IMHO this restaurant is a worthy new addition to Metro Manila’s elite circle of high-end Chinese dining destinations. If you haven’t visited their newly renovated space and building yet, you’ll be pleasantly surprised—it’s shed its former gold and red gaudiness in favor of a tasteful, elevated look that’s now fit for classy gatherings.
However to truly match the caliber of top hotel restaurants, the service still needs fine-tuning. Despite the many staff members on the floor, it was surprisingly difficult to get anyone’s attention. That said, the team remained professional—diligently changing plates and neatly packing our leftovers for takeaway. Note also that they have an elegant ballroom on the second floor that can accommodate up to a whopping 800 guests.

It’s a brilliant invention: all the pepper personality, none of the numbing drama.

Came out piping hot and served straight to us. Servers were very attentive and answered our queries on menu items. This restaurant's ham siu kok version is airy and has little filling inside. The crunch though was amazing mouth feel! Their taro puff is so good while asado siopao has big chunks of meat in it. They also have other menu items which are staple for Chinese lauriat like noodles, roast duck, roast goose, various types of seafood like lobsters and abalone. Hope I can try out their other menu items in the future. To the hardworking staff, keep up...

I realized was not with me. My friend called several times. Other friend came down and looked and asked security guard twice.
