Affable Eatery - Broad Channel

Delicious dim sum with a wide variety of food. Prices are a bit high but that’s with everything nowadays. I recommend chrysanthemum tea or Jasmine tea.

I hate giving bad reviews and I rarely do but I really mean it when I say to avoid this place at all costs. There are two near-by dimsum places that are way better and I would highly recommend going there instead (Park Asia East Harbor Seafood Palace). I came here with a group of friends during mid-autumn weekend mainly because the usual spots we go to had a 2+ hour wait. We wanted to try a new spot and when we came here, we were pretty surprised to find out that there was no wait. That should’ve been the first red flag. Upon getting seated, we noticed that the place was pretty run down. They had television displays that showed advertisements for neighboring businesses. The place was overall pretty dirty and the poor sanitary rating it has doesn’t help. We got the usual dimsum plates and was super disappointed. A lot of the usual dimsum dishes had substitutes for the lack of protein seemingly to save on costs. We came across something that looked like a fried shrimp but it ended up being fruit? Who serves fried fruit with mayo at a dim sum place???? The cart ladies were very aggressive in pushing old, clearly unwanted dishes onto our table which we did not want after the fried fruit incident. A friend of mine got a coconut dessert pastry and wanted a spoon to share with others. After asking for a spoon, the waiter laughed and gave us a fork and said “I think you meant fork”??? The service was god awful and honestly laughable. We ordered a large dish of fried seafood noodles to share and they came out with beef chow fun? Not only did they get our order wrong, the food was super bland. I am never coming back and would not recommend anyone come here, especially if you don’t look like a typical dimsum goer. We were a group of Asian Americans who spoke the language and we were treated pretty bad. I would imagine a different crowd would get treated worse and have old and bad dimsum plates dumped on them unknowingly. Affable eatery? More like laughable.

Here is a little bit pricey. Noon time on the weekends is very crowded unless going at the opening time. Food is good. Service is not bad. Good for Chinese catering with over 500 people. They also have two new huge LED screen to show whatever you want to put on. No parking lot or valet parking. They also have private rooms with different size.

Went to get dimsum at this restaurant and it went pretty well. The food was good and even though most of the stuff was gone from the cart. They made it fresh when they asked for the amount that my table wanted.

The food was pretty good. Very good portions. We went for an Lunar New Year school event. The server kept clearing our platters for the next course before we could finish. I was sad when he took away the sweet sour pork.
