Went here last Saturday and it's one of the best suburban restaurants I've been to for some time. The food is as good as many hatted restaurant I've been to in the city. The chips are out of this world, though the decor of the restaurant could be updated a bit. Definitely will be back for some more.

The food and service was absolutely fantastic. Service staff very attentive especially when needed. Obviously not a place that I can afford to go to every week, but definitely a great place for wonderful evening. Dropped a point on ambience for the surrounding bar and people, otherwise the restaurant ambience itself is great.

We went here a couple of weeks ago to have lobster. It was reasonable chinese, but I can't see why this place has a hat. Good but not fantastic.

I went there on Sunday it was quite busy. Like most yum cha places, when it's busy, service is pretty poor. There is, however, a good range of different dishes and is quite tasty, probably the only reason I'd go back.

Went to the bar section for drinks and to try their wagyu beef burger, so ratings based on this rather than the restaurant section. At twenty something dollars, the wagyu burger has got to be one of the best value for quality burgers in Sydney. Drinks also not overly priced, so quite a good place to have a drink and some food. Will keep on my list to go on nights where I don't want to just go to a bar.

We went there last Friday night and really enjoyed ourselves. I started off with the snails (yum, haven't had good snails in Sydney for quite some time), then beef cheeks which had a good strong "beefy" taste (probably not for everyone, but a great wintery dish), and chocolate mousse to finish. It's a warm place with the only bad thing about the location is its off the busy pacific highway.

Went there for a birthday party for friends and was told that the food could take a while on the busy Saturday night, it was well worth it though. Food was fantastic and all of us enjoyed it including one of our most pickiest friends! Will be back.

We went to WAQU for the first time a couple of months ago as we love Japanese and were interested in it's fusion style degustation, it is reasonably priced, though we were not as full as I expected to be. Service was mixed. Not bad for first visit.

I had to go here for a group dinner a couple of weeks ago. I was reminded why I never choose buffets these days. Obviously there's the seafood section which is constantly filled, but really the hot food is a disappointment. The desserts look great, but not that tasty. We paid full price, so really not much value for money.

Would highly recommend the hotel/restaurant remove this as many people go with these discounts and full paying customers are subsidising this, therefore, quality of food/value is much less.
