| - Having read several other reviews, I am highly amused by the trend of being denied water despite multiple requests -- a trend that persisted during our visit today. We, a party of four, asked for water once, and were given two glasses. Fine. We asked again, and were given none. We then went to refill our two glasses ourselves, only to have the waitress apologize to us (???).
The patchy service extended to the eating utensils. Some items were presented with one utensil, others with none and yet another with four.
To be fair, service depended heavily on the waiter or waitress. We stayed for over 2 hours, and different waitstaff came in for their shift towards the end of our visit. The service then was excellent. Extremely polite, attentive, and helpful.
The desserts are innovative and delicious, but on the pricey side. However, if you're looking to try something novel, you're certain to find something here piques your interest here. The coconut ho fan is as odd as it is amazing -- strips of coconut flesh cut the the size and width of rice ho fan. There are combinations of "soup bases" (eg. coconut milk, watermelon juice, mango juice) and different toppings. The Taste of Uji is a nice combination: green tea ho fan, red bean, mochi sago and coconut milk.
The fries are also super crispy and tasty!
The seating is not that spacious, so I wouldn't recommend coming with a party of larger than 8. The ambiance is great for chatting though. It's casual, the lighting is not too bright, and there is soft Chinese pop music playing in the background.
