, however the food is mostly average and seems overpriced. Western Lake still offers much better.
CASH, CARD.
