Everything was great, the food was amazing. The restaurant was a bit loud, but that was ok due to the the quality of the food. My only issue and maybe I am being cheap or just used to a second cup of coffee complimentary but they changed everyone at the table for a second cup of coffee. But nothing was said, it was just assumed that we should know that. Again maybe just used to it, the wait staff should alert the customer if that is the case. Other than that it was a wonderful meal for my birthday.

Great menu, and our server was quite helpful in advising on dishes to consider. The SJB Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings were incredible, as was the Hong Kong Wok-Fried Egg Noodles with Mushroom & Bok Choy. Service was attentive. Would definitely return.
