3.3 Below Average

Food  6      Ambience  2      Value  2     


My boyfriend and I went on a Friday night at about 9:45pm. We were told that the kitchen closed at 10pm and that we had to order pretty much straight away, which we did. We wanted to try a variety of dishes and so ordered about 6 dishes including the xiao long bao and a spicy chicken dish.

The dishes came out in normal time except for the spicy chicken which came out around 10pm. The waiter who brought it out brought along some take away containers with him and told us we pretty much had 10 minutes to get out "or we would be eating in the dark". He then stood there and watched us eat for the next fifteen minutes.

The food is Ok here but extremely overpriced. The chicken dish was tasty but a bit confusing, 80% of the dish was onion, capsicum and dried chilli, 10% was some stupid rice cake thing and the rest was the chicken. I will never return here the service is just way too atrocious and is along the lines of something I would expect from a really cheap Asian place, not a place that charges $20 for like 100g of chicken. Absolutely ridiculous.
