Had dinner there tonight. The dim sum was awesome! Great stirfry. Not greasy at all. It's a new chain that Jackie Chan opened. It's down at the COEX next to Bennigans. I loved it! They even gave me a cupon for free shumei on my next visit. Yummy!

Nope, but I've been wanting to.


Was it expensive?

Made for the Korean market no doubt.
The Koreans HATE greasy chinese food.
The Chinese on the other hand...

I ate there. Once. I wasn't impressed. I'd never go back.

I found it so so. But I lived in Taiwan for a couple years and know what good dim sum should taste like. However, their cashew chicken was quite good - though not as spicy as real gong bao ji ding should be.

Don't think I'd go back - except maybe for the cashew chicken.

I really enjoyed it. It was a bit pricey but I was very satisfied with the quality and service. It was a pleasant surprise.

It's overpriced NOT because of Jackie Chan...it's because the greedy owners of the COAX, the greedy owners of the land, etc. and the greedy owner of JC's...he...JC is just lending his name in return for cash of course.

I had the BBQ pork + fried rice, just like they serve at Cafe De Coral in HK. It was not as good as they make it in Hong Kong, but it was good and probably much healthier.

I've been to the one in Aekyong in Suwon. It's pretty good. I'll be back.

What you said above, you hit the nail right on the head~ it's healthier. That's why I will go back. The food is much less oily and after eating it I felt really good. (Some Chinese food has me hungry 30 min. later and feeling ill from all the grease that was used in preparing it, but this one fortunately wasn't like that.)

My wife and I just ate at Ho Lee Chow in Ittaewon for the first time last week. We liked it. I recommend the chicken fried rice.
