The Golden Times Chinese Restaurant is inside the Ashfield Leagues Club and their Yum Cha menu has a great selection of dumplings, noodles and buns. It’s a busy and noisy restaurant and you feel like you have been transported to Hong Kong for the day. #chineserestaurant
Came here for lunch meeting on a weekday. The restaurant was pretty busy so we had to take a number.
It didn’t take long for us to get a table.
They have a large variety of yum cha and it was pretty good. The restaurant itself is quite spacious so they can accommodate a large group of people.
Very nice seafood!! Unforgettable lobster sashimi and stir fried mub crab.
Was told its now under complete new management and new chef team.
Will definitely go again for yum cha.
Free parking by the club is definitely a bonus
My go to yum cha. Meets the 3 golden rules of Yum Cha (>80% Asian clients, fresh varied choice, non belligerent staff) and even has on site parking so you can drive in. None of those dramas trying to get there in the city. We come here heaps and have honed our choices to salt and pepper squid, prawn rolls, dumplings galore, soy noodles, tofu hwa (or something like that) and of course custard tarts! Yummy. ps come before 12:30 to get the best on offer, come at 2pm when they're focused on packing up and you can be assured of a less than stellar time ..,
This restaurant is in the Wests Ashfield Leagues Club. We came here to celebrate Mother's Day with a yum cha brunch. Lucky we got here early as when we were leaving it was packed and the queue was out the restaurant and then some!
The service here is variable. When you managed to get their attention they were helpful but other times you would need try and wave them down without success. The variety of yum cha offered was slightly limited as the same food items on the trolleys kept coming round and the request for new items were forgotten. Luckily what we did receive was tasty. We enjoyed the steamed dim sum items as they had nice fillings and were quite flavourful.
If you are around inner west and craving for yum cha. This is the place to go. I wouldn't say this is the best place of all but definitely a place you should visit. I would highly recommend mango pancake for dessert.
My housemates and I felt like Yum Cha a few Sundays ago and we were looking for a new place to try. After looking at a few reviews and articles, we decided to give Golden Times Chinese Restaurant in West Ashfield Leagues a try.
Awesome decision. The food was delicious and I really enjoyed everything we ordered. Am bad with the names of the yum cha dishes so I'll let the pics speak for themselves.
Will definitely go back with a bigger group to order more.
Apparently becoming a member of the leagues club gives a dining discount, so will consider it next time.
Was craving for yum cha and after some googling, we found this resto in Ashfield that we haven't tried before. Despite the bad reviews on zomato, we decided to check it out as my friend once told me I shouldn't rely on zomato reviews when it comes to chinese resto. Turned out that my friend was right! We really enjoyed the food there!
We had har gau (prawn dumpling), siu mai (pork dumpling), chicken feet, stuffed bean curd skin, stuffed eggplant, jar leung (crispy dough wrapped in rice paper roll), char siu puff, wu kok (savoury taro dumpling) and osmanthus jelly for dessert. Such a long list to write! Surprisingly we were happy with all of them - while the skin wasn't the most perfect one, har gau has plenty shrimp in it, the crispy dough was actually crunchy (we requested extra sesame and sweet sauce for dipping) and the other dim sums were all very flavoursome.
Will definitely go back again, hopefully the quality of food will be consistent unlike a lot of the yum cha places.
Local yum cha place, the dim sums are quite fresh. Service: Trolleys come around the tables quite frequently and tea pots refilled often. Food: Enjoyed the chicken feet, honeycomb tripe and egg tarts. The har gow (prawn dumplings) are below average as the skin is too starchy for my liking. Also the wu got (taro pastry) had too little meat filling in comparison to taro outer. Value: our table of 3 spent $17pp and we were quite full after
The food was great (minus the taro dumpling), the service was great and the atmosphere was also great. Medium dishes cost $5.50 each, large dishes cost $6.60, specials cost $7.30 and deluxe dishes cost $7.90. Since we were a member of the club, we received a 10% discount which came to a total of $67.87 between 4 people. Can't wait to come back when I'm in the area.
This used to be our local Chinese restaurant. I miss the yum cha so much now that I live on the Central Coast (no yum cha up this way). It was always fresh and tasty. We went there so much that some of the staff knew us. I am missing the dumplings so much!
Had a very pleasant dinner with the family here. The staff were polite and friendly. The food is on the expensive side but the portions are relatively large. The Pipi's with XO sauce and fried rice noodles was delicious!
They recently got a new chef. Food is better than it was before. Quite average Chinese restaurant with traditional Cantonese food. Lots of car parking, but not very convenient and you have to sign in to a Leagues club to get in. Food is variable, but quite good for the most part. The service is a bit lacking, they are slow to respond and get things, and when it is busy the service suffers
Not a bad yum cha. The restaurant is located inside RSL club so if you are not from the area you need to get your ID scanned to be able to enter the premises. The restaurant is quite sizeable and they even had tanks with lobsters and abalone. We ordered the usual: char gow, rice noodles with prawns, garlic chives and prawn dumplings, spinach dumplings, chicken feet, mango pancakes. I judge yum cha places by their chicken feet and it was just ok (didn't quite like the sauce which was too sweet and no spicy flavour) but other dishes were good. Mango pancake was a bit disappointing too, probably because it's not a mango season.
Great food, beautiful decor, service is just as you would expect from a yum cha joint. It is a bit on the more expensive side but that's to be expected considering the location and everything.
Best mud crab in Sydney. Clean and tidy with good ambience. Attentive staff too.
