This is a convenient place for yum cha being located inside Westfield shoppintown next to the Village cinemas. The dim sims are okay but not as good as Tai Pan nearby. The prawn dumplings here don't taste as fresh and the chives dumplings have less chives than Tai Pan. The scallop dumpling has very thin slice of scallop. The quality and ingredients definitely does not compare to Tai Pan. This place is pricier than Tai Pan too. For yum cha the small eats are $5 per order, medium $6 per order and large $7.50 per order. I guess there is a reason why Tai Pan has been around for so long and still drawing the crowds.

This place is another restaurant in the chain of China Bar restaurants. It is intended to be more upmarket and provide a higher quality of service and food than China Bar.

We visited for both lunch - yum cha and dinner.

I found the Yum Cha to be very satisfactory. There were a few dishes that did not meet standard - such as Taro Puffs (Woo Kok in Chinese) but apart from that other dim sum dishes presented and tasted good.

Service at lunch time was good and trolleys came around quickly and there was someone to refill the water for the teapot quite regularly.

We also went for dinner and found that the food was good but lacked any "zing" in the taste that made you want to eat more. We selected a few dishes that should have provided flavor such as Golden Egg Yolk prawns, a plate of mixed vegetables, fish fillets and lemon chicken. All dishes were satisfactory but not something you would write home about. The flavors were there, but did not stand out making things taste between bland to satisfactory. For example, the Golden Egg Yolk prawns did not have enough egg yolk coverage so you could not really taste the egg yolk flavor, but the prawns were large and the batter crunchy.

Overall, for lunch the place is quite good, but for dinner,there are probably better places to enjoy a meal.

Approximate cost: $20

We had yumcha twice so far...love the variety of food they offered, good quality as well. The service is a bit slow tho...we had to sit at the right spot to get the trolley passed us, which we didn't the second time. I just ordered few things that my children like before the trolley get to us. But othrwise it's a good place for yumcha!
