You can always rely on a great food and dining experience here. Care is always taken for allergy considerations and the allergy options are extensive. Staff are always welcoming and helpful. A great night out and perfect for special occasions.

Classic Yum Cha experience :) service was a bit difficult at times as our table was tucked away in a corner, but the food was delicious and the dumplings were amazing.

We enjoyed a yum cha lunch as a table of 7. Very tasty food and great views from 2nd floor of the Yarra River. We will be back :)

An awesome place. A yum cha/Chinese restaurant without MSG and with GF options is so thoughtful and is helping people lead healthier lives. Thank you so much. I am grateful to have been able to come to this amazing place and experience the delicious food and great service. We are from Sydney, and will definitely visit here again next time we come to Melbourne. 👍🏻😋

Food was beautiful, what we had was value for money. Staff where polite but not a very warm experience, they seemed to be like robots. Overall I recommend giving it a go.

Pretty much a good experience but there were spider webs on the outer section railings. Need to be a clean place if they want to place a table there.

Excellent food, my friend recommended we try it out. Due to restriction laws, very quiet, but the atmosphere was perfect. Front of house staff and the manager were very entertaining. The price of each dish compared to portion could be a bit better, but nevertheless, excellent food. Probably the softest kangaroo meat I have had in Melbourne.

I have been attending this restaurant for over 20 years so naturally it was the number one choice to celebrate my birthday with my daughter today, it may be a different venue to 20 years ago but as per usual absolutely delicious, service is always spot on and we are always made welcome, so happy that you are open to the public again after the CoVID-19 restrictions.

Food was very average in flavour and some of the dishes were tasteless. $60 per head for optional Yum Cha "All you can eat" is very over priced. No offers of Tea or Mocktails, coffee was terrible.

Food is ok, overpriced and they are in a hurry when your meal is over to usher you out and we hadn't really finished our drink. No customer focus and rude.
