"Had the opportunity to have Yum cha at this restaurant. Really enjoyed the pork buns! Would recommend

"Always enjoy eating here. High standard cuisine quick service, especially love the dumplings and steam bbq pork buns.. A long tine customer

"Had lunch first time here on Monday. What a pathetic service! No one was welcoming and even showing us a table. Also, Staff hardly spoke English. Unlike other yum cha places, we had to fill out an order form and hand it to the counter. didn't know that. Should have run out of the run-down restaurant. We were too venturous and hopeful that their food would be great. But they served lukewarm, dried, and flavour lacking dim sum dishes. It was a total disaster. Never go back.

"Has improved a great deal. The best in central West.

"Review for Thursday 7th Jan, 2021. I've been coming here for a few years and it was always very delicious. However, today marks my last day. They have gone downhill and today's service was shocking. This is what happened today. I came for yumcha lunch with my partner. We're both asians but we don't speak Chinese, except my partner can understand and speak a few words. While I was looking down at the ordering menu, a waitress had come by and asked me a question in Chinese (which turned out to be "which tea would you like?"). I, who don't speak or understand the language, didn't know someone was talking to me (I was looking down) and didn't respond. The waitress then waved her hand in my face while saying "hello" in English then asked me the question again in Chinese. I looked at the waitress shocked and confused, unable to utter a word trying to process what just happened. I glanced at my partner who then answered the question on my behalf but the waitress looked at my partner, ignored her answer and looked back at me, waiting for my answer as if the waitress only listens to the man at the table? The waitress then finally asked in English if I wanted jasmine tea and I said yes. After sending in the food order, the entire ordered list of food came out instantly all at once. This means they have every dish (the yumcha dishes only) pre cooked and sitting in their food heater, ready to be served. So basically you're getting food that's been cooked and sitting there for who knows how long, and the food served to us definitely wasn't fresh. The words "shocking" and "disappointing" is still quite generous for this review. Turn around and go elsewhere. You, your stomach and your wallet will thank me later.
