    Sounds like a bit of a hit or miss but i thought their service and food was GREAT. One of my favourite restaurants to eat now.

    What a disappointing experience. I took my friends (from Italy) here on the basis of a well know food critic for one of the best Yum Cha.

    Absolutely worst service I have experienced.The service was horrendous, we ordered suckling pig with jelly fish, steamed kai-lan and a bowl of rice, 40 minutes for food to arrive with only one dish and no vegetables or rice, when we finished and asked for the bill I mentioned about the rice and the vegetables, they simply walked away to get them.

    When the bill came the problem began. The restaurant tried to charge me $22 for the bowl of kai-lan (chinese broccoli). As the wait staff had disappeared I requested the senior staff. I explained the situation and instead of discussing it they became rude.

    Staff were unhelpful and stood around either laughing or yawning.
    I was incredibly insulted considering the fact a scene was made and they were treating me like a senseless person.

    Never again will I go back to this restaurant.

    One of my favourite places, that's for sure.
    Been here few times and this restaurant got my nicely surprised. Atmosphere is just great, the staff being friendly, polite and welcoming improve it even more.
    The food is outstanding, big and delicious dishes, a wide selection in the menu. There's a little thing that bothers me a bit, and that's the place is pretty busy, so it may get hard to book a table, but that's understandable, after all this restaurant is the best!
    Last, but not least, prices are reasonable so that's not something to worry about. Highly recommended!

    Fiends invited us as part of some special event. Duck was hard to find, lobster 'old and tough' no taste, prawns were OK, rice was shocking. Overall disappointed. Ordered coffees at 9am to be told they ran out of milk... Great effort, too lazy to stroll 20 meters to a seven 11 to get some. Wouldn't return to this place.

    I went for yamcha with my family on weekend. The place is very busy. But the food is nice and I guess it worth for the wait.
