京鼎小館 — Restaurant in Songshan District

I was going to give this review a 5 stars but having to pay $34 for tea in the end was a bit disappointing. Tea was served without asking so I presumed it’s complementary. It’s good tea so I don’t mind paying, just wish I’ve been told. The egg fried rice was one of the best i ever had and the pork cutlet was largely good, a few bit felt a little dry. The soup was good too, but not the flavour that I’m used to, maybe it’s a regional style, i won’t mark it down cos it’s not what I’m used to. Dining environment was good too. Air con was very powerful but the food stayed mostly hot right...

We ordered delivery often and honestly the food itself is above average, considering the price yet when we came to dine in today and found that the queuing system is awful. We were told that we are the next to get a table for two soon and several waitresses came to ask us the same question like how many of you and we answered, and then were told to wait. And ! We saw regular patron just walked directly to a table that the staff was cleaning and we thought it would be us, accordingly to what we were told. We just left as we don’t know if there are any patrons would cut...

Best characterised as a ‘Heartland Din Tai Fung’. No queue on a Saturday 11am.

Food wise, the pork chop on the fried rice was just slightly short of that tenderness level I needed but still very well seasoned (maybe they dont use tenderiser powder). Fried rice was ok although almost every table ordered.

Xiao long bao and dumplings in chilli oil are a must order.

Beef Soup was good too. slightly hearbal taste and beef was also just slightly tougher than I would have liked but I suspect this was due to the cut.

Overall, a very value for money...
