    Enjoyed a tasty meal with the "Feed Me Now" set menu for two. Highlights: The sashimi was excellent, and the scallops were large and delicious. The barramundi was also very tasty. Drinks: The cocktails are a good choice if you enjoy sweet drinks. Otherwise they do have plenty of other options available. Atmosphere: Be prepared for some noise. Staff were attentive and friendly.

    We had high hopes for our visit – the venue is beautifully styled and the staff were warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, the dining experience didn’t quite live up to expectations. We opted for the “feed me” menu, but the food came out far too quickly – it felt rushed, with barely any time to savour each dish before the next one arrived. It left us feeling like we were being pushed out the door rather than invited to savour the experience. The biggest letdown, though, was the spice level. Every dish was overwhelmingly spicy – even the cucumber salad packed a punch! It felt excessive and really overpowered the flavours. A shame, as the atmosphere and service were otherwise great. If the kitchen slowed things down a little and dialled back the heat, it could be a very different experience.

    Thanks for sharing your experience — we’re glad you loved the vibe and service but sorry the pacing and spice didn’t hit the right note this time. We’re all about bold flavours but totally hear you on balance and letting you savour each bite. We’ll pass this on to the kitchen and hope you give us another shot to get it just right! 🙏🔥

    Had the best bottomless brunch yesterday for our anniversary weekend. Food was incredible, vibes were high, amazing cocktails and excellent service. Our host Aldra (hopefully spelling it right) was so amazing from start to finish and even gave us an anniversary dessert. Will definitely be back and hope he is working when we next visit. Would recommend the bottomless!!

    Happy anniversary again! 🎉 So glad we made your day extra special with killer cocktails and vibes. Can’t wait to welcome you back for more bottomless magic! 🥂✨

    A very cute cozy ambience atmosphere, little on the poshy side too which made the experiance nicer. I went for bottomless brunch, our host was ontop of our drinks and serving us promptly. The food selection was limited, however the options were ample. I would be keen to trying out the normal menu for a lunch / dinner as well. I would recommend trying this place out for bottomless if you are looking for another great day.

    Thanks for the love! We’re all about cozy vibes with a cheeky splash of posh 😉 So glad you enjoyed bottomless — we’d love to have you back for the full Cha Ching experience soon! 🥂💛

    The yum cha experience is such good value for money. Big variety in dishes and everything was so delicious. I couldn't pick a favourite dish as they were all yummy. The waitresses were very polite and friendly and the restaurant was very busy and on the loud side. Very happy customers and highly recommend the yum cha experience!
    Cha ChingResponded 1 day ago
    Thanks a million! We’re so glad you enjoyed the yum cha feast and friendly vibes — loud, lively, and full of flavour is how we do it! Can’t wait to have you back for round two! 🥟🔥
