This place can get quite busy at lunch hours, however it did not dull the quality of the staff. The staff were still really friendly. I had lots of small little chinese dishes and they were all warm and freshly cooked.
I think the staff here are quite nice. I do love coming here and as Yum Cha it did taste very authentic. I think it is quite busy during lunch if you dont mind the crowd.
Under the previous management this was a good restaurant.
Now, for an $ 80 take-away order we got:
A good quantity of nice Prawn-Crackers
A watery soup (wash-up ?) instead of the listed Won-Tons.
The Prawns were 5 smallish prawns on a bit of tasteless vegies
The Vegetables were more of the same tasteless vegies, without sauce,
The Lemon chicken and the Pork were ok but nothing to be excited about.
Take-away or Restaurant again........... NO THANKS.
Very dissapointing ! ! !

Very friendly, happy and efficient staff. My partner and I dined there several months ago, and on our return visit tonight the waitress not only remembered us, but mentioned some of our previous conversation with her! Pleasant decor and very clean. The food is superb, and the serves are very generous. Large Asian (Chinese) menu which also includes some Thai, Malay and Japanese dishes. BYO (and licenced if you wish) and they didn't charge corkage on either visit. Will definitely go again,
and will recommend to family and friends.
Approximate cost: $15 to 20
The restaurant felt a little dirty to me. Yum cha was reasonably priced. The dumplings were only average when compared to other yum cha places I've been to i.e. scallop dumpling had a small scallop on top whereas other places had a big juicy sweet scallop sitting on top.
Dinner set menu was only average. It's great if you're after a cheap set menu and average Chinese food. Nothing special but still was tasty.
I had yum cha here and I loved everything that I ordered. Was very busy on a Saturday afternoon but if you're not in a hurry that's fine. I would go here again.
Absolutely excellent Yum Cha but the service was a little slow. The bill was very expensive ($85.00) for two people, but to be fair we had two dishes off the menu. If you stick to basic Yum Cha, it should be around $50 - $60 for two people. I do highly recommend this place.
Of all the dishes I have had there, the ones that stood our is the roast pigeon and peking duck. I've tried peking duch in many places and this is by far the best in Melbourne. The duck is not too fatty or oily, and is meaty. Will always please - I dream of just eating peking duck from entree, mains and desert - all the way through... they also let you take back the carcass where you can cook great duck porridge.
Approximate cost: $55
The dim sum choices are not too many but the taste is good. The other menu may also seem not many but some of them are good such as the fried noodles, the duck with black pepper sauce, and the toufu.
On wanting to use EFTPOS for $5.00 (from savings acct) with rest in cash to make up the $29.50 for (Take Away) Honey prawns and small fried rice was informed that minimum EFTPOS was $20 (no sign to inform of this)!
On return home found that prawns were battered - not mentioned on menu - if I'd wanted battered seafood I'd have gone to my local fish and chip shop!
Approximate cost: $21.50
The restaurant has a family feel and is friendly staffed. The food is reasonably priced and varied dishes ensure there is a dish for everyone, including vegetarians.
