First of all, the water tanks are quite unique in Auckland. Watching the live fish swimming is really something, but the same time it’s quite sad that they going to be served as food on the table. We ordered some clams and lobster, the taste is really good. But the price is very expensive, over $700 just for 4 of us. Certainly this place is not the place to enjoy on a regular basis. But I have to say it’s a nice experience.
Lovely restaurant located by the Wynyard Quarter. Elegant setting with a nice ambience.
Food are decently portioned, but on the expensive end.
The sashimi are super fresh. The honey lamb chop was well seasoned and very tender. The shredded pork with chili is very flavorful as well, great for spicy food lovers. Prawns were decently sized, very meaty.

Huge variety of love and fresh seafood. From fish to oysters to crayfish to abalone etc. The food is delicious and full of flavour- especially the lobster which was spectacular. However very pricey maybe because of the location.
Came in tonight for dinner with the family. Lobster and noodles were extremely flavourful. Mince in beans were a bit too salty but beans were good. Noodles on top of oyster were also delicious. Would definitely come back again for more noodles!
This restaurant is easily the best restaurant in Auckland but their are a few conditions. Firstly make sure you bring someone who speaks FLUENT Mandarin because the staffs english is not the best. HAVE MONEY!!!!!!!. Be ready to drop a couple hundred dollars minimum on Crayfish and live seafood. Thirdly know what to order, this is where a Chinese person is helpful because they can order the right dishes.
Overall I highly recomend this restaurant and is definitely the best but is very pricey and that is why I rate it 4 stars.
Boy was i surprised to find this medium sized restaurant in Wynyard Quarter. As some will know i dont really bother to go to too many trendy parts to eat as im too lazy but i was pleasantly surprised by a high standard of everything.
More of a surprise was they had not had a Zom review or rating yet. Well i had to put fix that! So climbing out of Zom retirement heres my opinion...
Most tables are large fitting 10-12 people but they do have tables for 4 and for 8. There is a doorway on both ends of the sitting area so there is no attempt to cram as many tables in as possible. The back drop is a wall of tanks with all the live splendour of fish abalone crays etc. There was the biggest cray I've seen for some time which had it's own tank. (Don't tell those chicken activists).
The food is nice but quite expensive. There’s a minimum requirement of $600 if you need to use the small chamber. Anyways the food are fresh and portion size is okay. The chef has performed good standard in preparing the dishes. My fav are the Paua and steamed fish, tender, soft and a lot of flavor. The oysters are jumbo size and are super crispy and fresh.
I called in before asking if there was vacancy. The lady at the phone told me to just come in and cut the phone before I could say anything else. Luckily, I understand Chinese because she answer the phone in Chinese and replied in Chinese. When I got there, the lady immediately recognise me probably because I’m only one that arrives in one person. I’m okay with my Chinese but not too good and the people in service don’t know too much English they should really hire someone that knows Chinese and English. The cheese lobster was great. Lots of cheese. The oysters were super fresh with the vermicelli noodles. Just a lobster with the spring onion didn’t have too much flavour.
I had a really hard time cutting up the lobster legs so I eat most of it and packed away the ones with shells. Go home and slowly crack them open.

If you have a crave for Chinese seafood, this is the place. Food taste is almost comparable to those in Hong Kong. Raw materials are very fresh (all live seafood). Their steamed fish is just perfect and tastes very good. Food alone, this is a 5-star place. They can improve on service.
Friendly staff, clean, the food is certainly superb, price equals to quality. Expect a long queue in the evening on the weekend. Fresh seafood, you can pick the seafood by yourself from the aquarium. 10/10 will come again.
We had Yumcha lunch on Sunday, while the food is good and tasty but they were super busy with only few staffs, poorly managed even they tried to accomodate but this is huge place, table wasn’t cleaned, we didn’t get cutlery, water, condiments, napkins. We have to wait long time just to ask for the table to be clean.
FOOD Yumcha was Great, yummy, authentic and GOOD price!
I will definitely eat here again maybe after lunch rush or when they hired more organised with more staff.
Excellent choices for Yam Cha dinner.. loved the corriander chicken dumbling. Very good service. Will definitely visit again..
Great Chinese food . Very delicious lobster’ poor service and very pricy

Nice to have provided 360 images and Google Street View Inside Views for this wonderful Chinese Sea Food Restaurant & Bar in Viaduct Auckland
Great yum char experience, the food was as good as what I had in Canton or HK. Three main dishes were also authentic and tasty. Didn't order seafood this time maybe leave it for a special occasion.
Great food and fresh seafood. Very authentic. However. Compared to other restaurant. More pricy and expensive. Service needs to improve as well.
