The reception insist us to take number for the table and do not allow to change seat even there are plenty of empty seat that time. Dim sum not so delicious also. Don't think will be coming back again.

This is the place to start the day, has many dim sum options with reasonable prices. If arrived early, no need to wait for the table, but if you come late, you need to wait for table arrangements.
