I have been here on two occassions for yum cha and the food was pretty average, the prices were average however the service is appaling! Most recently we went for a birthday lunch, there was about 20 of us dining at one large table up the back of the resaurant. We ordered a selection of dishes, there wasn't terribly much for a vegetarian (however this is the case with most yum cha establishment) but we racked up quite the bill! Trying to ask for service is scary, you don't know what the waiting will be like. We asked for some additional chilli on our table and the waiter said no because we had two dishes already. We said that we were still eating and would require more and he still wouldnt bring any! I don't think I heard one person say thank you when we paid or thanked us for our business. I think because Yum CHa is popular in sydney and everywhere you go there seems to be a line so this must equate to no effort made with service because they dont see the need. the customers will come anyway. Well I will never go to Zilver again by choice and will reccomend others if asked.

Approximate cost: $30

There's a lot of hype about Zilver. When you walk in there are heaps of photos of celebrities, politicians, athletes who have dined here. My experience was pretty average. The food tastes great but the service was pretty lousy. The male waiters look very stressed and when they see you're signaling to them, they often nod at you and just come back a few minutes later. A smile would greatly improve the service. As for value, I came here with a group of five and we managed to spend just under $20pp. Overall Zilver has fantastic atmosphere, tasty food and below average service. The prices are very affordable and I would come back but not on a regular basis.

a great place to have yum cha in haymarket,the dumpling so tasty as u dip them in a chili sauce grat vegetarian dishes with tofu very tasty busy place and so cheap,as soon as u sit down they serve u hot tea as most asian places do great menu to chose from and a great place to meet up with friends

Zilver Chinese Restaurant is one of my favourite place for yum-cha. The food is always guaranteed to be delicious. The spinach dumplings and Siu-Mai are my favourite dishes. The prawns are very fresh and crunchy and I love the tofu sweet soup as dessert. The place is very convenient so it is my friends' gathering place for catching up. Hot tea is served immediately once you sat down and little carts of dim-sims surrounded you in no time. Each of the dim-sim dish usually contains 4 pieces so it is great to share, thus we can order more different dishes. We usually spent around $18-20 per head and are very full and satisfied. Customer service is great too!

We held our Wedding Reception at Zilver Chinese Restaurant. We had 20 tables altogether. The reception banquet menu was great, consisting of 13-courses which were all very delicious and all my guests were full on the night. They have a few different banquets to choose from. The wait staff serving our tables were exceptionally good, serving all dishes, alcohols and drinks on requests. My favourite dish was the braised lobster in soup and the shark fin soup. A jar of coke and orange juice were also provided for free for each table. It was Chinese mid-autumn fesitival that night and they gave is mini-mooncake as desserts. They have different colour of table cloths and napkins for us to choose from which was great, but the chair covers only got the choice of either gold or red. The dance floor is huge as well. One thing I don't quite like is the bridal changing room is too small and abit messy. There wasn't enough space for us to put our dresses etc. Parking is only $3 provided you park and enter the Market City car park after 5pm and get the ticket validated by the Zilver Restaurant. We had a very enjoyable evening, the reception was a success - thanks to Zilver Chinese Restaurant!

I love Zilver! It is my favourite place to have Yum Cha. I went there last Sunday with a group and we all had a 9 course yum cha banquet which was $20 a head! very good deal for so much food! The food is to die for, i had several food orgasms!!

A highly recommended yum cha in Chinatown - a little on the side (within this strange shopping center) but really worth it. Sometimes the wait/queue is a little long, but the food is always really tasty. I'd say that the food is a little bit on the oilier side here, but it seems fresher/high quality.

One of the best Chinese restaurants around- it has huge variety of dishes and extremely fresh food. The scallops are amazing and the service is efficient and helpful. I love coming here for lunch time - every dish is freshly cooked, crispy, fresh and delicious in taste,

We went for a 9 course Yum Cha banquet on Monday lunchtime.The food was enjoyable & different to what one gets in the usual Chinese restaurants.Our only complaint was that the dishes were brought too quickly to the table & left & even though we are fast eaters they were cold by the time we got to eat them.30 minutes to eat 9 courses & drink a pot of green tea! Not bad going if I say so myself!The staff were so serious that not one cracked a smile.Also a bit hard to find.Perhaps a sign outside would not go amiss.

This is a great restaurant for yum cha and we've been here a couple of times only as it is far for us to travel and a bit difficult to find parking. It has a nice ambience and decor.
