WE recently went here for a work lunch. you need to get here before 12pm otherwise the queues are huge and on sunday, this restaurant is very popular so get there early. Its very good for basic yum cha/dim sum - steamed dumplings, wantons, spring rolls, rice rolls, congee and rice and noodles. The service is "brisk" and its pretty... More

This appealing second floor place in Chinatown serves the best dim sum anywhere we have been, including home-base NY, Hong Kong, Hawaii, etc. Everything is cooked to order, as opposed to the cute roving carts often seen. You order yourself, guided by the list which has many photos of items. Wonderful flavors and combination of ingredients such as snow peal... More

This restaurant was recommended by the hotel (Conrad Centennial) and was also in the DK Eyewitness Travel Book. I asked for a table by the window and they said it was for a larger group; but then they sat two people there. We had a variety of waitresses, all of whom could care less. Ordered a springroll, bok choy, and... More

I loved this place. The more the merrier! Not the most straight forward way to find the entrance, but clear enough. Once up on the 2nd Floor, you get welcomed by... people queuing! But do not give up, because the turn-over rate is factory-like and you will be seated in no time. I think I waited 10 or 15 min... More

We were recommended this restaurant - went for yum cha, steamed dumplings were great, Peking duck pancakes yummy and fried prawn wontons great. Spring rolls only average. Friendly service and a mix of local and western customers. 6 dishes, peanuts and 3 soft drinks cost $S36. Would definately return

From the moment we entered the staff were sour and certainly far from sweet. No help was offered ordering and when the bland dull food arrived we had to ask for bowls which were ceremoniously dumped still stacked on the table, how a place like this exists I do not know, maybe they just don't like foreigners and are happy...
