Was a terrible experience. Service was extremely bad. The waiter didn't seem to understand english very well and at one stage he left our table cursing, he had failed to explain the menu properly. Ordered dumplings to share to begin with, tasted like they had just come out of a packet and microwaved and did not provide any plates or dishes for the soy sauce and had to ask for chilli sauce. He was extremely rude. The staff did not deliver our main dishes to the appropriate person, just dumped the dishes on the table (understandable if you were having yum cha, but we were not). The vegetables with oyster sauce were the most disgusting (steamed bok choy with oyster sauce). Usually the sauce would be cooked with the vegetables and a bit of sugar or something added, as oyster sauce is very bitter on it's own, but that's what it was, veges with oyster sauce poured over the top, straight from the bottle, eeeeewwwww. One of the girls meals came out after maybe 2 minutes after she had ordered (how is this possible, left overs from another plate and microwaved perhaps???) I can't believe how many people have given this place a good rating, obviously they have never had good asian food before, even I can cook better asian and I'm white. I guess you get what you pay for, and this place is cheap and nasty. We had thought about leaving and not paying, that's how bad it was. That's probably why they have all the cameras around the place, lots of people just leaving without paying. No surprise, I would not recommend this place to anyone. Went with a group of 6 people.

Cost me about $11 all up, for 8 dumplings, won ton soup, and a drink, heaps better than succumbing to mcdonalds or some other rubbish :D Anyone in Melbourne, either living here or visiting, owes themselves to give this place a go, it's awesome! - Adam I’m down in Melbourne (from Sydney) for the weekend, hadn’t eaten in nearly 24 hours (due to a reeeeeally early flight) so when I found this review, I figured I’d give this place a shot.

But when I went to this shop, I was shocked as they told me there was no yum cha anymore, although the shop clealy says they have yum cha all day. The waiters there can't really speak English well and have a problem in communicating, especially when asked whether they still have their yum cha menu. My boyfriend was horrified and we went to another shop for dumpling. Kinda disappointing after reading these good reviews and can't experience it.
