"Best honey chicken I’ve ever had. Plum wine was amazing, service was friendly. Venue was gorgeous. Prices were great. Thanks guys!"
"This Chinese restaurant is a hidden gem! Their food is incredibly fresh and bursting with delicious flavors. The staff's friendly nature adds warmth to the dining experience. Highly recommended!"
"Amazing service.. our glasses were never empty. Food was really good and great value too.. As for the atmosphere.. , the place looks amazing.. a nice classic Asia look with light-on-the-ear music."
"The worst yum cha / dim sum I’ve ever had. Anything with “prawn” featured far more filler than prawn. The prawns used anyway, if you could find them, were the tiny shrimp you would bait a fishing rod with that didn’t taste of anything. The dough on the prawn rice roll (which was 95% dough) was thick and unpleasant, like eating a glue stick wrapped around 3 tasteless shrimps. Same story for prawn sesame toast and fried prawn in bean curd skin. Pork and prawn siu mai - no prawn / shrimp to be seen at all. The scallop dumplings were devoid of scallop entirely, using a single weird shrimp and some revolting white paste? You would think as a to-order system with items coming out of the kitchen as soon as they are ready would mean they are piping hot, but most were warm-ish at best. Even if we pretend it’s not a yum cha place and you just wanted to eat decent food - this place isn’t it. The worst part is how expensive it all was, presumably for the non-existent prawns. An absolute disgrace."
"Arthur and the owner Aunty Chen are very friendly. They make you feel like home. Apart from the dishes from the menu, you can also call and tell them what you like and order customised private dishes. Service is definitely 5 star. The restaurant is nice and quiet which is good for friends gathers and chat. Definitely first preference Chinese restaurant for our family."
