Review Landmark Restaurant - Brisbane

Landmark Chinese restaurant is a little hard to find as it’s located on the top floor (roof level) of the shopping center but it’s well worth the hunt. Restaurant is very big and can seat many hundred people, but it gets full for most meals so be sure to book to avoid missing out on getting a table. There is an extensive range of food from traditional Chinese dishes to fresh seafood. We ate at dinner time and had a range of dishes all of which were beautiful. One of the best Chinese meals in Brisbane without doubt. The beer was cold and also cheap compared to most restaurants. The service was excellent

It is uncommon to find DIMSUM for lunch on an ordinary day, my lucky day to find Landmark while shopping in Chermside Mall. Dim sum dishes assortment of seafood, meat, and vegetable dishes that are prepared in various ways: steamed, fried, or baked. Landmark has a list of some of the most popular dishes. To get you started a complimentary pot of Jasmine tea was served while choosing from the menu. Shrimp dumpling is one of the most popular dishes at dim sum, these are chunks of shrimp encased in a thin translucent dumpling wrapper and served in a bamboo steamer. Shanghai dumplings soup are delicate items filled with hot broth and pork and are served in a bamboo steamer, these are originally from Shanghai. Chicken feet were braised in a rich, slightly sweet fermented black bean sauce until tender, very delicious.

Finally got a legit Peking duck although not the best. Other dishes are cooked well as well. Service can be improved though.

Bit more pricey than other Chinese restaurants but it is definitely worth it! I melted when I tried the crispy skin duck and the seafood chow run quality of seafood was divine! Food is definitely great quality. Probably would make sure that the 2 seater tables wouldn’t face each other as it gets a bit awkward when you sit and look at the 2 seater section and you’re all facing each other eating

This joint slaps hard!!!!! The most delicious yum cha I’ve had. Top 3 from Melbourne to Brisbane. Highly recommended if your a yumcha fan

The restaurant was very busy when I was there, the foods sooo yummy and reasonable price, I be back for sure

Authentic yum cha, but got overcharged for sauces! Seriously?! The only "serving" (saving) grace was the shrimp Cheong Fun (rice noodle rolls). The Char Siu Sou (barbequed pork pastry puffs) was a definite let down. The pastry skin didn't seem too flaky and rich with a hint of unfreshness to it but the Char Siu filling was alright.

I wished there was zero stars so I could give a more accurate review about how I feel about this place. My child came in with a bubble tea and the man in charge wanted to take it away, we explained it was a child and for covid reasons and food handling we didn’t want to put it in one of their fridges. We were going to order 3 meals and 3 drinks but he preferred to kicked us out of the restaurant and screaming at us when I tried to have a civilised conversation and explained it was a child and I was happy to pay for another drink etc. I was never treated that way, incredibly aggressive. What was supposed to be a great 1-1 time with my daughter turned out to be such a bad experience. Never going back

Firstly, entree of spring rolls were tasty however salt n pepper squid was too salty and too much batter. There was 4 of us and my main meal arrived, but my three friends waited for their mains for at least 15 minute intervals. Unimpressed with satay chicken, duck dish and Mongolian lamb. <br/>The live fish in foyer upset me. Tank's florescent light was faulty "strobing" and there were too many large fish crammed into a small tank. Yes...they're fish but it's extremely cruel and even a fish can look miserable, which was the case with these poor creatures. Would not recommend.

The worst customer service I have ever had! We had been waiting for at least 5 minutes until the staff came to us. We went to so many yum cha restaurants, the staffs alway walked to us with dim sums when we sat down. But we kept waiting for service here. Only two ladies were really nice and patient. It seemed that we were invisible to other staffs. Even the food has good taste, I think I will not come back again. I don’t really recommend this restaurant.

