This restaurant boast to having unique Hong Kong type Dim Sum like the Beancurd Roll which is surprisingly tasty because of the fresh Vege and meat; it comes with sambal & a unique soy sauce with chicken liver flavour. However its famous egg tart and Char Siew pau is disappointing as the egg tart pastry carry a weird Kan Sui (non pastry like) taste & the pau bread is chewy/tough not fluffy and carry a weird scent as well. The Pork Dumpling and Steam Beancurd is average in taste but is fresh. Ordered Fried Taro but the waiter took the order wrongly and gave Fried Prawn & Cheese Roll instead; its tasty but not what I wanted. The fish porridge is surprisingly tasty rather than the usual bland white porridge with boneless soft fish meat chunks however they didn't separate the ginger but lucky they thinly slice it and did not put much of it hence it's not overwhelming. The Cold Mango Pomelo Sago didn't look at all like the picture and U can't really feel the sago but at least it's nice (balanced & tasty). The interesting one is the Sesame Ball being like mochi with lots of nuts topping and good black sesame taste while being a little salty as well. Service wise, waiters are hard to reach as they stand far away and U have to walk to them but they then improved and position themselves strategically so it's easy to call them. Food wise expect a wait as they will only prepare it once U placed Ur order but this somehow ensure quality. Price wise it is higher compared to other popular Dim Sum restaurants. Accepts Cash only. There are High Chairs & Sufficient parking here. 12 Aug revisit: Egg Tart doesn't have the weird Kan Sui taste any more & the egg is smooth & fragrant. As for the Pau, the dough no longer have the weird smell & is fluffy (note: U need to eat this when it's served hot else it will taste not as good); I notice the red filling previously and again today, it's Chinese Red Wine with pieces of meat than minced meat which is unique and...
Read moreThe honest truth. I woke up early on sunday, drove myself to this restaurant at 7.30am expecting a nice breakfast. Found the restaurant but no customer at that time. The restaurant was rather stuffy inside probably just open for business at 8am. I am a dimsum lover and have tried every where in Asia but I found this restaurant over rated. The siew mai was mixed with Prawn and pork which is not authentic and had a smell of not too fresh pork meat. First time discovered siew mai is not 100% Pork. The har kow was either kept frozen for a long while or over steamed. The prawn has no tender and juicy taste but hard. Finally the fried radish does not have enough wok hei and was rather bland. Egg and bean sprout became the main ingredients instead. The "Loh mai kai" was not served hot and too oily causing it some over night smell. I did not order anymore as i know most of the Dim Sum items would not be fresh and authentic. It was a disappointing experience trying out this much acclaimed Hong Kong Dim Sum restaurant. Be prepared to drink lots of water as the msg is so empowering. I don't normally give negative comment but I always be truthful about my review. I don't want others to believe in over rated reviews which sometime paid to false review. Overall this restaurant is so-so considering the price cheap. Don't expect fresh quality dim sum, even Dolly dim sum taste much much better than this Dynasty Palace Dim...
Read moreCant put a finger to it. But i feel. Yes in my opinion. Its barely 4*
Could be 4 or 5 even if i like eating healthy. Reason being, its abit bland? We ordered the usual dim sum like we would at other big spot. Lets start with the good. The friend shrimp is amazing, can taste the freshness so is the fried turnip. The kick of spiciness hits on the first bite and its been addictive from then. CCF the skin was shiny! And they made it nice and neat. Shrimp was big and fresh. But the pork one was disappointing. You get burst of meats but then it wasnt full of flavour.
Then we have quiet frankly near tasteless lohmakai. Next i had better pork ribs everywhere else, i cant even see the yam and couple of black beans. Not to mention the ribs werent tender ( yes it may only be this portion i got). Siew mai? So so. Definitely forgetable experience.
Besides service is top. We may come after peak hours but theyre always around ready to serve...
