" It's a decent spot for dim sum, but I wish there was more variety. The dumplings and buns were tasty, but some of the menu items felt generic, lacking the authentic punch I crave. The service, while friendly, was a bit slow as well. I believe there's room for improvement, especially with the menu choices. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Hei La Moon based on the reviews, but my experience was subpar. The food tasted like standard fare, not much authentic flavor that I was expecting. The service however, was quite friendly. I think this could be a hit or miss depending on what you order. I'd suggest getting a few recommendations from the staff before ordering. " (*Curated Review*)

" An average experience overall. The food had a good taste, but I wouldn’t say it was the most authentic dim sum I’ve had. The pork buns were good but the chicken feet were an acquired taste that I personally didn’t enjoy. The service was average and the atmosphere was lively. Not the worst, but I've had better. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time enjoying dim sum at Hei La Moon and it was stellar! The staff was friendly and ensured we felt welcome. Each dumpling was delicious, though we had to ask multiple times for certain items. I've had dim sum before, but there's something special about this place. It's definitely worth a return visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a rather mixed experience. While the atmosphere was lively and inviting, I found some dishes to suffer from excessive greasiness. The dumplings were nice but definitely could have been served hotter. Also, the service felt rushed as our waitstaff didn’t seem to keep track of our table. Overall, okay but could improve in the kitchen and on the floor. " (*Curated Review*)

" Attended Hei La Moon with friends and we had an overwhelming amount of food! The variety was impressive, and I was blown away by how affordable the meal was for the quality offered. My personal favorite was the custard-filled buns! Even though it took a bit of time for our server to check on us, I must say it was an overall delicious experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had some high expectations based on the reviews, but it was just average for me. The dim sum was good, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve had better elsewhere. The ambiance was lively, yet service felt disorganized. Wouldn’t say it was bad, but it wasn’t exceptional either. Might need to give it another try someday. " (*Curated Review*)
