I took my family here last night for dinner and the service was the best that I have had for a long time. The waiter and the server were totally awesome and professional. We ordered pipi's, lobster, fried rice and an assortment of appetisers... I could not fault the preparation of the food as it was amazingly delicious. The time frame that we waited for our food was incredibly quick. From the time we sat down to the time that our table was full of food, not even 20 minutes had passed... This is a resturaunt that I would not hesitate to recommend for anybody looking for an all around excellent cuisine to go to and enjoy the finest of seafoods. Thank you Alan and staff for a totally beautiful experience... Rick (Captain) and Family...

I have been to this restaurant 3 times a week ever since this place has opened. I am an extreme seafood eater. I have eaten at every seafood restaurant in sydney. Royal Treasure seafood restaurant is by far the best out there. The service is great the food is beautiful and it has been consistent every time. I highly recommend this seafood restaurant.

Long queue lines but one of the best yum cha places in Sydney. Sometimes the staff will take orders but again expect a while to get your dish.
Sometimes the dishes I like are not made.
Good place for yum cha when your not in a rush.
Would recommend and I would come back.

Very good yum cha in a new full-sized Chinese seafood restaurant.  They have all the classic yum cha dishes.  A plate of pippies was excellent and very reasonably priced.  I'm not sure if that's a weekday special.

I went with a group of 7 from work at lunch on Friday and were seated right away.  I'm not a chicken feet fan, but the lone afficianado at the table raved about them.  

Other reviews mentioned about the cart ladies being grumpy, but they were courteous, albeit a little pushy.

Definitely will go back.

Couldn’t love this place more! The food variety is great with lots of dim sums and they are all very nice too. Particularly the triples and tendons.
The food is not as oily or salty as other yum Cha places.

Staff in general are nice. Except for one manager who never smiles and pushes people to the door when they are preparing to close.

Really solid yum cha place for large groups. Went as a group of 8 on Sunday and I'm so glad we made a booking because there were so many people waiting outside for a table. It was around $240 for 8 people which is fair. The food was so yummy, there were so many options and I would go back again 😊

Service is amazing! The staff are attentive and although at times may seem abrupt, it's only because they want to ensure we enjoy the food and are very prompt with serving. Would visit again.

Thanks for the meal!

Had yum cha!

Decent food to be had here with excellent service despite the mother day rush. Particularly enjoyed the chicken feet with its salty black bean flavours.!

[4.5/5] Royal Treasure Seafood restaurant is located in the newly Emerald Square. The yumcha restaurant is clean and looks quite new, offering a lot of variety of dishes. I liked the deep-fried pumpkin shaped dim sum which is to resemble ham sui gok (deep-fried glutinous dumpling) and of course all the yumcha favourites were delicious and fresh. There is a discount on weekdays so if you’re not working on a weekday be sure to go!

We were also lucky enough to try their Winter dinner hot pot special which comprised of: lamb stew, herbal medicine with free range chicken and tooth fish with noodles. My favourite was actually the tooth fish with noodles as the fish was delicate and the broth had a nice depth of flavour.

Thanks for organising @sydneyfoodfeels and @royaltreasureburwood x @lotusmarketingpr for the invite.

Great yum cha venue that is popular with the locals. Has all the standard har gow, siu mai etc, as well as some dishes like the salty egg custard buns and desserts that I have not seen at other places. Service is good and I didn't have any issues ordering even though I don't speak Chinese.

Have been here for dinner too and their soups are good value. Have tried herbal chicken, toothfish & lamb stew.

Tip: it gets packed out after 11am, so try and go before then.

A beautiful venue in Burwood that offers an amazing yum cha experience and a great dinner menu including seasonal hotpot.

I’d highly recommend going twice, for the yum cha and come back with a group for their hot pots.

Really loved this place and the staff are so friendly too.

+3 standard starting points for food
+2 the highest quality dim sum around
5. Best. Yumcha. In. Sydney.

There! I said it. See below for an English/Chinese list of my favourites. (also helps me remember how to order what I like)

The deep fried stuff is super crispy, not a soggy surface to be found. The marinades are on point and the meat is cooked to exactly the way it should be. Dumplings and meatballs are juicy and the sweets are so good. In terms of “true to it’s origins” I think it really hits the mark.

