    Came here on a very quiet Monday lunchtime. We were the only diners, so we got the owners’ full attention and VIP treatment.Food was all satisfactory, albeit their menu was missing some of the staple yum cha dishes that we order by default (i.e. tofu jelly and chicken feet). The wonton noodle soup was bland, though.Price was reasonable. Ambience was great and we loved the spacious and odour-free environment.

    The food was good but due to my experience I will not be attending this restaurant again. I had booked this restaurant for my birthday dinner weeks in advance since they could set and serve my large group of just over 20 people, though it seemed like this large group would seem like no problem to accommodate when I make the booking and exchanged emails and even a confirmation phone call, when the night of the dinner came they weren’t prepared when I came and didnt know where to sit us and moved us twice. As we sat at a large table I was hoping they would move two tables together like they had promised sooner since people of my group kept entering at different times, they kept telling us they would wait until my full party had arrived so when my party had finally arrived it was awkward at first since they didnt know where to sit and had to be seated at another table away from us. Finally when tables were joined the issue didnt stop there since they make everyone order big expensive meals and even brought out not fully cooked chicken which they had to take back to the kitchen. The food is overall delicious but sadly it doesnt overtake the fact that it was poor service and a bit disappointing. I’m hoping they learn from their mistakes because this really can be a great restaurant if they want to be.

    I really loved the ambience of the place from the lights, seating and music. I was expecting a lot since someone had referred me to try them out. We had ordered the dumplings, fried rice, mushroom soup and other things. The fried rice was amazing, just the right amount of seasonings.Unfortunately the mushroom soup was very bland, almost little to no flavour. The dumplings and others were okay.We finished up the fried rice pretty fast since there wasn’t really a lot of it in the first place, so we ordered another one. Of course we would assume that the second batch of fried rice would be at at least close to the same as the first but we were wrong. The fried rice was over cooked (burnt) when fried and very bland, almost as if it wasn’t seasoned at all. Overall, the food was very underwhelming. Although you have to give the dorian mochi things (forgot the name), they were quite tasty.
