love dim sum hate service

serious... they do have good dim sum and food. The lady is nice. But that waiter? If they didn't have good food, I wouldn't go back just for him. Sad. They could update their decor too.

GREAT DIM SUM

by Loke at Citysearch

Our family of 8 went to Cafe Anh Hong. I'm so glad, we didn't listen to all the negative things posted. There was no pinky waiter, no wait for our dim sum, the service was great, the dim sum delicious, and even our food that we did order was on the table within minutes. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Dim sum is a breakfast/brunch meal. To get fresh dim sum, you have to be in the restaurant during mid-morning, or early lunch hours. I would highly recommend this place to my family and friends.

• Pros: delicious dim sum, great service, affordable,
• Cons: none

excellent food!

the ambiance & location aren't the greatest but the food is wonderful. while the hosting skills are alien to western sensibilities, they make perfect sense to the chinese. i originally visited this restaurant on the recommentaion of my tai chi/kung fu master [a tawainese chef] and have never been dissapointed. i've been able to get laughter out of the male waiter and he is most gracious in his own fashion [even though he looks miserable most of the time - i think he is just really shy and strange in his own way]. the woman server is most accommodating and jovial. don't expect great english to be spoken. look beyond the ambiance, relax, and enjoy the food and tea. i highly recommend the chow yang rice and sinagpore chow mie fun. order off the menu or off the chinese menu [with english translations]. the dim sum is most excellent. note for all chinese restaurants: if you want your tea refilled, just open the top.

• Pros: authentic food & flavour
• Cons: location

Come to this restaurant for the food, not the service

by 82much at Citysearch

Don't expect to receive the service you would get from most restaurants. The owners know how to cook Chinese food, but don't have very good customer relations skills. Nevertheless, it's worth coming for the food. Beware of the "Americanized" portion of the menu. These include your combo meals and lunch specials. They aren't very good. Rather, look at the Dim Sum menu or the Chinese menu. The Chinese menu has the English names written off to the sides. These are generally your best choices. Recommended Dim Sum: Fried dumplings with shrimp and leeks, har gow, sui mai.

Dim Sum

by skywarrior at Citysearch

Tasty dim sum but lousy service. The usual waiter must be one of the owner/partners because, with his poor attitude and service, he would have been fired long ago. Ambiance is very plain and not representative of a typical oriental restaurant decor. If the waiter is an example of the sanitary conditions in the kitchen, I would hesitate recommending patronage . If you would like a good example of dim sum. with friendly service, in an attractive establishment, try the Hong Kong west of the Gateway.

• Pros: Tasty dim sum
• Cons: Lousy service attitude
