“Good Dim Sum Lunch”
Reviewed 27 December 2015 via mobile

We enjoyed a good Dim Sum Lunch on a Sunday, recommended by friends, not sure if it's just for weekends? RMB 188+ service charge per person. Fairly extensive menu, even including small half lobster per person, Steamed Dimsum, Fried, Vegetables, Noodles, Congee and Deserts. Nice environment, not too large so a nice number of people, not noisy. Food taste very good, service a little slow, expection for a St Regis should have been better, lucky we weren't in any hurry. We had to call for service a few times. But good value and good food in a nice setting. Restaurant on 2nd floor.

“Beautiful Setting Underwhelming Kitchen”
Reviewed 13 November 2015

Great setting BUT underwhelming kitchen. We had the pork ball with hairy crab roe for the starter (its hairy crab season and it was on a special card) but you could not taste the crab roe. The we had boneless pork ribs. Two of the largest pork ribs arrived in a latter with the meat shredded on the plate. These pigs must have been the size of a mule. Not tasty at all. Very pricy.

“Ordinary and over-priced”
Reviewed 25 April 2015

Other people have obviously had a better experience than ours, which left us with memories of various good-but-not-great Cantonese restaurants we've known in the United States; only the cod was better than what I would ordinarily expect. Yet the tab—for three dishes and four drinks for a party of three—came to more than RMB 1600, or over $90 per person: it difficult to see good value in that.

“Elegant Chinese Dining”
Reviewed 16 July 2014

We ate at this restaurant both in the open space dining area and in a private room with a group. Both experiences were enjoyable. The food was of high quality and cooked with flair and imagination. Service was worthy of the St. Regis high standards. The decor was elegant and tasteful. I would recommend this restaurant highly, especially to those who are staying at the hotel.

“Top Flight”
Reviewed 11 December 2013

The team does a great job supporting a business dinner in a private room. I can't speak to having a dinner in the open space dining area. A good wine list. If you are staying in the hotel then it is even better.
