Customer Review Summary
Dim sum draws repeat praise as a highlight, with several diners planning return visits just for it, while other favorites include the Sweet & Sour Chicken Hong Kong style, praised for a sauce that's not "bright red and gloopy," and dishes like salted egg fried pork, roasted duck, and prawn egg noodles noted for generous, fresh portions at fair prices. Jasmine and pu erh tea also get mentioned warmly. Service draws mixed reactions: some call it quick and good, while others describe staff as "not very friendly or cheerful." A couple of diners flag inconsistencies, one calling a duck dish oversalted with soy sauce, another finding their meal bland in color and taste compared to the colorful dishes at nearby tables. One reviewer also noted a downgrade in table presentation, from a proper tablecloth to a plain paper cover.

“Fellt really familiar, they all speak Cantonese, the tv shows Hong Kong channels! Only had dim sums and they tasted as authentic as they could!”
- SCOTT SHEARER
“Good service, food was nice. Had some chicken feet for the first time, I think to the shock and amusement of staff. They were worth the leap of faith.”
- Heather Ruth
“My absolute favourite Chinese restaurant in Aberdeen. For both takeaways and eating in and a Great DimSum menu. I sometimes have their Sweet & sour chicken (Hong Kong style) and unlike other places, their sauce is not bright red and gloopy, it's not too sweet and lightly coats the fried pieces of chicken. Generous amount of onion, pineapple and peppers too. The staff are lovely and very helpful too.”
- Neil Burnett
“We must have made a bad choice from the menu. All the food we saw passing and at other tables looked colourful and attractive. Our food was all bland in colour and taste, even though each dish was supposedly different. The best but was the chips!”
- Onyinyechi Asiegbu
“Food is great but the service could be better. Staff are not very friendly or cheerful. As you can tell I’ve been there a lot so the food is great.”
