" Western Lake is without a doubt an amazing place for dim sum. I enjoyed every dish we ordered, particularly the dumplings which were the talk of the table. They were sizable and cooked to perfection. The service was friendly, sometimes a bit slow, but it catered to all our needs. The noise level did get high at times, but honestly, I couldn't care less when the food was this delicious. Come prepared to share – the portions are very generous! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Western Lake has been a delightful tradition for my family. We love the diverse menu selection, especially the king crab dishes and various dim sums. The quality of food is always at its best; everything comes out hot and fresh. I appreciate how spacious the seating is, making it comfortable for big family gatherings. On busy days, service may slow down just a bit but is still attentive. Though parking can be tricky, we manage to find street parking close by. You won’t regret dining here! " (*Curated Review*)

" After a long wait, we finally tried Western Lake. I ordered the king crab and was astonished by the three different presentations that came alongside! The food was fresh, generous in portion, and simply divine. I wish the service could have been slightly quicker, as we had to wait a bit longer between dishes. The restaurant itself was buzzing with energy, which I found enjoyable. Be sure to reserve ahead of time if you plan to come during weekends for a smoother experience! " (*Curated Review*)

If you're up for massive portions and great flavors, you won’t regret this dining choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about Western Lake for years, I finally positive I had to go. I’m so glad I did! Everything was so fresh and delicious, particularly the seafood dishes. The crab was delightful! The portions were more than generous, and we were left with leftovers to take home! The ambiance can be quite bustling, but that adds to the charm of the place! Make sure to give this a try, I will absolutely return again for another meal. " (*Curated Review*)
