" I had heard about Cui Hua Lou from some friends and finally got a chance to try it. The lamb soup was fantastic—so hearty and warming! The environment is a bit cramped but it adds to the charm. The only drawback was the service; our waiter seemed overwhelmed. I can see myself returning for the incredible flavors if nothing else! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch here recently, and the lamb lamb brain in sauce was delicious! I also loved the spicy skewers. The restaurant is small but vibrant, just the right captured spirit of an authentic Chinese eatery. I must admit the service was a bit scattered as it was busy when I went, but that won't keep me from returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall great food, but the service did leave something to be desired. The lamb dishes were very authentic and generously portioned. The atmosphere was bustling, giving it a real authentic feel. Despite some minor service hiccups, I'd definitely consider coming back for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)
