An awesome place. A yum cha/Chinese restaurant without MSG and with GF options is so thoughtful and is helping people lead healthier lives. Thank you so much. I am grateful to have been able to come to this amazing place and experience the delicious food and great service. We are from Sydney, and will definitely visit here again next time we come to Melbourne. 👍🏻😋
