Came here for dimsum with a group of 8 and a reservation. Suggest reserve table beforehand since the seating is very limited. Food: The good thing about this place is that you can order the dimsum pieces by the number. Ordered a number of classics and some new ones with twists. The ones that stood out: Har Gow - insanely huge and stuffed with shrimp; Soup dumplings - very tasty soup and meat, comparable to Din Tai Fung; Roast pork pastry - comes as a rectangular pastry, multi layered and
Food: The good thing about this place is that you can order the dimsum pieces by the number. Ordered a number of classics and some new ones with twists. The ones that stood out: Har Gow - insanely huge and stuffed with shrimp; Soup dumplings - very tasty soup and meat, comparable to Din Tai Fung; Roast pork pastry - comes as a rectangular pastry, multi layered and flaky while the filling was tasty juicy roast pork. Another that is worth mentioning: Egg yolk layered cake - this is their twist on the classic drippy egg yolk buns, but its in a multilayer triangle piece, different layers of yellow and soft white. It was just okay, I didn't like it that much because it had this weird texture that seemed grainy/sandy like the ingredients were mixed well, and then I realised there were pieces of coconut in it.
Service: Service here is pretty attentive, but the waiters' attitude can come off stuck up in a sense. There's also a woman who seems like the owner who walks around asking if you enjoy the food.
Decor: Decor is very nice here - very good use of nice colors like dark olive green; gold; white. There's high ceilings; comfy comfy chairs, some have booths with nice sofas; gold framed paintings. The atmosphere created is Very intimate and personal - none of that noisy local HK dimsum feel. The restaurant tries to preserve that very high end private/exclusive feel. Even the entrance is pretty private considering you don't even notice its a restaurant on the street level.
Sizing it up: I enjoyed the intimate atmosphere the most here. The food was up to par to the level you expect when you pay more. We ended up paying $350 a person for dimsum - which is actually very expensive, considering there wasn't much leftover food. I recommend it for special occasion dining.
