" I had a delightful experience at Hei La Moon last week! The dim sum selection was extensive, and each dish was cooked to perfection. The shrimp dumplings were particularly delightful; soft, juicy, and packed with flavor. The ambiance was warm and inviting, which made our meal even more enjoyable. Unfortunately, the service was a bit slow but overall, I would say it's worth a visit, especially if you're new to dim sum dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried many dim sum restaurants, Hei La Moon holds a special place in my heart. It was my go-to spot when I lived in Boston, and it remains fantastic even after the move. The dumplings are still fluffy and delicious, and I appreciate the variety. I do miss the cart service they used to offer, and I wonder if it will ever return. The atmosphere is still lively and fun but the service can be quirky, with servers occasionally being forgetful. Nonetheless, if you love dim sum, give this place a try – the food speaks for itself! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family had an amazing meal there last weekend! We ordered a whole bunch of dim sum, and almost everything was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the spicy shrimp dumplings and taro balls. The staff was friendly and helpful, making our experience even better. The only downside was the wait for a table, but it was worth it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic flavors, this is not the place. The dim sum was average at best, and there were issues with some of the dishes being cold. I appreciated the staff's friendliness, but the service could have been improved with more attentiveness. I may give it another try, but my first experience was underwhelming. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hei La Moon never fails to deliver a good dim sum experience! From the soft pork buns to the crispy spring rolls, every dish was full of flavor. I particularly enjoyed the energy of the restaurant—it was busy yet organized. Only complaint was the brief wait for service, but it was worth it for the good food. Highly recommend for dim sum lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Attended Hei La Moon with friends and we had an overwhelming amount of food! The variety was impressive, and I was blown away by how affordable the meal was for the quality offered. My personal favorite was the custard-filled buns! Even though it took a bit of time for our server to check on us, I must say it was an overall delicious experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had some high expectations based on the reviews, but it was just average for me. The dim sum was good, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve had better elsewhere. The ambiance was lively, yet service felt disorganized. Wouldn’t say it was bad, but it wasn’t exceptional either. Might need to give it another try someday. " (*Curated Review*)
