A bit expensive especially the mixed roast. But really good quality and fresh. The vegetables - KaiLan is nicely fried. The king prawns were massive. Very good customer service.

I was in the area after a drunken night and wanted some yumcha so I did what everyone would and googled chinese restaurants in Malvern. I stumbled upon this and sussed out the reviews and the menu. In the end, I chose this place because it was the closest restaurant to where I was and I only had to walk 10 mins.

Funnily enough, it was probably the best decision I made within the past 8 hours as the food was surprisingly good. I had the usual steamed dim sum and deep fried snacks. Everything was really really good and I could not fault the place. The service was really good for a busy Sunday and the staff were very kind and helpful.

Overall, it was an unexpected delight and I definitely think this restaurant deserves more credit than it already does. It is definitely above average and I reckon it definitely has potential to be one of the best in Melbourne but definitely would not happen over night. Regardless,  you have one happy and satisfied customer here and hope many will follow to. Recommended to all.

P.S they have a shared parking area behind the restaurant in case you can't find street parking

Came here for dinner. Food was amazing and filling especially the peking duck. The service was astounding and felt more like a premium, fine dining restaurant yet I didn't have to spend as much. Definitely more worthwhile.

Great local chinese restaurant and will be back soon :) thank you!

Was in the area on the weekend and was thinking of where to go. Heaps of restaurants on Glenferrie road but the missus wanted yum cha and so we looked in the restaurant and found it quite busy so thought we should try it. Service was amazing, as this was our first time to go yum cha without our Chinese friends we did not know what to order, but the staff were very friendly and introduced each dish for us. A lot of them were familiar so we obviously ate those ones like the prawn dumpling and siu mai. They were also serving roast pork and crackling and it was so juicy and crunchy.  We also tried this soya sauce and rice noodle thing with bbq pork and it was one of the best dishes of the day. Everything was so tasty and fresh, it made me happy but made my missus even happier as it fulfilled her craving. So glad we came here for lunch as staff were super friendly and helpful and the food was superb. Will be back for more of that bbq pork and roast pork.

I was hesitant to come here due to the reviews but they were all at least 2 months ago. I am unsure what happened but within the last couple of months the restaurant has changed so much and it has definitely 100% improved.

I came here with a table for 10 on a Sunday for Yumcha. I was welcomed by happy and smiley waiters who took me to my table and offered me drinks to start off. Within several minutes, I was offered dim sum and food by the friendly staff. The food was hot and steamy and it all looked yummy. I could not fault any of the food as they were made with perfection and tasted delicious. Prawn dumplings, pork dumplings and all the different assorted dumplings were to die for. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone as the staff were friendly and provided exceptional service and the food was amazing. I mean what else can you ask for?

The restaurant is licensed and serve alcohol so I will definitely be back for dinner. Regardless, I will definitely be back again for yumcha as I would definitely say one of the best Chinese restaurants in Melbourne. The restaurant atmosphere and ambience was great with tables of families to couples to kids. Definitely an all rounded restaurant with delicious food, friendly staff and guaranteed great time with your guests.

Highly recommended, 10/10.

Best Chinese in the area. Been coming for 10 years and never been disappointed. My favorite dish is the half duck and plum sauce. Try, it's mind blowing.

So surprised at the quality of the food here. Only visited as my mom had a Groupon voucher but honestly I have nothing to complain about? Everything tastes well made.
Peking duck, lemon chicken, seafood vege combo, beef and cashew nuts - service was great, food tastes yum. Each dish basically had a good serving of vegetables in it so there is always a variety in flavour. The duck was well cooked and I wasn't chewing my tongue off throughout. I'd probably return if we didn't live about 30 mins away!

Good yum Cha. Would recommend. But quite busy on Sundays so make sure you ask for things you really want. Eggplant and egg tart are always good.

We were really glad when this place replaced Ripples. It's so much better and we eat here very regularly now. The Yum Cha is also a welcome addition to the area. The service is friendly and the food is definitely the best Chinese in this area.

Absolutely delicious and generous helpings for the price - outstanding fresh prawns, fried flounder, fried green beans, ma po tofu .... standout eggplant hot pot. Really good Cantonese cooking, not greasy or salty, not that easy to find these days......

amending above review from 2016 . Tonight’s meal (flounder especially) was far too salty. Duck still very good, not stringy or fatty but glass noodle and veg hot pot was heavy on the noodles and light on the veg. Not as carefully cooked as before ....

Yum Cha always makes me happy, makes my day, calls me wherever it is. Come to meeee! I had to respond to the call when I passed by this restaurant while doing some errands in the area.

Harmony BBQ has traditional Yum Cha with trolleys passing moving around the room. That is my favourite sort of Yum Cha. They have the usual culprits, steamed buns, dumplings, traditional Chinese favourites (paws, tripe, etc.) , fried food, plus a few desserts. The items I chose were very fresh, very tasty, with bulky filling, and still  warm or hot (something that not always happens in other Yum Cha places). The ginger prawn dumplings and the postickers were great!  They didn't have the big hollow sesame balls I love, so I tried the traditional small sesame balls filled with red been paste. They were yummy, warm, fresh, and not oily at all. Perhaps I expected a bit of more variety of dishes but I arrived when the Yum Cha session was already under way, so I might have missed some others.

Most of the staff were lovely, especially the ladies and the young guy at the cashier. They clear tables and reset them in little time.

The place if very clean and decorated in a modern Chinese style.

The only issue is that the size of the two people tables are too big in the area beside the communal tables, so the trolleys can't go in well if the communal table is busy, and customers in the double table have to get up to  check the trolley.

Went there predominately for the mud crabs. Amazing!! Except for the prices, we were highly impressed with the quality of food and service. We ordered the chilli crabs- being Singaporean I have high expectations. I was very satisfied. Will be back!

Excellent Chinese food. Ordered take away that included many staples: prawn toast, lemon chicken, duck with plum sauce, special fried rice and chinese sausage. Everything was really good. The price is a little higher than other Chinese take-away, but I thought it was worth it. 

Recommended and looks like a great place to eat in as well.
