I came for Sunday Yum Cha yesterday with a group of 11 people. Firstly, the decor was beautiful. Such a lovely, clean and well presented restaurant. It was not busy so we had a quiet lunch. Much appreciated as yum cha can be so loud due to its popular nature on a weekend. The service was spot on. Extremely attentive staff and manager. We had a great selection of dim sums- scallop dumplings, prawn dumplings, bbq pork buns, seafood dumplings, bbq pork pastry, chinese broccoli, scallops in egg yolk batter, duck pancake, calamari plus more! A few of us tried the delicious fried ice cream which was so light and not overpowering. A few also had a lovely glass of red wine at $7 each which I thought was very reasonable. $54 each (minus drinks) and we ate to our hearts content. Would’ve uploaded more photos but was so hungry I forgot to take more! Thanks and we will be back soon :)
My bf and I were looking to go to a yum cha last minute, and called up East Imperial to book a table which was such a great decision!! Firstly we couldn’t fault the service, it was the most attentive service we have had at a yum cha. They were constantly filling up our teas, and clearing plates, and asking us if we wanted certain dishes that hadn’t come out. Secondly, the food was delicious. The dumpling casings were the perfect consistency, and I was very pleased with the variety of dumplings. A little on the pricey side, but worth every penny!
It's Worth to try it out if you'd like to know what's authentic southern Chinese food. Lots of fresh seafoods. We all had a very good night there.
Tasty Chinese food, Szechwan beef and the beef and Chinese broccoli dishes were my favourite.
Excellent service, friendly staff, great with kids (offered us special melon juice for kids which wasn’t on the menu and was delicious and greatfully received!)
This place is BYO wine and a Cellarbrations bottle shop is nearby on Lygon st.
Nice comfortable seating and atmosphere.
Thanks for a great birthday meal with a big family group.
Came for yum Cha. Food tasty - well presented. Warm atmosphere and friendly accommodating staff. Standouts are duck pancakes, shanghai dumplings, ginger prawn dumplings. Would definitely come again.
I have been here couple times and never let me down. Especially home-made Yum Cha! Tasty dishes, friendly manager. Great location, Easy parking. Keep going!
Great traditional regional Chinese food and some interesting dishes I haven't seen on a menu before such as a caramelized sweet potato dessert. Sweet and Sour whole fish was pretty amazing also. Service was excellent too. Best Chinese I've had in Melbourne in some time.
The best experience I have ever had in Mel. Services are great!Fabulous food,especially Peking Duck pancake!I can't wait to make a reservation for next visit.
A hidden gem!. We had a lovely meal here and it was so good that we had already booked to come back again! Attentive service with excellent food and good prices, it gets my vote.
Food is amazing, fast service and very friendly, the head chef is a champ!
Arthur and the owner Aunty Chen are very friendly. They make you feel like home. Apart from the dishes from the menu, you can also call and tell them what you like and order customised private dishes. Service is definitely 5 star. The restaurant is nice and quiet which is good for friends gathers and chat. Definitely first preference Chinese restaurant for our family.
Came on a Tuesday with no booking in a group of 3. Restaurant was empty except for us but the food was delicious and the staff helped us customise our ordering to give us exactly what we needed. Thanks for the fun night!
Went last night for Mother’s Day and the food did not disappoint. The food came out hot, great portion sized and was absolutely delicious. Our go to restaurant for Chinese food.
Must visit here for best service and the most delicious Chinese!!
I love this place. The prices are reasonable, the owner looks for the best quality produce. I have lived in China, I married into a Chinese family. In terms of Chinese food, I know what I'm talking about. Talk to the boss, tell her what you like, and they will look after you.
