All the reviews are accurate. Good food, foreign service staff, tight seatings and somewhat slow service. We ordered a prawn dish (so-so), sharks fin (so-so), pork ribs (average), signature kailan (excellent). The anticipated mango pudding is not bad. RM165 for two pax. I think it’s reasonable. Be ready to wait about an hour for food to be served.

Delicious food with good service, I especially recommend the salted egg mushroom, fried pork, and mixed vegetable with okra and eggplant. Great spot to eat if you’re coming to JB!

Great food at a reasonable price.. very crowded on the Saturday night we were there (which speaks for its popularity with the locals). Suggest going earlier if it’s an important family gathering.

We dined-in and booked the father's day menu package.
Luckily we booked online and the restaurant managed to reserve the indoor air-conditioned table. All tables are fully occupied and too cramped to each other and our sitting chairs are bumper to bumper to neighbor's chair.

Crab Meat & Scallop Soup
Flavorful and the density of the soup is just nice (not too thick and not too watery). The soup portion is really a lot where more than enough for 6pax.

Prawn balls with Nestum Oat
The prawns are served with shell peeled-off hence skip the hassle to peel with hands. Prawn meat is chewy, al-dente and crunchy with flavorful oats coating is simply delicious!

Creamy Milk with Abalone
The cream taste is somewhat like salted egg cream and each  abalone serve in individual table spoon comes quite handy in eating. Some of the abalones quite chewy due to overcooked.

Hong Kong Steamed Red Snapper Fish.
The fish size is not that big but pretty fresh and the meat is chunky but should have provide a candle light underneath to keep the fish warm.

Pork Ribs Marmite
Very flavorful and the meat is tender with tasty thick sauce coating.

Vegetable in Yam Basket
This yam ring is rather small in size hence the vege ingredients inside also a bit small in portion. Nevertheless, the yam texture is well fried, not too hard and maintain its crispiness.

Fried Ice Cream
Not a fan of this type of dessert (hot plus cold).
Crispy outside and still hard cold inside though.

Total 6 packs with set menu of RM428.00 plus the awful chrysanthemum tea (bland & tasteless) of RM12.00 per pot + plus wet towels + 4 rice bowls (each at RM2.80 which I think quite pricey for a plain rice) + a plate of peanut RM3.60.
All in RM 502.90 (with 4% + 6% tax).

Final verdict, the foods are considered above average and the quality are better compare to some well known restaurants.
Will definitely return for their ala carte menus.
