I waited for at least 45 minutes last time I was there on Sunday. My friends and I almost went to the restaurant right next to it, but we heard the food isn't that good. Dinner at Harbor Village is expansive. The dishes are all over priced. I spent $50-$60 for two persons. I was still feeling unsatisfied after the meal. I guess I didn't order their novelty dishes like shark's fin or 'nest soup' (the secretion from birds making the nest). Of course, that would probably cost a lot more. Recommendation from my friends - ABC restaurant in Chinatown is very good. I guess I would try ABC's dim sum in the near future too. James
