You won’t go wrong with Regals if you’re after authentic chinese cuisine or a fantastic spread of yum cha. They have a great variety to choose from their menu and are often packed, so do book in advance. Parking is ample around the streets however one inconvenience is the lack of an elevator, which might not be accessible for the elderly etc. I’ve also added some videos from chinese new year where they often have the lion dance performance which is entertaining for all.

Came here a few years ago and it was good and packed with people. Came for dimsum again today and taste was ok but food was cold, and the fried dishes seems like its been there for a while… not quite crispy. Will be trying out other restaurants

Lots of Cantonese people were here for yum cha, so my expectations were high. While the atmosphere was good, the dishes were mostly not.
The har gao was fishy, mixed with bamboo and seemed off. The xiu mai was all tough pork. The xiao long bao was all meat and no soup. Taro pan fried cakes were super dry, and chinese donut rice rolls were flattened with too much soy sauce.
The chicken feet were delicious though, the only standout dish. The pan fried chive cakes were alao good.
The trolley service was also a bit pushy with some of the orders (like the drink cart and desserts) while having to request core dim sum dishes like har gow was a bit odd.
