Good buffet at a fair price. Food items are hit and miss but there is a good range. Ask for Chinese tea for free. Is not very crowded on weekday nights.

Haven’t been back for a while, and things have changed quite a bit.

I’m happy it’s still around; there just isn’t much options when you have an evening craving for YumCha.

This place ticks the boxes and has great variety.
A standardised menu is available for you to choose from. 37 items available.

Unfortunately, my favourite items such as the durian puff pastry and mango pancake weren’t available.

On the plus side their volcano custard buns were on the menu.

Service was excellent (although admittedly quiet on a Tuesday) and they also were awesome enough to get me some durian pastry.

TLDR; Place delivers value for money and satisfies a yumcha craving in the evening unlike any other.

WOW such a wide variety.

Taste = equivalent to the famous Vihn Phat in Cabra 💕

Got the $39 (incl seafood) dinner all you can eat, worth it if you’re starving or celebrating an occasion. You’ll definitely eat your moneys worth.

The ambience of the place is clean, open, spacious and modern. The staff are friendly and there’s a carpark underneath. Worth a try 👍🏻

Favs:
✨all the yum cha options
✨Mango pancake
✨Pipi in XO sauce
✨sweet corn soup
✨sweet ass watermelon

Massive shout out to whoever thought of an all you can eat Yum Cha.
Their menu ranges from the generic dumplings, chicken feet, and mango pancakes. To hot chips and fried chicken.

Went in for the buffet at night, get in early if without booking as it fills up quickly. Food kept running out during peak meal time especially the dessert section with mango pancakes and mango pudding being very popular but not enough to supply the demand.

Yumcha items had a variety of around 15 Steamed dishes (which could've been labelled), 10 fried dishes, and a variety of hot dishes. Fresh prawns were a good addition to the menu. Quality of food is generally good with some steamed items being a miss.

Staff behind food counters were awkward at times when it was confusing if they served the food or we just take it ourselves. Payment for the meal was collected midway where staff comes around with the bill to your table. Drinks are put on a separate bill which staff again brings over (we ordered drinks twice so we had 3 bills in total - it might be more efficient to pay for everything at once?)

After reading a ton of disappointing reviews about this place I felt rather weary but decided to give it a chance anyway. I was with a party of eight on a Saturday night, we had previously made a booking and were promptly seated at our allotted time.

The selection was a lot larger than I thought but the quality and taste were very hit or miss. The stand outs were prawn hargow, dim sims and mango pancakes. It felt as though most dishes were cooked fresh as opposed to some of the other reviews I've read, perhaps maybe because it was a busy night and the food was being replenished frequently.

Be mindful of when you order drinks and ask for your receipts at all times. Staff will ask you to pay later and approach you for payment at random times throughout your stay.

Overall it was an okay experience, we definitely ate our money's worth. I'd recommend for everyone to try this place at least once and decide for yourselves. Personally would not come running back any time soon but it's nowhere near as bad as some of the reviews have made it out to be.

All you can eat yum cha after 5 pm everyday for $35, what’s not to love about it? Unlike other all you can eat yum cha location, chef dynasty includes a wide selection of yum cha dishes which is great!!!

Loved that this place has yum cha in the evenings and all you can eat too! Really enjoyed the flavoursome food! Service was excellent. Staff took real care in serving up the food. Was clean even though the decor was simple.
The best part was that the food trolleys kept coming so you wont be starving like most busy yum cha places.
Plenty of free underground parking.

I like this place. Finally there is a good yum cha all you can eat at night! Service is good considering they're working 100 miles per hour and food is good. 35 dollars all you can eat daily after 5.3pm.

Place looks nice too.

Originally lured in by the $35 all you eat yum cha (which I learned later) is only available from 5pm. It's a great and varied selection. The staff in the morning quite friendlier than expecting and it's a large space that caters to big groups and functions. Worth a try as Chinese and Yum Cha are rare finds out this way....

All you can eat yumcha $35pp. Yum!! I walked through the doors and expected this place to be average. Most places with the all you can eat concept never satisfies me. The four of us came in at 9pm to see that most people have finished eating by now. That meant that we had 5 people serving us at once. Food was quite good and the chicken feet didn't disappoint. Staff were helpful however the lady kept lingering around our table which was a little unsettling. Aside from this, I do recommend.

All you can eat ninja!!

Came here for the $35pp all you can eat YUMCHA! Only available for dinner, its on 7 nights a week. Great deal if you are a big eater .. Not a large selection but ample for the normal yumcha menu.

Heaps of space and heaps of parking, located inside Little saigon Plaza.

Well worth the money, avoid the carbs to fit more food hahahaa

Until next time .... Keep eating!!

I've been here twice, once for yum Cha and once for dinner. Nice decor and clean. The prices are a little dear but still reasonable as the good is pretty nice.

