Our experience was ok. We were there for Dim Sum. I had to get up and ask for certain dishes, and eventually, they told us that some people don't like some of the food and they don't make a lot of it, so if we wanted, for example, chicken feet or tripe etc. we would have to order it from the menu. It is a trolley service and it was slow and the choices were very limited. I was quite disappointed especially since I took a few friends for their first time experiencing Dim Sum.

A lovely dining experience. The only glitch was that the 4th main meal finally arrived about 15 minutes after the three other main meals.

Rude waitress. Opted for AYCE for $75 per person and she refused to offer dishes until we have finished what on our table. Wonder if she would refuse if we were not on AYCE... Her job is to serve the customers not to decide who should get how much food when they have already paid for AYCE.

I have been going for over 20 years. What has gone wrong ? The quality of the last 2 meals has been terrible. I will not come back. Clearly the compromise on the quality of food is the new standard
