A very pleasant evening with friends. Although quiet this Thursday evening, the service was first class. All the staff were friendly and attentive. The food we ordered was '60's classic "Chinese" ( Cantonese) food; lemon chicken, Mongolian lamb, honey prawns, braised pork, fried rice, fortune cookies, etc. Brought back memories of my childhood. Loved it! Surprisingly, for such dated cuisine and presentation, it was excellent. The chicken was plump, soft and tasted of chicken not overpowered by the lemon. The lamb melt in the mouth with a nice balance of Hosin sauce and not overstuffed with onions. The pork soft and salty..... All the servings were generous and by request, not bought to the table all at once. Nearby a large family celebrated their 5yo son's birthday, with laughter, singing and a blue and white ice-cream cake. So lovely to able to see people together enjoying life. A really pleasant evening with friends.

The Yum Cha here is great! They offer a nice selection of dishes which are made to order. The service is fast and responsive. Beautiful seating arrangement inside.

I love trying new places for Yum Cha. I must say the ambience of this restaurant is lovely. It’s nicely decorated and presented. The wait staff are very attentive. It doesn’t have the food coming on the trolleys. You order on a piece of a4 paper and the wait staff will whisk it away to the kitchen. They’ll leave the bill thingy and mark your dishes ordered on it as soon as you receive them. The food was yummy. My pork football wasn’t hot but it was tasty. I tried a new steamed dumpling dish , it was pork with truffles, it smelled devine , but very similar to the steamed pork ones. I loved the pork spareribs, steamed rolled Rice noodle with beef, mango pancakes, and sticky rice the best. The chicken feet were a different flavour than one you normally get. It’s a little more expensive but I still think Vanh Phat in Cabramatta is the place to go!

Friendly staff and the food I'd rate a high 7/10 for the three dishes I had. I've seen this restaurant many times in the past but never walked in. It's located inside the Canterbury club in Belmore. Prices are moderate. The restaurant seat lots of people. It has the yum cha spinning disk on some tables. The one thing that took me by surprise was when I was asked if I like to pay a tip. I don't think that's appropriate and if someone pays a tip it should be there idea because they were over impressed by the food or service. This tip business is American made and we don't want to be like them. Business should pay their staff adequately so tip or no tip they are looked after.
