This was the worst dining experience I have ever had, including home cooked food! and I am not one to quickly judge… It was in no way pleasant, the place stank of smoke, the decor was very shabby, the food was so bad that we only ate what looked relatively safe. It was a voucher for a Chinese Banquet but the new owners need to sort themselves out pretty quickly or they will have no customers at all. Certainly they should not use deal vouchers as a ploy to get more customers as it will seriously backfire with this standard of food and service. My recommendation. Do not risk it!

Agree with the previous remark. If I could put no star I would do so. We had 6 people coming for team function and the experience was terrible. The unfriendly staff, the poor atmosphere and the dumpling only got one flavor and poorly presented. Will never come back to this place as it is my worst, not one of the worst dining experience.

Went to try this place out after buying a coupon. It’s a public bar, in decor, and attitude. Inside was dark, outside was basic but ok, I guess compared to inside. It seemed clean. We presented our coupon, and had to ask if it was ok, because they looked at it and talked amongst theselves and went to get another man. It wasnt really a very good welcome.
We had all you can eat dumplings. Half fried , half boiled, they were all one flavor, which gets a little boring after 10 dumplings. We were the only people there during this lunchtime.
The dumplings themselves were ok, $29 for all you can eat, we ate 2 plates between two of us, wasn’t very good value, cause they are cheap in all Chinese dumpling cafes. Usually about $10-12 per plate. So the coupon wasn’t a great deal.
Atmosphere zero, food taste ok. Value for money -not really for the coupon.

Won’t be returning as the experience wasn’t worth repeating. Sorry guys, that was just sustenance .
