    Had a Friday Yum Cha night with family and it was delicious. A good variety of dishes on the menu and they all came out piping hot. We also tried the Yum cha desserts even though we probably had enough food but they were all delicious. Service was attentive and we all thought it was great value for money. We’ll be back again soon!
