    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a 10-course degustation at an extraordinary restaurant that redefines fine dining. From the moment I entered, the ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable evening. The service was impeccable, with staff providing just the right amount of attention—attentive yet unobtrusive. Each dish was a work of art, both visually and in flavor. The flavors were well thought out, with each course providing a delightful progression, building in complexity without overwhelming the palate. The attention to detail and the culinary mastery displayed throughout the meal made this one of the most exceptional dining experiences I’ve ever had. This restaurant truly deserves its five-star reputation for offering a sensational, unforgettable gastronomic journey.

    We were very excited to take our mother for yum cha for her birthday and ended up disappointed. The food was underwhelming. It tasted like a lot of the dishes were frozen and microwaved just before serving. Several items on the menu were different from what was advertised online on their website, and the dishes that were the same looked different from the photos. The pace of service was so slow, we would eat a tiny morsel and then wait ten minutes for the next course, despite it being “bottomless”, we left still a bit hungry. The one dish we enjoyed the most, they ran out of when we requested more. It seemed strange that there was no dessert. When we went to pay, the server verbally asked if we wanted to tip, which was an awkward interaction. Overall, not worth the money.

    We dined for the special mushroom tasting menu. Food was interesting however some of the flavours were muddled with a couple of the dishes in the tasting menu being hit and miss. Nice staff and good cocktails. If you are vegan and want a tasting menu I’d give it a try! Good value even if the dessert was not wonderful.
