The food was not that great, followed by service that was rude and who cares about value and ambience after that?

Great selection of Italian beer, not bad pizza, the sound bounces everywhere in the joint and the service is as friendly as a heart attack. I suppose the more stand offish you are and less friendly the more pretentious, credit card carrying, innercity apartment dwellers, scooter riding turkeys you will get.

Went there for a function, they served beef wellington that was tougher than wellington boots, a very substandard cheese and fruit platter. Can't see what people can see.

Best Xiao long bao in Melbourne, why? Xiao long bao are typically Shanghainese and the good folk at this joint are Shanghainese. Good value for money, disappointing service but then again Chinese places are more known for their value and food rather than service.

This ain't no restaurant. There is ten items on the menu and heaven help you if they run out of goods. Ordinary at best.

Absolutely terrible food, some of the worst chinese I have had in a while. Typical shocking chinese service and I can't understand what people see in it. We had rice noodles with seafood that was akin to a plate of slop. The deep fried pork ribs with chilli came to our table cold, now if its deep fried you expect it be hot, right ? thus, give me a break. Avoid this place like the plague. Go to somewhere else around the corner where the food is far better and you pay one third the price.

What is the big deal? Much better chinese places in Melbourne for Yum cha, however, the duck is good. What is it with chinese waiters and lack of personality? You want disappointing service and mediocre food this is the place.
