What to Order
Typhoon Shelter Lobster
This lobster dish is a standout, celebrated for its intense wok aroma and generous crispy garlic topping.
"Highlights: the Typhoon Shelter Lobster was packed with wok aroma and crispy garlic..."
Cherrie
Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow)
These dumplings are noted for their large size, abundant fresh shrimp filling, and delicate, thin skin.
"Shrimp dumpling were large and full of fillings, dumpling skin was thin and not too dry."
Carmen Wong
Pork Dumplings (Siu Mai)
Expect generously sized pork dumplings, often enhanced with a touch of black truffle for an elevated flavor.
"Both the har gow and shiumai were noticeably larger than anything you’d get at a Chinatown dim sum joint."
David Xing
Lobster Pumpkin Soup
A surprisingly balanced and comforting soup that combines the richness of lobster with the sweetness of pumpkin.
"We also loved the lobster pumpkin soup, surprisingly balanced and comforting."
Cherrie
Congee
This classic rice porridge is praised for its rich umami flavor and tender, fall-apart pork.
"Great classics like congee - fall-apart pork and really good umami - and generously sized dim sum items."
Josephine A.
BBQ Pork Buns
These buns are considered exceptional, offering a perfect balance of fluffy exterior and savory BBQ pork filling.
"The BBQ pork buns are unreal—hands down some of the best I’ve had."
