Came for YumCha on a Saturday. No booking and was given a table immediately.

Pro: friendly and prompt service without being intrusive - some yum cha places are famous for pushing food onto your table. Food portions are good and tasty without being too oily. Good variety of yum cha options and I quiet like ordering from the menu as well as waiting for the food to come round via the servers.

Con: Hard to find free parking.

Came here on a very quiet Monday lunchtime. We were the only diners, so we got the owners' full attention and VIP treatment.

Food was all satisfactory, albeit their menu was missing some of the staple yum cha dishes that we order by default (i.e. tofu jelly and chicken feet). The wonton noodle soup was bland, though.

Price was reasonable. Ambience was great and we loved the spacious and odour-free environment.

This is a favourite place for yum cha for my partner and I. The food is good, especially the orange beef which is delicious. The younger staff are very friendly with good service - however one of the woman in charge is quite rude and tries to pressure you to buy the more expensive items like roast pork and roast duck. Food is a bit pricey as it is. Jake Elsmore

Went here for yum cha as part of a big group. Really refreshing to see the staff smiling and pleasant to deal with during yum cha. Was also nice that we were not jammed in together, with elbows almost touching the neighbouring table, much more pleasant dining experience. Food was good, all fresh and tasted as expected.

Great to find a yum cha place with nice food and with low or no MSG, been to lots of other places, but most of them make me thirsty all the time.

Went there with a large group of people and they could accommodate which was great. The service was quite reliable and attentive, I guess they have improved since the latest ratings on zomato. The selection Is quite wide and dishes arrive really quickly after ordering.
Wasn't that hungry so just got some entrées. The bbq pork buns were quite tasty actually and the fried dumplings without being sensational were decent. Everybody around the table seemed happy with their meals. Point is it's not the greatest food you'll get but for that price it does the trick.

A good but not amazing place to get Yum Char, the fact they do it all week is great and they have a decent specials board for lunch. The service is very pleasant but can can sometimes lack attention. Though it was nice of them to notice I was struggling with the Chop Sticks and politely gave me a fork without hurting my pride haha.

Food was good, squid and pork buns are as good as any I've had. There can be a tendency to over order like I did, so keep an eye on what you put down on your preferred list as well as what you accept from the food cart because you will be getting both 😂. Would return if the feeling arose.

If your looking for Value/quantity then you'd be hard pressed to find a better Yum Char place - very reasonable on the wallet.

Absolutely delightful yummy Yum Cha lunch experience. We celebrated a 60th birthday... so a good amount of us. We tried soooo many dishes, my favourites were Harm-Su-Gok(pork wrapped in a sticky rice, oval shaped morsel. Also the Vegetarian Rice Rolls (I ordered 6 more plates to takeaway). They also make other varieties of Rice Rolls, eg. Roast pork, Beef, and Prawn...we tried them all. The fried Taro Balls are fluffy and light looking, but are deliciously dense. So many yummy dishes were eaten. We saved some room for dessert, but we didn't have any of the restaurants offers. We had 2 birthday cakes to get through. We all had a fabulous time, food and company. The owners, and waiting staff were very friendly, and helpful. The restaurant was beautifully decorated with Chinese decor, love the massive lantern shaped lights. We definitely will be going there again. I'm sure I'll be ordering another lot of Vegetarian Rice Rolls to takeaway again... love love love them!!! Cheers 😍

Loved all the food that were served for today's yum cha. Very tasty and delicious. It's hard picking a standout dish from today but definitely recommend the orange beef, pork buns, dimsums and sesame mochi red bean balls. Not giving 5 stars just because there were times when we ordered/requested some food items but they either didn't arrive or we had to follow up on the item a couple of times.

Found my new favorite place for yumcha. Booked a table of 2 for lunch on a Saturday. We got too excited that we didn't think of taking pictures at all. The food was amazing. There were staff pushing trolleys with different dishes around, and they also gave us menu to order what we want. The staff also noticed when we had enough food so they stopped offering and let us enjoy our meal uninterrupted.

We had a nice dinner here however there were a coupple things which threw me off here. The second I walked in (with a mask may i note) i noticed a pungent smell of cigarettes. The later once we got our meal I found a hair in it. Not a huge deal as these things happen, but just something to think about. Otherwise the food was wonderfull.

Had yum cha there 3 times in a row over 1 month (all weekends). That tells you how much my family enjoyed the food there. Food is really good/fresh and for now (not sure how long it will last) yum cha dishes are around the $6.50 range from about $9.50 so good food at good prices makes it worth a visit! They will run out of food so go earlier and order more as around the 1.30 pm mark on a Sunday, they are completely sold out of yum cha food. I bring my own favourite tea (Feijoa & green tea, or Iron Goddess of Mercy) there and just ask for hot water so I can enjoy my favourite tea with the yummy food as the tea they serve there is not to my liking.
