    Today was Christmas lunch. There was a long queue on the footpath on arrival but waiting patrons were professionally catered to by attendants assigning table numbers to pre-bookings. Once in the restaurant, our group of six were escorted to our table upstairs by the restaurant's captain. After being served green tea and chrysanthemum tea, we were immediately offered selections of yum cha items. The food arrived piping hot, fresh and absolutely delicious. There was no sense that any of the food was heavily infused with MSG or salt. Despite the busy atmosphere, the service was attentive, polite and professional. When we asked for fork and spoon for a few in our company, they arrived immediately. Our group has been doing yum cha for Christmas lunch every year in the same premises in Southbank for eight years. This year we decided to try this restaurant. Today, all of us walked out feeling like it was the best yum cha service we had experienced. Everyone in the group gave full rating out of 10 for the experience. This restaurant appeared to be well prepared for the Christmas lunch crowd. The staff were well trained to assign tables to waiting guests, usher them to their seats, serve food quickly, and clean up for the next session's patrons. It was well worth the trip to the city for this exprience today. We will definitely be back! Top star rating.
