♿ = There is a ramp and it is bright and spaceous⭐ = It took us a long while to be seated, though the restaurant was relatively empty. The waitress was polite, but I asked her for a dish with no onions, and she brought the dish /with/ onions. She looked at the dish and saw the onions, appeared a bit mift, but then said "no onions", as if saying it would make the onions magically disappear. We sort of felt bad for her and just picked the onions out, but yikes. My date had the Singapore noodles and was underwhelmed.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to enter

The service is good, the environment is beautiful.but the food is really average. I thought I could eat handmade barbecued pork buns, but I was a little disappointed.

Servers were rude. Food was ok, nothing special. The XLB came with an interesting red sauce. It’s not spicy or has a taste but kind of looks off. It tasted like one of the frozen XLBs, definitely not fresh made back in the kitchen. Decent song picks, was playing Eason Chan’s song list.

There seemed to be a misunderstanding with the meal. I will explain it clearly to the waiter next time.

Get the pea sprouts with ginkgo nuts - and everything else. So good! Steak with tofu! Epic flavour bomb.

This is a Cantonese dim sum restaurant. As compared to others of this caliber (any restaurant offering specialized teas), I found the food so so. The liquid gold buns (I do not know what the correct name is - see picture) was not liquid; it was on the solid side. As you can see from the pictures, the sauces on the dishes was kind of gelled. For dim sum, food should be temperature hot, otherwise, it gels up. Service was okay. I had to flag the server many times to refill the teapot. This restaurant is a favorite for Chinese banquets like for a wedding or red egg ginger baby party because it seats 500 people with no obstructed view. It also has t.v. monitors so if the emcee or someone is speaking, you will be able to see it from any table. There is a public parking lot. Our wait time was 30 minutes.
