I called to inquire about whether they still have yusheng, but before I could say anything,, the lady abruptly shouted, "Faster say what you want, I’m very busy!" This was incredibly rude and completely uncalled for, especially during CNY. It was a terrible customer experience, and I would advise everyone to avoid patronizing them if you don’t want to let this kind of bad behavior spoil your festive mood.

The girl at the stall was extremely rude and self-entitled. While we were simply adding more items to our order, she rudely told us not to add anything else and even claimed that there was a long queue behind us—as if we hadn’t already queued like everyone else. She even said, “If you’re not happy, you don’t have to buy from here.” Such an entitled attitude, especially when their food doesn’t even taste as good as before anymore. Definitely not coming back—there are better stalls just behind this one.

Still the best Yusheng in town.
The yusheng was generously portioned.
The plum sauce was sweet and tangy, sesame seeds and strips of vegetables added nice crunch to the dish too.
They offer different type of toppings from abalone, fresh salmon, jelly fish and even vegetarian raw fish.

Tried their highly-recommended lohei at an event and was pretty impressed by the authentic taste and freshness of the ingredients. Personally went down during CNY to buy home to share with family. Their salmon lohei didn't disappoint but strongly feel that they can do much better by seriously brushing up on their customer service, smile more and not be so arrogant. Customers are already paying higher than normal to enjoy their lohei and the family should be very happy!
