    Fantastic dumplings and really enjoyed the sweet and sour pork. Not a huge fan of the special fried rice , it's a bit too inauthentic but still nice. I will definitely be back for the dumplings and yum cha

    Saw the high reviews so was keen to eat here after being at the beach all day. The food was a big disappointment. We ordered a variety of things from the menu. Firstly the wontons were okay but dripping in oil. The golden beef was nice but the lettuce (not salad) served on the side is soggy and pointless. The other beef dish lacked flavour. The whites chocolate dumplings with home brand ice cream was terrible. Honestly the food was not good. I’m sorry we tried to enjoy it. My favourite food is Chinese but this was not enjoyable.

    Chinese food with massive flavour and freshness. 1st time customer. Food delivered really quickly. Ordered Sticky pork belly with potato, Wagu beef dumpling, prawn and ginger dumpling, broccoli in oyster sauce and chicken and sweet corn soup. Pork belly was a stand out among everthing else that tasted absolutely delicious. Really good quality. So nice to know where to get some delicious Chinese near Chelsea.

    Delicious food and super friendly service. We had a variety of dumplings, pancakes and mains. They were all really good. Dined on a Saturday night and we had a nice time.

    Stopped here with a client for a quick work lunch. We were so pleasantly surprised. All our food was delicious. We loved their san Choi bao and Peking duck. The spring rolls were fresh. The wonton soup was really good. The pork buns were tasty. The mushroom rolls was something new I hadn't tried anywhere else before. The son of the chef looked after us and was a great kid. Will return and recommend

    Omg! This food deserves 5 stars! 10 years in Edithvale and never try! Thanks to a lady I just meet yesterday and said the food was very good! And it is!

    Worth it. From the young blokes that serve you, who are super friendly, to the amazing food, everything was great. Every dish we had was fresh, tasty, and didn't leave us feeling bloated and sickly like some of this food does. Definitely give it a go, but book a table. It gets busy.

    Absolutely fantastic. Food is great, staff are friendly and you have a bottle shop next door if you forget to take wine or beer! Give this place a go as it is really, really good.

    The food was amazing! We had dumplings, sweet and sour pork and the Chicken ribs were lovely. It’s BYO which is handy cos IGA is just a few shops down. Friendly service.

    Super yummy food! Just discovered Yum Cha is a whole new experience (no trolleys these days) and wasn’t let down. The food was freshly prepared and divine. I ordered 3 items, Peking Duck Pancakes (2 pieces), Prawn & Pork Fried Dumplings (3 pieces) & Mushroom Pancakes (2 pieces), accompanied by a herbal tea, not something I’d normally order but it was perfect. Just so yummy, I wanted to order more but was so entirely satisfied, sadly didn’t need too! The best $30 spent. This is a firm favourite for my hit list of ‘must have’ food venues. Children are welcome. Highly Recommend. A little treasure tucked away in Edithvale. Xx

    Had long heard of this place around local Facebook pages and tried tonight! Did not disappoint, the waygu beef chilli dumplings were awesome and the pan fried pork dumplings also fantastic. Would definitely have again without hesitation!

    This place is a cozy little joint with good food. Not many great Chinese restaurants in the bay area. This one would have to be one of the best when it comes to cost, taste, ambiance and customer service. The young guy is so friendly and helpful Highly recommended 👌

    Delicious food, great service, relaxed environment. Do recommend the beef and chilli dumpling’s.

  • 4/5 Joanne S. 1 year ago on Google
    Beef Pho ordered tasted great! 4* for atmosphere, no tables inside but 3 tables outside if you wanted to eat locally on the Nepean Highway, but there's a beach just behind, so that's probably a lot nicer!

    Recently dined in here for the first time and the food was amazing. Very impressed with everything we tried! The staff were also lovely. One thing to note is it is BYO only, so come prepared with your own drinks.

    Lovely family business. Owners very friendly and welcoming- intimate dining room. Fresh Yum Cha ordered from menu. Flavours were excellent, herbal tea was special as well. Scallop dumpling and the Ginger dumplings were our favourite on the day. Support this little gem- tucked away in Edithvale.👌🙏
