We had a table for six people and your table is pointed out for you to find yourself and the service didn't get better from there. The food is really average and doesn't have the authentic flavours it normally does at Yum Cha, Chinese veggies were ok though. Really expensive considering we only ordered one beer and the rest had soft drink so the meals had to be overpriced to reach the bill total we were given. We were super disappointed as this was rated online as being good so maybe it was just a bad day......let's hope so anyway.

maybe they just have a good location so easy for people to get to instead of good food...

this is a wonderful Cantonese Style cuisine Restaurant with a large range of seafood dishes along with other fine fare. The service is good and the setting lovely. I can personally highly recommend their Lobster, it is divine.
we usually go for diner and park at the wilson car park in Market street which has a $8 flat rate after 5pm.

As we now visit a huge range of yum cha restaurants in the city we have realised that this yum cha is in particular a lot more expensive than others. For example they charge double the rate of tea than Golden Harbour. The waiting time is ridiculous too- the line sometimes goes to the door (down the stairs). It also isn't very baby-friendly as you have to carry the pram all the way up.

I came here for yum cha before my graduation. The place is pretty crowded, but the food is quite tasty.

Quite expensive even with 25% discount

The yum cha here is good but it is always crowded and the price is quite high. Not the best if you're in a hurry and I found a better place near the Entertainment Centre.

I went here for my first lunch meeting between my boyfriend and my parents. The food was exceptionally prepared and the service was the best. Good range of variety in the yum cha selection, and the atmosphere was not too loud. Good for a first serious meeting place.

It used to be my family's favourite place to eat yum cha in the city, but it grew so popular the line sometimes is out the door! The wine is very average but overpriced and it has no trolleys full of food anymore- it is now ordered on a slip which breaks the traditional yum cha! However the food is nice and good and if there happens to be no queue, check in and try it out!

It is the worst Chinese restaurant which charge that high price. For dinner, the service is the worst. the waiter did shout at me. For YumCha, the food is smelly, i recommend the food is from yesterday. It is not fresh. I won't go there anymore.

Approximate cost: $19

Went there couple times for Yum Cha with family. It was OK. Not my favourate Yum Cha place though. Never been there for dinner, so won't comment on that.

One of the better choices in Chinatown for proper Chinese- not bastardised Chinese food like a lot of the places on the mall. Good qality yum cha and seafood and a more simple modern look than most of the big Chinese places.
