They serve a misleading menu. The steam meat buns ...
They serve a misleading menu. The steam meat buns are meant to be 'buns' -they came as dumplings. Did ask kindly that they describe the difference between a dumpling and a bun. They were wrong. They do not understand there own provincial food - or even the difference in pastries and dishes on their menu. They also lie about this to you and serve you the wrong sauces to complement the misleading dish. Yes there is a difference between mainland China and Hong Kong in foods - but you don't use this as an excuse to serve/sell wrong items.
They give you pork sweet and sour when you ordered prawn sweet and sour.
The lemon chicken - clearly lemon curd thinned with water pour over thin fried chicken.
Service is silly but friendly. Manager is terrible at preventing or curing and problems but friendly. And I think they struggle here with staff front and back of house cause you can see it during your visit.
Would not recommend it and I understand I had a bad evening there. But it was silly of them to mislead they're customers and lie about it. Just tell the truth. People will come cause the beef with black bean and sweet and sour dishes were great - just not big enough.
Peking duck pancakes - meat was too dry.
