I've only been here for yum cha so I'll focus on that and it does it well, love the steamed options here including the snow pea and prawn. This is pretty much my only place for yum cha in Adelaide so I might be a biased.
Since living in Australia for the past 7 years I have never had a dim sum place that compared to Vancouver for value and quality until Ding Hao. And Ive had dim sum in Brisbane, Sydney.
We Ordered 7 things including all the staples, prawn dumplings were large and fresh the wrap is thin and translucent, Shui Mai was flavourful along with all the other dishes
Pretty impressed with Adelaide’s China town district.
First visit to yum cha and what a great experience Ding Hao offered. Plenty of fresh and hot food coming past all the time, from all sorts of dumplings, to little desserts. Overall I was really impressed, and after having so much it was relatively cheap.
This is one of the best places to have yum chai in Adelaide! The staff were super friendly and the food was similar to the one I used to have in Hong Kong! Love that egg tart with the pastry based! Restaurant usually use cookies for the base of the egg tart in Australia. Couldn’t found one with pastry based after a year and a half in Australia until this! Definitely go for it if you wanna try the tradition Hong Kong egg tart!
Sunday lunch and the place was buzzing
There was a good range of things being bought round but the service was slow and some things you might expect at Yum Cha (notably egg tarts and custard buns) were either sold out or unavailable. BBQ pork buns were delicious but the salt and pepper squid was a bit tough and quite oily
Look, it wasn't bad and it was better than some. But the standard set by our trip to the Little Canton on Henley Beach Rd wasn't really met.
Good, but not great.
这是一个要为了一张桌子等很久的地方，但我觉得这一点并不会给这家店扣分。等待的时间长只是因为它的popularity很高而且是during peak time，提前book会好很多。但虽然这样讲的确用餐环境有些嘈杂拥挤，而且如果是在周末，又没吃过yumcha的话可能不知道从何下手。但作为一个留学生我就是为了这种很像国内茶楼的氛围去的，所以给五分不怕骄傲。
How to start.............. this place just tick all the boxes for me after being away from home (Singapore) for almost 4 year .
Ding Hao has good food, fantastic services and we always feel welcome by their staff. No matter how busy they were, they will make sure your requirements are met. They did not hold back on the number of staffs they hired meaning you will always have someone to take care of your needs.
Expect some waiting time if you did not make any booking especially on Saturday and Sunday but the wait is worth it , good food in a typical dim sum atmosphere plus friendly busy smiles that will make sure you have a great weekend.
Just give it try and this is as close as what you can get from a truely dim sum setting.
The amount of times I go to ding hao a WEEK! I go for yum cha at least 2-3 times a week here and each visit has never let me down. The service is great & probably even more better now that I'm technically a "regular" 😅 and the yum cha is always fresh and delicious! They have a list of dishes you can choose from on weekdays which has a great selection and then on weekends, they have lots of different other dishes/yum cha that they serve especially for weekends with a variety coming out to you on trolleys so that you can see exactly what they've got and what you want compared to weekdays dining where they don't serve their yum Cha in trolleys! I highly recommend anyone looking for a good yum Cha eatery here in Adelaide. Ding hao is the place to go for it! Even their standard menu is great also if yum cha isn't what you're after!
My biggest regret is not taking pictures of the amazing food served at this restaurant. This place is awesome!!! Duck, steak, fried rice and mushroom/bok choy- great for a quick tasty cheap, fresh Chinese meal. Top service- staff are so friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend and return. Thank you 😊
food is nice but how can you serve cups with lip gloss stain and broken tea pot to customers?? Unsatisfactory services. Having called for staff for food for several times and they ignored me. Guess they were too busy chatting and gossiping. The cashier demanded me to pay by cash which I didn't have that much and she said, "don't do this next time!" Well there won't be a next time.
Really love this restaurant, really quality dishes, friendly staff and bosses, our family love to visit this place for dinner. Simple cosy little place. Heard they are moving to a new location nearby. Must visit before they move. Will definitely come again.
- Recommend: lava bun, prawn dumpling, mango pudding
- Not recommend: chicken feet, bbp pork bun, golden fried squid, fried wonton, egg tart, scallop dumpling
Lots of food we ate here in many times. We used to be regular customer until we found another better yum cha place.
Tried the zhangcha duck and it surprised me. Very tender and great charcoal aroma. If you like light and fresh taste it is good.
Food always great there.
The restaurant is moving to new premise soon.
Our go-to place for yumcha / dimsum 點心 on weekends. It gets really busy as soon as it opens. The dishes come out from the kitchen hot and fresh. Service is great and has greatly improved through the years. It's a great, no-fuss, all-about-the-food type of place.
Tip: Ask for extra chilli oil to dunk your dumplings in
