Great Taste Bakery & Restaurant

I went there yesterday for a family gathering. We came to enjoy some quality time together and have a good moment. We didn’t have to wait and were seated right away. We ordered some food, and after tasting it, it was just okay. The Singapore mai fun was not very flavorful. I liked the veal ribs with string beans, but they were stingy with the meat it felt more like a plate of string beans than veal. My dad wanted some ginger oil with the soy sauce chicken, but the waitress said they don’t provide that with this dish. I thought that was strange because it’s just a small cup of sauce that we wanted to enjoy with the chicken(if they said they just genuinely doesn't have it we will understand). Or If they had told us there would be an extra charge, we wouldn’t have minded paying. But she simply said no, and judging us which made the atmosphere tense. Instead, they brought out a lot of the different sauce specifically for the chicken. but is a lot(a bowl), so we couldn’t finish the sauce with the chicken. When we were paying, the waitress noticed we didn’t finish the sauce and started mumbling in Cantonese under her breath, which really shocks us. She probably thought we didn’t understand Cantonese. After that, we just wanted to pay and leave. The tip included on the receipt was calculated after tax, and we paid more than 15%, even though the service wasn’t very good. She only checked on us once and never refilled our teapot. Despite that and despite her speaking badly about us we still wanted to be polite and leave a reasonable tip. However, as we were about to leave, she asked for an additional tip. My dad had already calculated and given her enough because our family usually tips based on the amount before tax. The recommended tip amounts at the bottom of the receipt were calculated after tax, and she pointed to those. My dad didn’t want to argue, so we gave her more. We definitely will not be coming back again. I know the restaurant will continue to get new customers, and maybe that’s why they treat people this way because losing one customer doesn’t really affect their revenue.

A great experience to try authentic Hong Kong cuisine. So it didn't knock my socks off but was serviceable for chinese take out. We ordered the sesame chicken but ended up getting sweet and sour instead. Oh well I should expect that maybe I didn't communicate well.

This dim sum restaurant gets packed after 12 pm for lunchtime. Most of the dim sum was tasty, but the shu mai could have been steamed a bit less. The skin fell apart because it was too wet. If you order an egg tart, it won’t be freshly …

It’s a pretty small dim sum place but they make the most out of it! The servers were attentive. As for the food, I thought the selection and quality of the food was average compared to other dim sum places I’ve been to. Nothing that was phenomenal, but nothing that was bad either. I particularly liked the shrimp dumplings. They also had a photo of red bean buns dressed like minions on the wall that we ordered. However, they gave us what I think are egg yolk buns instead, with no minions which was disappointing. Not sure if it was a language barrier or if they messed up our order.

I didn’t want to write this review because I don’t want a crowd to surge to this hidden gem!! …
