Authentic and delicious Cantonese food! Our favourtie dish was the lamb brisket with turnip which has a lovely rich flavour - the brisket was very tender and the turnip soaked up all the sauce. Roast duck was nice and fresh as well. Great service and nice decor a huge plus, especially compared to other Chinese places in the area.

First time here it won’t be the last, but we were visiting - we will definitely be back, when my child starts Uni . Excellent service, staff were friendly and kind. Best crispy noodles, actually hot and amazing taste! My mum would have loved it here !!!

One of my favourite restaurants to eat out in Southampton. Really friendly vibe with great service. The food is amazing! Always so full of flavour and beautifully presented. I highly recommend the trio of meats, great addition with any rice and noodles. We also had a combination of prawn / scallop and vegetable dim sum which the scallop was my favourite and my partner the prawn. Both were full of flavour. We also had some salt and pepper squid which was perfectly done as well! They are also accommodating to small adjustments for example we wanted a special rice with seafood and meats with a kind of gravy sauce on top (as seen in photos) which they had no problem at all doing! We loved our meal and are always looking for an opportunity to come back and eat here. You won’t be disappointed!! (The photos speak for themselves). Truly a lovely atmosphere and great place to eat in Southampton. Don’t miss out!

Took a short day trip to Southampton and read the great reviews, also ensuring the menu also had Chinese (you know it's more likely to be authentic!) The owner made us feel like we were regulars, he was really friendly with our toddler whom felt very comfortable with him as she can sometimes be shy around strangers. The food was very good and it's hard to find good dim sum outside of London. We will definitely be returning. Wheelchair/pram friendly as another customer came in an electric wheelchair with no issues as the tables weren't cramped together like a lot of restaurants in general, it felt very spacious. Accessible toilet with changing table was very clean looking. I only took photos after we'd started eating! Upstairs they also have a screen for karaoke parties which I think someone had hired as people were gathering there when I went upstairs to the toilets.

Exceptional service and atmosphere! Had late lunch with a friend and we ordered a set menu (Set B 25pp). For two people who usually eat a lot, we left FULL. We were warned not to order a starter (pork and prawn dim sum) but we didn’t listen! We should’ve listened but no regrets because food was great! The dessert was super cute and bunny shaped! Would definitely go again.

Came here for an early dinner before 5pm, so we were able to have 20% discount. Food: •Char siu (normal portion): it looks dry, but when you eat it's very soft and not chewy at all. Will definitely order this again next time. •Iced milk tea: for me it's a bit too sweet, as they use condensed milk, but it's still worth trying. A little pricey, but I would still order it again, as the tea does taste like HK milk tea. •Beef wok fried ho fun: not bad, but missing a bit more "wok hei" (鑊氣). Probably won't order this again. •Cha Leung: unfortunately it's not crispy enough in the middle, but the Cheung fun is good. •Har gau: definitely recommend trying this. The prawns tastes fresh and the seasoning won't overpower the prawns. The outer layer is also very thin (which is a good thing). •Salted egg custard bun: it's supposedly be a melted centre, but unfortunately it wasn't. Also the bun is too thick with not much filling. There's not much salted egg, but a very strong custard taste to it. Will not be ordering this again. •Siu mai: nothing disappointing but also no good surprises. •BBQ crispy pork (normal portion): skin is crispy and the seasoning is alright. There's not too much fat in the meat, so there is a decent amount of meat in each piece. •Roast duck (1/4): unfortunately this was quite disappointing too. The skin isn't crispy enough and in general a bit too salty. The service of the staff is good, very friendly. The seating is spacious and tables are clean. Even on a weekday it was moderately busy, but still plenty of good seats to choose from. Overall, the food is good, and will want to make me come and try their other dishes too.

I recently dined at this Cantonese restaurant wiz my friend, and I must say that my experience was truly exceptional. So, I decide to take some time to write a review here to share my experience in this wonderful restaurant with you all. -SERVICE From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm smiles and hospitable service of the manager and lovely waitress working there. And they were really attentive and made sure that every aspect of our experience was enjoyable. -FOOD From part of the photos, you can tell that each dish I ordered was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with authentic Cantonese flavours according to “official certification” from my Cantonese friend. From the savoury dim sum to the delectable Peking duck, I have to say that every bite was indeed a delight to the taste buds. -ENVIRONMENT The clean environment of the restaurant was also notable. The well-maintained dining area and immaculate restrooms added to the pleasant dining experience. This restaurant is truly a 10 out of 10, and I strongly recommend you all drop by and have one of the most amazing dining experiences by yourself.

Authentic Asian cuisine, food taste was good. Fried noodles were delicious and prawn was fresh, portion size was fine. Staff behaviour was polite but not friendly. Restaurant was clean and service was fast.