The bad:
I didn’t deduct points for the things other reviews have mentioned (which are valid complaints) because I’m cantonese and having to yell and flap to flag down yumcha waitstaff to repeat your order is basically part of the culture. I don’t enjoy it either but I accept it because of that sweet sweet dimsum goodness.

If you value service then try pheonix (not as good food) or a yumcha spot in the city (much pricier)

As for the language barrier, I would recommend you remember a few of the standard types of dim sum you know you’ll want to eat. For a start:

糯米雞 sounds like “law mai gai”
Sticky rice and fillings usually include chicken, mushroom, preserved duck egg yolk wrapped in leaves.

蘿蔔糕 sounds like “lo bak go”
Savoury radish cakes

虾饺 sounds like “haa gaow”
Prawns dumplings

叉烧包 sounds like “char siu bao”
Sweet BBQ pork in a fluffy bun

鳳爪 sounds like “fung zhao”
Chicken feet, deep fried then softened in a sweet black bean sauce

肠粉 sounds like “cheung fun”
Beef or prawn wrapped in rice noodle rolls

排骨 sounds like “pai gwut”
Pork ribs in black bean sauce

燒賣 sounds like “siu mai”
Pork mince in wonton parcels

馬來糕 sounds like “ma lai go”
Sweet steamed sponge cake. Eggy.

蛋撻 sounds like “dan tat”
Egg tarts.

We came here for yum cha at around 11:30am on Sat and the place was already very busy with a lot of big groups waiting for a table at the entrance. We were lucky they still had a corner table for 2 available. So we got seated straight away. We had the typical dim sums, pork ribs, siew mai, beef tripes etc, and a special scallop prawn dumpling. They were all delicious - the restaurant is generous with the seafood. The egg tarts were delicious too with a very crispy crust. Wouldn’t order the larva buns next time as the skin was a bit too thick.

The service was prompt and typical for a Cantonese restaurant. Minus one star for getting a table at the corner that most trolleys don’t reach. Ericson Chow

Recommended by one of our asian friend for yumcha. This is by far the best yum cha i have had in sydney. The variety this place offers in fried and steamed yum cha is amazing. Steamed Prawn and garlic chive and pork pastries is a must try.
We visited this restaurant on a busy saturday afternoon. After 15 mins of waiting we got a seat. The place was packed with people. The que never seemed to end.
I am reluctant to give a 5 star review due to poor service on weekends. Recommend to hire more servers to cater the big weekend crowd. We had to raise our hand and call out everytime to get served .

This restaurant is one of my favourite spots for Yum Cha as the food quality is very nice and price is affordable. The service is ok but not the best, which is expected from most Yum Cha restaurants. Definitely would recommend visiting here.

Came here for yum cha on a weekday. We didn't have to wait but it was close to a full house. The steamed dumplings were pretty good, some of their deep fried dishes like the football and the dough in the rice noodle were fried too hard and difficult to eat. However the ruby shape fried dough were so fluffy and really addictive - would recommend! Finally a good local yum cha!

I was a bit reluctant when suggested to have dinner at this restaurant after having not so good experience of their yum cha. However, I was glad I was open to the idea and had dinner there.
Their dinner was excellent. Good variety of options. It is now our regular place for birthdays.

We visited this restaurant as it was our dad’s birthday and his only request was it be a Chinese restaurant that served lobster! Situated within the newish development of Emerald Square, it is located on the upper level. We arrived and the restaurant was at capacity even on a Sunday night. Even throughout the night the tables were turned over and new customers were constantly seated. The service did not suffer at all and we were taken care of.

Our parents ordered off the menu. The highlights included the aforementioned Lobster dish which was served on a bed of noodles. This went down well with the table. The Shantung Chicken had the delicious vinegary sauce surrounding the crispy chicken.

Overall a lovely Chinese restaurant offering a more upscale dining experience within Burwood.

