Had yumcha there the other day, service was excellent and the food was delicious. Food service was quick and the all the dishes were very fresh. Loved the environment especially how there was like an open balcony, felt like a mini getaway from the city. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone who loves Asian cuisine.
Great food
Asian first class quality
You feel you are in HK!
Came here for the first time on the weekend and really enjoyed it. It’s inside the Castle Hill Rsl club and the restaurant is quite spacious and very busy. We waited for a bit over 1/2 hour for our table. Really like the large variety of dim sums on offer in the carts. There were still fresh dishes that came out from the kitchen even though it was around 1:30pm by the time we sat down. Food tasted nice and I think it’s one of the best restaurant for yum cha around the area. Would visit again with my parents next time.

Is it our imagination or are the number of yum cha places across Sydney gradually diminishing? They seem harder to find and rarer. We were in the Hills district and felt the urge to graze on yum cha. We did a bit of sleuthing and discovered Jin Yan wasn’t far away, tucked inside Castle Hill RSL. We were there early but as it was a weekend unsurprisingly it was packed. Nonetheless, we waited a mere ten minutes and were seated and ready for the trolleys to roll past.
A great Chinese Restaurant inside Castle Hill RSL.
They serve yum cha as well as made-to-order dishes.
Seating area is very spacious so it would be suitable if you come with a large group of people.
The venue has Asian inspired decor with brown and red as dominant colours. Pretty cool vibe.
I came here for lunch during weekday and they were not that busy. Service was quick and efficient.
They have a large variety of yum cha dishes so that’s definitely an added bonus as some places have very limited choices.
All dishes that I tried was delicious but my favourites were:
Bbq pork bun pastry, salt n pepper squid, egg tarts, pork spare ribs, sticky rice, chicken feet and roasted duck (well, the duck was a little bit too salty for my liking but still tasty and the sweetness from the plum sauce gives a great balance).
I will definitely come back again ‘cause the dishes are awesome here (in my opinion they’re above average compared to other yum cha places I’ve visited before).

Not the best but probably the best yum cha in The Hills. Located in Castle Hill RSL. Yum cha is quite good but wish they have more variety. The dinner is nice if you know what to order. Some dishes are excellent but some are bland.
The service is a little cold but once you are a regular and they recognize you, service does get better.
Price is on the more expensive side compared to all the other Chinese restaurants around there. But it's a nice place and clean.
Good yum cha, decent sized portions but on the pricier side. Great that we could book and there was plenty of room to accommodate 3 prams and high chairs around the table!
Located upstairs in the Castle Hill RSL Club, Jin Yan is a large and classy Chinese restaurant.
Consistently excellent food. My pick for the best Chinese restaurant in the Hills District by far. Since the change in ownership of Golden Century Chinese Restaurant in the city, Jin Yan is my go to place.
Service is quite good. Good yum cha, but dinner is better.
Price is higher than usual Chinese restaurants, but is well worth it.
On the weekends, this place is very busy so it would be wise to book a table.

Excellent and consistent with great food and service. Lovely menu and quality of food outstanding.
Always accommodating and well worth a visit.
#kningjaeats at her favourite yum cha. I really enjoy coming here for good quality food and great variety too with the classics to something a little more fancy. There is a really relaxed environment too with open space on to the balcony and not as squashy as you would expect at a typical Chinese restaurant.
On Saturday, my family and I headed over to Castle Hill with the intention of eating a boatload of curry and naan at the Curry Festival. However, Dad got the day wrong (it was on Sunday!) and a quick change of plans saw us get a table for four at Jin Yan Asian Cuisine for Yum Cha.
We had Yum Cha there on a busy Sunday. The Dim Sum were excellent. The service was good. We'll be back.
Yum Cha is the best! The taste haven't changed even after the Last few years. BBQ pork bun is wow! The texture of the bun is very soft and melts in your mouth. Something that I would to come back to for our next family lunch out.
And yet, there was more. For in this crisp time when autumn begins to fade, the chef brings pork ribs with black bean, and even adds beautiful sauce to the meat, while ensuring the heat is restrained. You experience the fruity, delicious flavor of this without any spicy pain. I don't need any more pain. Hell, does anyone?
In finality, I will say that my experience at Jin Yan was sublime and my treatment near that of a gladiator most decorated. But the street parking wasn't that great. Four stars.
Had really nice food at Jin Yan. Same as other people service wasn’t 5 star. Mains came out before entree. Lovely people just need to polish up on the customer service.
Could not fault the food quality or price.
