Authentic Chinese food at its finest!♡Our tummies were quite full and satisfied after leaving the table in our private function room. There were dedicated waitstaff all around to cater to our requests. I love how fresh and hot the dishes were served...and they all tasted absolutely amazing. The only downside, most siomai/dumplings came with shrimp mixed in it. Too bad for those with allergies like me. The restaurant had a really posh feel to it and needless to say, we would definitely be back for more.

The first time I ate here, I was disappointed but I decided to give it another chance. Today, all my disappointments were confirmed. Several waiters would receive our different orders and they have different interpretations on the "rules of ordering". Thus, our appetizer was a bowl of confusion. Letting that slide, I ordered a selection of dimsum which were satisfactory but nothing awesome. Then they brought in my seafood spinach soup which was not only flavorless but half-way through it I realized it was not worth finishing. They brought in "yang chow" style rice which tasted old, like days old. It was just as flavorless as the soup. To wipe the taste of the consumed food from my mouth, I ordered dessert which was the almond curd and lychee combo. The perfect horrible end to a horrible meal. The lychees were sour and the curd was just bland. As more customers arrived, the service went from bad to worse. I asked one of the waiters what is the name of the dish he served on our table, but he could not identify what it was. I normally have no problem paying expensive for a meal but the prices they charge here are not justified by the quality of their food.
