The food was good excellent and the restaurant was beautiful. However the serving staff were sullen, bordering on rude. We were 9 of us celebrating a birthday and it put a damper on our experience.

The only negative was that the food got quite cold before we had finished eating. Plates need to be warmed!

First time dining in china. Town in years and while I enjoyed the food it is pricey for a lunch so maybe leave it till evening dinning slots. The quality of dim sum is great.

The lady in charge took our order incorrectly. When she attended to us, she didn’t seem interested at all. We ordered fish soup but were served pork soup instead. We waited for over half an hour. After following up several times with another waiter, we were finally informed that the fish soup was not available, so we had to replace it with beef soup — which was tasteless. Our order for chicken and salted fish clay pot never arrived, and only after repeated follow-ups did a young waiter come and ask us again what we had ordered. Very disappointing service overall. They seemed to be short-staffed. We don’t think we’ll be coming back again.

Frequent customer to this restaurant as the service and food are good. Only Dim Sum restaurant ( in China Town )as far as I am aware where one can made a reservation instead of queuing outside a dim sum restaurant for a table. That’s a massive time saver.

Our favourite restaurant for Dim Sum, but unfortunately they don’t have belly roast pork which we loved. Abit disappointed.

Head waiter was very accommodating and helpful. Was celebrating our niece birthday and he didn’t mind us bringing a birthday cake. Food as usual was very good and served promptly.

The floor manager was most helpful. This is our regular restaurant for Dim Sum. Food is very good with generous portions. We chose this restaurant as they take reservations. No need for queuing which is a major plus in China Town.

We were welcomed and immediately walked to our table. The "tick your choices" self ordering system is effective and makes the process seamless. We ordered hot tea, arrived super quickly. Service was fast and professional. Food met the expectations, the fried duck rolls are fantastic, definitely recommended. Will come again in the future.

We have been before and went there just as they were finishing off the redecoration/renovation. Food was great as always. It was also great to see things smartened up. Friendly and professional staff. We booked so no waiting time.
