Yum Cha at Sky Phoenix is always consistently good. They have a great selection of dumplings, buns, spring rolls, noodles etc and you can order off the menu if you don’t see what you want from the trolleys. Quick and efficient service every time you go! #skyphoenix
better than the one in parramatta
I do love yum cha at all the Phoenix restaurants. I do believe they do the best dim sims and chicken feet. Their bbq pork is a hit and miss. I do feel their pricing point is on the higher side compared to other yum cha. But on weekend in town, usually there isn’t a wait time to get a table. Service and staff friendliness could be improved. Lucky the food is good and there is variety to cater for all dietary requirements.
Wife felt like yum cha, and just searched on Google and this was the closest one. We were already in the Westfield sky centre and it was located on level 6.
Upon entering, it seemed very busy and had to wait a little while. Once inside there were plenty of tables, and they put us in the corner. Didn't mind.
Very nice restaurant, and feel to it. Ordered the usual tea, and service is very quick today. Plenty of carts, were had the ones we get in Brisbane.
Pork and prawn, chicken feet, Chinese greens and of course girls saw jelly cups and had 2 of those. Flat rice noodles with prawns.
Everything tasted good today, maybe it was we were hungry from all the city walking. But we enjoyed ourselves, just a little better than Brisbane yum cha.
It’s the most famous chain Cantonese yum cha restaurant in Sydney. Located in the city center, this one was full of localised people, not like other yum chat places.
The food was quite good. However, I am not the expert for Cantonese haha.
Visited here on a short holiday from Brisbane. Had very high expectations for this restaurant as I’ve heard lots from my aunties!
Came here on a weekday lunch and it was extremely busy. Food was yummy but not exceptional, I guess it’s slightly better than Brisbane’s? Carts also moved around very slowly and was a very long wait. Received the bill and WOAH! it was a little out of my expectations, didn’t expect a few plates to come down to almost twice of how much we usually pay in Brisbane 😱! Couldn’t find the prices of the individual dishes on their menu but the aunties did warn us it’d be quite pricey. My partner and I will just stick to Brisbane yum cha then!
Ate dimsum for late lunch here, really hongkong style, they bring the food around table and choose by ourself, ordered a lot, and the taste is good.
A reliable yum cha in the city. Good for a quick feed. If anything’s not hot we always just ask them to heat it up or get us a fresh serve and they’re happy to help
Sky Phoenix Westfield Sydney has nice variety of yum cha dishes. My must haves include prawn dumplings and chicken feet. It’s a shame they don’t have beef tendon, although thats a not a deal breaker for me. They tend to get really busy during lunch but the queue moves fairly quickly. Overall I’ll be back for more delicious food.
Sky phoenix is a really popular yum cha choice in Sydney's CBD, and I can certainly see why. Now the 4 stars is really for the food and the delicious tastes and flavours that I was presented with, but I did think the food that we ordered took far too long to reach us - this is regards to some vegetarian food! I really liked the variety of dumplings, and dim sum items and liked how quickly our tables were cleared as well. Food is reasonably priced as well! On the weekends I recommend coming in around midday or after to get the max you can out of the food here :)
Fantastic place for Yum cha...Lack bit spicy dish but overall gr8 friday lunch place. Try jasmine tea goes well with good. Mango desert was amazing.
Huge Yum Cha restaurant in the CBD. Great selection and nicely cooked. Great for team lunches or casual get togethers. The staff can be a bit brash or hard to understand.

Best Yum Cha by Far!!!!
WOW!!! towards the entry of this restaurant you think.... hmmm it's located at Westfield, is this really big and has good meals... as you enter and turn into the dining location.... WOW... it is huge.
This is a big restaurant, when I say big i mean huge big!. The good thing about eating here is that the atmosphere suits all occasions. Whether you are planning to have a casual meal with friends or a business meeting, it won't matter because there will always be diners with similar occasions as you.
The service is quite quick and prompt and unlike some other Yum Cha restaurants I have visited.... the meal here is always warm.
Unfortunately I can't comment on the price as it was a company expense, however looking at the number of people both in business and non business attire.... I would assume it would be affordable.
The food was really good but the sevice seriously needed effort. We weren't served tea. The basic concept of yumcha is the TEA... We weren't given sauces. Had to ask them more than once. Each time is seemed like they were doing us a favour. The same trolleys kept doing the rounds near us.. Again had to ASK for the springrolls.. and the taro thing.. and the dessert.. hmpf..!!
A friend of mine was visiting from interstate and we decide to catch up over some yum cha at the Sky Phoenix at Sydney Westfield. I quite like Sky Phoenix because it is such a large venue and I can always get a table. As I walk in, I notice the modern decore and inviting atmosphere full of families, couples and happy people eating. I know I'll be one of those happy people eating soon enough. I sit down and enjoy the lovely company of my friend. We sip on jasmine tea and catch up on our goals in life.