Came here on Easter Day for a family dinner, here are my thoughts
1. The service is top notch, waiters are polite and nothing was an issue, they even asked kids to be seated in a certain area as they dedicated a space for the delivery of the food
2. The food is great, there is discount on a variety of seafood. The highlight is the crispy chicken and stir fried milk
3. We brought in cake that we brought from a nearby Taiwanese shop and they were happy to let us eat it
4. We asked for a family picture and the waiter actually came back to take it, whereas other restaurants they totally forget, can’t be bothered or do it out of frustration cos your the customer

A very good experience and will definitely come back, be warned this place is super busy so bookings 1-2 weeks in advance is a must

Royal Treasure is a Yum Cha eatery located in Burwood. I absolutely am falling in love with Burwood when it comes to delicious and reasonably priced food. I head to Royal Treasure for a Sunday yum cha with Matt. Royal Treasure is located in Burwood nearby the bus station which is outside of the Westfield.  I arrive at 10am when Royal Treasure opens on Sundays because I've walked past before where I've seen an EPIC line. It's also easier to get parking in Burwood so I think it was a good idea to get there earlier.

Wondering what to do on the weekend? The one thing that comes to our mind is catching up with family or friends over yum cha. We absolutely love yum cha! It's such a great way to enjoy a long brunch and they are generally more than happy to cater for you, so long as you are still ordering!. We usually have yum cha at Vinh Phat or Iron Chef in Cabramatta however, we decided to venture off to explore Burwood to a place called Royal Treasure Seafood Restaurant. The name is definitely a mouthful, but as we soon found out it was a mouthful of flavour. We have heard from many that this yum cha spot was the place to try, so we couldn't resist.

Theres no long wait for the food and theres so much variety for how to cook the crab. The restaurant gets quite busy but the staff are very friendly. Because we had a large group we were able to book one of the VIP rooms. The room has a karaoke machine, which you can pick a range of songs or you can even watch a movie, which was good for the kids. Overall I would definitely go back, the service was good and the food quality was excellent.

Rating here is for Yum Cha as I have not dined here at night. The wait for a table is not too bad on a week day with a big seating area at the front to enable you to wait for your number to be called.

The food here is always fresh and has plenty of choice of your usual dim sum classics. They also have a number specialties that could be ordered like the beef and rice noodle rolls which is also excellent. The dim sum ladies are bi-lingual and come around often with their steaming hot baskets.

Yum Cha is my happy place. What could be better than sitting down and then immediately being presented with array of amazing traditional Hong Kong cuisine. Yum Cha is an ideal Sunday brunch for me and Royal Treasure Seafood Restaurant in Burwood was a delightful place to get my fix. The spacious dining room was abuzz with conversation when we arrived, and as we were seated, we were greeted by snappy waiters and waitresses pushing the trolleys of goodness, eager to feed us. And we were eager to eat.

We ordered all the usual favourites: sui mai (pork dumplings), prawn dumplings, spring rolls, rice noodle rolls, deep fried dumplings, calamari, Peking duck, veggies, desserts and more. Did we go overboard? Yes. Did we regret it? Absolutely not.

The food was great. It was everything good Yum Cha food should be and exceeded expectations at times too. The various dumpling dishes we received were all fresh and steaming hot, juicy when you bit into it, bursting full of flavour. It’s safe to say I have had my fair share of dumplings and buns in my food adventures, and the ones we sampled at Royal Treasure definitely measured up. One of my personal favourite Yum Cha dishes is beef “cheong fun” or rice noodle roll, which is beef wrapped in long strips of rice noodle and drenched in a sweet soy sauce. I could honestly spend a whole Yum Cha session feasting on just different varieties of cheong fun, so I was so glad when Royal Treasure’s version was delicious and super addictive. I’m also a big believer in ordering some steamed Chinese broccoli to balance out all the dumplings and deep fried goodies -- the Chinese broccoli we had were fresh and crunchy and served with a generous helping of tasty oyster sauce. It made getting our daily servings of veggies very easy.

Dessert was equally as fantastic. We got black sesame rolls, which was a first for me, but I’m glad we gave this more unusual item a try as it was beautiful. They were essentially rolls of black sesame jelly and wasn’t something I had really seen before but I will definitely be back for this. They had a soft, slightly chewy texture and the gorgeous sweet and nutty flavour of black sesame. We also opted for of course the classic egg tart -- one of the greatest food inventions in my opinions. Royal Treasure’s egg tarts came out warm, with buttery, flaky, melt-in-your-mouth pastry and impossibly creamy custard egg filling. They were divine and everything the perfect egg tart should be.

