Delicious hot piping steamed dim sum dishes are served on traditional trolley style service. The cheung fun noodles with prawns are fresh and delicious as good as a prawn dumplings.

Was okay, the staff was friendly but not much variety of dimsims from the cart and very slow had to wait ages for a noodle dish which the waiter forgot and had to ask again. Desert trolley came once and never again. We did go at 1pm but still an okay experience. And a little pricey

Great food, attentive staff - much better in a group for yum cha. There were a few very sad looking couples just sitting at small tables on their phones and they missed the whole vibe.

We have switched to Red Emperor as our city Yum Cha place now after this initial try. Food is good quality and customer service levels are very high. Food could be less salty though.

The food quality was great but the waiting service staff was very poor, The wait staff were disinterested and made us feel like we were an imposition, We had a large table and had to ask multiple times for chilli sauce, limited food was bought out on the trolleys so we often had to order extra from the kitchen and we had to ask for desserts to be bought out, very ordinary