Chef's Dynasty is one of the better (even best?) Yum Cha's we've been to. Their food isn't too oily and well presented in comparison to other places. We generally liked most of the dishes and will definitely come back soon!
Upon our second visit here we came for dinner. Again, food was well received and presented and contributed to the overall pleasant dining experience.

Delicious dim sum!!!!! Went there with mum and a family friend as I had one of those cravings; we ordered the usual no brainer ( har kow, siu mai etc) and everything's fresh.

As we came earlier in the morning on the Queens Birthday, the line started later than usual. Service is pretty good, the ladies would come pretty often with the carts of steaming goodness)

Great value for money; for the items u see on the photos and pu er tea; all came to $52. Will be back again, hopefully with a bigger crowd next time so we can try more items.

Yum cha is a cuisine that I crave from time to time, but then am satisfied for the next year once I have it. The last time I went out for yum cha was last year, meaning it was about time to go again so when my parents suggested that we check out a new local yum cha place, I happily agreed. We arrived on a Saturday morning and were seated immediately. The restaurant also doubles as a function venue so it is very spacious.

In typical yum cha style, trolleys of food were wheeled by our table and we pointed and picked the dishes that we wanted to eat. Some dishes we chose were yum cha classics that we always order, others were foreign dishes that we hadn't tried before.

In the end, the classics won the day. The dim sims and dumplings were tastier than the deep-fried seafood that we ordered. Perhaps it was due to the oil factor (that is, the lack thereof) or our greater familiarity with the dumplings, but we all preferred the steamed food and easily finished them off. The deep-fried food wasn't moreish at all, despite being crunchy and small in size - usually perfect snacking morsel properties.

We ordered about 7-8 dishes in total between the four of us and it came to a fairly modest price. Overall, Chef's Dynasty fills an obvious void in Bankstown's dining scene but it is more or less your average yum cha restaurant.

Tonight me and my old man decided to try out the new modern Chinese restaurant in bankstown.

Service was excellent with friendly staff, while the food was quick to come out once ordered. The presentation of the food was sublime and two dishes was just enough for two hungry men : )

Now let's get down to business shall we... The taste of the food was delicious and I will gladly come back. Though my only complaint for this place, would be the price of these dishes. Dinner cost $60 for two people.. Though if you come on Tuesday nights, they have a 30% discount off your bill! Now that's value 😋 they have specials on every weekday, so be sure to ask what's on special that day. Tonight was lobster and crab, but for two people it's not enjoyable in my opinion, you need 4+ so you can order other dishes to enjoy.

Overall it's a pretty solid place to go, as good as iron chef 👍🏼

New Chinese restaurant in Bankstown.

Environment: was a bit loud because half the place had concrete flooring and the other half had carpet (perhaps they were trying a hipster warehouse look?). Otherwise clean and professional.

Very very friendly organized staff.

Food was good. The duck with taro was a strange combination for me. The ribs were nice as always. The rice with scallops and fish roe was a delight.

We went on a Tuesday night and had 30% off the bill! Otherwise it would be on the upper end of price range.

They included complementary simple dessert at the end. Watermelon, oranges, sweet soup with red bean, biscuits.

The environment makes it a family restaurant. Not really a place for a first date.

I went there with family of 10 and its special of 30% off whole bill.
I think value and food are good and acceptable!
Defiantly will come again
Worse part is lack of waiters and they forgot one of our dish. Also no house soup.

Went first for dinner and the food was excellent!Seafood is fresh and all the dishes we ordered was very good. Restaurant looks super nice too.
I also went to have yum cha here with friends over the weekend. There is a lot of variety and dishes available. All the dumplings was also fresh and the Hagow tasted like they had fresh prawns and not frozen which was really good. Will definitely be back many many more times!!!

I've been here for both Yum cha and dinner and thoroughly enjoyed both with my fam. The chicken feet was a bit of a miss for me, but I did enjoy the thousand egg congee, prawn rice noodle, taro puff (?), har gow, and scallop dim sim. The more memorable dishes for dinner would have to be crab with vermicelli, pork chop in plum sauce, pepper fried tofu and amazing amazing sizzling beef with wasabi mayo!!

Came in for yumcha on a Saturday morning. We had a large group and we were served quickly but I think that might be due to my wife's uncle knowing the owner. Normally we have to wait ages for a cart to come by but today was fine. Food tasted fresh today, chicken feet was the highlight.

Yum cha items weren't too bad. Not many people at yum cha on a weekday post covid. Minimal staff working which is understandable in these times but it took way too long to order another soft drink and it was pretty hot in the restaurant likely because they just opened and needed time for the air con to cool the room down.

Really good yum cha, service is fast and friendly, even when we went with two young kids the staff were very welcoming. Not the cheapest, but the food is good. Especially loved their Taro Sago dessert, which we have never seen at other yum cha restaurants.

Tried the yum cha here for the third time, first time was good, the second time was horrible, and the third time was excellent. I think that the food has become better over time. The hargao was so fresh, one of the best I’ve had. Service was good but we had to wait for our tea to be refilled. The servers are friendly . The price was good too.
