Vegetarian fried rice was terrible ! Sent it back and they replaced it with an equally terrible Singapore noodles with a large dried out clump in the middle , definitely not cooked fresh ! Overpriced bad quality preheated food that's been sitting around for hours before being served ! For the price there are so many better restaurants , please save your money and avoid this one !

Despite having booked for Mother’s Day, there was no record of our booking. We only found this out after standing in a queue with other people who had made a booking too. No apology was forthcoming from the maitre d, who at best can be described as arrogant. We waited half an hour for drinks, and more than hour for our food to be served. The food is good, but for what you are paying, you would expect much better service, or at least some service.

Excellent Chinese Restaurant with quality food & service. Staff were great, attentive and the location is second to none with a great atmosphere.

Approximate cost: $30

This was ok Yum Cha, I wouldn't write home about anything I ate but i ate enough, the usual nothing fancy. For the price i'd rather go elsewhere next time, went with the office and we'll try somewhere different next time.
I will say the service was great though, but not enough to pay extra for

Good restaurant for good chinese food, though a bit pricey for what it is (gotta pay the rent somehow I suppose...). Location and decor are excellent. Service is a bit up and down though normally pretty good. Not a bad place for group gatherings - just be prepared to fork over some serious cash if you want to eat a lot.

Only been here for the yum cha. My company executives loves coming to this place, and so everytime we have celebrations this is the place we'd come to. Personally this would not be my first choice for yum cha because it is slightly more expensive than other yum cha places. I guess the higher price is due to the location and ambience of this restaurant.

The restaurant has been recently moved from its location near Jeff's Shed to a position where the Automatic Cafe used to be. The quality of the food is comparable with a good to very good yum cha place and the variety on offer is okay, however the pricing of baskets and plates are five star prices for about three to four star quality dishes. We had about 12 baskets/plates and the bill came to just under $100. That's pretty pricey for three people. The decor and setting is markedly improved reflecting an new avant garde Chinese restaurant and there's a large fish tank at the front of the restaurant. If you go for the setting, this is probably not a bad place to go. However if you're a real gourmet, it always comes down to the food - as Channel 10's Masterchefs say, it all comes down to taste!

The trolleys have video screens running showing other dishes/baskets on offer. Unfortunately the service is very lacking and we had to continually flag a waitress down to refill the tea, ask for chilli sauce and even the bill! Then there was inflexibility as the waitress serving yum cha on the trolley refused to help us call a service waitress to help with obtaining the bill! As far as yum cha is concerned, the quality is good and we were surprised to find "real" shark fin in the shark fin and har gau dumplings. Taste wise it is almost on par with THE place to go for yum cha which is Taipan in Doncaster East - if you want top notch Yum Cha and are prepared to travel, Taipan is still the preferred place and with better pricing too!

Overall:

The good - nice decor, location, reasonable quality food
The not so good - service is two star, prices are five star - doesn't match food which is three star!

Approximate cost: $8-12
