    Food was very good, tasty. The prawns in the special fried rice were excellent and the steamed dumplings were very flavoursome. My wife loved her duck salad. Service was a little slow which was surprising given the place was only half full but overall we really enjoyed our dining experience there and will be back to explore more of the menu.

    The food as always is great but it’s rare we go as the price of a dinner is rarely less than $200+ for 4 and that’s with only 1 cocktails for 1 person.

    It was such a hot day, mid 30s outside so it was a little hot in the restaraunt. However the staff were very accommodating and tried their best to cool the place down. Not their fault! Can't fault anything. Food and service outstanding! I would take the weather into consideration when bookomv next time 😊

    Was ignored multiple times. Asked for water 5 times. Asked for soy sauce 4 times. Claims they didn’t have half the dumplings on menu even though we saw others coming getting dumplings which apparently weren’t available. Sat there for 45 minutes waiting to order Kept saying it was because they were understaffed but there were barely any customers there??

    Zelka and two of your staff were extraordinarily attentive, considerate and proactive. There was a difficulty with seating, and they handled it superbly. The food was, as I have come to expect, superb. It was a family birthday, and it went swimmingly. The only minor glitch was the delay on cocktails, minor really. I'd give you a chef's hat for this, as each dish excelled. Andrew Cohen – Glebe
