| - I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I came here for dim sum, as I heard that this was a "fancier" restaurant and I've always been a bit uncomfortable with super high end dim sum. They have a decent number of food items on the menu for dim sum, and our group was seated inside a nice room. The decorations are very modern and nice and not typical of a Chinese restaurant. Inside the room, we also had a dedicated staff member help us refill the tea pot and collect our orders. That was certainly a plus.
The food: our group ordered a number of dim sum items, and I have to say that they were all fairly good. The plain rice noodle rolls really stood out to me, they were silky smooth and delicious. On top of the regular hoisin and peanut sauce, it also came with a mango sauce. Quite interesting, and good. On top of dim sum, we ordered a plate of veggies and a tan-tan noodle bowl. The noodles were a bit disappointing, as they only had one flavour: spice. Maybe the kitchen forgot other flavouring that morning? The presentation of some of the food items was interesting, and their twist on it was equally unique. For example, I love lotus leaf rice. Yu's take on it was to serve 3 portions of it, unwrapped, and in a long rectangular shape. It also seemed as though the top of the rice was quickly pan fried, so it was slightly crunchy. 3 small pieces of pan fried chicken accompanied the dish on the side. It was good, but not what I was looking for.
Overall, I had a positive experience here. Maybe one day I will get the chance to try some of their famous seafood during dinner. They have impressive display tanks near the front entrance, filled with giant lobsters and king crabs.
