" I had dinner here last week and was quite pleased! The staff quickly welcomed us and recommended a great tea to start with. I ordered the dumplings, and they were fantastic! Steamed perfectly, with just the right amount of dipping sauce on the side. This place definitely holds true to the authentic flavors of China. However, it’s important to note that it can get pricey, but if you're looking for a great dining experience, it’s worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Radiance caught my eye with its beautiful decor as I was walking around midtown. The atmosphere is really cozy, making it great for any occasion. The food was delectable, especially the braised beef with noodles—comfort food at its finest. The service was attentive, although our server could be more familiar with the menu. Despite slightly smaller portion sizes, the freshness of the ingredients made up for it. I’ll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Radiance is definitely not your average Chinese restaurant. The moment you step in, you are greeted with a warm atmosphere decorated with beautiful ornaments. They truly take the dining experience to another level. The food? Amazing! If you're a fan of real, authentic Chinese dishes, you need to stop by. I personally loved the chili prawns; they were the best I've ever tasted. I'll certainly be telling my friends about this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Radiance while wandering through the city and curiously decided to give it a try. The freshly made scallion pancakes were delightful, and the steamed fish was exceptional! The staff was welcoming but seemed to be handling a lot of tables, so there was a slight delay in getting service. Even though it was busy, I enjoyed my meal immensely. Overall, a charming place I would recommend to anyone looking for authentic Chinese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was quite disappointed. While the ambiance was nice, I found the food to be quite underwhelming. I expected a medley of vibrant flavors and authentic dishes but what I got were ordinary flavors that you can find at any standard Chinese restaurant. I had the Kung Pao chicken, which tasted like it was simply a reheated frozen meal. The wait staff was pleasant, but that didn't make up for the lack of authenticity. I won’t be returning any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Radiance offers a stunning experience for anyone who appreciates authentic Chinese cuisine. The rich flavors of the dishes here really transport you to another world. I was particularly impressed by the variety of teas which complemented our meal wonderfully. The servers were attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes. However, I did feel that the portion sizes could have been a bit more generous considering the price. Regardless, I’d still recommend this place to my friends looking for quality Chinese food in the city. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was delightful! From the moment we walked in, we were enveloped by a serene atmosphere that actually felt like we were dining in an upscale restaurant in China. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I ordered the spicy dumplings, which were bursting with flavor, while my partner opted for the seafood noodles—they were both superb. I was particularly impressed with their tea selection; each variety was fragrant and soothing. Though I thought the prices were a bit steep, the quality of the food justified it. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
