Spacious and relatively clean main dining room in the front with high ceilings. The dining room in the back has low/regular ceilings. Atmosphere was lively, noise level was not terrible (but I might just be used to it).
Need to grab a number when you enter and wait to be called. Waited for 20 mins around 1:45 PM on Saturday on July 4th holiday weekend. Parking was limited and spots were on the smaller side.
Food was decent, nothing to write home about for the most part. Roasted duck was good, roasted pork belly with crispy skin took a total of around 35 mins to arrive. Dim sum items were alright. Salt & pepper tofu was the star for the meal - well seasoned, hot, crispy, lightly fried + the little crunchy veggies the tofu sat upon tasted great too, surprisingly. Would skip the "wonton in chili sauce".
Service was alright ... to the extent that I got any. There were staff who would only bus away/empty dishes, while there were only limited staff who can actually take order for specific items off the menu, and they were always busy elsewhere. Had to spend time trying to flag down someone to refill water + tea every time (made me extra careful to not choke and die in the meantime haha). And tbh, seemed like the staff were playing a game of "can I successfully pretend like I didn't see you after specifically making eye contact with you" lols.
Anyway, for the quality of the food, decor, and service, normally would get 3 stars. However, for the price, have to knock it down to a 2.
TL;DR - Will visit PPP @ Gold Coast or Tim Ho Wan @ Palms before returning here.
