visiting over a long public holiday weekend is always the best.. it's crowded but it's tolerable. we had three soups (individual portions of hot and sour soup, hokkien fish maw soup, and sweet corn and crab meat soup) and they were all to die for.. yummers... also had the peking duck (so good - still one of my faves), beef - i didn't get to try it cos my fiance ate all, and the prawns with wasabi. yummo.. ended off with the crisp red bean pancake :P~ good food paired with great service :D

Food was great and really value for money. Service was excellent and staff were helpful and always ready to serve like filing up your cups with tea and replacing old plates with new ones. However there seem to be a strong bad smell when entering the restaurant. Ambience was average .

Service efficient, professionally courteous could be a bit more personable. Food quality is good, portion size decent. Salted egg yolk custard buns could have had more molten centres. Tea stopped being topped up voluntarily after 1.30pm, and one had to summon waiter. Nose levels high -but overall experience, pleasant and satisfying.

The food and service was good. They are pushy about reservations even when there are available tables and occasionally will put small groups at larger tables with other people even if there are available smaller tables. But other than that, the restaurant is fine if you know what you want and you make reservations in advance.

The last time that I've visited is about 2 years ago, and I felt that the food isn't as great as it used to be. Back then I had felt it was one of the best Chinese cuisine restaurant in Singapore , but now it is average. Still a great value for money restaurant, with nice service staff and a "quiet" enough Chinese cuisine restaurant. Kitchen is a little too slow for my liking, dishes in my opinion that should be quick to served e.g. soup, dim sum, roasted pork, took a long time to be served, nothing short of 30 minutes, and it came out a dish at a time. I sincerely hopes that the restaurant improves, it used to serve really good roasted meats.
