    Our third visit for yum cha in the past 6 weeks, whilst the seafood dumplings were full of seafood and great taste , 2 of our dishes were nearly cold, less than lukewarm warm, which we did not encounter on previous visits.

    Service was attentive with plenty of servers, but half of the food was lukewarm upon arrival to table (maybe due to large area the trolleys cover), very wide open space, hard to carry conversations at times. Toilet on the outside too.

    Steamed dim sum not hot enough. At 1st we thought only one dish but ended up a few steamed dim sum dishes we ordered were not hot enough. Still a bit cold in the middle.

    A good choice hosting guests from China. Can't match to food that they have access to but attentive service made the experience a good one. Some Yum Cha servings were a little cold.
