Very great Cantonese restaurant, surprisingly good. We ordered four dishes. Jingdu sour sweet pork rib is the best sour sweet fried chicken that I’ve ever tasted. Very crispy skin and very tender meat inside, perfect seasoning. A little sour and sweet. Perfect price and portion. And they also give one bite of free desert. And Chenpi red beans. Tooo sweet.🥰🥰🥰🥰100% recommend.

Lots of Cantonese people were here for yum cha, so my expectations were high. While the atmosphere was good, the dishes were mostly not.
The har gao was fishy, mixed with bamboo and seemed off. The xiu mai was all tough pork. The xiao long bao was all meat and no soup. Taro pan fried cakes were super dry, and chinese donut rice rolls were flattened with too much soy sauce.
The chicken feet were delicious though, the only standout dish. The pan fried chive cakes were alao good.
The trolley service was also a bit pushy with some of the orders (like the drink cart and desserts) while having to request core dim sum dishes like har gow was a bit odd.

2024: Still the top rated yum cha in town.
Highly satisfying.
2022: Arguably the best yum cha in Wellington. Been going here for over a decade, and it's been the most consistent on all levels.

Great food, great service, and great value for our friends' dinner party last night. Its currently our favourite Chinese restaurant in Wellington!! 😋 🍜🍷 🍜 🤗

4 stars, 5 stars for wellington standards.
Most, 3/4 maybe, dishes were good (bit surprised as haven't been for years), good flavorsome taste and fresh.
A few was average/poor, one they mixed some overnight ingredients with new ones which is s@$% (yes, I can tell the difference).
Another dish the durian dumpling they cheated, filling is mostly cream, only some durian. Used too be all durian filling. And I thought what good value, so big, not fooling me again.
The dishes ordered are not western favorites...
Pricey too, $84 for 2 person!
