I wish they still had the trolleys.
Nice carpeted space. Tables set apart from each other with lined table cloths. Average food, which actually means great!

Please see the other reviews they tried to stamp a few additional plates for the yum cha, on pointing it out the apologies came and they cancelled it.
We also noticed the dim sum dough was thick and chalky which ironically we pointed out to the owner of the restaurant. This was the same on all dim sums. The owner agreed there was relief chef in place and thus the lousy dim sums. There was no remorse or apology more like take it or leave it. Never going back to this place.

Reasonable priced, good food, amazing service! I would come back just for the friendly and attentive staffs. Have never been to any yum cha places where I don’t even need to raise my hand to ask to refill tea, they basically just come up to our table regularly to do so.

Went on mothers day waited for an hour only to have had two dumplings and to witness an aggressive fight break out between a server, manager and a table. For some bizarre reason, the server started misplacing their anger onto our table who have been patiently waiting by yelling "Would you like translation" (Not even sure what thats supposed to mean?). So embarrassing and juvenile.

We have been going to the restaurant for many years but last Saturday evening was not good. Firstly they did not have a record of our booking which I arranged a few days prior, then we were rudely and quickly ushered out of the way to a corner table near kitchen where staff were constantly passing by and we needed to move chairs etc. The staff treated us rudely and the service was terrible, a waiter spilt a drink on one of our guests and the fried rice arrived twice after we had already finished our meals. The sizzling steak was so chewy it was inedible.
Very disappointing, will not be going back again.

Came here for a birthday dinner for a family member with a group of around 10 people. For an entree, we ordered a dish which was deep fried prawns wrapped around a lychee. It was extremely exceptional with wonderful taste, and something I had never tried before!
For mains we ordered stir-fried mixed vegetables, and a coral trout, which was cooked in 3 different ways. The stir-fried mixed vegetables was nice, although it is pretty common and easy to cook well. One way the coral trout was cooked was steamed and served with tofu. This one was exceptional, the flavour was really good, the tofu was soft and silky, and the fish was cooked perfectly! Another way was stir fried with mushrooms and snowpeas, with the fish wrapped around vegetables (spring onions, carrots, mushrooms, etc.). This one was alright, wasn't super outstanding for us. The final way the fish was cooked was, again, wrapped around vegetables, but this time cooked like salt and pepper squid. The flavour was good, but the combination of it being wrapped around the vegetables was a little funny for us. For desert we had chopped fruit (rockmelon, pawpaw, pineapple and orange), and mango & saigo pudding with ice cream. The mango & saigo pudding with ice cream was extremely nice.
The service and waiters were very good.
Overall, it is a very good restaurant with attentive waiters, the only thing holding it back was the slightly strange combination of fish wrapped around vegetables.

Rude staff providing rude service. Also expensive given the quality of food. Very disappointing overall.

Cheapest yumcha place I’ve been to but one of the best imo, only paid 57 for 5 dishes which would normally cost 65+. Taro puffs which were more savoury than other places, also had shrimp inside which was chefs kiss. Chicken feet were amazing too, super soft. White tripe was good. BBQ pork puffs were meaty, pastry wasn’t the flakiest but yum nonetheless. Rice wrapped youtiao was so fresh and crunchy, defs eat it while it’s fresh. Scrumpdiddlyumptious

Wonderful service and wonderful food. Went back for the 1st time in 5 years (I now live interstate) and they remembered me and my family!

Went to this restaurant for Chinese New Year Eve reunion dinner. Two banquets booked for $1498 per table. Terrible!
Venue was understaffed and not able to cope with the number of bookings. Typical attitude of management to accept more bookings knowing they can't deal with the numbers.
Food was late, portion sizes were smaller than usual for a banquet, waited too long between courses, wait staff were inexperienced and other patrons who came later, were served before us.
Management was unapologetic and nothing was done to attempt to right the situation.
Such a disappointing dinner that should have been a significant celebration.
No need to come here for the mediocre experience.
Best thing about the night was the car parking and courtesy golf cart service

Very ordinary.a dinner that went for 4hrs! Taste was ordinary and service atrocious. What a way to bring in Chinese New Year! Hope this is the lowest we'll feel for the year.

They had authentic food and staff but the quality was very bad, the prawn dumpling was completely off and I have been feeling sick for days now. Not that affordable either.

Not traditional yum cha anymore, now you order off a card. Took 30 mins for the first one to come out, was still there an hour later and two of the 7 dishes we ordered still hadn’t come, so we left without getting the last two. For 5 dishes of dumplings and two cokes it was $68, used to go all the time, won’t ever again unfortunately

My 3rd visit over a number of year's. Food is wonderful, fresh and hot. Service is above and beyond. Staff are very friendly and accommodating.
Highly recommend going for Yum Cha.
The picture is of the Duck being cut at table side for Duck pancakes. It's a great experience for the kid's to see. I think they enjoyed it more being done at the table. Well done with providing a Covid safe version of Yum Cha, seeing as the trolleys can't be done at the current time.
Well done and will be back very soon.

Worst yum cha place ever. Food is tasteless with limited options. We ordered white beef tripe and brown beef tripe, both were not cooked properly, couldn’t chew through. White beef tripe was cold inside.

Worst when we came to pay the bill. We got charge for over $40 for 6 pieces of pucking duck and only found out it’s $38 for half duck come with 6 pieces. We argued we shouldn’t be charged more for the same serve of food. The manager was so rude pointing finger at us saying we need to pay more since we didn’t know how to place the order. Seriously, that is the way you serve your customer? Will never come back for either food or service.

Certainly not the best Chinese food I have tasted, but sure is the most expensive!
A couple of the dishes were ok but the other couple were ordinary to say the least. That all would have been somewhat acceptable if it was reasonably priced, however I got the shock of my life with the bill at the end of the meal.
There are no prices listed, at least not in English anyway, so I ended up paying at least double the price of what was only half the quality the meal should have been.
My recommendation is to save yourself a lot of money and get a better quality meal elsewhere.
I will certainly never return there.

The food are splendid, the manager recommend us the pipis clam and spicy crab with the bun.
My dad couldn't stop taking about these 2 dishes and can't wait to go back. The other dishes are very delicious too!

Unfortunately the food is so delicious we forgot to take pictures of the food.

The food tasted good
BUT
I ordered peking duck pancakes- they informed me that I am getting 1/2 of the duck- I agreed, but as soon as they served us 3 pancakes each = 6 together. They took the duck back to the kitchen where was still a lot of meat and I would love to finish it if I am paying for it!

Fantastic cantonese food, better then most of the popular chinese seafood restaurants, old fashion service, peking duck served with crispy skin and follow by sang choy bow as second cause lovely, highly recommended.
