Great experience all around! Really nice, thoughtful service by our waitress. Food was great, we felt lucky to have found this spot (pictured, with labels) We also got some drinks - shandy beer, soy milk with pandan jelly. And ended with some hot jasmine tea - the perfect end cap.

An absolute must! We took part in the unlimited dim sum lunch and it was fantastic! We had so much fun picking different dishes to try and everything we had was delicious and flavourful!

Very authentic Taiwanese street food, brought me back to my days in Taiwan. The oyster omelette was spot on, and glutinous rice with minced pork is a treat. If you don’t like beef noodle soup, try the stir fried beef noodle with sacha sauce. It’s the dry cousin version of the soup with more savory notes and chewy fried noodles. I will definitely come back again

The Xiao Long Bao here is absolutely divine—delicately crafted with a flavorful, rich broth inside that bursts with every bite. Every other dish we ordered was equally delightful, especially the braised pork belly, which was incredibly tender and infused with the most aromatic and comforting spices. While I can’t quite remember the exact name of the dish, the flavors were truly memorable. The overall experience was satisfying and heartwarming—perfect for anyone craving comforting, authentic flavors in a cozy and welcoming setting.

Honestly the food was authentic, tasty and memorable. We were there on Chinese new year and it was still very welcoming. We queued for a short time and then enjoyed our feast. We were greeted by the Chinese dragon dancers midway as part of the celebrations. Really recommend it. As it highlights their ability to still maintain great food even at the busiest periods. Enjoy the big noodle soup paired with lots of dim sums and bits you enjoy.

Such amazing dumplings. We went for bottomless dumplings and feel like we got a bargain. Get to order 3 things per person for first round, 2 things per person for second round and the 1 thing each there after. All the food was amazing. Particular favours being the shrimp puffs and the prawn rolls. Very quick service for first two rounds. Little harder to grab a member of staff after that - although it did get quite busy whilst there. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Each portion size was actually quite big which we were impressed with. Also got a yummy mango juice. Highly recommend for dumping fans. Also got some chicken fried rice and noodles which were also both delicious (and included in the deal). Bought the times voucher before hand. Otherwise just paid for an additional Coke and service charge.

We did the bottomless dim sum time out voucher. The service was excellent, food came out really quickly and everything was so hot, fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend!

My family and I had the 24 bottomless dim sum (available on Time Out) and really enjoyed it!! Each dish was delicious!! And you get to choose from more than 30 dim sum dishes, including lots of vegetarian options so there’s a choice for everyone! The service was very good, especially considering that there were 10 of us ordering a feast with many courses and yelling in Italian any time a dish would come ahah
