This is a restaurant that is very respected, considered very traditional (it is) and quite an institution. Thus expectations should be higher. Have been here many times. Decor is not only traditonal but has probably not changed, which is fine. But surely it ought to feel a bit cleaner? Mind you, it is not downright dirty, but like I said it can be cleaner. One must not confuse or equate "traditional" with "dirty" or "poor service". Think of the Peninsula and you will immediately understand.The

There are 3 floors (or more?) and the place is rarely more than half full for dinner. Perhaps it can do better if it bothers to get up from its laurels and up the ante.
On the latest visit, we ordered the usual (which they do the best) plus a couple more - the restaurant indeed delivers pretty good traditional Cantonese fare. I am highlighting what I found impressive.
Soup from carp, vegetables and pork - wholesome, no non-sense, good old Cantonese soup, as always, with a huge plate of the ingredients separately presented which shows how much has gone into the soup and in fact tastes great and healthy just eaten with a bit of soy sauce - Grade A
Sweet and sour pork - tasty and traditional but can be crispier- Grade A-.
Sliced beef in black sauce with green chilli - again tasty and traditonal. A plus when one does not taste the bi-carbonate of soda / tenderizer - Grade A.
Sauteed prawns - fresh and succulent - Grade A.
As you can see, I do not dislike the food, just the fact that they do not bother when it can be so much better.
