On my visit there last week, the restaurant was fairly busy, mostly with executives having business lunches, but the restaurant is spacious with plenty of room for each table so you can have a relaxed and quiet meal. We decided to order a la carte rather than get the set lunch which I think was a better option for us as it allowed us to have more variety since choice for the set lunch is limited and it turned out to be better value too. The food came out very quickly and all at once, carefully laid out on the table by the waitress. All the dumplings were fresh and delicious, perfectly seasoned with delicate skins and plenty of filling. I especially liked the Mushroom and Corn Dumpling. They were a bit like deep fried prawn cakes coated in pork floss to give extra flavour and sweetness to the dish and they were served with a mango and sesame mayonnaise which had a very mild flavour, despite which there was not very much of it.
