A dim sum restaurant a little away from the hustle and bustle of Chinatown, City View offers a wide selection of small dishes in a simple and clean setting. The dim sum will be offered to you as it is made in the kitchen on a cart pushed by a waitress. Chinese families gather here for a tasty sharing of steams, pies and ravioli. Don't miss the sesame balls at the end of the meal, all washed down with jasmine tea. A find in the neighborhood where one can be intimidated by the abundance of culinary offerings.

Shrimp Dumplings: These delicate dumplings burst with flavor, and the shrimp filling is perfectly tender.
Shanghai Siu Lung Bao: The soup-filled dumplings are a delightful surprise. Each bite releases a savory explosion in your mouth.
Pork Siu Mai: These little parcels of joy are steamed to perfection. The combination of pork and shrimp is delicious.
Crab Claws: Crispy on the outside, succulent on the inside. The crab claws are a must-try!
Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll: Silky rice noodles envelop plump shrimp, which tastes ok for me, not my favorite.
Chicken Feet: They’re flavorful and tender.
Peking Duck with Lotus Bun: The crispy duck skin, paired with soft lotus buns, is a match made in culinary heaven.
Black Bean Spareribs: These fall-off-the-bone ribs are richly seasoned with black bean sauce.
The service is attentive, and the ambiance is cozy!

Upon our arrival at around 11 am, we were informed by the attentive waiter that there would be a brief 30-minute wait, and we were promptly added to the waitlist. Our meal included delightful offerings such as shrimp dumplings, Shanghai siu lung bao, pork siu mai, crab claws, shrimp rice noodle roll, chicken feet, and the standout, sesame balls with red beans.
Efficient service delivered most dishes within 10 minutes, enhancing our overall satisfaction. The must-try highlights are the flavorful crab claws and the harmonious sesame balls. The fried crab claws were a revelation, encased in a crispy crust with succulent shrimp and crab within.
The dessert finale, sesame balls with red beans, amazed us. Reserved till last, they remained warm with a delightful texture. The red bean filling's sweetness balanced perfectly, while the chewy sesame ball defied expectations, testament to the kitchen's mastery.

Fantastic place to get dim sum in the city. Second time being here and I highly recommend arriving early around 11am if you can. After 12 is when it gets really busy, but even then it’s worth the wait!
I had a funny exchange with the waiter when I wanted to order a whole duck along with several other dishes, and he was surprised and recommended the individual 2pc duck portions. After eating, I think that was the right decision for a table of three. I highly recommend getting an order of the 2pc duck. They give you buns, hoisin sauce, and a thick cut of juicy duck.
Aside from that, I recommend the classic dishes and especially the pork siu mai.
I see a lot of reviews about slow service, it gets very busy at 12:30pm so come with that expectation or come early.

Okay, now the main part:
It had a small wait when we came, but they have plenty of indoor seating to wait near front desk. We were seated in about 5 mins. The food came in quick and was very very good.
I'd strongly recommend Tofu Skinned dumplings and the soup dumplings. The food is fresh and high quality, and service is fast!
The servers wore masks and gloves, and the atmosphere was kid friendly!
