"Great place to eat with friends and family. I recommend the all you can eat and drink package. The dumplings taste and good quality. The Chinese Churro is delicious. I didn't like the rice and soups, but everything else was really good. The staff are fast and really nice.Two story restaurant but I recommend a reservation for dinners and weekends. Parking is hard to find during busy hours."

"For around $40 per person, this all-you-can-eat dumpling spot is definitely worth it. If you can finish five plates or more, you’ll easily get your money’s worth. The price also includes unlimited drinks, with options like juices and sodas, which is a nice bonus. What I really liked was the self-serve bar featuring rice, Japanese curry, and even ice cream for dessert. There’s plenty of variety beyond just dumplings, so you won’t leave hungry. Most of the food was delicious, and the dumplings were the highlight of the meal. My only complaint was the pork chop—it came out burnt and very dry, so I’d skip that on my next visit. Overall, great value, good food, and lots of options. I’d definitely come back for the dumplings alone!"

"I just recently visited China max and I was pleasantly surprised! The food is really good, and very affordable! I really liked the xiao long bao, and the noodles! They have self service sodas and ice cream! Delicious!! The only thing I didn’t like much was the service. Sometimes they were a little rude/dismissive and they were not taking our plates away so we were drowning in plates on our table."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely amazing dim sum experience! The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. Every dish we ordered was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The dumplings were juicy, the buns were soft and fluffy, and everything tasted authentic and high quality. The service was also excellent—everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere for families and friends. This is definitely one of the best dim sum restaurants we’ve visited, and we will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommended!"
