I love this restaurant and have been eating here since I was a kid, but lately I have had one or two really dreadful experiences that have made me start looking for a new dim sum staple. For the price, the food can be excellent. However, some days the food is mediocre to inedible, while the service... well the second to last time I want there with three friends (none of us Chinese), we got seated on their dingey back-alley patio, and while what I assume was the manager was seating us, he grumbled something about "gwai loh" to one of the waiters, gwai loh of course being a, if not perjorative, impolite term for white folk. That was followed by nonexistant service, still bleeding beef, cold, clammy fried things that had obviously been left sitting for quite some time, and all that topped off by being overcharged. It took me a good while to be able to go back to Parc Hong Kong, but I'm still trying to find a new favorite.
Pros: Cheap for big groups, food CAN be excellent
Cons: Inconsistency in quality, sometimes rude or indifferent waitstaff.
