The service is always very attentive..sometimes too attentive!! The food is always excellent and very generous servings which is good as the dishes are expensive compared to most Chinese restaurants. We had the salt and pepper prawns and they were so good! Would recommend to all who like good Chinese food. The Vat 47 Chardonnay is also excellent value and a top drop!

Fast and exceptional service by the staff. They knew we were going to the Lyric Theatre after so the food came out incredibly quick and the food choices were mouth watering. I would go back there again in a heartbeat.

Great food just need to notify customers that XO sauce has bacon and pork. It's just in case people don't eat it.

Staff very pleasant. Entrees (dim sim and dumplings) seemed undercooked. Main meal came out while we were still eating the entree.

They served mains before starters..all at once. They forced the pace to try rush out the door in one hour. Not worth the price. Never going back.

Very poor food, average setting with no atmosphere. Overall very substandard. I’ve had better chinese takeaways for 1/4 of the price. Don’t waste your time.

Disappointing and confusing would sum up this restaurant. The food was average for big Chinese restaurants. Quality produce adequately prepared to a standard Chinese menu. The service was another story. Confusion and unprefessionalism would define the wait staff. An abundance of staff who meandered aimlessly whilst our drinks went unpoured, dirty dishes uncleared and napkins not delivered. Not worth returning to when there are far better options in the city. Places like Zilver, East Ocean and Phoenix come to mind. Such prime real estate in The Star is wasted on such a lacklustre example of Chinese cuisine.

Live Pippies in Xo Sauce was as amazing as their Golden Century headquarters, perhaps overly efficient service doesn’t leave you alone long enough to enjoy your meal :-)

A nice meal, but really quite expensive. We chose this as we were seeing a show at the Lyric theatre. Lots of staff on the floor, not the most relaxing experience, being surveyed by the wait staff lined up along the wall!

Waiters hovering and rushing us. Not very pleasant, felt pressure to eat and run. Food / wine was very nice but couldn’t relax because of the hovering. 5 dishes didn’t need to come out all at once, they get cold. The price is $$$.

Great food, average service though. Staff were unhelpful at times and language barrier was a little frustrating. Wouldn’t pay that much again for that level of service.

The food was wonderful however the setting is far from the hype set out in it's website. There's nothing flash about it and certainly no WOW factor. It's a standard Chinese eatery set in the Casino premises with great food. The place was quite drab and boring. It felt as though it was in a temporary place awaiting renovation.

We booked in for Yum Cha on Sunday morning, as advertised on the website. Once we arrived we were advised that there was a yum cha menu but they weren't doing yum cha today. We were the first sitting, and they had run out of Prawn dumplings already, the only dumplings on the menu. The food was fantastic as it always is, however a Father who LOVES yum cha was left feeling dissapointed on Fathers Day, when we could have gone elsewhere had we known in advance.

We arrived at the restaurant and basically got seated on a table that couldn’t fit 6 children on it and shoved in a room with 2 tables that had 20 people on each. Not a good way to start a special night and would think about coming back here again.

The service was impeccable Wide selection of menu options The honey chicken literally melted in your mouth The satay chicken was cooked to perfection, and the satay sauce was light The fried rice needed a little more seasoning I have to say, I have say, it will be difficult to enjoy Chinese food anywhere else now that we've eaten at The Century. Highly recommend

Food was great, service was great, however a little rushed, felt like they were rushing us to get the next sitting on our table! Would go back for the food, and order entree first and say we will order main when we get the entree.

Food was fantastic, however the wait time was not so good. We waited over 1 hour for our table even though we had rang through and advise them that we were stuck in traffic and would be there in approx 15 mins.
