If I am being honest with myself, this rating is higher because I loved their red bean dessert soup that was reminiscent of my grandma's cooking. But let's start from the beginning of the review. Also TLDR - this is a review of my wedding reception, not dim sum so take my rating with a grain of salt.
2 years ago, my mother in law and I were looking into places to have my reception dinner. I did not want a big area and knew for my parents and for her, I should choose a chinese restaurant since we would be able to do a quick tea ceremony and people would have plenty to eat. The food was pretty good and from what my mother in law had looked at, reasonably priced too. Did I think things would be perfect here? Absolutely not but I thought it would be at least reasonably decent. I think that Jenny was too naive.
When my wedding party arrived, we noticed that the workers were just eating lunch and my floral set up was not remotely done. (They had 2 wedding receptions that night including mine - mine being the smaller one) The floral people sat there as nothing was being cleaned for them to set up. That was the first red flag and second, when we were setting up, there were just many issues in all the areas we had paid for. Especially the room they gave me as a changing room - it was more like a closet that was quickly cleaned so it wasn't as dirty to walk into. But fine, I would still make this a fun night of eating and celebrations.
However, things were not going to go uphill from there. Their sound system was subpar at best since my guests not able to hear the music I was playing (my guests essentially chose my wedding playlist), they also could not hear what we were saying because they had placed higher priority to the party next to ours. We were basically overshadowed by the other side so when my husband and I tried to MC our way around, it was like a shouting match. I was NOT impressed. That aside, it was just brutally warm. Our reception was at the end of June and for whatever reason, their AC just wasn't holding up. But fine, at least the food was good.
To our cake cutting! We were able to cut our cake for photos and this cake was specially made from my friend. After our initial cut, the workers there diligently removed the macarons and decors from the cake and cut them into slices to serve the guests. However, when I found out they took out the macarons and other edible decors deeming it unedible made me incredibly sad. And what sucked was not everyone got to try my friend's delicious cake. :(
At the end of the night, as we were packing, they also somehow LOST our tea ceremony tray. It led to a very unhappy mother in law. And for me, I also had no words.
Overall, I think their food was decent but their service was subpar. If they could not handle 2 weddings at once, they really should not have made it seem like they can. Perhaps it was partially my fault as well for not going through more places but I was definitely underwhelmed and if I ever had a do-over, this would not be the place.