We walked around the food area and received drink vouchers from a lady saying that we can have a free soft drink for each person. When we stepped upstairs we waited for three minutes until someone came and lead us in (the restaurant was not busy at that time). When we presented the voucher, the staff said we can only have one can for the whole table. We sat there for another five minutes when another staff finally came to us. The food was good and tasty, but the service was slow and inefficient, and we found some rude staff. Actually, only two ladies were nice and kind, but the rest (including the manager) were...we probably wound not come back again. What a shame for the tasty food.

We love yum cha. We are Definately are yum cha eating family. We really enjoy going to landmark in sunny bank so was very excited to try landmark in Cher side. We werent disappointed. Excellent service. Very polite. We found the food here were better quality and fresher.

My boyfriend and I went for dinner at 7 pm on a Saturday night - it was crazy busy inside but the atmosphere was great and the whole place was nicely decorated <br/>We had one of the banquets and the food was really nice. The chicken & sweet corn soup was lovely and the spring rolls etc were nice too. For mains we had sweet & sour pork and Mongolian beef - these were both really nice and fresh too. There was a moderate delay with our Mongolian beef but other than that the service was pretty good. <br/>Found the servers to be impersonal but efficient and took that to be cultural rather than them being rude. <br/>Overall had a really positive experience and would definitely go back. For clarity, our score is 3.5 / 5.

We usually drive to Yumcha Cuisine in Gardencity. However, when a friend told me that Landmark had opened in Chermside the 15 minute drive was definitely worth it.<br/><br/>Landmark upholds it more traditional style, the food is tasty and seems hand prepared. We found this especially noticeable with the prawn in rice noodle sheets, where the sheets are silken thin, rather than the thicker chewier ones at Yumcha Cuisine. We'll be back.

Echoing the general consensus from the reviews of this place, terrible service!. My partner and I ate here during the week, we were sat down and looked around to see what other people were eating, and we couldn’t find any of their dishes in our menu, when we asked a waiter where these dishes were in the menu he said that there was a page missing from ours.. after a long pause we said can we get another menu then??, as if he wanted us to just use our menu as is. After we ordered our mains we noticed that we hadn’t received a drinks menu. We asked a waitress if they had a drinks menu there and she just said yes they did, after another long pause we had to ask if we could see it??... as if it wasn’t obvious. Manager looked bored and uninterested when we paid the bill, not a smile in sight. I’ve been to many large Chinese restaurants in Brisbane where the service is excellent, sadly this isn’t one of those places, won’t be returning, I’ll be taking my business next door to kinn derm.

Visited this place for a relatively late lunch around 2:20pm. It was very quiet and service was good. Not sure how it would be around noon or at evening. We started with Chinese jasmine tea which was great. Not too many healthy vegetarian options were available but there were enough options for a light lunch.

Good yum cha selection available which consistently tastes great, service can be slow at times but is ok considering how busy this place always is. We choose to visit more regularly over the other local yum chas in north Brisbane. Ambience and decor is more tasteful than other yum cha restaurants.

Beautiful interior, average service. <br/><br/>Food was alright for Brisbane but nothing compared to Melbourne or Sydney in terms of taste and quality. It was definitely freshly cooked which was the one major positive.

This popular institution delivers. Attentive service and fresh, delicious food. The serving sizes are generous and the prices are very reasonable.

Very average food. Dishes seemed have a really gelatinous texture and the flavours were not pleasant. Good service though - staff were very helpful. Would not return.

Went here for an early Father's Day lunch with the family, whereby we were fortunate to secure a table on the terrace without a reservation.<br/><br/>We were promptly seated, given menus and a pot of hot tea.<br/>We ordered a half duck to share, which they had fore-warned us that it would take 15 minutes. The duck was succulent, meaty and crispy skinned.<br/>Otherwise, we sat back and welcomed the yum cha experience - carts of tasty plates of food wheeled around and around. We had a good experience on this day as we were presented with various different carts.<br/><br/>Despite the other reviews, service was quite reasonable during our visit and someone would come to our table regularly to see how we were doing and to clear empty plates. Casual ambience. Reasonable prices.<br/><br/>Overall, a reasonable yum cha option in Chermside.

