" Had a lovely time at Purple Dot! The food was consistently delicious, from the nicely seasoned dumplings to the light and flaky pastries. The staff was friendly, and the service was quite prompt, even with the place being busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great spot for dim sum but challenging to navigate during busy hours. The staff is friendly, though you may need to wait a bit longer for your food. Still, the taste more than makes up for any wait time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall very satisfied with my experience! They offer a great selection of dim sum that brings a taste of home. The ambiance is inviting despite being busy, and the prices are reasonable for the portions you get. Will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try this place after hearing great reviews. Overall, there's a lot to love about Purple Dot, especially the renowned tea and variety of dishes. However, I had a bad experience this last visit as my order took far too long, and the dish I received didn't match what I had ordered. Perhaps they were just having an off night, but I felt disappointed overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried this restaurant for the first time and I left feeling like I had eaten way too much, but in the best way possible! The quantity was generous, and the flavors were on point. Service was friendly as well. Will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience during my last visit. I ordered the chef's special dim sum, and what I got felt like a haphazardly prepared dish lacking freshness. I could tell the kitchen was overwhelmed, but I expected better quality for the price. Hopefully, this was a one-off scenario. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time here, and I enjoyed the experience. The decor was nice, but it was a bit crowded. I found the menu overwhelming, but the staff was kind and guided us through it. The food was fresh and well presented, but my order took longer than expected. " (*Curated Review*)
