What to order

Safe first

King Prawn Cheung Fun

Described as a 'paragon of the genre,' these are made from scratch on-site rather than brought in from a wholesaler.

Hungry

Sizzling Seabass in Black Bean Sauce

This dish is described as being 'a sizzle above the rest,' offering an elevated and finely tuned version of a Chinese restaurant staple, served 'furiously hot.'

Wildcard

Chicken Salad with Cucumber and Jellyfish

An intriguing choice for the adventurous eater; the jellyfish has a texture similar to squid and provides an earthy flavor profile that is lighter than traditional fried starters.

Taro Dumplings

Recommended in the Vittles Chinatown guide as a standout order from the menu.

What to skip

Roast Meat BBQ PlatterReviewers find the platter inconsistent; while the duck and crackling pork are good, the honey roasted pork is often noted as being 'a little too sweet.'

Good to know

Dim sum is heavily focused around lunchtime. The restaurant is notably more spacious and brightly lit than its Chinatown neighbors, and large tables make it very comfortable for groups.
