“One of the better dim sum spots in town.
Despite being same owner as Emerald, quality is much better...
Super super far though!”

Roger rated this 3 stars, calling it one of the better dim sum spots in town and saying the quality was much better than sister restaurant Emerald despite sharing an owner, though he noted it's super far from most of San Diego.

Roger called it one of the better dim sum spots in town, better than same-owner Emerald Chinese Cuisine, but a long drive from most of the city. (From an unpublished Yelp draft review, never posted publicly.)
San Diego's only restaurant-winery-brewery combo under one roof, in Rancho Bernardo, where Roger called the food bomb alongside great service and a full lineup of wine and craft beer.
A Rancho Bernardo Chinese buffet Roger rated 3 stars as solid but typical, calling out the sea bass, decent crab legs, good fruit selection, and Dreyer's ice cream as highlights, while noting Central San Diego diners are better off at Great Moon in PB.
