Very Super Great Food and Drinks Fun Yummm !!!

I love Jasmine. I've been here several times. Most recently for a business meeting / dinner. It's quite a large restaurant with open seating and a wide selection of food. They have great dim sum. The service is good and the food is the real deal authentic Chinese and I've had enough over the years to be able to tell the difference. My fav dishes are Honey Barbecued Spareribs, their low mein, and fu kin fried rice is awesome.

Price: $$
Quality: Good
Service: Average

We had a party of 8 and we were seated promptly in the waaaay back. Luckily it was around 1p so it was just about dying down.

We sat and waited for the rest of our party to arrive. Pretty spacious restaurant. We noticed that the silverware was NOT clean and we even found a spider crawling on our table! YUCK!!!

Nevertheless, we gave the bene of the doubt and ordered several dishes. My Dad laughed because everything I ordered had shrimp in it. What can I say - I LOVE SHRIMP!!! We had the shrimp har gow, pork sho mai, shrimp ball, pork chop, won ton soup, pork buns, dessert - among others I cannot recall.

I have to say it was filling. Wasn't the best dim sum but we had a blast looking at all the carts and asking what each item was. We barely understood the employees when they mentioned what each item on the cart was, and often times, created traffic jams just to get to our table. It was hilarious!!!

Our total came out to be about $100 with grat and we were full. Another disappointment was that they charged for tea and steamed rice. WTH?! We all didn't have tea and we all didn't have rice, and we were still charged... Needless to say, my aunt did complain on the comment card hoping that they would contact her.

I like to eat dim sum and by far, this is not the BEST dim sum restaurant in San Diego. There is certainly tastier dim sum out there. But this place doesn't suck. The food is tasty enough and if you are not a dim sum connoisseur, this place will do for you.

What this restaurant has going for it, is the atmosphere. It's a giant dining room, the wait (yes, there is wait on most weekend days unless you arrive promptly at 11am when they open for dim sum) is not that bad, and they actually serve the dim sum on the wheely carts with the Asian women pushing it. I love that I wait in anticipation while the cart inches closer to your table. I like that you can order just the right amount and order as you go along.

It's good stuff. Check it out.
