"Excellent food, excellent service. One servant per table, with the owner’s detail explanation of each dish including the cooking method, ingredients, nutrition value, and eating procedure. The explanation helps to understand where the taste comes from and the astonishing combination with the sources. We even met the chef during the dinner too."

"Think im a bit biased because theyre cooking every single dish i like using my favourite ingredients. Apparently this store was opened by a husband and a wife! I would definitely order the abalone, the fish maw and the fish!"

"Visited for the first time last Thursday. This married couple joint operation ran smoothly. They had had most of the dishes well prepared in advance, which allowed the chef husband some free time to chat with customers. They priced their menu very reasonable. No wonder their bookings are full for the next eight months."

"Great food and cozy place for gatherings with friends. The way they cooked/presented the fish maw is very unique and I don’t think you’ll get to try this somewhere else in Hong Kong. The steamed egg topped with crab roe from 24 crabs was also one of the highlights. If you haven’t been to this place, definitely give it a try. I wouldn’t think this place is worth a two-year wait, but they sometimes release last minute bookings from other customers’ cancellation."
