Still accepts cash and credit card. Plenty of parking in front of the restaurant and street parking nearby. As of January 1, 2025, this restaurant will close permanently. This is primarily due to the owner / chef retiring. This restaurant is a wonderful place for dim sum on weekends. However, they do serve dim sum (without the carts) everyday so if you want your dim sum fix on during the weekday, this place is the way to go. Their shrimp and pork dumplings are delicious. Their shrimp crepe, chicken feet, fried taro dumpling, rice wrapped w/ leaves are also really good. Be sure to ask for hot oil on the side so you can spice out your dishes if you want. It's sad to see this restaurant go. They are really a wonderful local business that has been around for over 10 years. The staff here are always friendly and their dishes never disappoint. If you are in the area before they close on 1/1/25, be sure to support your local Gourmet Inspiration. Great family owned restaurant that never disappoints. Come hungry and leave satisfied with their yummy cuisine.

Solid dim sum place! I am a Hong Kong local so I rate dim sums with a bit of a higher standard. Yet this place is solid in taste and quality...So in all honesty I have to give it a solid 4! I only had their dim sum on a weekday so I will have to renew this review once I tried their dishes. Overall all dim sums are in good quality and taste. Tea is diluted and not good, but they do offer iced water and other beveages if you don't prefer teas. I like it but it is not the best I've had. However for the spacious space and location, with pretty good parking situation (nearby there's a parking lot), I'd come for dim sum again.

A great spot to hit if you want Dim Sum. The restaurant size is large and will likely be able to accommodate a big family. Dim sum dishes are good; I particularly like the ones with shrimp wrapped in a steamed rice noodle and the fried ones.

What can I say about this place. Always greeted warmly and treated like family. The food is the best in the area and we return when we are in the area. The area is large and has plenty of seating for parties large and small. Thanks for the wonderful dim sum experience.

We went there for dim sum, and was pleasantly surprised that you could also order Vietnamese food while you were dining there. We ordered the Peking duck a half portions. I would say that it was a little gamy. I would suggest ordering something else, the beef chow food with Chinese broccoli was excellent. The meat was good quality the Chinese broccoli was perfectly prepared. The wonton soup was good. from the dim son we ordered sticky rice with chicken in a lotus leaf. It was good once you added soy sauce and a little hot sauce or spices. there were other items that came out for dim sun I would've liked to try but they came much later in our meal and we were done. We also ordered Vietnamese eggrolls that were flavorful and the string beans with tofu. The prices are very reasonable the staff were very nice. The place became crowded by the time we left And I have to say it was clean that is a big plus.
