Most individual dishes range from NT$180 to NT$450 and include dim sum favorites, seafood, sweet and sour and stir-fried items, shark’s fin and bird’s nest delicacies, roasted duck, soups, noodles and rice. Set meals include the Cantonese dim sum combination (NT$680-880), assorted Cantonese barbecue cold cut combination (NT$1,200), and suckling pig, foie gras and dim sum combination (NT$2,500). There are four VIP rooms for private parties. The service is good and the ambiance is quiet and upscale.
