Absolute hidden gem! Fabulous authentic Cantonese food, excellent service and nice space. Prawn and chive dumpling just delicious with a huge whole prawn. Can’t wait to return.

The food was quite good, but one of the staff members treated us rather rudely and without friendliness, while we noticed the same person being much more welcoming towards other local guests at nearby tables.
