" My visit to City View was simply delightful! The dishes were artfully presented and tasted fresh. The lava custard buns were to die for! I really enjoyed the pacifying atmosphere too; it was busy yet relaxing. My only complaint would be the slight delay in food serving, but it was manageable. I’ll definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited this restaurant during our trip, and we were very pleased with the meal. Each dish was packed with flavor, but I specifically loved the fried sesame balls and siu mai. The only downside was the wait time; we waited almost 30 minutes before being seated. Still, I feel it was worth it and will surely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Although the food was great, the service left a lot to be desired. We waited far too long for our initial drinks and had to remind the waiter about our order. The food itself was flavorful enough that I would return to give this restaurant another try. The atmosphere was nice and the dim sum offerings were varied and interesting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed with the food during my visit to City View. The turnip cake was too doughy for my liking, and the overall flavors felt muted. While my friend enjoyed her meal, I found the service lacking in attentiveness. The ambiance is nice and the place was clean, but the food didn’t quite hit the mark for me this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" For my first time trying dim sum, I couldn't have chosen a better place. The chicken feet were surprisingly tender, and the lava custard buns were a real treat. The staff was friendly and recommended some great dishes. I particularly enjoyed the atmosphere which felt authentic and welcoming. I hope to introduce my friends to this wonderful restaurant soon.

" Dine at City View if you’re looking for a cheerful dim sum spot! The shrimp dumplings were super fresh, and the mood in the restaurant is exciting and communal. Our server was lovely, though it took a short while for our food to arrive. Nevertheless, I left satisfied with a full stomach and plans to come back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" City View Restaurant is truly a gem in the heart of Chinatown. We had a delightful selection of dim sum, and every item tasted fresh and homemade. The steamed buns and dumplings were the highlight of our visit, bursting with flavor. The prices are reasonable given the quality. I would recommend any dim sum lover to check this place out!
