| - i hate paying a lot for mediocre chinese food. we came w/ a group of about 18, so we had to get the prix fixe menu for $118. the portions were sooo small, and i was barely full.
for apps, we had the fried dim sum sampler, short ribs and scallops. there was basically one rib to share and then one scallop for each person. the dim sum were pretty good. the entrees were even smaller. the prawns in claypot consisted mainly of onions, and there was not even a prawn for each person. the duck was the thinnest, least meaty duck i've ever had. the seabass was by far the best dish, but i wish there was more of it. the beef was good, but it was like one piece of steak for 5 people to share. the only dish that came in abundance was the fried rice, which was more like white rice w/ some salt on it.
there were 2 desserts, a coconut pudding w/ caramelized pineapple and a choc thing which looked like a kit kat bar. again...small.
after drinks, tax and tip, it was $200 a person. what a ripoff. flavors were fine, hence more than 1 star, but i would never go back.
