Coming from London, it's pretty overpriced compared to Chinatown. The food is a good depending what you get but the portion size are quite small. Dim sum were ok, but I only ordered one, really just wanted cheung fun but they ran out and we weren't told :/To order your food, you need to complete an ordering sheet like those traditional dim sum papers, which is interesting but no staff informed us that we needed to go to the counter to order and you don't get the paper back once you make an order which is annoying if you want to order more.Also, it would be nice if they told us some items were unavailable.The HK milk tea tasted authentic, it was the better tasting item that we ordered.There are better places in Exeter to try

The food was served cold and was missing flavour. If you order any meat dish expect to find more fat and bones than actual meat. Understand it is meant to be authentic but no value for money in my opinion.

So good I forgot to take pictures. Honestly everything was cooked and favoured exquisitely. The staff were super friendly and the vibe of the place was relaxing and fun. Perfect for any occasion really. I'm definitely coming back, because I'm not sure you can get that kind of quality at many other places in Exeter.

Just finished another dinner here and got to say this is our new favourite Chinese restaurant. The food is very tasty. We couldn't fault the friendly service either! The one very minor criticism we have is that the roast duck portion was too boney. But on a previous visit the roast duck was spot on. It is a little pricey here but the quality is very good to justify the higher prices here. We recommend this restaurant when you are in the mood for dim sum or quality Chinese food

First time having Hongkong roast pork without horseradish sauce or anything that supposed to come tgt, taste salty and oilyThe noodle soup is sour and weirdThe dumplings with Chili oil(紅油炒手)taste like cheap dumping from grocery stores. It is horrible.廉價水餃沾紅油🤦🏻♂️

Had a takeaway and was disappointed not to have any char sui sauce with it, making it rather dry. Restaurant looked busy with dim sum being served into the early evening.

I have been to their restaurant and the dishes are delicious. But shame that they do not have a takeaway service. I can't visit frequently cause I live far away. Although it is shown on their official website and Google Maps that they have this service, it is obviously misleading. At least I called and asked, and got the answer like this.

Ordered the duck with rice. Duck came out cold to the touch. Sent it back and all they did was microwave it then making it Chewy and tough to eat especially around the bones. Also the dumplings were very soggy nothing was freshly cooked at all. I am definitely not going back. There's a reason why they make you pay for your meal here before they put your order in.

Some quite nice food but also some not so nice. Mushroom and vegetable curry was very strange, sour potatoes in it and no other vegetables. The dishes off the main menu are a bit too expensive. The dim sum menu is better, the congee is good. One of the main issues is that they don't have gas to cook in the kitchen so no fried food, only wet dishes, when you think of satisfying East Asian food for lunch you want some good fried noodles or rice or something, not only soups, better for winter maybe. Overall not bad, but there's better. P.S. THEY TRIED TO CHARGE FOR TAKEAWAY CONTAINERS (last time I went)

We stumbled upon this restaurant when browsing around Google Maps for places to eat and I'm so glad we did find it! I had been craving proper Chinese food for a while and this did not disappoint! It was huge inside and the service was very friendly and efficient. We ordered the dim sum platter which consisted of five different varieties of dim sum (such as crab, siu mai, veggie, plus others) and you got two each - all were very well filled and delicious!! We also ordered the char siu cheung fun, fried custard buns, two roast rice (I had duck and char siu), and the mala spicy pork noodles. It was all delicious and so filling!! I wish I lived closer as I'd happily go again and again! Highly reccommend this restaurant!
