    A bit expensive. A bit confusion as per the last order timing. We ordered five dishes and only one is especially delicious, with the others not worthy of the price tag

    We intended to try the Free flow dim sum but we’re not aware that it would start much later at 2.30pm until we arrived at 12.15pm. Suggest this would be made more prominent during the booking process. Overall - most of the dim sum was good quality Service was attentive.

    It would be nice if they can hire more wait staffs at least during the peak hours. It was extremely busy during lunch hour but there were only few wait staffs. We even felt bad for calling them sometimes as they seem super busy.

    Food was refined and exquisite looking but not style over substance. Everything was delicious. Quite an extensive menu and the best part being that you can order per piece so that food won't be wasted. Service was attentive, food came very quickly. Lovely ambience, great spacing between tables. Incredible value for money and will return!

    Had the unlimited dim sum, amazing value and amazing food, Dim sum library always has excellent food. It’s in a weird location in elements, feels a bit cold compared to the cosy ambience in pacific place. Service was a bit slow to begin, very good after that.

    Never care to drop a comment to a diner but this one is TRULY NOT recommended. The food is so-so and overpriced for sure. The service can be so much better or I would rather say there is no service at all. The cutleries even didn’t clean properly too :(

    It has been my 5-6 times visiting dim sum library (elements), the service from entrance to waiter is still generally poor for a restaurant with this kind of food quality and price level. To be frank, most staff are not very friendly and welcoming. Would have not come back if the food is not this good and given that the fact there are not many choices of restaurants at elements mall.