Terrible service, as if you were made to feel a nuisance. The manager had all the charm of a slab of concrete. If you want slack service and high prices this place is for you.

Service is non existent - why open to provide poor service ? Wasn't even a busy night and service was so bad we walked out and spent money at kinn and derm. Go anywhere but here . <br/>

Food is good (not exceptional but good) and definitely authentic cantonese here. Brisbane has a lot of poor quality Chinese restaurants charging crazy prices ( unfortunately a lot of them say they serve "cantonese" food but they do not. ). I go here regularly as their steamed fish and peking duck are one of the best.

I was so excited to see that Landmark restaurant had opened in Chermside as good Chinese food is hard to find in the northern suburbs, but after our Chinese New Year Banquet at Landmark yesterday, I am bitterly disappointed as it was far from the standard of the Sunnybank restaurant. As has been mentioned by other reviewers, the service was poor, with staff frantically running around looking flustered when the restaurant was not even full. It was just plain difficult to get the attention of most of the surly staff, even to take away dirty plates and glasses which remained at our table until after we left. The meal took 3 hours in total as there were long breaks between the appetizer and mains, then the dessert. Then to make matters worse, the wait staff tried to rush us out at the end while we were eating our dessert, indicating that the next booking was waiting. It would have helped if the restaurant actually opened by our booking time of 5:30pm and food had been served promptly. The food itself was just of average quality and not particularly special despite it supposedly being a Chinese New Year menu. Not worth the high price tag. No dragon/lion dancing either so we would have been better off just having a normal banquet which would have been half the price.

I took my cousin here for Yum Cha as she was visiting from overseas. It was a short wait thankfully, as previously we had been to Sunnybank location and loved the food there. The service here in Chermside is appalling! My cousin and I both walked up to select what food we wanted from the food station, and to our astonishment we returned to see a female staff member clearing our table without asking if we were finished. Staff members we aware of what was happening and instead of apologising were were laughed at. No apology was given whatsoever. I will not ever return here after this experience and I would not recommend going there because of the poor customer service and rude behaviour I had experienced. Go to Sunnybank location, the food is wonderful and staff are friendly.

Had birthday dinner with the man last night, and we had the Banquet A. The amount of food for the money was great, we couldn’t finish it all so they packed the leftovers up for us. The sweet and sour pork was amazing, and the Mongolian lamb was delicious. No complaints at all, the service was great and we had an amazing night.

My worst yum cha experience. The wait on our food and lack of communication of the staff was an unpleasant experience overall. We waited for our chicken feet, which was too sweet for our liking. I waited and asked three times on the update for our soy sauce chicken. After having waited and being ignored, we decided to cancel our order and pay for what we ate. Customer service needs work.

Food was alright. Service was deplorable - had to go up to the main counter a few times. Left eventually after having received only half of what we ordered.

pretty expensive for such basic flavored dishes. Not a bad place to eat but certainly not the best Chinese. The food came out quickly and it was a nice place to sit. I wouldn't say I'll be going back as they were pretty expensive dishes for such basic flavors.

Be aware: they are CLOSED 3:30-5:30 which is not mentioned. As for food it is really good here and it is an excellent yum cha experience if you’re a first timer. Take it all in - staff rush around and do not engage with too much language pleasantries, instead, they display good service by hurrying to refill your teapot asap. Pretty much all staff can speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin. Vegetarians can order vegetable dumplings as they are not usually on the trolleys. Eva and the other young man (sorry can’t remember name!) - special mention for being really attentive and helpful with requests. Eva jumped in to rescue a fellow trainee and help me with an order. Sometimes they are a little inconsistent with putting chili and soy sauce on tables. Dumplings are usually quite fresh and there’s a good range and variety. Dinner service has a great menu also and the roast duck is pretty good. All in all, it is the best yum cha and Chinese restaurant on the north side.

