I went to Lunch Buffer for $49/pp it was very disappointing, all dim sim was frozen and reheated not fresh, and the sticky rice was uncooked. Overall it is not valuable for $49.

We all were happy and enjoying our lunch (Yum Cha) at China Bistro on Sunday, 9/02/25. The food was delicious, the service was great and the restaurant is clean. Only a small issue was the room temperature was a little bit hot or dry. But for sure we will be back again.

Booked for 7people lunch, food was a real let down as was the service. Was told once arrived we had a ‘90 min sitting’ which was not disclosed anywhere within the booking which was a let down.

Great dining experience. We had the pre fixe dinner for two and it was delicious. Great selection of dishes including fish, meat, and rice. Some really innovative dishes, including prawn with lychee and fried eggplant. Highly recommend this restaurant for a great experience.
