The fresh oysters were really good, with nice dressing. The Calamari appetiser was great & tender. The Chongqing (popcorn) Chicken was so tasty. They’re pricier than the usual restaurants I go too, but it’s good for special occasions. Nice ambience & great service. Kids friendly too, as they’re give activity pack for kids (or I believe you can request this).

I don't normally leave reviews but I was very disappointed with the food. I had dinner at lotus before and it was good so I decided to bring mum there. We order the salt and pepper squid, the squid is so small and so chewy that it's like rubber. The pork belly was dry and hard. Even the salted duck egg yolk bun have little duck egg yolk favour. I did feed back to the staff about the quality of squid. Overall very disappointing.

We came here for a dinner on a Saturday night and got the $109 banquet. Food was good but for the price, I would have expected more. I really enjoyed the pecking duck, dim sum and scallop dish although the desert was a bit too sweet. The staff were friendly and attentive, also catering the menu to our needs (spice level and intolerance).

Fantastic food with an upscale atmosphere. Food is 5/5 and I would highly recommend anyone coming here at least once. No real complaints, food was delivered quick and was delicious. Good amount of vegan options too and were able to cater to any dietary needs (dairy free/vegan/etc) Staff were attentive although I found at times too attentive and this is why I’ve marked down a star. It felt like I never got a good five minutes to just sit and decide what I wanted or have five minutes to eat my food in peace. Constant staff asking if I was ready to order and even once my food was delivered it seemed like staff didn’t have enough to keep themselves occupied. I understand that a restaurant of this particular price point is expected to have better and more service, however the line between good service and too much service is thin. Still highly recommend this place for anyone, the service was just a bit excessive in my opinion.

4.5 Stars. The service and location are excellent. The food is very good and reminds me of Lilong or Taste of Shanghai. It is a little overpriced, but I would love to come back again to try more of the menu.
