★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Has your usual yum char dishes with excellent sao mai and pork buns. The prices are really high though - one tiny portion of duck is $16, and most dishes have a very low meat to carb ratio to save costs. Customer service was also really poor, and many loud young children made it hard to enjoy lunch with the family.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Get reservations. Especially on weekends and especially if you're thinking of doing brunch.
We drove a good distance to the 'Shore from the city as our usual dim sum place had a queue out the door. We decided to try a spot that was said to be pretty decent.
Parking is horrendous and prepare to walk about 5 minutes or more from your parked car to get to the restaurant. If you're lucky, you'll get a spot just behind the restaurant in the shared car park. That said, with the number of people parked in town, you'll be incredibly lucky to get one of those rare spots.
Food was...mediocre, to say the least. The steamed pork ribs lacked flavour and...meat. Skinniest little buggers that I've ever seen. We had to ask for our order multiple times and the wandering waiters and waitresses seemed rushed off their feet more often than not. Our teapot came with a mere pinch or so of tea leaves which meant that we had to steep our tea for ages so it doesn't look like we've hydrated well when we go to relieve ourselves in the bathroom.
The fried squid was rather nice with a bit of crunch but again, compared to some places, this was again, mediocre. Steamed buns were good and the chee cheong fun (with mushroom and roast pork varieties) had puffy glutinous rice skins.
Would I come back? Not for the drive and not for the food. That said, if you live out on the Shore, that might be a closer option. I'll stick to my usual, thanks.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wonderful and polite service and generous portions for all food ordered compared to other similar priced Chinese restaurants. No allocated parking for customers but had free off-road parking near by. Offers yumcha at lunch and dishes at dinner. Family friendly restaurant and had bright and large atmosphere. Highly recommended.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Third time here. The more you come the more you like this restaurant. The menu covers a wide range of food from north to south, east and west part of China. Skeptical about the kitchen could handle these wide range of selections. But apparently, the cooks back there are pretty versatile. Regarding the taste, I would rate it 4 star if this restaurant is in Beijing or Shanghai. But in brown bay offering this good taste, it deserves 5 star. The ambiance is nice though hardwares are a bit rundown, no luxury, not spotless clean. Services are pretty good. Hope I set the right expectations for you.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good solid Chinese dinner. The food was good but I am a push over for good dumplings which we had to start and I wish I had more of. Quick easy service and a special mention to the man at the main desk for adding that bit more to our evening with his hospitality :)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ - Wrong information given over the phone for booking
- Attitude / customer service of employees very lacking
I called them up to book a table for 2 at 5.30pm tonight. The woman on the phone advised that since there's only two of you, I don't need to book and said see you. We drove there and was met by waitstaff that said we can't seat you because we didn't have a booking after a couple of minutes of looking like they were busy trying to "find a way to help us about it"
My partner and I left because there was no confirmation on whether they are able to seat us and went to Wairau for another Chinese restaurant, which had better communication.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Yes, no doubt you should visit for some very yummy Asian goodness! Visited with family and they ordered some favourites and I ate untill I couldn't breathe! AN ABSOLUTE must have is the che-cheung-fun (not sure if that's the correct spelling but it's the dish that has soft steamed rice noodles that looks like lasagna strips with filling and sauce poured over them - check my photos). Make sure you dip that into the chilli oil sauce as without it the taste is not complete but with it the whole taste is transforms to an unforgettable dish! Even the tea was very, very good. I highly recommend every dish that's added to the review...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Delicious! We particularly enjoyed the the steamed BBQ pork buns, pineapple buns and shrimp spring rolls. The staff can be a bit enthusiastic in giving you food, but that's fine. Recommended!
