Food okay. Prices a rip-off. Charged $2-00 each for a pot of oolong tea (including my 3 year old daughter. If I ordered and drank the pot myself it would've been cheaper. Once ripped off, twice shy. Will never go there again.

Here is an upmarket chinese restaurant in the valley. Well lit, clean and devoid of melamine. Situated upstairs, it is a roomy location capable of hosting large tables of guests. Impressively kitsch is the shelf on one side hosting dozens of wine bottles, mainly St Henri. Food starts at $17 for mains, which is slightly higher than the butcher paper set along the rest of the street.

However, I was not spared from the goopy factor, and refrained from finishing my taiwanese drunken chicken after it turned warm and gelatinous. There would be a point spending close to $20 per person if the food was above average. Simply providing a better environment does not warrant the extra $$ in my books. Service was smart with minimum wait time and eyeballing.

This restaurant is abysmal. There are too many tables in there and the service is awful. Food is MSG laden and overpriced!

Awful service, in fact no service at all. I have been going here for years and the service has never been a strong point, but it is just getting worse. We were seated, gave our drink orders and that was it, we were just ignored despite giving out order another 4 times, while chinese families and tour groups were served the moment they walked in. When we complained at the counter, the waiter further ignored us.
