An overall pleasant experience. Menu consists of your iconic dim sum dishes. Ordered the lotus leaf rice, xiao long bao and crystal shrimp dumplings. All of which were good and light tasting. Special mention to the lotus leaf rice and xiao long bao for being just as good as established locations. Dishes are made to order and will take 10-15 minutes.

It’s our first time trying out the food here. It is the only Halal certified stall. The lady who took our order was so friendly and pleasant. She even brought our order personally to our table, while our buzzer never made a sound. All the dimsum, pau, siew mai, glutinous rice, dumplings and fried stuff were so tasty! We were full simply by eating those items. The nasi lemak was ok, a bit different from typical nasi lemak due to the rice. Sambal tasted good. The mee rebus was alright. Would like to return again and probably order the porridge on top of their signature dishes 👍🏼

Hawker priced dim sum. Food was cooked upon ordering and served hot and fresh and that the reason for the 10-15mins wait during lunch time. Dim sum tasted original and fresh. Not those frozen type taste. Will come again if i’m nearby to try other dim sums.

Nasi Lemak was okay, rice was abit soft and slight lemak taste to it. The sambal was more towards the sweeter side but it was nice as it reminded me of the OG Ananas cafe sambal. Ordered the Xiao Long Bao and fried prawn dumplings. You have to wait for abit as they cook it to order, which is a good thing. The dumplings was great as they use real prawns in it. For the Xiao Long Bao it was not the best as the chicken inside has a very strong ginger/lemongrass taste to it but the broth tasted really great and it was full of flavour! For its price I would recommend people to come. :)

Disappointed by the Wait and Quality – Not Worth the Hype Visited this restaurant hoping for a satisfying halal dim sum experience, but unfortunately, it fell short in several key areas. 🍽️ Limited Dim Sum Selection The menu was surprisingly sparse for a dim sum spot. If you're expecting variety, you'll be disappointed. ⏳ Long Wait Despite “Freshness” Promise A notice at the counter claimed food would take 15–20 minutes due to being freshly cooked and made to order. Fair enough—but we waited 45 minutes before receiving our first dish, which was mee hoon soto. The delay was blamed on a faulty buzzer, but that doesn’t excuse the lack of coordination. 🥣 Mee Soto – Bland and Forgettable When it finally arrived, the mee soto lacked flavor and depth. It felt like a filler dish rather than something thoughtfully prepared. 🥟 Dim Sum – Overcooked and Greasy The fried dim sum came 5 minutes later, and it was a letdown—burnt, hard, and dripping with oil. Another 5 minutes passed before the steamed dim sum arrived, which was ok and nothing special but still didn’t redeem the experience. 🔍 Google Reviews Confirmed Our Experience After the meal, we checked Google reviews and found similar complaints about long waits and inconsistent food quality. Sadly, we had already decided not to return even before reading them. 💸 Better Halal Dim Sum Elsewhere There are other halal dim sum places offering better quality and faster service at similar prices. This one just doesn’t justify the wait or the hype. 🙏 Staff Were Polite To be fair, the two ladies working there were friendly and courteous throughout. It’s a shame the food and operations didn’t match their effort.
