Food here was very nice. Some dishes were kind slightly bland. The ladies that served us were super friendly. Would definitely come back here again in the future

Delicious food in the heart of the Sydney CBD. Food is hot and service is fast. Would’ve liked a few more options with the dishes available, but it’s definitely worth going. Great for kids as they have the cutest desserts, the pink piggy puddings were an absolute highlight!

Recently dined here and it exceeded my expectations! When you first walk in you are greeted with a bustling restaurant, tables chatting and the smell of fresh dumpling wafting through the air. We were seated quickly and swapped with carts of options. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and perfectly steamed unlike some other yum cha places that often serve mushy dumplings. Staff were very nice and did not mind that we stayed a little longer. Would definitely recommend.

Pretty reliable yum-cha, and conveniently located in the heart of the CBD. Pricing is normal for yum-cha (I.e. not cheap!).

The restaurant is so popular, especially during weekend lunch time. A bit noisy and crowded. But the food is great and satisfying. Staff are very friendly and thoughtful. We had prawn dumplings, pork dim sum, roast pork, beef tripes, chicken feet, bbq pork rice noodle, mushroom bean curd rolls, egg tarts, and deep fried taro duck. All were amazing! Very high quality and authentic, making me feel homesick! Will definitely come back to try more! Update: had yum cha lunch with my partner the other day. Not as busy as weekend. Everyone was super nice and friendly to us. Had spinach dumplings, chicken feet, pork ribs, rice noodle roll with bbq pork, prawn toast and egg tarts. All were as good as always! This is definitely our comfort food spot in CBD area!

Sunday 21st July 2024 Been to the restaurant a couple of times with friends for yum cha and on this occasion, we visited for dinner and ordered a variety of food from crispy pork belly, deep fired taro, battered fish pieces, sweet and sour pork, oyster omelette, and a couple of other items. All the food was great, freshly prepared and served promptly and we were all happy with the taste and quality of the food. Great place in the CBD with many options to choose from.
