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.

Tasty soba. Too expensive. The tempura was sliced too thin so no flavour of the vegetables.
