We had dinner in the rear of the restaurant. The area we were in was very hot, I'm not sure if the airconditioner was on. The food was good nothing to rave on about. More

The dumplings we ordered took a while to arrive, but I guess they were freshly made. They also come out as they are ready, so dont wait for each other as there may be a long wait. Tea we great and we took a box home after. Service is slow. More
