Reasonable waiting for a cheap, good lunch

We (4) went there on Saturday at lunchtime ard 13:30. We had to wait for ard 20 min till we got seated. While you're waiting, you already get the menu to chose and fill in your order on a sheet of paper. They even have an English/French/German/Russian menu but the translations are horrible! Only rely on the English one (I speak German and French and both translations were mostly... wrong, even awkward). Inside the restaurant they have another menu (on the table) and the English translations are

We (4) went there on Saturday at lunchtime ard 13:30. We had to wait for ard 20 min till we got seated. While you're waiting, you already get the menu to chose and fill in your order on a sheet of paper. They even have an English/French/German/Russian menu but the translations are horrible! Only rely on the English one (I speak German and French and both translations were mostly... wrong, even awkward). Inside the restaurant they have another menu (on the table) and the English translations are even different to the ones of the menu you get outside
(the content is basically the same, just more or less detailed).

Well - so we got seated after 20 min. And the dishes arrived one after another (we ordered around 10, they all came within 15 min).

We had two kinds of steamed rice rolls - the ones without any filling (traditional) and with the barbecued pork filling. I liked the traditional ones very much (I'm vegetarian), my friends think they are boring
They liked the barbecued ones really much.

 Fried egg sticks with honey - a huge portion! And a bit hard to eat actually, because of all the honey and coconut
But it tasted good.

 Spring rolls, unfortunately with shrimp. Good taste, but I put out the whole filling as I don't eat shrimp.

 All in all, I really liked the place. Apart from its Michellin Star, it is just so cheap! compared to other, "normal" Dim Sum" restaurants, it is really cheap! For example the rolls (this place | others): ~20/25 | 30/35.

really cheap
once you get seated, you'll get your food immediately
English menu exists
some veggie dim sum as well
good taste in general
you have to wait in a queue for ars 20-30 min (but as you already chose what you want to have while you're waiting, the time passes faster)
the service doesn't really speak English
