"Modernized Dim SumThe interior of this place is absolutely stunning. Walking in for the first time during lunch we were blown away by the aesthetic of this place. The kitchen can be seen through a glass window with the wait staff entering and exiting through one of the doors. It’s also really spotless here and they pride in cleanliness based on the style of open kitchen and their staff always being on the watch for any cleaning.Which leads me to the staff. At first we were seated and handed our menus. I felt a bit uncomfortable because it felt like they were staring us down. But, realizing that the staff here are trained to be as responsive as possible based on the way I was observing the other tables being waited.Which means when the moment you put down your menus they immediately come over to take your order because that is what they were trained to do so. So if you catch them staring continuously that might be why.Please keep in mind that there can be cultural difference between how some people are trained, but it doesn’t apply to everyone. Some Asian places aren’t trained to engage socially and are more trained to be responsive and turn around tables quick and this is one of them. If you are looking for a place where the staff is social, this is not the spot.On to the food, I think the more traditional dishes not pictured here are much tastier. However, the more American Chinese styled food is simple. Nothing on the menu we had was amazing and different. But we enjoyed the flavors."
