Great local Chinese, there food is always nice and there food portion size is quite large. Pricing for meals is a little high. Highly recommend visiting for Yum Cha, but get there early as it can get busy and you can't book. Yum Cha pricing is very reasonable compared to other restaurants I've been to. For dinner you have to order the crispy duck pancakes, you'll be fighting others on the table for them! They do an awesome Honey Chicken too.

Very disappointed here this time. We got there and I wanted to try the peking duck pancakes. It had a A4 page displaying it on the table saying it was 23 dollar special for whole duck, including pancakes and either fried rice duck or san choy bow duck, we opted for fried rice. The pancakes came and they were ok but I hated the cucumber with duck and sauce together, spring onion much better choice. Anyway as I said it was ok, the duck wasnt that crispy at all. The fried rice was ok.
Anyway we went to pay and it was 54 dollars for the duck and I looked on the menu and at the very bottom in tiny writing it said thur and fri only. Not good, others next to us thought it was 23 dollars also and it def wasnt worth 54 bux! Wont go back again I do not like being deceived by crappy adverts.l

Approximate cost: $16

Hi Rachaelrenee, thanks for such a detailed review. While this well known form of (questionable) marketing may not be deemed ‘unlawful,’ it does little to develop one’s trust in the establishment. This further highlights the need for consumers to be more vigilant, so that they won’t find themselves in such a position. Thanks for the heads-up! Reeces

Went here tonight and had the banquet for 25 ph. We had wonton soup starter, mongolian lamb and lemon chicken with fried rice for main and fried ice cream for dessert. The soup was nice, the lamb tasty but the lemon chicken was in supa thick batter and fluro sauce, not great. Rice was ok but the worst was the ice cream as it was just out of freezer and awful. Overall it was ok but should have just ordered dishes not banquet.

Approximate cost: $20

Been here once for the yum cha which was quite good except that the pastry/dim sum skins were thick and not as we like it to be.

Only tried the yum cha as of yet but it was great. Good location since its near Hoyts and AMF. Was a tad expensive for what it was but the service was good.

Busy on weekends, we got there early and bought movie tickets for afterwards next door at Hoyts. Chinese food was fresh and mouthwatering, service was professional, friendly and fast. Eat inside or outside and watch the atmosphere build up

LOVE yum cha usually, some stuff was pretty decent but overall the food here was pretty average and slightly overpriced i think

Considering the location and type of food the prices are fairly expensive, the deep fried prawn with egg was amazing, however the porportion for the prices are very small. they have a good selection of food.

Approximate cost: $25

The food here is amazing, the service is acceptable, though this is because the place is almost always packed.
