Ordered the Special Signature Noodle Set lunch. The noodles were chewy and enjoyable but the vinegar used for seasoning was a bit too strong. The chilli provided did the trick though, it made the dish enjoyable. The set also came with Gui Lin jelly with sea coconut as toppings, 2 fried spring rolls, a cold dish consisting of cucumber and peanuts and a cup of tea. The side dishes were all as to be expected, nothing special about them. The nice thing is that the tea was refillable.

Our group had lunch here and found the service to be good. Portions were terribly small especially for the prices. For instance, the drunken chicken was nice but very small. We liked a few dishes like the wontons in vinegar and chilli, and the dow miao with minced meat. The xiao long baos were okay as well.

There are 4 types of noodles to choose from for the signature noodle; we chose no 3. The noodle sauce came with Chye Poh but was more sour than salty due to the vinegar. The crispy prawn pancake was a little crispy and normal tasting. We ordered the 3 types of Xiao Long bao which was original, salted egg and chilli crab. The skin is thicker than usual. The salted egg taste wasn’t very strong, more of the texture. The chilli crab was more sweet than anything else.

Basically trash. Horrible food, horribly overpriced and worst of all, horrible staff. The fried rice tastes like it came from some cheap rice flavouring mixed with rice. Pork chop tasted burnt and was soaked in oil. To top it off, the steamed dumplings were nowhere near worth the $7.50. I warn thee who wishes to eat here, only do so in extreme hunger with no other options. They also gave a discount voucher AFTER you dine (what’s the point of that?) and when I tried to give it to a neighbouring couple ordering their food the waitress just came and took it out of my hands. What the fishcake? The staff feels very poorly trained and probably underpaid for the cost of the food there. A meal for two cost $45. Overall, won’t recommend at all. Nada. Zilch. Zero.
