    Hands down - the best yum cha in Adelaide! If you want a refreshing change from the mediocre options on Gouger street - this is the place to go. We arrived when the restaurant opened without a booking and the staff were able to find us a table; however, within 30 minutes - the place was absolutely packed - make a booking! Friendly service and delicious, fresh yum cha

    This is my go to yum cha place in Adelaide. Parking is easy, the restaurant itself is bright and airy, service is efficient and most importantly, the food is great. I know it’s not for everyone, but my litmus test for yum cha restaurants, the chicken feet, are the best in Adelaide. It so follows that the dumplings are pretty good too - thin, delicate skins, on juicy and generous fillings.

    Best Canton food in Adelaide. Accommodating prices with delicious food. The visual is a pleasure too. If any sort of comment is that the people here. Since this is a popular places, if u didn’t book in advance, it generally will take u a while to get a seat.

    Delicious food overall and friendly staffs, especially the bloke thats from Malaysia. Went with party of 8, price per person was about 20-30s. Salted egg lava bun is a must try for any sweet tooth. Beef tripe is also good for anyone that is feeling experimental. There are plenty of parking too but it is 2P so make sure youre keeping track of the time

    Traditional Cantonese Chinese cuisine. The atmosphere was great, there were many people. Service was decent. Loved the complimentary bowl of prawn crackers. The rice was perfectly cooked but it costed $5 a bowl which is way too overpriced. The chicken and salted fish fried rice was good, wish there would’ve been more chicken, salted fish and wok hei. The sweet and sour pork way ok but it wasn’t crunchy anymore by the time it came out. The salt and pepper squid tentacles were delicious. I loved how the food came out very quickly.

    Food isn’t too bad, service is next to none. Restaurant is clean but pretty crammed.

    So many dishes to choose from. Almost everything is tasty and good. Overall, a convenient place for yumcha lunch because there is free parking right at the doorstep and quality is consistent. Prices are similar to the nicer restaurants in the city.

    had Yum Cha and it was delicious. I really loved the salted egg buns, they just melted in your mouth, closely followed by the the rest f the dishes we ordered. I think the cutest was the Piggy Sunshine Bun, you have to try it.

    Five of us hit up yum cha on a rainy Saturday. Place wasn't crazy busy, probably because of the rain. We dug into all the classics - shrimp dumplings, pork and chive dumplings, shui mai, fried taro balls, tofu skin stuff, BBQ pork rice wraps, squid tentacles, and braised pork ribs. Overall, yum cha was decent, but we remembered it being better. The letdown? The pork dishes – strong pork smell and the rice wrap was basically a fat fest with minimal meat. The taro ball was surprisingly the best dish. Used to be our go-to spot in Adelaide three years back, but sadly, not anymore.

    The food was really good. It was a little salty. The staff were really nice and accommodating, and brought the different foods out at different times as requested. Volume inside was good for the music but still slightly hard to hear from across the family table which is tucked up the side so you are surrounded by walls. Though this does give a bit of privacy from other customers which is nice. All in all good food and great service.

    The food there was ok, but my salt egg buns were served to us with the contents of the bun leaked. I felt that the staff should not serve food that are not properly presented, especially when we are paying full price for it, it needs to be done properly, and presented nicely. The service staff had long hair (it was tied up but very loosely) and the front of their hair are very long that it waves around. I saw that when she was holding the trays of food and looking around to search for the right table that the ends of her hair would touch the food that were in the trays. I’ve been there several times but this has been the most disappointing so far.
