My partner is eager to come for a yum cha since last year and finally her dream came true now. Food r tasty and well cooked. But sadly they dont have so much different dim sums as secret kitchen do, which disappointed my partner. Fairly speaking, the quality of dim sum worths regular visits. However the place is small so sometimes people sitting next to the front door can be hardly served well.
Ordered vegetarian pot and Carrie prawn yesterday. Excellent food. Each element in the dish was well flavoured and mixed together well. Was hoping to score 4.5 but the system only allows 4 or 5. Reason to drop the half point… if staff checks the toilet a bit more often and make sure customer flushes it… sorry very harsh requirement, only say it because the price is reasonably high and so request perfection.
Havent been to this place in a year but have always loved it. Disappointed to find out how much its changed for the worse. Visited for yum Cha. Sadly the food is no longer authentic and has become very western in style to cater to their clientele and of that, food is not great. Mostly fried food. No congee in sight (waiter had no idea what I was asking for and he only spoke English so couldnt even explain – he had to call his manager to ask what congee was?! who was a little shamefaced) – instead youll be offered chicken spring rolls or prawn toast. Watery dumplings. Thick skins. Super disappointing. One thing hasnt changed though – how expensive it is!! Will not be back. Sad sad sad.
Hmmmm was bit fickle minded and came here on a whim … theres soooo many things to eat here now at Hawthorn!!! Anyways for the unconcerned… this place is ok.. sama sama … dame same but different.
The prawns used in the prawn steam noodle thingy.. sorry forgot what thats called in engeris… was soaked in salt water! Very salty! Either that or it is laden with preservatives to allow it to keep longer. Everything we had was just msg!! We finished several pots of tea in the 30min we were there.
8 items and the bill??? $73! YMMV. I liked this place yeaaaars ago but is no longer the quality I remembered it to be.
Popped in on Saturday night on a complete whim, with no reservation, as we happened to be in the area. We had to be out by a certain time, but they served us quickly, so it was no problem. Food was great. Note, prices are significantly higher than the menu uploaded here. But still on the reasonable side given the quality. The corn and crab meat soup had chunks of crab, and the singapore noodles had loads of prawns. But, the drawback was the ambience. Super noisy due to large groups and hard surfaces. Had to practicality shout at each other.
One of the more expensive yum Cha venues in Melbourne (but then again, rent prices wouldn’t be too cheap). It was quite cramped, such that food couldn’t come around too easily. I think they should just revert to table order service, as is becoming the norm in HK (trolley service is few and far between). Service was a bit aloof, and dare I say slightly pretentious for yum Cha. It was more suited for a classy dinner, not casual Yum Cha.
