Dim Sum Staff From Enlighten Bistro 168 May Have Just Landed

That’s great boots-on-the-ground intel. Thanks!

My office is closed for the next 4 days though lolol.

How important is it to bring a friend who will eat all the leftover bad items??

I’m unsure, but they are very clear that they will charge you for uneaten food. I don’t know how strict they are with enforcement (i.e. if you don’t finish one of 4 pieces, is that ok?). To be clear, nothing we had was bad. Some things were average, like the rice rolls where the rice sheets were too thick. Most things were good!

agree on the rice rolls. yeah i hear they are strict. will charge if 1 piece is left. for those who are interested in going, avoid the mince pork dumps and beef tripe (2 of my favorite dim sum items, but not great here). do get the bean curd skin roll in soup

Has anyone else been here lately? We went on Sunday and it seemed that the only option for dim sum was AYCE, so we left because that was not what we were looking for. In retrospect, we should have asked if there was an a la carte option. Even if there was, they certainly were not pushing it.

I really want to check this out. It looks like the quality has stayed quite good even after conversion to ayce

My wife sent me this youtuber’s video of his meal there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_nERTXcus0

Tim Lee does know what he’s talking about regarding dim sum here and points out a lot of the things they are doing well, although like a lot of food influencers he won’t really criticize a restaurant on video.

Looks like the price has gone up from $19.68 to $25.88 (plus tea charge). He does mention they gave him a la carte menus and it looks like that’s for both dim sum and larger dishes. It sounds like the a la carte prices are $6-8 so it’s pretty easy to exceed the AYCE price.
