Yum cha has become a bit of a go to for us lately. we’ve always liked it, a lot, but nowadays it seems we are gravitating towards it more often than usual. We do love the variety it offers. We still know people who have never tried it too! If you haven’t - well, you should. Trolleys of entree sized servings of different dishes come around and you simply take al ook and say what you want. If that trolley doesn’t grab you, don’t stress. Another will be along shortly with more choices. Zilver has a good selection and the trolleys come around very regularly.
Situated conveniently inside Westfield Bondi Junction, Zilver is a contemporary Chinese restaurant to enjoy a nice lazy weekend yum cha feast. Most of the usual dumplings and other delights were available the trolleys which was pleasing. They also feature some adorable, cute dessert buns as well which were fun to try. I loved the salted egg yolk bun but the taro pearl one - the pearls were a bit too hard inside. Overall, a good dining experience.

Amazing Chinese delicacies ! 💥✨
Love the peking duck, shredded beef, crispy pork belly, and they have amazing dimsums.
Food comes around 10-20 mins.
Located in Westfield Bondi Junction in their restaurant precinct on the upper floor. Service can be direct but good nonetheless.
Started off with some steamed dumplings. Mix of vegetarian, seafood, and pork. Some were better than others.We had duck three ways which was served as a Peking Duck then as a Duck San Choy Bau then the remainder just as itself. It was all very tasty. We then got the Shantung Chicken With Pineapple (first time I’ve ever seen it served with pineapple) and also Fried Rice. There was more than enough food between us (large doggy bag required and they charge for containers for takeaway). Finished off with some steamed ‘Green Monster’ sesame buns. They were fun and quite tasty.
Overall the food is quite nice and a good dining option if you’re shopping or watching a movie within the area.
Seek for good yumcha in Sydney?!?!!!
Highly recommend come to try at Zilver Bondi then you would forget any other yumcha that you try in Sydney
Very good and tasty !!

Bursting back into Zilver Bondi three years after my last visit – yeah, okay, I don’t like shopping centres very much – it was exciting to see that this modern Chinese restaurant has continued to develop. The beautifully illustrated menu gives you an easy way to visualise dishes; and on this visit, by virtue of dining with a large and disparate group, I got to cover a lot of ground on it. We began our meal with a flood of dumplings, with most of the table descending into a frenzy of Piggy Steamed BBQ Pork Bun ($11.80/2) squeezing poses to increase their Instagram cache. Turns out cutest isn’t always best, with the ugly dumpling – a black-flecked, transparent and gelatinous Truffle King Prawn Dumpling ($9.50/4) – easily winning on flavour. While my Insta-famous table mates were busy filming stories featuring themselves seductively biting the heads off Swan Scallop and Taro Puffs ($12.80/3), I took a large bite out of a fried Hedgehog Bun ($7.80/2) only to be surprised with a sweet chocolate and red bean centre. Rookie mistake! While Zilver Bondi's lunchtime yum cha does come around on carts, there is...
In all honesty I'm usually a bit cynical of suburban yum cha offerings, preferring instead to go to Chinatown for "the real deal", but being a Bondi local (at the time) and wanting a quick fix, I decided to check this place out and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the dishes. The har gows were jumbo-sized as were the prawns in the rice noodle rolls. Price was reasonable and service was good; looking forward to my next visit.
Love yum cha at Zilver because of their creative & cute dim sum. Not just the look, they also taste delicious. There are so many varieties to choose from, would love to go back to try them all. Every dish we ordered was tasty, they were fresh & good portions. Hollow Jian dui is a must, crispy yet chewy, it’s a delicious sesame seed coated hollow donut. 😋 Salt & pepper King prawns & Chicken feet are also recommended. 👍🏻
The service was rushed and lacking - not terrible but the one in the city is definitely best. Food was fine but also very expensive for what it is
Just magnificent yum cha in Shopping Centre setting. Light on MSG, fresh and hot and super tasty. Good ambience, old Chinese biddy's serving up the grub and promptly served Tsing Taos. Whoever Zilver is they should be bloody proud 👅
A bit on the pricier side for yumcha but well worth it! We went at around 1pm on a Sunday and didn't have to wait.
🌟 What we ordered:
King prawn dumplings
Taro pies with minced chicken
Steamed pork rib
Chicken feet
BBQ pork pies
Prawn & chives dumplings
Egg tarts
I definitely recommend the taro pies (they were the best I've had in sydney!) and the BBQ pork pies. The prawn dumplings had the biggest, juciest pieces of prawn so I defs recommend :)
Delicious food, a bit pricey when you have to pay $20 extra for vermicelli noodles on top of pippies. Peking duck was perfect, really enjoyed that. The yum cha is good quality.
Quality is ok to good, pricey for what it is, the service is all over the place and the pork not much flavour, the duck was tasteless and the chicken even worst. They bring you the rice first and then the meats 20 minutes later, not on guys, you need to learn to at least bring two dishes together, what you see in the picture for lunch no wine just bear over $150, pricey.