Sky Phoenix is a traditional Chinese restaurant chain that serves both yum cha and a la carte banquet food. We visited the one in the CBD for a friends birthday and ordered many different dishes which we will share in this post.
For our savoury dishes we ordered the peking duck to have 2 ways, the first way is with warm pancakes, cucumber and sweet sauce and the second way was to cook the duck in rice and serve it inside crispy baked shells. This was delicious, the peking duck had a crispy skin and was tender, and went perfectly with the fresh cucumber and sweet sauce.
The most yummy yum cha I have ever had in Sydney 😜 what I love best is there is no special menu to order, just grab the dishes u like. also，it is not really expensive, just around 30 dollars for each and u can have a nice Asian style experience. What's more, this is the only yumcha restaurant I want to go twice in a week😜
First time when I came here was almost 10 years ago. The place has been renovated since. Have to the food is still tasty and even better than it was before ..my favourite is the mango crepe and BBQ pork rice rolls. The dumplings are really yummy.
Don't expect too much for the services..the grandmas pushing the trolly will even give you a good lesson if you miss their trolly the first round, and order when they come the second round. So.. be careful and don't piss them off...The food makes up for the bad services though!
Pretty good Yumcha. The food is better than average, but it costs a lot more than other Yumcha restaurants. Probably because of the high rent they need to pay being inside Westfield. The seafood dimsim is excellent.
I came here for having yum cha and also attending events most of the time. Food is good. Yum cha food is really great. Price is not cheap, by the way. Quite spacious and staff is quite friendly.
Decent Yum Cha place in the city. They have all the staple favourites and you generally get seated straight away, which is important for a busy office worker. Like all Asian restaurants, it can be hit or miss. Some items are better than others. The prawn and coriander dumpling had a soggy shell and the pork bun was cold inside. The other dishes were all nice.
Went to sky phoenix for yum cha on the weekend with a few other people. The place was very busy, but the food was fresh and tasty. Staff were friendly and efficient - overall a good experience.

Like us you've probably been to one of the restaurants from this very popular chain. There's quite a few scattered across Sydney. This one sits up on Level 5 of Westfield Sydney in their bustling food precinct. We dropped in before a nearby show to grab a quick bite for dinner - as we had assumed the food would arrive fast and be to their usual high standard. It was!
I had been here a few times before but haven't reviewed this restaurant till now. Located on the sixth floor at Westfield Sydney.
We came here for a work function. There was copious amounts of food ordered and well and truly more than enough for us to eat. We got a large variety to share so got to try everything. The food was piping hot and it was all so tasty. I was pleased we got everything fresh as at so yum cha restaurants you can tell if they had been circling around for too long.
We were looked after by Ling and she was excellent!
I attended a wedding banquet last Saturday, and was impressed with the dining room, the service and the food.
The room was intimate and relaxed, with subdued lighting mostly, the staff very attentative, and quick to fulfill requests, and the food, well let's say, it was top class Hong Kong style. Mixed roast meats were tasty and moist, the yam ball stuffed with scallops were something new and delightful, and extra large coral trout (which could have been called Moby Dick!), came steamed with soy and shallots was quite delicate, then the best lobster I have ever tried came. Following this was abalone, garlic fried chicken, more scallops and prawns, and I was busting...but had 3 more courses to come!
I'm coming back tomorrow for Yum Cha!!
I have only been to Sky Phoenix for yum cha. I find that the quality is good and the yum cha menu has more of the usual yum cha items. The price is a little steep I have discovered compared to the Marigold or Palace. But it is a newish and bright space.
Very busy but decent yum cha place. We have visited Sky Phoenix in the CBD as a group on the weekend. Found both quality of food abs service to be good - as expected. Staff accommodated my crazy request for more and more chilly oil! And the Mango desserts are just out of this world!
An upmarket yum cha restaurant for the business crowd. The yum cha trolleys keep coming, not the most adventurous that you might find, but the food is always well done. It's a good option for going out with a group of colleagues for lunch, but likely feeling the competition from New Shanghai down below.
Awesome dim sum. Generous servings at affordable prices. Will definitely try to make another trip down before heading back to our hometown. Efficient service. Best to make reservations if in a big group.
Nice place or Yum Cha! Not too super busy like in Chinatown but with equally, and perhaps better quality, tasty food. Efficient service, lots of trolleys goin round the room.
Came here for lunch on a Thursday and enjoyed lots of their yum Cha dishes. Their dumplings and dim sums were yummy. Service was pretty good although they can be pushy with you taking dishes. For a group of 10 it wasn't too expensive at all.
We visited Sky Phoenix for Yum Cha. Servings were pretty good, some of the new dishes I tried were amazing like the crispy beef strips. Speed of service was quite quick and the quality of dishes varied and tasty. Would recommend it for a visit.
Always busy, but always so yummy. Red bean pastry dessert is delicious! And mango pancakes of course, too. Make sure to book before arriving!
Efficient seating and service.
Always busy.
Huge range of dishes to choose from.
A good choice in the city to avoid the food court, but a much larger price tag.
Steam your appetite with the variety of yum cha favourites on offer at the highly reputable Asian restaurant including dim sims, crispy beef and more. Garnish with my favourite asian dessert of all-time ; mango sago.
We tried a variety of dishes and from what we sampled there was a good mix of traditional flavours and western inspired dishes. And portions were generally enough to share between a small group of 4 people

