"Went there last Sunday, can confirm it is the best yumcha in Melbourne, or even the entire Australia. Went there 10 minutes before opening and there was already a long line. The porridge is cooked very nicely, with the crisps on top adding an extra layer of texture; The meat and the egg doesn’t taste rancid at all. Super hearty and enjoyable. The dumplings (prawn and crab) are also great. Love the lotus crunch inside of it, truly remarkable. The Chinese broccoli - Don’t know how it was cooked, but this place managed to even cook the hard stem as crispy and crunchy. The leaf almost tastes sweet, with all the natural flavour packed. Remarkable Lastly is the dessert. The osmanthus jelly cake would be better if it had a coconut milk base rather than a red bean one (way too overpowering imo), but still very nice and would recommend, looks pretty as displayed Very busy place so expect minimal service, but for a restaurant the most important thing is the food, and they do their food GREAT."
"Good dumplings here and staff were very attentive. It is the best place I've been for yum cha and recommend it if you like it. However, the space is crammed and a bit chaotic. Other than that, the food is pretty good."
"Pretty good selection of prawn dim sum options, and they're quite tasty! Although I wished the carts can come out quicker. We were sat at a corner and rather far from the kitchen, with 1-hour eating time, I don't think we got to see every menu that they had to offer."
"Great But Not Amazing Had a dim sum / yum cha session with them on Sunday morning and it is okay. The food selection is quite limited and the rotation of the food is a bit slow. The whole time we were there we only get to see bean curd skin spring rolls for fried food. Overall the taste is okay but the service could be better"
