    The decor of the restaurant is chic, classy and spacious. Service was impeccable and the background music is superb, unlike most Chinese restaurants. The dim sum and barbecue platter were delicious The food was authentic with high quality ingredients. As the standard of Chinese food is declining in China Town, this place is a hidden gem. Highly recommended, the premium price is well worth it.
