Reviews Summary
New Chef's Delicious Restaurant is praised for its good food and pleasant atmosphere, making it a favorite for family events. While many enjoy the fresh dim sum and signature dishes like 'Unforgettable' seafood, some reviews mention slow service, disorganized ordering, and issues with food temperature during dim sum service. The restaurant also offers private rooms with karaoke, making it suitable for celebrations.
"Had an excellent tim sum lunch here with some friends during my last visit to Kuching (about a month back).
Good variety and quality of ingredients. The only downside was the “kwai lin kou” dessert which was served in a take-away plastic container and was quite tasteless."

"One of the few good dimsum place in Kuching. Freshly made, not the frozen type. The service was kinda slow on a Sunday morning despite so many staffs as there were a lot of customer too. Noodles were great but both the crispy pork and the bbq one need to be improved."

"Came here for the first time on a Sunday morning around 9:30 AM. There was just one group ahead of us, and the door staff was friendly - he even offered us bottled water while we waited, which was a really thoughtful touch. We were seated in under 10 minutes, so things started off on a good note.
But once we got to our table, things quickly became confusing. There was no menu available, and no one explained how the ordering system worked. We sat around unsure of what to do until a staff member finally came by and told us that dim sum would be brought around on a pushcart. He also mentioned he’d take orders for made-to-order dishes like noodles and help us order chee cheong fun - but that never arrived.
There was a glass cabinet beside us filled with fried items, but everything inside was cold. We later learned they were supposed to reheat them for you, but that never happened either. The entire ordering experience felt disorganized and unclear. We’ve been to many dim sum places both locally and overseas, and this was the first time we weren’t given a simple order sheet and pencil to choose our dishes - even with pushcart service, that’s typically the standard.
And then there’s the chili oil - surprisingly, none was provided! When we asked, the staff seemed unsure and brought out a garlicky chili sauce instead. Only bottled Life-brand chili sauce was available on the table. Cantonese dim sum with no chilli oil is not good!
As for the food - it was okay, but nothing stood out. Most dishes, especially the fried items, were served cold and had lost their crispness. Portions were small for the price, and overall, the food didn’t quite meet expectations. Despite having a lot of staff on the floor, service felt slow and uncoordinated. There was only one large pushcart going around the entire restaurant, which meant long waits between offerings. When it came time to pay, we had to call someone over to count our colour-coded baskets and then head to the counter ourselves to settle the bill. With so many digital ordering tools available now, a few simple changes could really improve efficiency.
The restaurant is probably better known for its main menu items. But when it comes to serving dim sum, there’s definitely room for improvement - both in terms of service and food quality."
