I cannot praise this restaurant enough. Hands down best yum cha around. Wide range of choices delivered by solicitous staff on shining trolleys. Gives a grand experience. My table companions were running late and the staff were supportive when they finally arrived helping to settle the children and ensure the stressed parents were able to settle in . The manager also checked on our parking arrangements and went the extra mile to go find our car and put money in the meter for us. What can I say gold standard service and amazing food. U will definitely be back and recommend to all I know. Thanks for all that you do
