My favourite place for yumcha, they have an awesome variety, a convenient area to park and a big seating space perfect for large groups. They do these unique rice rolls using purple rice - so delicious, and their Portuguese egg tarts are so good!
I live in east but I always come here for yumcha cause it’s soo good. Very wide selection of food that is not available at other places. I came for dinner recently and everything was so fresh and tastyyy. Plus they have a handful of biggg private rooms that’s good for large or imitate gatherings.
Cypress restaurant is an awesome spot for food. A big group of us headed here at short notice and were accommodated so well by the friendly staff:D!!!
Nice and clean restaurant with delicious Chinese dim sum~ easy parking and big room for group dinners
This should be the best yumcha in central area now. A lot of choices to choose, and many new yumcha dishes such like red rice noodle roll, goat tripe and walnut bun.
Only got the chance to take photos of the duck, but all of their dishes are delicious!
Professionally run with a huge, spacious venue. Great place to dine with friends and/or family. Great quality food and overall enjoyable dining experience.
I never heard of the Cypress till my young one asked me to take her there for a birthday gathering, and once there this was the old Valentines site, and hooray is a Cantonese theme eatery too, my second trip there we had the usual known Cantonese dishes such as steam fish, fry rice, stir frys etc. nice vibrant ambiance like in any Canton theme restaurant too must return for yum char one day too,
so if you wanna find a popular Cantonese restaurant go the the most noisy one like this one.
I was so excited when I heard about this new restaurant and I'd be meaning to try it out....
All I can is, its exceeded expectations!!
Gret range, food was fresh and piping hot, good quality ingredients and best of all, super decently priced!!
This is now my next favorite yumcha. Newly open, excellent service, very large friendly. The food it very good and they also have special dishes other yumchas don’t have. Also this yumcha is the most worth and best value for money. Hope they keep it up! Have already came here 2 days in a row!

The best BBQ pork we've had! It was fresh, juicy and the ratio of the meat to the fatty pork was just perfect! The restaurant itself was nice and clean, because it was nice and open with high ceilings, the smell of the many different dishes didn't engulf the place, so the ventilation is great! The wait staff were so polite & if the manager on the night who served us was great! All the dishes we had were yummy, juicy, full of flavour but not over powering because you could still taste the flavor of the meat! We BBQ Pork, Prawn & Cashew, Lamb chops in black bean sauce, Honey pork, Oysters(these were jumbo sized), green onion pancake(it was more of a bread than the usual pancake BUT it was YUMMY still & a much better suit to all the dishes). We'll definitely be back to try other things but for now, we're very satisfied customers!
Good and authentic Chinese food. The food came out really quickly and was delicious. However, the sweet and sour pork was lacklustre as it tasted a little bland. Apart from that, everything else was delicious.
A classic chinese style restaurant. I came here with me grandma and my family and left feeling satisfied and will be coming back here again.
We ordered the steam blue cod (live from the tank), salty fish eggplant pot, cashew chicken and veges & gai lan with beef stirfry.
Went there with my family for lunch. The food is amazing but it doesn’t like other Yum cha restaurants which have trolley to pick up food from.
Authentic taste, super good! May need to wait for the food to serve, it's worthy.
Excellent range of dim sum, does all the OGs to the best standard. Quick efficient and friendly service. Delicious at each visit and leave feeling very satisfied.
The food is delicious. The restaurant was so crowded during the weekends. We had to wait for a bit to be served. The price is a little expensive but it was worth it. We came in a group of 3 people, the bill was approx 140 including 15% surcharge on public holiday.
Enjoyed the 3 course Peking duck for $78!! The duck for the wraps had a decent about of just skin pieces/no meat left on skin pieces which I’m more used to (empress garden from what I remember has a lot of duck meat on it). Was crispy and delish! Although I thought the soup was a bit bland as didn’t have the flavour of the duck bones in it.
Also had the beef flat noodles $28 and man tou deep fried buns $12 with condense milk 🤤 yummy! (Yep we had lots of leftovers to takeaway for 2 people).
Service was ok, friendly, some staff speak English most didn’t speak it very well. Didn’t get a tea top up. Clean enough and ok ambience, like you could dress up or dress down if you wanted to.
Would go again! Although the other main meals seemed pricey, $38 for that long bean and mince dish😵 $32 for tofu
Delightful place to have your yum-char, and their prices are reasonable especially for its portion size. However, they don't push the carts around like any other yum-char places, but they'll take your order instead. Although it can take a while for them to take your order, they speedily serve your order. However, if you come over on special days such as Mother's Day, then be prepared to face a long queue, both to get in as well as to get your order. Parking is not too bad, as you can use the shared parking area.
Came here for a banquet style dinner. Very nice food. Very good service. Dined in one the private rooms. Waitress/waiter were attentive and efficient without being intrusive. Pics of the fish dishes is not off the menu as we brought in our own catch for the kitchen to prepare.
I returned today for a yum cha lunch. The food and service was very, very good. Definitely going back for more.
Update. For yum cha, make you come earlier than 11:50am or be prepared to wait more than 30 mins. Staff did not appear to have a system in place to handle casual diners waiting.
This restaurant is not my usual go to restaurant, personally I feel the food is good. But one of my friends had bad experience with them before. I am consider it was one time thing.
Food come out from Kitchen fast, Services is good, Especially manger or owner, he was greeting to clents of every table. Parking should not been a problem, the parking lot outside has a lot of parking spaces,even they have underground parking.
