Reviews
That expectation didn’t last long.
At first, everything felt ordinary in a neutral way. We were seated, looked over the menu, placed our order. Then time started stretching in that familiar but uncomfortable manner — the kind where you’re unsure whether the kitchen is overwhelmed or whether you’ve simply slipped off the radar. There was no explanation, no check-in, just waiting.
When the food arrived, the disappointment was quiet but noticeable. Not because the dishes were terrible — they weren’t — but because they felt unfinished in spirit. Flavors were muted, lacking depth. Dishes that should justify their price through balance and care tasted more like routine output than thoughtful cooking. At this price level, “acceptable” simply isn’t enough.
As the meal went on, the gap became clearer. The menu and pricing position this as a place offering a sit-down experience above everyday takeout. But the food itself didn’t rise to that promise. What arrived on the table felt closer to convenience than intention, closer to habit than craftsmanship.
Even the surroundings subtly reinforced that feeling. Worn table surfaces, small signs of neglect — nothing dramatic, but enough to break the illusion that detail and care still matter here.
By the time the check arrived, the frustration wasn’t about any single mistake. It was about value. When a restaurant asks you to pay at this tier, it also asks you to trust that the experience will meet it. In this case, the price created expectations the food and service couldn’t consistently support.
I didn’t leave angry. I left with the quieter kind of disappointment — the kind that comes from wanting a place to be worth it, and slowly realizing it isn’t, at least not anymore.
There are too many restaurants today offering better balance between price, quality, and attention for this experience to feel reasonable. I won’t say I’d never return, but I would hesitate. And that hesitation says more than any complaint ever could.
Stay far away from the atrocity they call dim sum
