Very disappointing.
Came to eat fresh seafood and saw that there was a Crab Special advertised. Was then told that they had "run out" of the crab for that special (on a Saturday night and a restaurant that only had 3 tables filled- which is either poor planning or a blatant lie). Bought another type of crab.
Then asked if we could have the peking duck special instead since the crab special had run out. Told that the crab that we had purchased was being sold to us at "a special price" so we weren't entitled to any other special deals. This "special price" was only mentioned to us conveniently at this stage and there was no record of it anywhere...

Late review: I went here for lunch about a week ago on a Sunday and while it isn't the best yum Cha I've had, it's decent. I was lucky to come in at about 10:30 on a Sunday morning before the crowds and the food was still fresh and hot which was great. There was a great variety of yum Cha dishes and I was pleased with my all time favourite dish: chicken feet. The marinade was done well. Couldn't fault many of the dishes except for the xiao long bao which is the first I've seen in a yum Cha place and it's dough was dry and the meat inside was not good. I know not to trust xiao long bao that isn't made fresh on the spot when ordered in future. Overall, I think this place is good for yum Cha in...
If this rating system let me this restaurant would be in the negatives. The food was mediocre and luke warm at best, but even if it had been 5 star it would not have excused the absolutely atrocious service we received. Apart from being ignored half the time the wait staff only ever came to clear away plates and not once did they come to actually give us any of the things we had asked for. My dad raised his hand to say "Excuse me" to a waiter and the guy actually pushed my dad's hand away and brushed past him. I get that we went there on a particular busy day but behaviour like that is just plain rude.

Service was quick and accomodating. Somehow not everything in the menu was available that day. The fried pork dumpling (ham sui gok) had nice sticky texture but it'd taste better if they gave more fillings in it. The egg custard bun (liu sa bao) had thick and chewy skin and the filling was more like sweet custard paste rather than the salty flowy one (I actually prefer the latter). The baked BBQ pork bun was nice with slightly crisp on the outside while chewy soft on the inside.

Hot, steaming hargow? No. Not even mildly warm. Cold. Just cold.
What's worse than cold hargow? That's right, cold chicken feet.
Our bill was $29.35 and the waitress decided to round up our bill on the EFTPOS machine thinking we wouldn't notice? Is this even allowed? Isn't $29.35 in no need of rounding up or did the education system fail me?
So done bruh. Gonna stick to Cabramatta for Yum Cha from now on. This is what I get for trying new things and trying to have nice things. Sadness.
My family's regular yum Cha restaurant as it's convenient for my granddad and he enjoys chatting to the staff there . The food is standard yum Cha food and reasonably priced with discounts on weekdays and even Saturday (?) The service is ok. Sometimes it's hit and miss but overall it's good.
Nice food, good place to go.. I really like their steamed eels, chicken feet and egg tarts. Right next to a big free car park but try to bet there before 11:30am or will be hard to find a spot for Yum Cha. Price is good, 20% discount mon - thurs for Yum Cha.

Way too overpriced for amount of food on plate. Smelt foul. Very crammed in with all tables and other pieces of furniture/cleaning trolley's in the open room.
