   Nice environment, good food, but choice of free flow dim sum too limited with extras payable for more choices, free flow wine is excellent.

   Good food, good service and nice environment. Just one suggestion to remark a bit clearer about the portion on the order form....not sure the portion is one piece, one dish or for one person....But anyway will definitely come again!

    We would like to say a big thank you for the way we were served last Friday lunch time. The drinks and dim sum were fantastic! It was exciting to explore many new dim sum we didn’t know. We had a most enjoyable time and will return in the future!

    The ambience and environment was great. The food quality is not bad. Our main issue was with the Brunch Dim Sum free flow option, we asked the server how many do we get in 1 serving (1 order) and he said about 3 pieces so we ordered based off that. Ended up being per piece so when we ordered 2 expecting 6, literally 2 pieces of dim sum arrived for 4 people. We also ordered free flow drinks and it seems they don’t automatically refill your drinks but wait for you to flag them down to indicate you want another glass. At times they forgot our order and gave us something different entirely. All in all, do not recommend for price point. Madame Fu has better service for price and they’re 2min walk away.

    Have been here for dinner before. Yesterday was the first time for brunch and it didn't disappoint. A nice mix of high quality dim sum and mains to suit all palates. Very nice vegetarian options available too. Would return and highly recommend to others.

    Food was better than expected and impressive, as we thought it would be just IG-able food. The service wasn't up to expectation, as the staff brought us in and suddenly changed a table for us after we got seated, though with a good intention of giving us more privacy, and one of the staff kept asking us to order tea and free flow drinks.

    Lunch menu far better than dinner due to the lunchtime Dim Sum selection. The dinner menu is 95% dominated by very spicy, hot peppers and red chillis. Both our lamb and chicken were drowned in the same red chillis and very one dimensional. This is one dimensional red chillis, Szechuan hot pepper spices is the”standard” flavour in the majority of dishes. Staff are laid back and unable to advise on dishes. The ambience and decor are lovely making this a venue to visit once but unless you have a “fire proof” stomach beware! Also, it’s very expensive for the small portions which are good for 2 but nor enough for 4 sharing a dish. Good cocktails but at HK$148 + 10% rather costly for the small portion served. Diners appear to be spending the majority of their money to pay for the decor. Not at all good value and the Dim Sum Library in Pacific Place far, far better.
