AI Summary

Southbank's riverside yum cha institution, loved for Cantonese dim sum and Peking duck.

An upscale, multi-level Chinese restaurant with balcony seating over the Yarra, festive for celebrations and large groups, though the mood is dented by reviewers describing patchy service and pressure to tip.

Riverside balcony seating over the Yarra, trolley-served all-you-can-eat yum cha at a flat $75pp rate, gluten-free and vegetarian accommodation for yum cha dishes, and function menus for large group bookings.

Reviewers repeatedly praise authentic Cantonese and Sichuan-inspired dishes and Hong Kong-trained waitstaff, noting genuine flavour and technique.

The $70-75pp all-you-can-eat yum cha is seen as reasonable by most, but a la carte mains and set banquets draw complaints about high prices for the portion size.
