Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"It seemed like a very authentic experience here. There’s a good variety of dishes available and they were all delicious. A nice fun atmosphere here as well. We’d come back any time"
"Love the quick traditional pace of this Yum Cha spot. I went on a Sunday after Camberwell market. They are open quite early at 9am, and I called up at 10am for a booking to ensure a seat. I got there and it was quite packed. Delicious dumplings, I’d say the tapioca skin is a bit thicker than I prefer, but so much meat packed into these. Loved their glutinous sticky rice leaf. Chicken feet here were one of the best however their xiu mai was a bit of a let down. So will be back to try their tarts!"
"Small but efficient and tasty yumcha place! Been here a couple times and quality does vary a little (mainly with the fried dishes) but overall still great quality. Also very reasonably priced and friendly service so will continue to come back! Favorites are the egg tart, spare ribs, siu mai, beancurd prawn roll, and chicken feet. Xiao long bao could be better, har gow skin was a little thick. Don’t sleep on the chili oil! P.S. 5% off if you pay in cash :)"
"This’s a yum cha restaurant located quite far from the CBD, so we usually have to rent a car just to get there. But everything is absolutely delicious, totally worth the trip—and the pork has no smell at all"
"The new Queen of Yum Cha This is a VERY small yum cha restaurant with a HUGE selection. Fresh and fast with traditional service and decor. Each dish/basket is comes in smaller quantities, 2-3 pcs. But they are HUGE in size. Absolutely delicious. The restaurant is very well decorated, warm and cozy. Service is also good and responsive. They use an app to order so you can order as you eat which is very convenient. Food comes out rather fast. I'm trying very hard to find something negative, so I can think of the bathrooms. They are not renovated and on the dirty side. We will definitely be coming back. Can't wait to bring friends here! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
"Delicious Yum Cha in the Doncaster area. We ordered the stir fried beef flat noodles, turnip cake, tofu skin pork dim sum and I have to say the best steamed beef ball dim sum I've ever had (it was generous and so well seasoned - even had parsley I think. Every mouthful OMG). The other dishes were excellent and delicious as well. For two people it was affordable and reasonably priced quality yum cha (about $25 per head). We will certainly be back, but make sure you book in advance as they do get busy."
"Located in Greythorn Shopping Area provide various options of dimsums. The taste was good average at all. The superior taste were found in chicken feets and prawn dumplings. In rush hour, better have reservation first to avoid waiting time."
"The dim sum is amazing! The siu mei and chicken feet are fresh and juicy, and the beef rice rolls are incredibly tasty! The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with modern Chinese-style interior decorations. A friendly reminder: I noticed on weekends, the dining time is divided into 1.5-hour sessions. I will recommend to make a reservation to ensure a spot and make sure the time slots fit you and your family."
