It is…read morejust across the street from the back door of the Sheraton Grand at Hyde Park...for very convenient for travelers. They do Dim Sum 9:00a - 3p most days. Came Sunday at 9:30, already a quarter full. I had har- gow, chicken feet, trip, lotus leaf sticky rice (lo mai gai). The chicken feet were perfect and the har-gow full and plumb with shrimp. I like the way they do the lo mai gai. Smaller portions, devided between 3 wrappers instead of the usual 2. So you get more filling to rice ratio. Plus they wrap the race in parchment paper before wrapping in the lotus leaf, so it's much easier to peel apart. The trip was a little disappointing however. The flavor was very good but good, but should have been cooked a bit longer, as some of the pieces were still quite chewy. I patiently waited for the egg custard to come out, as they were still baking them. Worth the wait, they were perfect! Light flaky crust, and perfectly light and tender egg custard. Plus, they were the "normal" palm size tart...not those mini ones, that many places switched to, to save money. Honestly, these were the best I have had anywhere! As I was leaving at 10:45, the place was buzzing and almost full. They were also bringing out many more items, such as stuffed bell pepper (with shrimp) and stuffed egg plant (with pork). They also had special carts that would make stir fry noodles or steamed vegy at your table. Makes it feel like Hong Kong, which was the last place I saw these, in the early '90s.

Our waitress was a super disappointed we came in right at opening: 9am and was muttering how inconvenient it was we decided to eat so early to her coworker in Cantonese not knowing we could understand her. We are used to big crowds and long lines by opening at our dim sum places so we came in early to beat the crowd. Kitchen took almost 45 mins to prepare our beef noodles and it was a total disappointment. Kitchen is super slow and did not have anything other than a few items by opening. We wanted egg custard to finish our meal and was informed it would take another hour before they would be ready. I guess things are cooked fresh on the day which is good but shouldn't it all be ready by the time you open? The little old ladies pushing the cart were very nice and polite. Ambiance is your typical big city Chinese place.

Very nice Chinese/ Malaysian restaurant in the Circular Quay area of Sydney…read more They use Halal standards for food handling and prep. We dined in the upstairs portion of the restaurant ( which is tucked in a multi use building ). Service was friendly and attentive. Food was absolutely delicious. Fresh seafood. Fresh veggies. Portions were decent sized. They do have some pricing quirks to be aware of: There is a minimum spend per person and I believe it varies with party size. They charge a 10% surcharge on Sundays. Not sure if this standard in other restaurants but I doubt it. I'm mentioning it so diners on Sunday are aware. I liked the food enough that I just chalked it up to a vacation u expected expense. I'd eat there again if I had the chance. Notorious MD approved!

I have a low tolerance for heat and I can say that kung pao chicken was not spicy but the spicy dumplings were a little too spicy for me. Definitely recommend the truffle fried rice, pork dumpling, and kung pao chicken.

During this trip, I happened to want soup dumplings so thought this would be a good time to try. My husband and I were there as soon as it opened so had no issues getting seated right away. Ordering was very easy. I just scan a QR code and can place my order online. For food, we made to sure to get soup dumplings (xiao long bao). We also got shrimp and pork dumplings and one with Sichuan Mala flavor. For the sides we got some garlic stir fried veggies. I thought all the dumplings were okay in taste, flavor, and texture. I really was not a fan of the Sichuan Mala one. It was gamey in taste. It actually made me think I was eating lamb instead of pork. Veggies were standard. This is a place I can say I've tried but don't plan to try another one.

Amazing food and service! Great atmosphere with bird cages hanging outside…read more The tempura whiting was super light and crunchy. The fish was light and delicate with a side of wasabi mayo to dip! A must order if it is on the menu. The Wagyu massaman beef was tasty and tender. The only dish we thought wasn't up to scratch was the Masterstock pork belly, it was over done and very tough. But the Morten Bay bugs and the Sichuan chilli chicken wings was a winner! The dessert menu had some Asian choices, but I loved the hokey pokey parfait with charred Nashi pear, honeycomb pieces and finger limes. Delicious and yummy! The yuzu and lime creme brûlée with fennel soil and passionfruit was refreshing and light. To top off the meal, I finished with a 2017 Marian botrytis semillon. A fantastic meal to celebrate Chinese NewYear with family. An excellent choice!

That alone was irritating, but what made it worse was the complete lack of communication between the host and waitstaff. I was later told one of the waitresses assumed I was waiting for a to-go order instead of simply asking me, which is incredibly frustrating and avoidable. Even after the confusion, I was still seated right next to the door instead of being properly placed inside the restaurant, which only added to the feeling of being brushed off and poorly handled. What made the situation stand out even more was how little accountability there seemed to be. The host and one waitress both apologized, and I was given a discount on my egg rolls, but no manager or anyone in a higher position came over to address the issue. I was even told the owner was present, and it was obvious he was aware of what happened, yet he never came over to acknowledge it or say anything. That part was honestly the most disappointing. To be fair, the food itself was excellent -- flavorful, hot, and served quickly -- but the poor service, lack of communication, and overall frustration of the experience overshadowed what could have otherwise been a great meal.
