"Often dapao here, sometimes will dine in breakfast here. Dim sum portion is big enough, taste very delicious. Besides all sorts of variety of dim sum, They have other choice like kon lo mee. Price is standard, almost similar other dim sum shop. Affordable."

"A good place for dim sum The shop is located on the busiest strip of road on Lintas. Parking is an abysmally chaotic and stressful problem. The most common time to patronise the shop is during the weekends so if you plan on beating the crowd, it’s best to come in the early mornings some time between 7 to 8am is best. Tables are extremely limited and they share an alleyway with another coffee shop next door which makes the whole area even more packed with people. The shop is hitherto not as well known to tourists as the New WK is which makes a good alternative to avoid tourist crowded shops is Kota Kinabalu. Service is nothing to write home about and as this is a typical coffee shop, one should not expect 5 star services from the staff. Although much of the staff are hired help, seeing as the restaurant is family owned so some of the servers are family members so it wise to be respectful. Service could get really slow during peak hours so you will need to be patient and so far from my numerous visits, they have yet to make severe mistakes while serving customers. The food is more traditional versus what you would find in more famous restaurants. I highly recommend trying the scallop dumplings 带子卖 & 带子饺, the scallops are big and juicy enough to be worth the money. I personally also like the bean skin prawn 腐皮虾卷 & beancurd skin with sauce 豉汁鲜竹卷. The Cheong Funs are not really that good so unless you are a devoted fan of them, you’re not missing out anything. Besides dim sum, they do sell noodles and rice as well. Prices are a little steep, as with other dim sum shops in Sabah, and is rising by the years. Price - $$ and increasing Service - Fair Food - Good Location - Good but difficult Will I come back - Yes Would I recommend - Yes"

"Nice konlou mee here. Had it with pork chop which is properly fried and good ratio. And served with clear soup with wonton! Dim sum were mid which is weird because of the shop name."
