Came here with a large group. They took charge and knew what to order on the menu. Sadly not a lot of vegetarian options but even what I couldn’t eat looked so good. Staff were so friendly and fast. Would definitely come back
First time visit for both of us and we were pleasantly surprised at the tasty food on offer. Weve been spoiled by a couple of other places so we were expecting to be disappointed. The view and ambience left a lot to be desired but the food was excellent
So so so happy when elegance Chinese restaurant finally opened its doors, new Lynn (and west Auckland) was in desperate need of a delicious and affordable yum Cha joint!
This place is busy, but thankfully takes bookings.
Their prices aren’t over the top like some of its equivalents in central Auckland.
Their dumplings are usually always hot and they’re always tasty.
We usually go early (around 11:30am) and the selection is good. If your favourite is not on the cart (like most yum Cha) you can order what you want from the menu.
The staff here are very friendly and they speak great English if you need it....
🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟 5 star dumpling review
My second time dining here, it was not too busy at the time which was good for us. Our food order was taken and delivered to our table in a timely manner. All the food we ordered were delicious. We ordered, Half duck a bit on the tough side to chew but still yum, stir fried pork with cashew nuts, black pepper beef, chicken fillet with lemon sauce and steamed chicken feet with black bean...drooling now 😁. The only down side for me was not enough steamed rice, we ordered 4xrice bowls that came in a small barrel type bowl which when you're dining with an adult male and two growing almost teenage boys, you'll need a rice pot...😂😂 lol. Overall dining experience was pleasant and enjoyable, I'll definitely return for more.👍
Best yum cha! Prawn and chive dumpling are my fave and the pork ribs I can eat two by myself. We also order this Uber eats and it come so hot and fresh
Food was excellent service was good our group enjoyed The helping was good so its good value for money. The restaurant was packed when we went but Claire was very helpful. Restaurant is clean.

Only been there for yumcha. You get all the traditional yumcha dishes, generally pretty good~ Could be better if there are some more selections.
Cleanly and neat, with staff that are the friendliest I’ve come across in all Yumcha culture in Auckland! Smiling, and willing to help and explain ingredients also brings various condiments to better our eating experience (even when we are used to self service). Food is no doubt delicious, they are quite experimental! I cannot wait to be back!

Ever since coming to this place, elegance has been our family go-to for yum cha! The restaurant is spacious and comfortable. There is a wide variety of food and all are reasonably priced! The customer service is quite good. The staff are pretty attentive and friendly. They introduced us to 虾多士(Deep fried prawn toast) which we now order all the time when we go yum cha. Being a huge sesame dessert fan, I would say that they make one of the best 芝麻球 (Sesame balls w peanut butter) in town! The outside is crispy and chewy but not too thick, and the inside is oozing with melted sesame paste! The 蛋挞 (egg tart), Almond Taro paste rolls, red bean balls, 冰雪榴莲 (Durian balls w cream) and 小笼包 (Steamed shanghai pork buns w red vinegar sauce) are all highly recommended! The 流沙包 (steamed custard salted egg yolk buns) is my favourite, arguably the best too! However the salted egg yolk taste has decreased the last few times I've been there ;-; and sometimes the oozing effect of the custard is not so consistent every time. Nonetheless, this place is great for yum cha! As with any popular yum cha place, try come early around 11-12 so that the popular stuff don't run out! (Saying this from the point of view of someone who always misses out on her 叉烧酥 (BBQ pork pastry) ;-;) Haven't tried their dinner menu yet, but am definitely keen to try! :)))
Such a nice place to eat yum cha. I have been eyeing this place up for a while now, and I regret not going sooner. The staff were very attentive and I was worried I would have to pick and guess what each dish they had (cuz I don't speak chinese)..but staff explained and recommended some good dishes. Will be back for sure.
We had Yum Cha (Dim Sum) at this restaurant. The food was really good and service was quick and efficient. The restaurant itself is pretty basic looking, but hey, the food was good. Staff came around with trollies every few minutes with a tempting array of traditional Yum Cha items as well as a few eclectic items. We sampled some Shu Mai, Prawn and scallion pancakes, pork roast, some rice pancakes with prawns, salt and pepper squid, BBQ pork buns, sesame balls, sticky rice and ice cream balls.
We would recommend this restaurant and give it 👍👍
Been here a couple of times and this place never seems to fail definitely love the squid tentacles and the bbq pork our go to for lunch on a Sunday
Prawn dumpling are divine very fresh and mouth watering the service is Great everyone is very friendly the best time to go is in the later evening before closing as they are not too busy then compared to Sunday brunch time could be a bit of a wait for trolleys to come through etc pricing is fair and reasonable quantity and quality is a 5/5 for me !!
We had a pleasant yumcha experience today, booking was easy, food was quick to come and tasty. Great service from staff who served tea and clearing of dishes, will be returning again.
Loved the food and the atmosphere in this place. So relaxed, and the staff are so friendly. Was a memorable experience with friends.
We went in European but were treated amazingly. The food was top notch and the portion sizes make up for the price one meal will easily feed two people or have leftovers for lunch. I'll be writing about this place in my popular food review blog and giving it 9/10. Thank you elagance for the lovely evening.
This is really nice place.Foods are excellent.huge of portion sizes.I'll definitely go back again.
I thoroughly enjoyed dinner here tonight, I prefer it over the yum cha. Highly recommend the Gai Lan (greens) dish and the fried salt/pepper prawns (there's a tofu version) is delish!
I have been to China twice, but the food was not to my taste. So there was a stereotype that Chinese food didn't suit me, but I happened to visit a store with a Chinese friend today. All the food was so nice and delicious unexpectedly. I decided to visit again next time because it was fantastic and all the dishes were delicious!!! ❤️✨🤞🏻
I'm quite picky at Yam Char
This one is okay
Good value for the money
Steam cart is pushing around the floor
Convenient location walking to the Newlynn station
One of our local chinese restaurants. Serves A L O T of yummy food for a relatively cheap price! Service is quick and the restaurant has a good set up, with lots of tables - Recommend for a cheap night out.
