We queued for almost 2 hours before we got a seat. In hindsight, due to the ticketing system, we could have collected a ticket, and returned 2 hours later as not being present only bumped you to the next available table rather than losing it completely.
The food was served very quickly as you had to preorder before you got to your table. The dim sum was fresh and everything felt freshly made. I really love the baked char siew bun, which had a lovely light crust but the honey roast pork filling felt just a little too sweet. The stewed spare ribs in rice was also quite tasty. However, the other dim sum felt only average for hong kong standards. We had the truffle milk pudding, which just felt completely wrong. The strong flavour of the black truffle used overwhelmed the delicate light milk pudding, so the creation of this pudding was completely lost on me.
The service was friendly, and good for the limited waiting staff. Due to the small size of the restaurant, seating was very cramped and I was literally clashing chopsticks with the person next to me. Most dim sum plates cost a very reasonable HKD$10-15.
Overall, it was a lovely meal but with the excellent quality of dim sum restaurants in hong kong, I struggle to see why this restaurant was awarded a michellin star when there are many more dim sum places serving excellent fare in relative obscurity.
