We have been coming here for many years for the no frills yum cha items. This place has seriously cheap but good food. The service is never stellar but in terms of value for money, it cannot be beaten.
Today, we had a number of items to takeaway. The custard tart was probably one of the best I have had in Melbourne and at less than $2 a piece, the price added to its deliciousness. The pastry was flaky and crispy while the custard was sweet and of a perfect consistency. The sticky rice was not gluggy and had a lovely combination of dried shrimp, Chinese sausage and spring onions. The other usual suspects were also very tasty and cheap - chicken pie, glutinous rice puff and radish cake.
We also purchased a couple of boxes of their stuffed bean curd skin rolls - these are amaze balls when eaten with rice or noodles.
The interior of the restaurant was a bit drab but it just added to the quaint yet satisfying experience!
Want some great yum cha with reasonable price? Try this place and you will comeback despite running out of money or not đ. We called 5 dishes and they are all really nice. Definitely comeback for more.
What I recommend: Prawn Dumpling (full of filling with freshly smell), Chicken Feet (good seasoning and tender), BBQ pork bun (really nice dough with tasty filling) and sticky in lotus leaf (well balance between stickiness and dryness, strong lotus scent and great flavoured)
What I think you maybe consider: The pork bone in black bean sauce (which is good for me but can be salty for some people)
What Iâm not impressed: The prawn rice paper roll (taste fine, but the prawn flavour is not strong/fresh enough)
What I extraordinarily like: the soy and chilli sauce (extremely flavoursome!!), and the available frozen yum cha that you can bring home.
A great place for Yum Cha!
pretty legit dim sum they have there!I'm from HK and their dim sum got that Hkie flavour in them!
I would go there every weekend for their food!!
A decent place for yum cha! We had the congee (porridge), siew mai and you tiao. The you tiao (fried dough stick) goes well dipped in the congee (my favourite combination), although we found the congee quite bland. The siew mai was nice though and it has prawns inside!
Good selection of dim sum at reasonable prices. You have to self serve for tea, cups, bowls, sauces and utensils. Service can be quite slow and youâre often ignored more than noticed until you flag the staff. A lot of people get takeaways than eat in. Favourites are the egg tarts and char siew sows. Wide selection of frozen dim sums and paus for sale too.
Small and mainly frequented by the Asian community I see. Immensely enjoyed our steamed dumplings (prawn; scallop; crab and prawn; and pork ribs in black bean sauce). They also sell containers of frozen dumplings etc (full freezer on display) which we bought some of to steam at home. Will be back!!!!
My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the quality and genuinity of food in this little, super-busy place. In spite of its size, this tiny restaurant is well organised and it does not take long to be served.
All the food is made on the premises (the kitchen being bigger than the dining room). Our yum cha was one of the best we had in Melbourne. We will certainly go back.
A definite five for the very nice home made food. A top yum cha, which is difficult to find today in Melbourne. The place is unbelievably busy and does not take reservation for lunch: one understands why when arriving there. The parking space is adequate. We will certainly return either for lunch or dinner.
Love this place , itâs really dingy inside but the food is really authentic and itâs open til late so you can have dim sum for dinner too! They also cook seafood dishes as well as clay pots and sautĂ©ed vegetables . My favourite part of this place is the frozen dim sum area where you can purchase your faves and take it home , my fave is the chicken with sticky rice
Humble and familiar are the words I would use to describe Hong Kong Dim Sum. Upon entering, youâll find that the place is quite old and a bit worn down but this shouldnât deter you from eating their fresh selection of yummy dim sum. Their food is quite limited, so if youâre after variety, this place might fall short on that. Otherwise, the dim sum is delicious and comforting. I always order the Pork Siu Mai, prawn dumplings, bean curd pork roll and curry puffs. The dim sum here is of great quality and is always consistent. One of my favourites is their curry puff- the pastry crumbles as you bite into it whilst the filling is smooth and tasty.
Although Iâve never tried it, you also have an option of purchasing some of their frozen dumplings, which seem pretty popular with the customers. Overall, this is a not so fussy casual restaurant with fantastic food, never disappoints me.
