The restaurant was empty except for 2 tables, we were sat right next to the only other patrons in a pretty cramped corner. Call me old fashioned, but I still like social distancing!
Whilst looking at the menu, we asked for water and tea for the table. Two filthy plastic cups were put down. The cups had stains all over them and mould/ dirt on the INSIDE and outside at the bottom.
When I told the waitress there was dirt inside the cup, and I'd like another, she said no, it's fine, it's only at the bottom, underneath. I knew it was caked with dirt inside the cup as I had just scratched some of it off with my nail.. I said no, they are filthy, and this is unacceptable for a restaurant.
As she went to get new cups, I noticed my tea cup on the table was also visibly dirty around the rim.
We told her we wouldnt be staying, and left.
It looks like we might have saved ourselves a bad night, after reading the bad reviews about off tastes and recycled oil. I'm wondering if this place has been inspected...

This is my favourite spots for Cantonese cuisine.. still remains very high standard even due to so many lockdown and hard to survive with business.. always love their crab dishes, sweet and sour pork, lobster etc.. too many to share.. also nice service and reasonable price

My favourite restaurant from Chinatown. The flavours and quality are exactly that I am looking forward. Very delicious! Thanks

Decent Cantonese style restaurant.
Shame that the interior seems slightly unkept with reeks of cigarettes smoke.

Great value of lobster. $58 for a lobster of 650g. Highly recommend deep fried lobster with garlic and black bean.
However visit this place on Easter Sunday and staff completely forget to put the order through the system. Waiting for 30 mins without any foods served. Ruin excitement of the night. Manager need to improve the operational flow or add extra staff to achieve better management but staff is friendly even though that is a big mistake and really make it up at the end

Stay clear of this place. Overpriced rubbish on a plate.
Pros:
- Quail was tender and juicy. Very good.
- Donut stick was fresh and crunchy
Cons:
- Lettuce pork dish was $6 really?! Raw onions and pork. The meat could fit into a tea cup.
- Chicken corn soup tasted like water.
- Century egg congee had half a Century egg, scraps of meat
- Black pepper beef... So tender... It was blue. The cut of meat had a chewy piece every bite. Struggle was real, felt like raw meat with rubber bands. Was also super dry.
I was here a little over a year ago, it seemed alright from memory. I won't be back though.

Stuff is around by moving our table and taking too long to take our orders. The food is good whoever. Great place for a late night supper.
