Food is alright. Average, traditional Teochew-style dining. There is room for improvement to attract a younger crowd. Service staff are friendly. They allow you to make food requests and change your plates promptly. Ambience is classic. Very traditional, old-school Teochew restaurant vibes. Will be back to try more stuff 🌟

We made a reservation for three people at 1 PM, but when we arrived, they didn't have a smaller table available and gave us a big round table, which I thought was suited for 6-8 people. We ordered their famous Oyster Pancake, Roasted Chicken, Beancurd with Shimeji Mushrooms and Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, Prawn Balls, and Teochew Kway Teow. Except for the Beancurd dish, which was nothing to shout about, the others were pretty good. The Sweet and Sour Pork, to me, is one of the best I've had; it was crispy on the outside. The service staff were okay, but as we were non-Chinese, the waiter kept talking to us in Chinese until another staff member who spoke English helped us. Special mention to the staff member, Peggy, who was not only pleasant and helpful but gave us impeccable service. One thing to note is that the restaurant charges a $2 per person cover charge for tea, water, and a packet of wet wipes. I think they should do away with this, be flexible, and only charge a nominal fee for water if the customer doesn't want the wet wipes and tea, like many other restaurants.

Dim Sum brunch. Food is a hit and miss. Ngo Hiang is really good and a generous serving. The rest of the dim sum is all right. Carrot cake is fragrant. Seafood crispy noodles comes with a lot of fish and deshelled prawns! Instead of dim sum, I think maybe going for Teochew food is better. Service is excellent and attentive. The environment is clean, but the air con is super strong.

First time having dinner here to celebrate a birthday with my family. Overall experience was just so-so. The food portion was pathetically small for five of us. The price for its portion was considered pricey, not worth it.

We went for a family dinner. The staff was attentive: when she saw I was using a spoon to cut the meat, she (Peggy) brought a knife and fork. Also, some small thoughtful gestures gave us a good impression of the service. The food was delicious.

We went for lunch and were assigned a table right by the door, near a walkway. We requested a change since there were many empty tables around, but the server simply said, "Cannot change." This was our first time there, and it will definitely be our last. The food was average, and the service was poor.

Here's the lightly edited review: Overall, it was bad. I came to try after seeing their business pick up since opening. The lobby/waiting area smelled like salty urine. 1. The service captain couldn't be bothered to recommend dishes. Other service staff all seemed very busy. 2. The spring onion deer was very salty. 3. The asparagus was very oily and tasted raw. 4. The salad prawn (medium size, $30) came with only 6 pieces of prawn. I wonder how many pieces a small size ($20) would come with. 5. The half chicken came without thigh meat. Seriously? I wouldn't come back, even if it were free. Do not recommend.

Here's the edited review: We arrived on a Saturday noon. Plenty of tables were available, but we weren't sure if we should walk in directly or wait to be seated, as no one was at the entrance. So, we ended up scanning the safe entry and just walked in ourselves. However, someone did come after that and led us to a table. Both the main menu and dimsum menu were placed on the table, but no one explained the ordering process. We guessed we had to fill out the dimsum menu, but no pen or pencil was provided or found on the table. We ended up having to ask an 'auntie' for one so we could place the order. Basically, you just fill in the quantity in the brackets on the dimsum menu and then get someone to come over to place the order on their iPad. A male manager (we weren't sure if he was a manager, but he was in a black blazer) came over, took the paper, and placed the order, but we didn't hear him say anything at all. There were no interactions, but they were actually very friendly to the seniors dining there, though they seemed to care less about younger patrons. There's a $2/pax cover charge, which includes your choice of Chinese tea (teapot & refillable), a wet tissue, and water. They will serve a small dish of braised peanuts as an appetizer ($4); if you don't want it, you can just tell them. Items ordered: 1) Teochew Pig Trotter Jelly (4 pcs): My husband liked it; it was my first time trying it. The flavor was good, but I'm just not used to eating 'jelly meat' (it's a cold dish). 2) Siew Mai (3 pcs): Normal, nothing to rave about. It contained a small, full-sized prawn. 3) Lotus Leaf Glutinous Rice: Normal, not as fragrant as I liked, but my husband 'kinda' liked it. 4) XO Sauce Pan-Fried Carrot Cake: Nicely pan-fried, crispy on the outside, soft and melty inside, but the flavor was not robust. Song Garden has a really nice XO Sauce carrot cake, though, and the one here cannot hold a candle to it. 5) Charsiew Bao: I really liked it because the filling inside was more of the leaner meat, and the bun was very soft. The bao's size was on the smaller side. Servers would help refill our tea whenever they walked by, but I think they could have explained the ordering procedure when they seated us, especially those wearing the black blazers, instead of remaining silent. I would go back to try their other offerings, though, because the food was not bad, to be honest.

Good Teochew cuisine, and their food is tasty and 够味. It's a great place for company or family reunions. Staff are friendly. However, the aftertaste leaves you feeling thirsty, so I guess that's why it's yummy.
