" I visited The Kitchen last weekend and was blown away by the authentic Cantonese flavors. The dim sum selections were fresh and delicious. The shrimp dumplings were a highlight, bursting with flavor. However, we encountered a slight wait for service since the restaurant was busy, but the staff was friendly when they attended to us. I recommend arriving early to avoid long waits. Overall, a delightful experience that I cannot wait to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting The Kitchen felt like an enjoyable journey into Cantonese food. The crispy pork knuckle is absolutely a must-try, while the spicy shrimp brought a fun kick to the meal. The staff were accommodating and helped recommend some of their best sellers. The noise level was high, as expected in a busy dim sum joint, but I found it added to the ambiance. I’ll certainly be coming back for another round of their fantastic dishes soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Kitchen is a place for anyone looking for genuine Cantonese food. The atmosphere was lively, perfect for a gathering. The food was delicious with generous portions. I particularly enjoyed the fried rice and dumplings. The wait for food was longer than expected, but I’m willing to overlook it for such great flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews about The Kitchen, I decided to stop by during lunch. The ambiance was bustling, and the staff was somewhat attentive. I ordered a variety of dim sum, including their famous siu mai and fried rice. The food was delicious but the portions felt a bit small compared to what I expected. Overall, it was a good experience but probably wouldn't be my first choice for a dinner outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love The Kitchen for its authentic taste and amiable atmosphere. The food brings me back to my grandmother's kitchen! A must-try is the siu mai and truffle duck! My only drawback was long wait times for food, but given the flavors, I did not mind waiting. I will definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

My favorite was the beef balls - they were juicy and flavorful. Although the restaurant was crowded, the staff managed to keep service steady. I left satisfied and wanting to return soon!
