“The wait time is pretty bad on weekends. The service is good. The food is good as well, but the ones in Brooklyn/Manhattan are way better than Staten Island’s dimsums. I recommend the hargow, salted egg yolk bun, and the baked desserts.”

Qing Ying ChenGoogle review via Restaurant Guru “Precious Island Tea Shop is an absolute gem! The drinks are always fresh, flavorful, and made perfectly every time.

Alan ZeeGoogle review via Restaurant Guru “best dim sum spot on staten island id say, the meat dishes are superior to non-meat dishes here, ranking top to bottom: 1. beef ball / siu mai / ha cheong 2. fung zhao / ngow pa yeep / pai gwut / congee / ha gow 3. turnip cake / lai wong bao”
Michael ChengGoogle Maps “Solid Cantonese food - served fast and fresh. We enjoyed the meal. And spacious place. Would come back again!”
Anthony ChanDiningGoogle Maps “Typhoon shelter style dungeness crab ($80) is the worst I have ever had - not even close in terms of ingredients and taste. Water spinach ($26) is very oily and to my surprise completely tasteless. Chicken is very dry and also a little tasteless. Fish and soup (also $80) is…”

Chicken is very dry and also a little tasteless. Fish and soup (also $80) is not bad but overpriced. The only thing tasted decent is the pork with cauliflower.”

“Precious Island Tea Shop is an authentic Cantonese gem right on Staten Island. The stir-fried lobster with sticky rice was rich and flavorful, the fried pork chop was perfectly crispy, and the stir-fried garlic steak was tender and loaded with garlicky goodness — every dish was a hit! The customer service was excellent and very attentive throughout our meal, making the experience even better. If you're looking for genuine Cantonese flavors and great hospitality, this place is a must-visit!”

The place have 2 floors, not a huge place, but good enough, parking lot can probably accommodate about 15 cars, but no worry it easy to find spot around the area. Service is good, can get pretty busy. Haven't really try the dinner so, but for dim sum definitely a go.”

“The food is magnificent! I’m a foodie and I know Chinese food especially Hong Kong style like this. The peaking pork chops are absolutely delicious. The wonderful walnut shrimp was scrumptious. We had a great time. People were laughing and having a great time. The portions were big! As you can see by the pictures. We took some home. It didn’t make it to the next day. (devoured in the middle of the night) would definitely Go again and bring my friends!”
