This place has moved to a couple blocks away from where Google Maps navigate you to. Okay, now the main part: It had a small wait when we came, but they have plenty of indoor seating to wait near front desk.
We were seated in about 5 mins.
The food came in quick and was very very good. I'd strongly recommend Tofu Skinned dumplings and the soup dumplings.
The food is fresh and high quality, and service is fast! The servers wore masks and gloves, and the atmosphere was kid friendly!

Peking duck with lotus bun was absolutely phenomenal.
Meat was tender, duck skin was crispy yet so juicy, bun was bun-ing.
Will definitely order this again next time I go Honorable mention to the BBQ steamed pork bun - it was also warm and flavorful! Overall I had a great experience at City View, especially because the service was amazing.
My food arrived quickly and the waiter was super attentive.
Highly recommend this place if you're in Chinatown!

Came around a little after noon on a Saturday.
While the restaurant was packed, our table of two got a seat immediately.
Their dim sum menu had fried taro, scallop shi mai, green onion pancake, roasted duck, and more unique finds.
Their green tea yogurt dessert was also really tasty.
Great stop for dim sum! The restaurant is right next to a park outside, in case of a long wait, there’s much to do in the area.
From the pictures, it looks like the interior went through a remodel - as the inside has a more modern, grey look.
