Absolutely love the food and the space. One word of caution though…..they close at 9:00. Not just the kitchen but the restaurant. So plan to arrive with plenty of time. We were rushed out by the staff at 9:00 while we were still finishing our meal. Desserts arrived while we were still eating and we were asked to pay the bill because the cashier was leaving. Then they packed up our food to go. We now know to arrive no later than 7pm in the future to not be rushed.

This is one of the best dim sum/cantonese restaurants in the city/state. The preparation is old school yet modern at the same time. Fantastic. Loud and lively inside. Enjoy!

I felt that the atmosphere was great and that it was a place for people who truly love music. The dim sum was so-so, and I was disappointed that the Hong Kong waffle didn’t suit my taste. However, the performance was absolutely amazing.

Was looking forward to dining at Fang, considering Ms. Fang’s family legacy. There are some creative, surprising dishes on the menu—the tofu and broccoli for example—sweet/salty and doused in a creamy sweet sauce. As most reviews state, the service is borderline-abysmal. You have to wonder if staff training is simply non-existent or if there is a concerted effort on the part of management to simply not care. Am genuinely interested in this answer. I’d come back in a larger group where I’d be too distracted to care about the sub-par service.

Best dim sum I’ve had in a while and was a definitely gem to find while in Napa.
