The dim sum is not as expected. Not sure how the restaurant obtained the "Michelin Guide". Was informed the dim sum is exceptional but to our disappointment, we still went ahead. Totally not worth the price. Even small coffee shops probably taste better....

I want to express my appreciation for the friendly staff at the hotel restaurant. My family remarked that the food was excellent. Additionally, the waitress with short hair, who speaks Cantonese, was particularly helpful. She kindly reminded us about the portion sizes to help us avoid overindulging. Good service, friendly staffs, excellent food.

A rather disappointing experience. Service was excellent, but the restaurant was hard to find, the ambience cold (as was the temperature) and whilst the food quality was satisfactory, one dish arrived cold and had to be reheated twice whilst I waited for two other dishes to arrive.

An excellent Chinese restaurant - no wonder it's Michelin rated. And yes, it's pricey, especially for Malaysia. So if you want to shop around, I'm sure you'll find great food that is much less costly, but it won't be better

There were banana flies hovering around our table. But nobody came to remove them.

Strives to balance the menu between traditional Chinese and popularised Western Chinese. Food is lovely but service disjointed - it comes when it's ready. The ambience suffers from the whole of the hotel in that mixed carpet and marble flooring just doesn't work in bars and restaurants. Wine list is only fair. However I would return if staying in the RC which is highly likely!

Dim Sum was so so only, not the Michelin standard.
