   What a disappointment it was!!!! We went for the 2nd sitting on a Saturday. Half the dishes were still empty from the 1st sitting. The steam section hardly had any food. NO oysters... wow!!!! What happened to this place?? I know owners changed but the quality shouldn't. We are paying more for heaps less. $72 per person. There were less dishes with half empty chafing dishes. The savoury salads were on the desert section. There were 3 cocktails on the menu, opposed to the cocktail menu they had previously. I ordered the Espresso Martini and it was the worst I've ever tasted. My grown kids ordered the long Island ice tea, when it came to the table, the colour of it ( a dirty green) was a total put off. The taste was so yuck! This place used to be pumping, the vibe use to be so great, but now there was hardly anyone on a Saturday night. I wonder why?? The only positive I can give, is the service. There were ample staff on the floor and the were accomadating. It is safe to say that we will never ever sight this place again. It was so dissapointing !!

   Didn't enjoy tonight as much as other nights. Everytime I got up the food was gone and had to wait ages for food to be restocked. In 2 hours 1 particular dish was only replaced once. Didn't get our money worth at all. We usually come once a fortnight and after tonight's experience I won't be back for quite a while or will go elsewhere. Very disappointed. I had 1 plate of food in total. And 2 prawns. Not very happy. Wasn't the best experience for our anniversary celebration.

   Not worth the money. Paid $48 per person for zero variety. No fruits, sushi, ice cream and very low quality food. Would not recommend.

   Food was disappointing this time around. The variety has been severely cut down and everything just tasted very bland. The apple juice that was ordered was sour as well. Staff were super lovely however and even got treated to a live singer on stage at the end of the night. Would I come back? No. However there is a lot of fond memories eating here in the past

    The quality of the food was amazing and fresh, especially considering it was a budget!! I wouldn’t have known- exactly restaurant quality. We had yum cha and the dishes with prawns actually contained full prawns not just minced Highly recommend
