| - This is baby restaurant - by that I mean they opened too prematurely. Service is subpar. They need to train their staff beforehand and get a hold of teamwork before dealing with customers. When you walk in, you can tell who the managers are with authority, and their employees are shy.
When I intentionally went to this new place for high tea on a Sunday with my mom, we figured.. new place, we'll order something safe. She ordered a wonton noodle and I ordered a baked tomato sauce pork chop rice. Her's came out almost immediately, while I had to wait about 45 minutes for mine. We had to follow-up on the order twice. My mom said, after following-up the first time is probably when the girl tapped our order into the computer and she didn't bother coming back to apologize or update. While waiting, several tables around us had missing items too - clearly no communication going on behind the counter. Honestly, I thought to myself "Why didn't I go to Peachtree? Or FMP? At least there, I could've been served in under an hour".
Also, this was irrelevant to my table, but I heard the table next to us order congee. The staff returned to inform them that they were all out of congee. And get this: they were out of the small congee, but they have Large Bowl congee. ....WHAT? You have congee in your name and you're out of congee?? Well, there's a reason you are MISS congee, y'can't compete with the Kings and the Queens.
For a HK style restaurant, I did not see a menu for afternoon tea. I thought I'd try asking if it could possibly come with a drink (I later heard other tables asking it too) - "Not yet" was the reply.
Food is mediocre - the wonton had puréed stuffing, not the actual shrimp. While I agree they have an extensive menu, they don't have "combo" menus that I personally like to go for - with that, I felt as if they hastily put together the menu so they can get the restaurant opened for business. Not well-thought out, especially with the fierce competition in the neighbourhood. They need to rethink their menu options. Reno & decor is nice, but obviously because they're new.
I would not come back here, they need to develop. Such a big place too, shame. If i do come back, Id give them at least a year to see if they improve - if they last.
