"Staffs were attentive and accommodating. The foods, I was afraid with Chinese food where they tend to be spicy and has strong taste but this place has served us such a delicious meals. My friend and I loved it. The only issue is the restaurant is running under staff where you guys have a perfect location and people flooded the restaurant while you serve takeaway as well. I found it’s too much to handle for the staff. Foods came a bit delay too. Other than that, we are happy and will come back again!"
