Best Cantonese restaurant in Sydney!
Come here if you want to enjoy authentic Cantonese dim sum for lunch; Cantonese large dishes for sharing for dinner. Their seafood dishes are spectacular!
Good Chinese restaurant. Good for yum cha and also for Cantonese style dinner. Large dining room area with big tables, good for large groups. Fish tanks and interesting decor to entertain young kids.
Good food, and good service. They have private rooms for larger parties as well.
Convenient parking at Strathfield shopping centre, although technically the entrance to the restaurant is not within the shopping centre itself

Literally only came here to have Singaporean chilli crab hehe. The sauce was delicious with a massive side of fried mantou buns to soak up all the saucy goodness. I think it was a successful trip!
I've had dinners here before and it was quite good. The service is good and the food comes out quickly enough.
My usual go-to Yum Cha as a trade off between somewhere close and somewhere great. The food is very decent and good for value. Variety is great (as it should be). A few dishes were a real let down however.
Crispy fish was a bit soggy when it arrived, congee was far too thick, cheong fun had BARELY any soy sauce on it and there was one worker who kept bugging us every 5 minutes to buy a dish we had rejected numerous times.
That being said though, I usually have a pleasant time here.
Having gone to school in Strathfield, I was excited to visit an old favourite destination, Crystal Seafood Restaurant, for a yum cha lunch. The pork buns were the clear highlight - they were so soft and fluffy, and were very warm, with the sweet BBQ pork filling complementing the sweet bread. The prawn noodles were also delicious, and were served with the classic soy sauce which had just the right balance of saltiness and sweetness. We also had steamed prawn dumplings and fish cake with tofu, which were good as well. Service was fairly efficient, although ordering was a bit tricky as it was hard to communicate with some of the staff. However, it was a really reasonable price!
My go to yum cha. The place that converted me to eating yum cha, and it's far better than any competitor I've tried in the area. It gets my top spot because service is great and the food outstanding, with delicate dumplings and other assorted goodness, with very little wait time between dishes. It's reasonably priced too, about 15 per person when I go.
This place gets busy quickly on weekends and significantly on weekdays, make sure you go early on Saturday or Sunday if you want a table.
The dumplings with vegetables, garlic Choi and spinach or always the highlight as are their pan fried noodle. I'd like to see Jin doe make the menu again, but it's soo good, I'm here at least once a month for my yum cha fix.
The local family fav for price (yum cha is much cheaper than the city), consistency and convenience (great for my grandmother and young nieces with plenty of parking directly upstairs). Ask the waiters for suggestions - beef cubes with mayo dipping sauce is always a hit. Also ask for a table near a tv when a good tennis match or footy game is on, they'll happily change the channel but you might need to help with the teletext if required!
Seafood. As the name suggests, seafood is the real highlight here. The prawn dishes were good, and deep fried flounder was excellent. Crispy and tasty.
We also had other dishes such as grandma bean curd, combination hot pot, and they were just average. Stuffed mushroom was pretty good though.
We had yum cha on Saturday and we enjoyed the dishes, especially the steamed rice rolls with prawns, hargow, and mango pancakes. The only dish which was just so-so to me was the fried noodle (it tasted a bit healthy to me, as I'm used to the oilier version!). I like the location of this restaurant as it is very convenient by either car or public transport. Service was good. Great for large groups too as there are plenty of seatings. Prices for yum cha are reasonable.
The food was great. Lobster was cooked to a juicy perfection. Wasabi beef was definitely a highlight and a very interesting combination. We also ordered chicken which went really well with the ginger/shallot dipping sauce. The mixed veggies were also very nice. I felt the staff were quite slow and unresponsive. Took a long time for us to get our teapots refilled. Other than that everything was pretty good. Convenient spot right near the train station and there's also a ramp for wheelchairs or prams.
Best Cantonese seafood restaurant in the surrounding suburbs by far! It’s the only place my extended HK family and their friends will go to now. The food always tastes fresh - never too oily or salty - and portions are decently sized.
Covid tip - you can also order a family banquet to pick up for a dinner feast at home. Food was surprisingly well packed with elements separate for mixing when served. We had leftovers for days.
Customer service is on point even though there is a lack on staffing levels (current circumstances understandable). Food is delicious and good quality.
