It’s upstairs---by elevator or the stairs; it’s spacious, and it’s busy no matter what time of day. The dim-sum is first-rate and the variety is enormous. If you can make it past the dim sum you’ll find a menu that by itself offers irresistible possibilities. The orange beef is excellent, so are the stuffed scallops. This is a great family place and an ideal locale for large groups. The language gap can present some service problems, which might make you laugh or cry, depending on your mood. While we generally eschew desserts in Chinese restaurants, the mango pudding here is one closer that we never fail to order.
