Slow service. Food takes forever to come out. There's usually only one server, and he isn't very personable. We use to stop in for dimsum when we really needed the fix. The only place west of the Mississippi in the Twin Cities that serves dimsum. During our last visit, we ordered dim sum take out. We were very disappointed. Probably last time we'll visit. Glad I don't have to visit with that server again.

As a Woodbury resident, we are excited to try out this place. Sad to say but everything at A L are pre‐cooked, not freshly steamed. We ordered chicken feet, pork and shrimp dumplings, steam sticky rice , pork ribs, tofu skin and egg custards. I mean everything, not a single item is fresh.
