This is quite frankly the absolute scum of restaurants. We had never heard of this place and unfortunately happened to be in the area on that fateful day. I have never eaten at a restaurant that made me feel this disgusting, from their food, to their service, to their staff, their decor and the ridiculous air conditioning. I frequent yum cha and they do not serve yum cha food nor food of any quality.

We ordered 2 dishes of basic dumplings, which ended up costing $18. We found this out after being told how to order by the man running the show, after which we ordered and decided to cancel as we promptly got up and left.

I am baffled at how anyone could have anything complimentary to say about this restaurant, it was the worst experience of my life, let alone dining experience. If this is what the folks of Crows Nest consider yum cha, I feel deeply sorry for them, as yes, other chinese restaurants have snappy impatient waiters, but at the end of the day, they bring what you asked for in a timely manner and are actually listening to you when you're ordering and will acknowledge you. They literally just pretend to be listening and walk away with no consideration of what you have just said, made painstakingly obvious when you ask them a question and they are silent.

If you have any inkling of appreciation of food, do yourself a favour and leg it in the other direction. I cannot believe how many people were there that day, which would mean they have no clue about good food and keep this place in business with their ignorance. Restaurants like these and the people that run them deserve to be out of business, and it would be my honour if this post had an influence on that.