Terrible service. Large family dinner, dishes came out one by one which wasn’t great for how share meals are meant to be eaten. After waiting 1.5 hours from when we ordered, we were still waiting on 3 more dishes to come. We decided to cancel the remaining meals and leave as we overheard the staff turning away new patrons due to wait for food being 2+hours. They should have more chefs on if they were going to decide to open on Christmas Eve.

Went her 2 weeks ago and it was ok. Went back there today and we were given a seat, in the non Asian patrons side of the restaurant. The Asian patrons side of the restaurant got served with trolleys of food that then went back to the kitchen. After observing this for 10 minutes, and the table next to us complaining to a waiter, that we were all on this side, still waiting for food, we waited a further 5 minutes and got up and left. Ended up eating at a Thai restaurant down stairs called Kinn+Derm. This place was the best!! Really nice, glad that the Landmark didn’t work out and we found this place instead.

Absolutely loved this place! Although the food was delicious and the cocktails delightful, the outstanding factor was by far the service. My boyfriend and I went there for dinner and we were so well attended. The staff were efficient and funny and took the experience to the next level. Will definitely be making this place a usual spot for date night.

Went here for dinner on a Sunday night couple of weeks ago. Food was a bit more expensive than Sunnybank even with the 15% discount, but still good.

November 2019: presuming there’s new management because the quality of food and service has improved so much so that I’m giving 5* to this yum cha. We’ve been back in the last two months three times, twice for yum cha and once tonight for dinner. Yum cha is clean and fresh with great flavours. They cook to order even if what you order is going around on a cart. We have ordered a barramundi with ginger and shallot. Good size fish at reasonable market price. Such good flavour and cooked to perfection. Combination tofu hot pot had so much meat in it and great sized prawns. No MSG aftertaste this time. Will keep coming back now. <br/><br/>January 2018 review update: what started out as a decent Yum Cha placed has turned a bit sour. The service pace hasn't improved unless you go there when it's a quiet night and then you'll get your food quite quick and have the attention of the staff. Meals are expensive and are made for sharing in bigger groups. Two different groups of people (a couple and then a mother and two kids) walked out when we were there after they'd sat and reviewed the menu. Presumably because they don't offer simple a la carte meals. You have to order big (expensive) dishes and then get rice separately and then vegetables separate again. It ends up being $80 for two easily. That may give you left overs but it's not very convenient price or variety wise. If they moved towards easier single meals such a pork with rice and veggies, they might see more customers come through. From there they just need to improve cooking times when it's busy (and avoid using MSG!!), check on customer water/tea and have carts coming around more often on Yum Cha days. Also this isn't a cheap Yum Cha. Turns out to be roughly $7-8/dish and if we order during Yum Cha service there can be a long wait to the point we've left without getting the food we ordered. Suncrop Yum Cha in the Valley is all you can eat - a better option if you are penny pinching.<br/><br/>September 2017 review: 15% off in September! Yum! Great fresh food! Just as good (maybe better?) than the Sunnybank one. Only thing lacking was waiter service in cleaning dishes - it ended up the manager was doing it. And sometimes the girls with the carts skip you when you're out of food 😂 come back lady! Love that we have a decent local Yum Cha!!

I had a lovely meal with my friend Royce at the Landmark Chermside. <br/>Great customer service ,beautiful and warm interior design. We had sizzling Mongolian lamb, Kongpao Chicken, scallop dumplings and prawn dumplings. All the cuisines are delicious. Forgot to take pics this time but definitely will come back. <br/>Plus the manager's signature cocktails are recommended:) <br/>- with Royce Cleaver

Had yumcha there over the weekend. Every dish was on point for me until the last dish which is the rice roll with friend bread sticks.<br/><br/>A little pricier than ones in sunnybank but worth the quality of the food and service. <br/><br/>My new favourite yumcha in Brisbane. <br/><br/>They are doing 15% discount till end of September.<br/><br/>
