Can anyone please tell me if they do takeaway yumcha at this current situation? Thankyou!
SERVICE: 4/5
Surprisingly I thought the service was good for a yum cha / Chinese restaurant. I don't come to expect it so it was a nice surprise. Fast service, attentive, they take special orders and didn't rush us out. Tick tick tick.
FOOD: 5/5
I think this is my new fav yum cha place in the area. The dumplings were really fresh, juicy and plump with plenty of fillings. The Chinese broccoli was so crisp and I appreciated the hoisin served on the side. My fav dumpling is the prawn one with fish row on top, was the best here! The silky tofu & scallop dish was also a crowd pleaser. We had a party of 5 and it came to $180, everyone was stuffed. Pretty standard yum cha price and worth every dollar here in my opinion.
DECOR & AMBIENCE: 4/5
Okay if you can just get past the drab exterior, pot hole laden carpark and dreadful flight of stairs, you will then enter a lovely dining area where the furniture is not draped in white butcher's paper like most other yum cha places.
KID FRIENDLY: Yes however leave your pram behind as there are a flight of stairs to come up and dining area is a little crowded + the food carts. Noise level is also high so long as you don't mind.
One of the best yum cha i have ever had in melbourne. They have a lot of friendly staffs, the food is not soggy at all, still crunchy, and so flavourful. They have lots of range for the yumcha too. I love most of them, the mango sago is the mvp for me and highly recommended to a dessert person 😆😆!!! And their eel is surprisingly good as well, but i just hate to eat yum cha with fish bone 😂😂. Definitely comeback ❤️❤️ don’t forget to booked guys cAused it’s packed 😊
I came here for Mums birthday and found the food quite enjoyable ! I have been here on many occasions throughout the years and as it has changed chefs so many times it’s been. A roller coaster ride
My mums favourite dish is the crab baked in eggwhite and vermicelli noodles . My favourite was the wagyu beef - it was extremely tender and melting in my mouth. The next day when I sizzled it in the microwave it was still tender !
This restaurant has been around a long while and we have been many times. However we decided to pop in for lunch a couple of weeks ago. The food was always good but after the food we had this time I decided to leave a review. The atmosphere is good, busy and the service very pleasant. The lemon chicken was the best, fresh, cooked perfectly and a very large serve, the lemon sauce amazing. The duck fried rice was delicious and a big serve. Sesame prawn was also yum but could barely finish it as we were both so full. Will be back again soon.
Extremely busy yum cha session on a Sunday Afternoon. Book if you don’t want to wait a while!
Once we were seated, hungry as hell, food came quickly and all the classics dishes hit the spots.
Very good!
Great service. Food was piping hot when served and the staff were all very friendly. Service was quick and the food.was very good.
Will recommend it to everyone and will return for more
Fantastic Yum cha, lots of varieties but my favorite are always the deep fried white baits and chicken feets. My family likes the Cuttlefish legs and the soup dumpling($11.80 each bowl). Definately need to book early for weekends. Really great place.
We had some disappointing experiences at this restaurant a few years ago but friends encouraged us to try again. We went for Sunday yum cha lunch. Booking was easy and our table was available at the set time. The car park was very crowded and parking space tight. Trolleys of food started arriving immediately and continued at regular short intervals. There was a good range of different dishes and all that we tried were very tasty in line with our expectations. Our tea pot was regularly refilled. The staff were very busy but always polite and helpful. I’m happy to now recommend this restaurant.
Booked here for yum cha at 11am on a Saturday (3 people). It’s a good idea to book - get absolutely full with big families etc!!
Ordered 8 plates including: har gow (prawn dumpling), siu mai, char siu chang feng (bbq pork noodle), turnip cake, tripe, some sweet fried thing?? and another prawn dumpling
Around $8 on average per plate. 2-3 items per plate.
$60 can make 3 full people
The good:
- carts come quite quickly, service was surprisingly good today (sometimes it’s not great); friendly staff
- clean interior
- har gow, siu mai are all the standard
Not so good:
- turnip cake seemed a bit too uncooked: toooo soft/moist
- 2 egg tarts for $9.50 is a ripoff
- tripe was smothered in oil
Overall, your standard yum cha, more on expensive side
