The little things that matter
Beyond expectations
Thoughtful Plate Design
Plates arrive with dedicated sections for multiple dipping sauces, giving diners a built-in tasting experience rather than a single condiment on the side.
Signature Sauces Paired to Dishes
Specific sauces are matched to particular dishes — such as the slightly sweet soy sauce served alongside the Sichuan seafood dumplings — showing attention to how each flavour combination lands at the table.
Warm, Personalised Service
Servers go beyond efficiency to make guests feel genuinely welcomed. Staff are noted for being friendly and warm in a way that leaves diners feeling cared for long after the meal.
Whimsical Presentation Details
Dishes are shaped and styled with visual charm — the durian duck puffs, for instance, are crafted into an adorable swan shape, turning a single menu item into a small moment of delight.
Black Vinegar Pearls as a Finishing Touch
The colourful XLB are accompanied by black vinegar pearls that melt directly into the dumpling, adding a considered flavour detail that elevates a classic dish rather than simply serving it as-is.
Easy Reservations Process
Guests can secure a table the day before and be seated promptly on arrival, reducing the friction that often comes with popular dim sum dining.
A Drinks Programme That Matches the Food Ambition
Alongside tea and soft options, the restaurant offers cocktails, wine, and beer — with staff ready to suggest pairings — so the beverage experience feels as considered as the food menu.
A Space Designed for Lingering
High ceilings, a cosy atmosphere, and sport TV create a setting where guests feel comfortable settling in for a long, relaxed meal rather than being rushed through their visit.
