Chef Tony offers an authentic dim sum experience, straight from Hong Kong. The menu features a variety of delectable options, including Soy Sauce Fried Noodles, BBQ Rice Rolls, Char Siu Bao, Custard Bun, and Xiaolongbaos. The service, while standard for a Chinese restaurant, requires proactive engagement from the customers to get the staff's attention.
The restaurant has recently been taken over by Crystal Palace, which has expanded the menu to include dim sum all day, along with various dishes and new appetizers like delicious carpaccio and shishito peppers. Customers have praised the freshness and quality of the food, with highlights like the Shrimp and Pork Dumplings with Black Truffles, Scallop and Shrimp Dumplings with Fish Roe, Rice Noodle Roll with Shrimp, Chicken Congee, and Deep-Fried Chinese Donuts with Shrimp.
The dinner menu is also well-received, with dishes like the Fried Rice with Fish Roe and Truffle and the Sweet and Sour Pork. The restaurant offers a welcoming and lively dining experience, with warm hospitality and a clean, conveniently located setting. While the service during dim sum is adequate, the increased selection of dim sum items compared to the dinner menu is a significant advantage.
Overall, Chef Tony provides a high-quality dining experience, with fresh, well-executed dishes and a comfortable atmosphere. The restaurant is recommended for both dim sum and dinner, though the expanded dim sum offerings seem to be the standout.
