Dim Sum at Ocean Star - Monterey Park

Ocean Star, very popular dim sum restaurant in Monterey Park. During the weekdays, it's only $1.98 ($2.38 on the weekends). No wonder why this place is so popular. The place is extremely busy during lunch time on the weekends. I arrived here little before 11:30am and there were 1-2 tables open so I didn't have to wait to get seated. However, after me and my friend sat down, no one came to our table, we waited about 10 minutes. Usually when you are at the dim sum restaurant, you sit down and the lady pushing the cart will be there right away.

I thought the food was just ok. This place is popular because of the prices, not the food. If I want good dim sum, I'd go somewhere else.
