Found this place under Cheap Eats! Its not really that cheap as suggested. Serving size is average. Avoid the fried foods, its very very oily! A good place to catch up with friends, you can actually hear each other talk!

Heard about the good breakfasts they served. Yet to try it out one day. I find the tables are too close together, its can get quite annoying when the guests keep knocking into my chair when they walk in & out for a ciggie break! Serving size is quite good. Staff are very warm & prompt. Not sure about the Open Kitchen?

Food, its great thai food, but always remember to control the spicyness of each dish ordered. Or else you will be sorry. Ambience, kinda cramp. Service is great when they want you to eat up and leave, coz they have lots of other customers waiting in line. Value is great for good thai food.

The food is not traditional vietnamese, its has been remodified to suit western tastebuds. Its way too noisy to get a proper disgestion. Service simply do not exist. I had to get up and go up to the bar at least 6 times to get refills for our tea and drinks. Value, its average. You are better off trying the other restaurants in the area.

Great Yum Cha. Good quality food. Have not been disappointed with the quality of food for the number of times I have been to this place. Restaurant Decor - compared to the typical yum cha places, this place is in tune with the modern designs.

As for the service it depends on who is waitering you on that day. Its can range from the best service to mini service. Also the crowd you get in this place aren't as noisy compared to some of the restaurant. Value - its a little pricey compared to most yum cha places, but for the food quality and a more calm relaxing atmosphere, its worthwhile.

Food servings was NOT large as some had claimed. I would say the servings are average for the value. The restaurant decor needs some work. Service was good and they are very attentive. Value, lets say its a place where you can dine out and not cost a HOLE in your pocket.

This is a place where the most common line used by the staff was " I dunno ". Avoid this " I dunno " place at all costs, I know I am!!! Unless you are craving for some real bad experience. We ask if they have Strongbow Beer and the waitress gave us an " I dunno " look. And she even ask what it was ? The order of food service was messed up, the main course came first and then the entree arrived when we were half thru our mains. We ordered 5 drinks and only 4 came. And we had to order the drinks at least twice ( everytime ) for refills. The staff was too busy chatting amongst themselves and some seemed to have visual impairment problems. The manager seemed to be the only one who has " lights on " and " is home ". As for the rest of the waiting staff, they should go back to Hospitality College and learn to get it right. The food servings size and food quality are different. I dunno mate, save your money and check

I had been to the Outback Steakhouse in San Francisco, and I can tell you they have a lot more to learn how to get it right. I was most impressed with the service, the food portion was good, the ambience was spacious enough one's comfort. I would like it to be a little less pricey so I could dine there more often, but I guess when you want quality you need to pay a little more for it. Oh also, the complimentary bread is YUMMY..

My family had our Chinese New Year's Banquet on the 17th Feb 2007. And I loved the interior decor, it was a influence of modern european and modern chinese. The food was good but not great, the service was good. I don't even dare ask about value, my uncle said it was one KILLER bill.
