Came here dim sum on Saturday. Was looking forward to it from all the good reviews.
My impression of this restaurant is that it is opulent and way over the top. There's marble throughout the restaurant but when you look closer, much is faux marble. Table clothes feels like silk and the dishes is made for the restaurant. There's many chandeliers which makes this place overly decorated. Many find it to be elegant. However, I find it too pretentious for my taste.
Food was above average. I do like the Goose Liver Siu Mai but the caviar does nothing to the taste. Honey Glazed Short Ribs is tasty and the Curry Baby Squid is delicious. The Shark Fin Dumpling in Soup was disappointing. Portions are so off that there's no filling of the dumpling and the soup tastes bland. Fried tentacles should be light golden colour but we got it in dark chocolate colour which means it is over fried.
Service is horrendous. 1) Manager came to our table when we asked for the Fried Tentacles to be replaced, however she wouldn't obliged saying that we don't know anything about Chinese Dim Sum and says this is how it suppose to be. 2) We asked for a bill. The manager tells me to pay at the cashier meanwhile she's holding the wireless credit card terminal. I asked if I can pay using the terminal, she says this is for VIPs. 3) So I paired my bills at the cashier. Gave them no tip. The cashier lady immediate notice this and chase me down the aisle saying I didn't pay tip and I should pay 10%. I said to her who said?!
Will not come back unless friends and family invited me.