The fillings of the dim sums were all faultless and with good quality ingredients, and the dim sum sizing was generous per portion. The skins were a little over-cooked in some cases and so burst open too easily when picked up with chopsticks, but you can never tell whether it's someone's clumsy chopstick skills or the fragile nature of the pastry.
And just because I was with boys, I had to make sure they were full to the brim and so ordered something more carby, the BBQ pork buns which were just slightly sweet and quite satisfying, full of tender shredded pork and a good tang of sauce.
Jugernauts.com | First time I’ve been back to Sky Phoenix in the CBD, since the old place shut for reno. Used to go all the time when it was at the middle mall above borders/next to Bing Lee. 65/2 persons and we’re both gut busting. This was a good feed, speedy service with some amusing interactions with the cart ladies. Tea was served the minute we sat down. All the dishes were very good – standouts include the yam thing that looks a bit like a birds nest; the boneless duck; and prawn siewmais.There was only so much prawn/pork you can eat so we also had the ricepaper roll steamed with vegetable medley. Good. Desserts, glutinous rice ball with custard. Piping Hot.
A very convenient and easy place for yum cha...Its great that you can book because it means you dont need to worry about wasting half your lunch hour waiting for a table. :)
...a winning combination of great service, food and very pleasant decor.
On the top level of this arcade is Sky Phoenix, a Chinese restaurant known for their yum-cha. So yum-cha I had. I had a really enjoyable experience and can see why this place is popular.
a girl (or two) can only eat so many dumplings in one sitting. seeing as i’m pescetarian, i was slightly limited for choice but i made sure to leave with a full stomach, as always.

At Sky Phoenix, the ambiance feels brighter and more glamorous. We note that the dishes are about 40cents more expensive than at Palace (small are $5.90, medium are $6.90 and large are $7.90) but this seems justifiable purely based on the ambiance.Almost all the dishes are flawless. The braised chicken feet are notably more fragrant in star anise and ginger notes than at Palace, but the texture isn’t as gelatinous, nor is the sauce thick enough to cling on and disguise the chicken feet from what it really is. The cheong fun, especially the char siu one blows us away. They’re utmost moist, the balance in the soy sauce is spot on.
Sky Phoenix. Best yum cha in Sydney.
Good place to come for lunch during a work break if you are short for time.
Shit service sure, but food and price at lunch were good. I think the reviews for this are too harsh- atleast for lunch...we fed 4 people with tea midweek for $52.40 and the food was good (not great)
It’s a surprise when we had the lunch here. The food is super delicious , it’s such a fine dine but with the reasonable fair price . Highly recommend the chicken soup as well. If you like steam fish , here is the best
Love this place. Delicious fresh food, served promptly and efficiently. Don’t forget dessert - the mango pancakes and egg tarts are the bomb! Convenient location in the city. Get there early to get a table.
Had yum cha for dinner on a Saturday night 5.30 PM. It was fairly quiet and the checking in process was easy peasy!
The food was also delicious, my favourite was the prawn and chives dumplings and the salted egg prawns!
Friendly service, highly recommended! I had yum Cha awhile ago, that was also a great experience 😀
my favourite yum cha (this one or the waterloo restaurant). service is friendly (remember dishes i ordered that might not be ready yet). only been here for yum cha but.
My previous experience some years ago was disappointing but decided to give it another go since a friend hasn't been there before. This time we enjoyed the yumcha especially the chicken feet, prawn dumplings, BBQ pork pastry and pork spare ribs. Prices were a bit higher than I remember but then the cost of living has increased. Average cost about $43pp.
