Been a loyal customer here. Came back during the pandemic, very confident that they sanitise well. All staff are wearing face shield and constantly use hand sanitiser, gap between patrons is so much more than 1.5m, food delivered very very hot which means straight from steamer or fryer. Downside is they dont have a lot of variety now but couldnt complain because of the situation. Great job
Gold Leaf has always been one of my favourite yum cha spots. The quality of the food has always been consistently high and I’ve loved the variety of dim sums and hot mains (and desserts too, surprisingly) they had on offer. The Burwood branch was a bit further away and the ambiance was not as nice as that of the Dockland’s, but service was just as efficient.
This place was a great yum cha hang out. We came in a group of four and the seating was comfortable and the atmosphere relaxed. The food tasted good and dessert was refreshing. We had 2 different mango type of desserts which tasted refreshing. The food was consistent in coming out so was a fun yum cha experience. Would come back when I feel like yum cha :)

In terms of the yumcha experience in Melbourne, they're mostly the same, but Gold Leaf Burwood is quite a popular option for those out in this side of the city. They do have consistency, so you know what to expect, even after a year between visits.
* Honeycomb tripe - really soft texture, easy to bite and the black bean sauce is delicious.
* Chicken Feet - similar sauce as above, the chicken feet have a good gelatinous texture.
* Xiao Long Bao - more meaty than soupy, it's packed with pork.
* Roast Pork Platter - crispy pork skin, the meat underneath can be a little dry though
* Shark fin dumpling - nice chunks of prawn inside, topped with bit of "shark fin"
* Most of the fried dumplings are more or less the same - crispy outer, whether it's a wonton skin or bean curd, stuffed with prawn paste and served with a tangy mayo.
* Baked lau sar bao - really good version of the regular runny egg yolk custard, it has a crumbly top with a soft white bun. Inside you'll find a hot, runny, buttery, egg yolk custard with a mildly salty edge. Fantastic.
Great food, service was great and we went on a busy father's day. Highly recommend! Thank you waitress Joey for constantly refilling our teapot without having to ask for it. All staff were lovely. It's hard to find good service for fast pace and busy yum cha places so thank you! 😊
Not bad for Yum Cha. The food is delicious and dumplings are big with lots of other varieties and choices.
Service although is a little slow - for 12.30pm session, you only get 1 hour which is a shame as this is probably the most popular time to have lunch. It felt very rushed.
Best option for yum cha if you are in the Eastern Suburbs. Weekends can get quite busy so make your you book ahead. Trays come out quite frequently so wait for dishes isn't too long. Service is actually quite high standard for a chinese restauarant.
Great value and nice atmosphere. We were impressed with the efficient and friendly service, drinks and tea are topped up, plates are cleared and exchanged before you even think to ask. Our waiter, Weijian, was excellent.
Food-wise the servings are very generous. I found the dumplings too large and difficult to handle without falling apart. They are about double the standard size! I was happy to see both baked and steamed sausage buns on the menu, which are not so common. Custard buns and egg tarts were both excellent, but tarts arrived luke warm. The chicken feet and pork spare ribs were very meaty compared to other venues. Bbq pork pastries were stone cold but had great flavour.
We have been meaning to try Gold Leaf after many recommendations, however, it is often booked out! We managed to get an 11am Saturday session and there was a line out the door on opening. It moved quickly and staff were directly everyone to tables with food already circling when you sat down.
Cannot remember how many times I've been there, good taste for a reasonable price. Every time thinking of Yum Chai, I'll be there. However, it is like average level in China, better than nothing, it is hard to make tjose at home though.
Service is friendly and prompt and Gold Leaf is one of my favourite places to get dim sim. Theres an array of selection and food always tastes super fresh. My favourite dish however would be the radish cakes. Crispy on the outside but then smooth on the inside.

Getting here is quite the drive for me; it's a good 1/2 hour if traffic is ok ... so I was definitely hoping it would be worth my while. And it was.
You walk into a small waiting area to be seated, and then they take you to your table and. you enter this humongous dining space. It's so huge. I think it would comfortably seat around 200+ people. With that said, however, a circular table for four can get a little hard pushed for space with all of the dishes etc.
They have a good extensive menu, attentive service and while a teeny bit overpriced, it's worth it overall. One thing I didn't LOVE was the fact there was barely a trace of alcohol in my Strawberry Daiquiri. The flavour was great, but if I got stopped by the police on the way home, I'd have been totally under the radar. The only other negative is that it was hard to watch the poor live fish in such small tanks. They can hardly move around and it looked kind of cruel.
All of the positives are the ample parking, good service, great food and they finish the night by giving you a delicious little dark orange chocolate if you feel like something sweet. Would I recommend it here? I give it a resounding Yes!
Never disappointed by Gold Leaf! There are all the high quality authentic dishes and dim sum available, freshly served to customers with trolleys. The managers and staff are all so friendly and helpful! The restaurant is spacious with comfortable seating. If you are craving for authentic Cantonese dim sum or dishes, you should come and visit!
We hadn't visited this restaurant previously and were very happy with our dining experience. Their yum Cha offerings were good, served piping hot and the service very attentive.
Great place for a get together! Nice food here as well, cannot complain. Love the ambience, classic yum cha faire and friendly staff. Would come again!
Delicious food… excellent staff… bit expensive as compared to other restaurants but worth it
Great selections, typical canton dim sum, price are good for the size of portions, book ahead so you don’t regret as they can be very busy even weekdays!
Delicious meal and great customer service! The crab is tasty and fresh! Highly recommended!
Easy parking.
