   I’ve been here many times and have always loved it. Unfortunately today was the worst experience I’ve had. Sat behind a large pillar, we had 2 trolleys go by us and then nothing. After 30 minutes of sitting there with no food, I eventually got up and asked someone to ensure we were seen to. Another trolley came around offering the same food from the previous trolley and when I asked for other options I was told that that service had finished - not surprising since our session was due to end in 20 minutes. Extremely disappointing, we left hungry and went to another restaurant to actually eat a meal.

   My wife and I had dined here as a couple a few times. This time it was with her best friends for her birthday lunch. The food was of its normal very high standard, but with more of us at the table we could choose extra variety. While BBQ Pork Buns are a standard fare, at Secret Kitchen they are the best I have tasted anywhere in the world, with a little extra sweetness just making them perfect. We sampled a range of meat and vegetable dim sum, and nothing was left over. We will continue to make Secret Garden our Yum Cha of choice even though it is a 70km round trip for us. We enjoy Yum Cha at Secret Kitchen so much we are now planning to sample their dinner menu soon.

   I went at dinner time and booked a table of five and it was a special birthday dinner. The service was shocking. The food was ordinary and I don’t think I will be going back there again. The first time I went there over three years ago. The service was excellent. The food was excellent. Unfortunately I will not be going there or recommending it to anyone for the money that I paid. we all still were hungry got a banquet $88 banquet.

   This restaurant misleads by using the name of a renowned Hong Kong establishment. You’ll likely regret visiting, like ME.
