Famous Chinese style brunch. Yum Cha meaning ‘Tea & Dim Sum’ always makes Teddy Happy. The chicken feet on top left corner is for the brave and adventurous appetite. It’s like Vegemite, you either love it or hate it. You can get decent Yum Cha at not over the top price. It’s always good to realise that we can have good Yum Cha in Sydney. I give this place 4 bears
Excellent service and serve speed! I and Xihuahua 🐶 enjoyed a succulent Chinese breakfast. Their food is high quality and well made! I specifically wanted to have the youtiao doujiang combo and it did not disappoint! Good value as well! They take cards with no hassles!

Great place to unwind after a shopping spree at Paddy's. Located just at the entrance of the famous Chinatown gate, you can hardly miss it . It was a warm breezy afternoon , so we enjoyed our cantonese treats with some street view. The prawn dumpling was a repeat on our table ..given we were a set of seafood lovers . We ordered 2 chicken dishes both braised - one stir fried in Sichuan sauce and the other cooked in a mini pot with spicy Wine sauce, the latter is highly recommended ! Although it's called a "spicy sauce"..it is not hot but a little more salty. The portions are generous enough and a plate of fried rice or noodles (we ordered Singapore Noodles) can be shared by 2. Custard buns are a must have at this place..but make sure you order it towards the end of your meal..cause it tastes best when had warm. The food is amazing but a bit on the pricey end, so do not expect it to be a street food place. Expect a bill of approx 180 for 4 people (beer, starter mains, mains and dessert). The service is a bit slow at wee hours , otherwise the staff is very warm and welcoming. All you have to do is be very specific with your order!

We heard the term “Chinese tapas” used to describe yum cha and it seemed quite appropriate. It really sums up what yum cha involves to a more Australian/European mind set. We love it though. It’s such a great way to sample a variety of small dishes at lunch time. Emperors Garden are at the end of Dixon St on the intersection with Hay St in Chinatown and have been churning out yum cha for quite a while now. We were there for a quick lunch and yum cha is perfect when you’re in a rush.
Omg!!! Really yummy! Ppl were like these 5 dishes are the top in the chef recommendation!
They are:
1. Homemade special curried beef brisket hot pot
2. Lean pork and century eggs congee 🥣
3. Braised beancurds with Chinese mushroom 🍄
4. King prawns 🍤 with scrambled eggs
5. Stir fired broccoli 🥦 with smashed garlic
All five stars 🌟 !!!!
Nice to seat outside rather than inside!
Steamed purple bun with sweet potato filling was just okay its best you combined with hot green tea.
Chives and prawn filling dumpling, the skin wasnt soft compared to other dumpling and the filling was okay not wow.
King prawn dumpling - the skin was softer than the chives and prawn and I like this filling.
Rice long noodle with prawn - this was my favourite but they might have steamed it too long because it was breaking apart but they give a big prawn compared to other yum cha.
Shrimp dumpling was good.
Chicken feet was my mom go to food but she love it alot and say this was the best one she eat so far than other yumcha
Altogether it was around $70, not bad that how we usually eat also include 2 cup of green tea. Overall food does come out slow and there food that you cant see on the carton you have to ask the staff to bring out a dish you want.

This place has been here for years and is always busy and popular with locals and tourists. There are also lots of Chinese families eating here which is great. During the day you can't go past yum cha and there is a good variety of dishes on offer and all comes out steaming hot on various trolleys. The prawn dumplings and seafood dumplings are fine. As are the vegetarian dumplings. I enjoyed the sticky rice parcels with chicken more and the steamed radish cake. The tofu parcels were delicious and tasty. Mango pancakes were a huge let down with the pancake falling apart, mango not being fresh and stingy amount of cream. Service can be very abrupt depending on which waiter you get. The bill adds up quickly as most dishes are classified as extra large so at $9.20 a pop.
This place is pretty good. The food is great and the service was good as is the usual at Yum Cha restaurants. I prefer The Eight across the road but it is still good yum cha.
Please people you have to come here and try their beef brisket curry.
The brisket is so tender it just melts in your mouth and the potatoes are out of this world. The curry is creamy and it was made to be lathered in rice.
This is honestly one of Sydney's best dishes that I've tried.
Everything else is neither good nor bad. The service is friendly. And it's a great location.
Pro tip: ask for some emperor puffs to cap of your meal. saves you from lining up in the cold during the winter
I love this restaurant. The yum cha is amazing as is the a la carte menu. Classics like the steamed pork bun, taro duck, mango pancakes are beautifully done. Ordering "authentic" dishes makes the waiters nervous which colours my visits unfortunately. However almost all is forgotten once the food arrives. Life long customer.
Emperor's Puffs! You can go inside for a great meal, but if you feel like munching on good creamy puffs, you won't be disappointed. Just look outside, there is a hole in the wall, usually with a long waiting line. Worths the wait !
Old school yum cha. Been coming here for years. Always popular amongst the local Asians. We had lots like 10 different things the bill came to $100 for two people.
Service is amazing, the staff are so warm and welcoming!
The food was subpar for the price, the most enjoyable dish was the egg tarts and cheong fun (rice noodle)
There is always a line for the puffs. The texture and everything was nice, but it just wasn’t my thing. You still have to stop by and try. It’s very cheap.
