The fried rice was rather ordinary and seemed undercooked. The sweet and sour pork was acceptable, but the other pork dishes had too much sauce and didn't appear to be stir-fried thoroughly. The price per person is around $40–60. Overall, I would rate the food a 1, service a 4, and atmosphere a 3.

Turns out, excitement quickly curdled into disappointment. Maybe it was a post-Covid hiccup, but this place felt like a pale shadow of its dim sum greatness. First, the menu. It was like someone shrank it in the wash! Half the size, half the fun. Gone were my beloved pan fried dumplings (sob! , leaving only the deep-fried squid tentacles to hold the fort. While the food itself was decent, the limited selection left me feeling hangry for more. Then there was the service. Imagine a dim sum experience without trolleys merrily rolling by, tempting you with their delicious cargo. Yeah, that's what we got. One measly visit by the trolley at the start, then radio silence for the rest of our half-hour stay. We practically needed megaphones to summon staff whenever we craved something. Speaking of summoning, our tea mysteriously vanished after a staff member whisked away the teapot. Turns out, they weren't refilling it, just taking it elsewhere. So there we were, high and dry, with no further libations. To add insult to injury, the cashier casually charged us for the non-existent tea and shrugged off our concerns. Talk about a thirst trap! Look, I'm all for efficiency, but this felt more like a cattle prod than a dim sum experience. It seems like their strategy is to get you in, feed you quickly, and shove you out the door – not exactly how I want to spend my precious weekend brunch. So, will I be back? Absolutely not. My dim sum fix will be sought elsewhere, preferably at Emperor's Kitchen Leeming where, hopefully, the magic hasn't disappeared. As for Cannington, they've got some serious work to do if they want to reclaim their dim sum crown. Until then, my advice is to steer clear unless you're okay with a limited menu, absent trolleys, and phantom teapots. You've been warned! I also just remembered that there was peanuts in the chicken feet dish. Luckily I didn't have any otherwise I might have had to make a mad dash to the local hospital. Parking: Simply use the Westfield Carousel parking and walk over.
