Probably the only old established Yum Cha place left in CBD. Always reliable in quality & if you are regulars, you get some extra like the special Chilli as compliments etc

Best Yum Cha in Melbourne at very reasonable prices too! This is truly one of my face places for a Sunday Yum Cha or A quiet business lunch!

Good places to come when there is a long queue at shark fin house! And it's just down the road to parliament station.

If you have to eat here, boycott the shark fin dishes and let the staff know. They're utterly unethical.
