We came for dinner on the Sunday of the Mid-Autumn Festival so to say it was busy would be an understatement. Good thing we had a reservation. We were a party of 4 and ordered a 4 person combo. It was only a minute later when we saw another combo and wanted to switch. We flagged down a server and asked if we could switch but she said that the order had already been put in to the kitchen and it was too late. It seemed a little silly to us since the other combo cost more money and they would've been able to make more.
The food did come out very quick so they must work real fast in the kitchen. The way that the fish was presented was new to me. Usually it's on its side but this time it was upright. I was told that it cooks better this way. I have a soft spot for green beans and they were good. However, the little fishies weren't crispy and on the soggy side. The sauce with the veggies and mushrooms was fairly glutinous and just not something that I like.
There is complimentary dessert. You're given a choice black sesame, almond, 'tofu flower', walnut, and a turtle one. Unfortunately they were out of walnut and and the 'tofu flower'. It's understandable that around 8:30 pm there may be a shortage of choices but it was pretty limited and we were disappointed.
We liked it so much that we came back the next day for lunch. We got the fish ball soup and curry with rice. I really like the crispy fish skin that the noodles came with. So good dipped in the soup for a quick second and then eaten. The curry was a bit spicier than I expected but all good with some rice. Another good meal under our belts. -

It was my grandma's 90th birthday so we definitely to go all out to get a nice dinner for the family.
We ordered the $150 Combo F for 4, which came with Seafood Soup, Spicy Deep Fried Lobster, Steamed Bass, Braised Goose Feet and Abalone, Clams and Real Dry Crab Meat with Snow Pea Leaves, and the complimentary dessert.
Overall, the portions were decent and the food tasted great. I especially liked the Braised Goose Feet and Abalone, as the sauce was really flavourful and the goose feet were really soft and fell off the bone very easily. Even though on the menu it said "eight head abalone", they actually meant it as the size of the abalone but not the quantity. The steamed bass was good it, they steamed it with just the right amount of time that the meat was cooked but still tender to eat. The Spicy Deep Fried Lobster dish had 1 lobster and it was covered in deep fried fish and minced pork. It was quite spicy though and you might leave with a sore throat due to the deep fried food and the spiciness.
Overall, even though the flavour was good and the meal was really filling, I still think the portion size of the seafood was smaller than I expected, especially for the lobster, given the $150 price tag. Not such a great value compared to other Chinese/Cantonese seafood restaurants around the area, hence the 3-star review.
Also, slight complaint...nice restaurant with decent quality seafood but all plastic dishes??? -

Came here for lunch after craving fish ball noodles. I can't say I was super satisfied - fish balls weren't bouncy enough for me and the fish soup was about weak - the taste of the noodles and soup lacked salt and didn't taste flavourful enough for me. However, this is coming from someone who loves fish. Stronger fish taste is definitely not for everyone! I think this is a pretty good bowl, it just wasn't for me, hence 3.5 stars (rounded up). I think they must've improved the service cause I thought it was alright (nothing stood out for me contrary to the reviews I read). Also price was good - the fish ball noodles came with fried fish skin and a drink for $7.5!

I was surprised to find this place to be extremely average, ND service to be so Chinese.
We were utterly disappointed with the Peking Duck. It was more like a dated bbq duck in its place. I'd definitely avoid as it's not going to make your meal eventful.
The fish lacked flavour; however, the fish wasn't fishy and was cooked just right. Too bad the sauce was weak and didn't elevate the dish.
The rest of the dishes were okay, but the service was atrocious. We had to ask for drinks 5 times and finally gave up. True Chinese restaurant service to a "T." -

What to try?
Their lobster, abalone and eel are good choices. I had their abalone 6 head they call it and it's $25 per person for that dish. Everyone gets their own abalone of course! I would say their food is good for the most part. I also liked their A-green vegetable with XO sauce with calamari. Very tasty!! At the end they also have 5 different desserts for you to choose from. Not your typical red bean soup. You get to try turtles shell jelly, almond soup, black sesame or green bean soup. Not too shabby eh? On a Friday, you don't have to make reservations per se because it's not that busy. It's located in an area where it's off the main streets so unless you hear about this restaurant through ad or word of mouth, you would not have noticed this restaurant. It's like a hidden gem! The only disappointment is the staff wasn't too friendly to the customers. I overheard an argument the waitress had with the customers and it wasn't pleasant. Even if it is the customers' fault, it's not professional to let others hear the argument and unless you don't want customers coming back, it's not a good idea to tell your customers off too :/
Last tip?
They have free wifi and they have private dining rooms so if you want a private gathering or want a meeting room for your dinner meetings, this restaurant might be a great choice.
