Just one word - "Pricey!" If you're expecting a great review for this restaurant, don't hold your breath. Well, the dim sum is excellent if you're willing to endure the wait. Not your traditional style dim sum where ladies push carts loaded with hot food around. Here, you'll have to order off the menu. Fortunately, for those of you who don't speak the language, there are pictures on the menu for you to point at. But aside from the dim sum, I would never go back for dinner or anything else for that matter.
Relatively speaking, this place is absolutely expensive for a Chinese restaurant and the price can no where near, justify the food. I was there for dinner once (4 adults + my daughter). We ordered 5 dishes, with one being a soup. Total bill came out to $196. My original order of soup came back as unavailable so the waiter suggested another. Little did I know it was gonna cost $45. We ordered a steamed fish but the price on the menu said "seasonal". That's typical of most places so I wasn't worried. Until the bill came and I saw that little fish (which could only feed 2 people) cost over $60!! If the fish was huge, fine, but my 3-year old could've eaten the whole fish herself.
I could go on and on about this restaurant but that's not what my blog is about. To sum it up, go to Sea Harbour only for the dim sum. It's still a little more pricey than others but it is good if you're willing to wait. As for lunch or dinner, forget about it. Save your money and have 5 good dinners at Sam Woo's. I will never eat dinner there again. I should've known when I saw the wine rack at the front door. How many Chinese restaurants do you know, has a wine rack.
