Just had chicken sweet corn soup but was really good soup.
Good and quick service and Jasmine tea was excellent.
Conveniently located.
Staff communicated very well
Living local to the area Ripples is a landmark that everyone has to visit at least once a year. A high quality meal is expected when you dine here. Big venue and good for both small and big groups.
I’m so glad there’s a option close to home to satisfy those yum Cha cravings! Serving up the classics Ripples is a wonderful option. I still would say the Springvale one is much better though
Traditional Cantonese restaurant with authentic and yummy roast duck, roast pork and BBQ pork. Yum cha is nothing special comparing to all the other yum cha restaurants in the city but a good decent yum cha in local Bentleigh area.
Quality restaurant. More expensive, but worth the added price. Known for their dumplings, which are great. Try the chicken hot pot dish, and the half duck (with bones). Friendly service, and quick turnaround. Please stop charging customers a merchants fee.
We had a party of 20, spread over two tables upstairs
Food was great (recommend the crispy pork, salted egg fried tofu and pepper steak). The service is what keeps us coming back! We had a gentleman and lady look after us and they were amazing. We had young kids in our party and they were interacting with them, making them feel special.
So happy with everything. Definitely will be back. Very highly recommended!
Wow...... went to Ripples at Bentleigh with best friend. Lunch time... Excellent Service .... Abundant food choice including dessert. Nice decor... red carpet... and service better than flowerdrum.... at chinatown..... Ahem... great food... this is a must... Mark.
Perfect place for Sunday yum cha with the family.
Ambience : 4/5. A relatively busy place especially on the weekends. Spaces in between tables were tight, just enough for the dim sim carts to maneuvering around in between tables and chairs.
Food : 4/5. Love the food. Simple and delicious. They did not have the chee cheong fun that day, so we ordered extra century egg congee. Absolutely no regret on that one as it was tasty and the congee was cooked perfectly. We also ordered the tau fu fah (soybean curd), which was probably the best I’ve had in a long long time. The curd was smooth and silky; and the syrup was not too sweet which was enjoyable.
Service : 4/5. Service was probably the reason why we always come back. Called 30 minutes before to make sure if there is any tables available and they were kind enough to take our last minute booking which was amazing. The waiteresses were very attentive and remembered each order placed. Kuddos!
Advanced booking is highly recommended especially on the weekends. Will definitely come back again.
The food was delicious! Came here with my wife on a chillax day. All their staff are very attentive. One of the best Yumcha place in the area! Will be back again.
As soon as you walk in you can almost feel the history of the place. I don’t exactly know how long Ripples has been open, but I felt like watching a show on the ABC channel about ABCs (Australian Born Chinese) in the earlier days of Chinese immigration to Australia. The staff were efficient, moved and worked so harmoniously and in sync it was such a great atmosphere to enjoy an excellent, authentic yum cha experience. It almost felt like a hub for the community with the diversity of customers that were present. We’ll be returning soon :)
I have been going to this restaurant for 7 years. Never got disappointed. I saw some reviews about the rude manner of the staff, to be honest it is not that bad and I have got used to it. Food quality is not great but consistent. Flavor is also more than average. There is no other Chinese restaurant's food quality that can compare with this one on bayside area, so basically you do not have any options unless you want to travel to Springvale's Golden Leaf or Keysborough's Shark Fin.
Great food, friendly staff and good atmosphere. Been here twice. First time we had the lobster. Really yummy. Second time is the dishes attached to this review. The birds nest was nice and made authentically from potatoes.
Fantastic yum cha with a selection of fresh seafood that can be cooked to your liking. My favourite is ginger dumplings and crab claws.
We popped in recently to order some takeaways for the Chinese New Year. We ordered the duck and roast pork and both were super yummy. The duck was well seasoned and the meat nice and tender. The roast pork skin was super crispy, yummy.
Great family restaurant, the team were brilliant with their customer service. Highly recommend the San Choi Bow.
