    The food was outstanding. The service was impeccable. Pricey, but absolutely worth it. We ordered the 5 course set meal. A most delightful experience.

    The dim sum is not as expected. Not sure how the restaurant obtained the "Michelin Guide". Was informed the dim sum is exceptional but to our disappointment, we still went ahead. Totally not worth the price. Even small coffee shops probably taste better....

    I want to express my appreciation for the friendly staff at the hotel restaurant. My family remarked that the food was excellent. Additionally, the waitress with short hair, who speaks Cantonese, was particularly helpful. She kindly reminded us about the portion sizes to help us avoid overindulging. Good service, friendly staffs, excellent food.
