    No doubt the food is nice with its home made cook style by the old auntie, especially in the early years, but over the years, I find it the food portions are getting smaller and smaller, while pricing are going up. A middle size order may only be good for 2 pax consumption. Not worth the spending especially for family dine in.

    Food is delicious with fair price. Comfortable with air conditioner. Suitable to bring elderly, baby or young kids. Variety of food up to you to choose in menu. Recently, updated with the new menu with the 'upgrade' of prices as well.

    It used to be my family comfort food place. But after MCO, menu changed, it has small size label price only. Big size price has to ask one by one. Size of small is really small and big size portions is like small size but the price is 2 to 3 times from small price. Service is not good, when ask how big is big size, they can't describe it, u can't plan food well. Outside Economy rice restaurant is better.

    The food portion is comparatively small for table of 4, lucky we ordered 5 dishes. The freh milk chicken is not same as photo in menu. Due to limited number of table, recommend to do reservation in advance.

    Shoutout to their fried ice cream. The crust was fried to perfection, not soggy and the ice cream inside is still cold & not melted. The other dishes are pretty decent.

  • 2/5 Andy Lo Tern C. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfriendly and impatient waitress... We intended to order sweet and sour pork for a two year old child and she insisted it wasn't spicy. We were skeptical and asked again to confirm, which she responded with annoyance. Turns out IT WAS SPICY, even for adults.

  • 1/5 Dan L. 2 years ago on Google
    Food portion getting smaller and smaller, and not worth anyone lately. RM15 for Japanese tofu dish, it only have 1 tube of Japanese tofu for 4 of us. Kai lan fried with salted fish RM20, is is just kai lan and little bits of salted fish cost so much! Other things also portion are getting so small at premium price.

👍 Affordable dim sum with a wide range of selection. It’s not premium dim sum but can fixed your craving. I like their fried food more than the steam one. Fried carrot cake is good. Bun and fish balls also recommended. Queue could be quite long during weekend.
