A friend reserved this place for lunch. It was quite empty when I arrived around 12:30, but it filled up gradually and was full later.The restaurant is small and tables are set quite close to each other. You can hear the conversations of people sitting two tables away. Luckily our table was against the wall, so we were able to carry on a quiet conversation.The waiters here actually look around to see if people are waving for them, unlike in some restaurants where waiters avoid eye contact, p
The restaurant is small and tables are set quite close to each other. You can hear the conversations of people sitting two tables away. Luckily our table was against the wall, so we were able to carry on a quiet conversation.
The waiters here actually look around to see if people are waving for them, unlike in some restaurants where waiters avoid eye contact, presumably so that they can have less work! But the one serving us tried to be just a bit too smart.
When we asked if there was free dessert, he said it would be served after we finished our savoury dim sums. I thought it rather strange. If he had been very smart, he would have asked if we wanted dessert right away. Anyway, when I said we wanted it served, he took the cue and said he would bring the bill too. He may have realised that it was almost 2:00 and my friend had to get back to work. But he still made us feel uncomfortable by being too direct and \'smart\'.
The food was okay. The dish of plain choi sum was much larger than most restaurants served, and was value for money. The beef balls didn\'t look very appetizing, but the taste was ok.
Since neither of us ate a lot, we just ordered 4 dim sums plus the choi sum. The meal came to $175 for the two of us.
