What people say, in short
Glamorous, above the Wing Yip supermarket, draws repeated praise for dim sum, and one diner recommends its Cantonese dishes. Commenters describe an old-fashioned room; one suggests it for large groups. Opinions on quality differ: one diner praises repeat visits, while others feel the dim sum and service have declined. Another finds the food poor but still credits the portions and value.
