Great staff, superb fresh food!
My favourite yum cha place in Melbourne. Quality of the food is exceptional and service is attentive.
The restaurant was quiet on a Wednesday night. Ambience, food and service is uniformly classy. Meal size is not huge but ingredients are clearly excellent quality and fresh. Attractive presentation. We had expected there ought to have been leftovers we could take home, but we easily finished 3 entrees and 4 mains plus 2 serves of rice between 3 of us.
My scotch and dry was rather flat.
Great dim sum selection and the waiters/waitresses always explain the food in English 😝. The carts pass by our table quite often, and we never need to wait for too long. My family loves their stir fry spinach too, which we ordered separately not from the dim sum cart.
Excellent yum cha. Steamed dumplings are delicate, high grade of seafood used. Fried dumplings are not oily but crispy and light. Pumpkin dumpling is a must try. As is the prawn and chive dumplings.
Revolving Doors ...
The revolving doors of Chinese restaurants should stop here, Tao Tao House is serving good Cantonese food and very reasonable ... their service is also way above average.
Always a good option for Cantonese food in Hawthorn, Kew and Camberwell area.
I'm not a fan of this extra 1,5% bank merchant fee for paying with cards, we are living in a cashless transaction society ...
Came here for dinner. I heard this place very long time ago. Reservation for table and crab. Really good high quality seafood and make it yummy.
Went for Sunday Yum Cha with my Singaporean relative. We were very happy with the authentic array and taste of Yum Cha dishes. We particularly liked the Chee Chong Fan, the Phoenix Claw/Chicken Feet and the Egg Tarts which were light, warm and creamy. The pork buns were slightly smaller which was great as the big ones leave little room for other dishes! The service was good with smiling waiters and farewells. 4.5/5 Extra 0.5 would have been if the Mango Pudding wasn’t so sweet and was more natural and creamier with condensed milk.
Some great quality dumplings here. The fillings and skin was really good quality and fresh however the service was quite slow and disappointing.
Friendly staffs! Foods are over average level of other Chinese restaurants in Melbourne.
The price is reasonable as well and yum cha is even cheaper than that in Beijing.
Would say it’s one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in Melbourne. Love its low key simple 90’s decor. It brings me back to that old time Chinese movies scenes.
The service is superb. The background piano music perfectly fits into the atmosphere of talks and laughs.
Partner and I ordered football dumplings, wagyu beef cheek, salty fish and dry chicken tofu clay pot and a vegetable dish. Each dish is nicely cooked. Especially the football dumplings and beef cheek. We could taste the freshness. They just came out from the stove. We even ordered another 2 serves of football dumplings to take away home.
Thank you for giving us such a delightful dinner experience.

My sons love the yum cha.. good service and good food... Nothing I can fault with the dishes.. very authentic
Excellent yum cha / dim sum. Fresh, hot. Good service. The sticky rice and pork spare ribs, the two items I usually judge yum cha on, were both top shelf.
A small restaurant close to MLC.
Not many people so service is fast. Yum cha sweet items are well presented and tasty.
I thought golden leaf was nice until I came across this. Such attentive service, good clean environment and food, totally is on another level. This will now be our new family hangout and I'll be sure to bring friends here! Very impressed and pleased! Words cannot articulate!
We have dined at Tao Tao House previously selecting our meal from their à la carte menu however this time we visited to try out their Yum Cha offerings. We were impressed, not only with the dishes but also the service, especially from a young guy with a great sense of humour.
Yum Cha. Good service. Food lacked variaty, could be due to its smaller size. The mud crab we added however was exceptional! Best mud crab I've had in years.
