First time, and we were impressed. Settled in for a yum cha lunch and weren't disappointed. The staff were hospitable, and clearly enjoy working there. The carts (yay, they are back!), were laden with fresh, steaming dim sim, we weren't hurried and enjoyed easing our way through the temptations. If there's something you want that's not being offered on the carts, just order it from one of the abundant waiting staff.
We'll be back
Casa Chino exceeded our expectations! We celebrated my birthday with a romantic dinner and were blown away🎂. The service was top-notch, and the set menu was incredible - every dish impressed us. What really stood out, though, was the team's kindness in accommodating our dietary requirements, which was truly appreciated. A perfect spot for a special night out!
Our favorite was the Fish BAO and the Cumcumber Salad, definitely visiting again soon 💞
This was a mid week luncheon which was first class. We chose the chefs choice on a per head basis and all eight or so plates were tasty and mouth watering. Service was also excellent.
My wife and I had dined here as a couple a few times. This time it was with her best friends for her birthday lunch. The food was of its normal very high standard, but with more of us at the table we could choose extra variety. While BBQ Pork Buns are a standard fare, at Secret Kitchen they are the best I have tasted anywhere in the world, with a little extra sweetness just making them perfect. We sampled a range of meat and vegetable dim sum, and nothing was left over. We will continue to make Secret Garden our Yum Cha of choice even though it is a 70km round trip for us. We enjoy Yum Cha at Secret Kitchen so much we are now planning to sample their dinner menu soon.
