| - I was pretty excited to try this place as I heard excellent comments about their dim sum, but sadly I would say this place is average at most. The interior design of this restaurant is more modern compared to other Chinese cuisines.
We arrived around 10:45am and was told it would be around a 15 minute wait but we waited around half an hour for a table.
The washrooms are upstairs and each washroom is it's own separate stall with sink.
The dim sum prices are comparable to other high end cuisines, like Casa Imperial or Casa Victoria. The dim sum is around average, but the presentation is more elegant.
Anything with bamboo charcoal is very instagrammable, but I found the texture very grainy. The bamboo charcoal and egg yolk bun is a lava bun, which not many dim sum places offer. The durian filling in the bamboo charcoal tart was very creamy and filled with durian.
We asked for chili oil THREE times for the cashew nut, chicken and vegetable dumplings, but we never got it. All other dim sum places usually serve this dumpling with the chili oil, but not here. Also, I find that peanuts would be better than cashews as they have a more nutty taste.
The shrimp and scallop dumplings are cute, but no scallop taste at all.
The seafood crepe with chives didn't have much seafood and tasted very bland.
Overall, this place is average at most.
