    A good choice hosting guests from China. Can't match to food that they have access to but attentive service made the experience a good one. Some Yum Cha servings were a little cold.

    I think on this experience we were the only Westerns in the room which is not a problem we felt lucky to get the best table overlooking the city, great views. The food was brilliant the staff were great and if you want a double scotch and coke I can highly recommend they don’t hold back. Best Yum Cha ever

    Very good Yumcha. Fast service and quality products. All of the prawn-based offerings were excellent. Really liked the dessert “Dau Foo Fa” (tofu pudding). Cannot fault the service, food came rapidly, but we did book the first yumcha session of the day. Yumcha is no longer a cheap meal. Not compared to say 10 years ago. At Secret Kitchen it is good value based on quality of the various “dim sums” the ambiance, the service and the price.