Royal Treasure is a wonderful Yum Cha destination. The food is beautiful and the staff are efficient and friendly. The restaurant is conveniently located near Burwood train station and is part of a brand new dining precinct in the area. The restaurant is bright and clean, and the atmosphere is a bit chaotic but isn’t that really a sign of good Yum Cha? Come here for lunch and try as much as you can as I truly enjoyed my experience at Royal Treasure.

Headed to the new Royal Treasure Seafood restaurant in Emerald Square for yumcha one morning. I was quite surprised with their low review as I found the service was good as well as the food. More variety of dimsum came out as the morning progresses. My fav was the fried rice roll with sesame and sweet sauce, BBQ puffs and black sesame balls. The sui Mai and fan guo though were not up to standard. I was also not very impressed with the host asking whether we intend to tip when I paid for the bill.

Yummy yum cha. But the menu is limited and some of the dishes the waiters take around is unfamiliar and few are bound to be bad choices (also staff not very fluent in English). Anyway I enjoyed having lunch here with my companion.

My experience has changed. My dad likes this place and the yum cha is better here now and you will notice the
Size of the dumplings bigger than the other place in Burwood. I guess that’s why there is a line here. Dinner wise been here a few more times and it’s a lot better. This place is also a lot more cleaner than the other yum cha place,I’m converted now

2017 The Yum Cha and Dinner review for Royal Treasure Seafood

You know what I find stupid with finding Royal Treasure? There is only one escalator up and one down,both on the other end of the building from each other! The quickest way to get here is to run up the escalator that's going the wrong way! Otherwise you have to walk on the other side of the building to go up the elevator

Enough about getting there the yum Cha here is to standard but nothing stood out. Sum of the dumplings skin was really sticky,sticking to anything it touches including my plate

The range seemed to be slightly less that other places

The venue here is huge!

Dinner time,found the food to be average. No dishes stood out. And none I would re order in future apart from maybe the pork ribs with fried milk!

Service with the food was faster than expected but at the end we had to go ask for our dessert twice and it took ages for it too come out,I think they forgot about us

And there is a 3% credit card surcharge fee

But it's still busy on a Friday night but I believe it's due to the seafood specials

Overall though they are busy, Golden Globe is beats them both in Yum Cha and dinner in my mind

This Chinese restaurant opened recently in Burwood. It is probably one of the larger Chinese restaurants in the area and has a few private dining rooms with a minimum spend of $800. The interior is definitely an improvement from Golden Globe but they have a lot of catching up to do in terms of service. They are relatively under staffed and by an ageing, inexperienced group of staff. The dishes come way too slowly, one at a time and we would be waiting in between dishes because we've already finished the food. I've been twice but only because they had a seafood special. Food is average, there is room for improvement there too.

This is as good as Chinese restaurant food gets! I usually dine in Hurstville so that’s my palate of reference. I’m happy to say that all dishes were yummy 🤤 However, the cooked lobster could’ve used more oyster sauce as it was a bit bland. Also, the steamed oysters tasted a bit fishy, so perhaps a bit of Chinese wine would’ve fixed this. Hailing a waiter to take the order always takes a bit of time - but that’s to be expected on a Saturday night.

Been here a few times, the food and service is always great. Reasonably priced too and easy access to parking when early. Private room options too with minimum spend. Free complimentary soup of the day that doesn’t taste salty or with lots of msg and fruit and cookies for dessert.

Update, it’s our fourth time back and my whole family agrees this place has great food, serving size, quality, value, and atmosphere. Service is good for a Cantonese standard. Sometimes an exceptional 5 stars, sometimes an average 3.5 stars. We came on a Saturday and the food was average. However, we did give it another try on a Friday and the food was totally outstanding. When it was good, it was remarkably good, I did not take many photos as we were busy eating. On both occasions it was for yum cha. We ate as much as we could, 4 people, the bill came to $108; great value (when it is good).

Good tasting seafood and beef dishes. Vegetables was undercooked though unfortunately. Also, we were served our soup after we've already started eating our first dish. Would had been better if we were served the soup earlier as entree, but at least the soup was free...
