We came here for yum cha on a Sunday afternoon. Incredibly friendly service, the food was so fresh and delicious with a great variety. The staff were so welcoming and knowledgable, the best customer service I have received in a long time. We will absolutely be back again, this is our new go to restaurant!
Went today for yum cha to celebrate a birthday the food was great and service was fantastic everything was explained to us as it was the first time we had been there and had yum cha. Thank you to Erica for the wonderful service you gave us today including the joking around it was fantastic to have. We will definitely be back �

This restaurant is my number #1 when it comes to great Chinese I have been going here for as long as I can remember. They were gracious to let me hold my nanas surprise 70th birthday here with over 40 guests. Was a great day, and all ran very smoothly!
Very good food. Slightly on the expensive side and the menu doesn't have a wide range. But rather have quality over quantity.
If you live in the area, it's definitely a good place to try some decent yum cha food.
This place does great Yamcha lunch. Most of the yamcha place are pre made wagon going around the restaurant but this place could order what you like and make fresh one. very spacey and fast service.
Dined here last Wed night as a table of 4. Used to come here quite regularly when I was a kid over 20 years ago for family dinners so nice to see the place is still around and doing well. For entrée I had the chinese sausage (childhood favourite) and it tasted just as I remember it. Other entrées ordered were chicken lettuce delight and prawn dumplings. For main we shared the prawns with ginger/shallot sauce, Cantonese eye fillet steak and Mongolian lamb (special) with vege fried rice. For dessert one diner ordered the mango pudding and another banana fritter. Whilst the food was all tasty and we enjoyed everything we ordered, the timing of the food coming out was disappointing. My entrée came out first and after I’d finished my entrée the other 2 entrees came out – we were only a small table of 4 so easy to have all meals ordered come out together. With our mains the prawns came out first, then the vege fried rice and the lamb a little while later. We all had nearly finished our 2 mains and rice when we had to ask where is our final 3rd main – we can only assume they forgot this one but as we were still hungry we waited and let our fried rice go cold and then had cold rice with our fresh hot main, the Cantonese steak. Again it would have been better to get all 3 mains with nice hot fried rice all together. Service was friendly but could have been more attentive. Overall was nice to return here after so long.
My business colleague George and I discovered this place totally by accident about 6 months ago when looking for a place to have a business lunch in the Ringwood area. The food is fantastic and incredibly reasonably priced. Helen is your go to person there and she will make sure you are well looked after by the staff all of whom are very friendly and quick to respond.
I am now a weekly lunch regular and have entertained several friends and customers there with great success.
The yum cha is as good as the best in the Melbourne CBD and I am sure you will find the ordering method quite quaint but it ensures that the food is freshly cooked and served hot and has not been sitting on some old trolley for the past 45 minutes. Three dishes that are my favourite there are the Whitebait (melts in your mouth), the Peking Duck (generous serves with lots of flavour) and the Deep Fried Spicy Puffs (or footballs as most people call them).
Their wine list is perfectly adequate and if you want you can do BYO, there are at least two bottle shops about 200 metres from the restaurant on the other side of the Highway. Also, there always seems to be plenty of parking available close by, located just off the main road.
This beats anything that you will find in the Eastland shopping complex, better food, better service and a better price.
Great food and great service. I used to come 15yrs ago and back in Melbourne this week i returned and this place has still not let me down
Great work and will be back again
I am really not sure why there is so much negativity here. I have been to this restaurant on many occasions and we love it. The decor is very nice and clean and very original Chinese decor. There are a lot of Chinese people that dine here which says 'a lot' about the food.
I have been to quite a few Chinese restaurants around the area and none are better than this one. The portions are large and the food is yummy.
Saturday lunch starting at 11.00, 2/04/16
The restaurant is located in a small group of shops along Maroondah Highway in Ringwood. White stone wall meet you in the entry with two elephants, which at the front door brings good luck, protection and strength to the restaurant.
We were seated right next to the two large fish tanks that run alongside the entry, the positioning of the tank is because, water represents the flow of wealth and abundance into your establishment. These two tanks are very clean and with some healthy large gold fish in them
The tables are a cherry vanished with a cherry lacquer tables and solid wooden chairs. All the tables are set ready for the days service. Burgundy floral wallpaper dominates the room that gives the room a sense of richness that is broken up by the two large TV units on different walls and the large Chinese style painting. I am thinking that the TV is there for the people who don’t wish to communicate with their other diners.
The ceiling is black that encloses the room and would look better if it was a lighter color. There are large bronze / yellow pendant lights around the room with a few down lights and some Chinese lantern style wall lights to illuminate this well lit room. There is a beautiful large Chinese urn in the centre of the room and a Yucca plant in each corner of the room. There was piano music in the background a well stocked bar. The waiter that served us was polite, helpful and at tentative.
Toilets were clean with new floor tiles but the cubical that I went into the seats was broken and needing replacement.
We ate from the their Yum Char list selecting some entrées selecting prawn and chive triangle, steamed pork bun, vegetable spring roll, prawn & pork steamed with ginger & spring onion and steamed rice. All the food was tasty, hot straight from the kitchen, cooked in clean oil and we found to be ample for the two of us for lunch, we will return.
The yum cha is really good! I love they made by order so when the food comes out is all fresh and hot. The service is great, probably coming in a quiet time. Would definitely come over again
Yum Cha on a Sunday :) Hand made dumplings, delicious beef noodle rolls, great dining area, lovely waiters & the spicy squid is the best I have ever eaten!
