Had CNY meal here after some ill-advised recommendations. I'm not saying that the food is terrible but rather, for the price, you are not getting value. The dishes were mediocre.

Our earlier reunion lunch for a family of 5 was settled here. A small Chinese restaurant but menu was extensive and some dishes were unusual. The food was decent and the service was attentive.

Excellent dining experience at Yu Pavilion Restaurant. The dim sum is fresh, delicate, and full of flavor, with high-quality ingredients and beautiful presentation. Every dish was well-prepared and tasted amazing.

Restaurant didn't manage to capture our reservation. Lucky there is still 1 big table available for 10 pax. Food taste so so. Ordered medium size prawn paste chicken waitress told me have 8 pieces. When serve the dish only 6 pieces. They said will serve 2 more pieces separately. However told them twice before it was served.
