Today I went this one, but not at Orchard, went Chinatown one. Since I have kids, I let them eat first and after it tried to eat by myself. However seemingly the shop staff somehow after kids finished eating always trying to let us go in earlier, telling me, asking us similar question “whether go or not” and cleaning our table. Not only cleaning, but that is more like “let us go” since the ladies want to finish the work in earlier. In spite of there are still many tables there (3PM) and nobody waiting for us. When I tried to eat XiaoLongbao, try to use source but after I ate first one, I realized the ladies already moved the sources! It was always like that. I can not understand what for they were like that however at least I know “the ladies want to finish their work” that’s it. Since it was too much, I complained but still it was going (I told in English and Chinese, the person went me together who is Chinese native also told), and nobody shop staff there care. After finished there told the reception lady (seemingly manager) but does not have any respond so much. Actually I have wanted to eat more (taste is not bad) since after kids, other persons ate still I never ate so much, but since they are already trying like that, I didn’t feel “I order something again” and moved as the ladies want. Here. just see the attitude I strongly DONT recommend to anybody. I guess, since I am Japanese they have thought I am traveler here however actually I stay in Singapore. If somebody ask me about the restaurant I answer “no good”. I am not sure about Orchard but at least about Chinatown. No reason to go a restaurant which workers does not want people staying. Of course can not expect normal services so much, just feeling bad. No point to go, does not feel any Xinfu. If next time I go, should be Orchard one (since taste, I like)..but not Chinatown.

I read with interest the comments u said about this restaurant and there’s a fatal error here.
Fortunate Restauarant and Yum Cha is no longer together-not linked in any way at all.
Each brother runs their own promo separately .
So that was teh misleadeing part.
As for the food,I suggest you go and try them out this year-=especially the ones that had dissappointe dyou.
There is a new lady in charge and every dish is whippe dto shape.
The reason I know is becoz I am working together with them but not ana employee.
Dun believe me-go try yourself.

Hello PB: really? u been to the toa payoh branch ar? hows the food there?

Hello Camemberu: Yeah i guess so. lol! after u been to cherry garden, everything else looks average. hahah!

Hello Mama Bok: No worries, next time u come Singapore we go eat good food. lol!

Hello Nic: Yeah, dim sum is average, mayb unless for the har gau and siew mai. But after 50% discount, and if you are not that fussy with the quality, i guess they are pretty decent.

Hello jiaying: i never say i’m a lady. everyone just assume because of my nick LADYironchef. lol!! there’s no such thing as free lunch yea? so i suppose we take some and give some. hahaha

I likey this place..!! not too ex either.. we never get such good dim sum here..

LOL! 30% off your dim sum means you get 2 char siew buns only instead of 3!~keke

Thanks for the review…I quite suspected they’d be average only. Proven right.
Might as well save up the money for a better place!
