How we read reviews →Hawthorn's long-running yum cha house, famed for dim sum and mango pancake.
Traditional Cantonese yum cha restaurant behind an imposing timber entrance. inside it's warm, bustling and family-oriented, with lion dancing for Lunar New Year. The small dining room fills fast and gets loud on weekends.
Family-run for over a decade; mix of trolley-style and a la carte yum cha service; lion dance performances for Lunar New Year; large shared tables for family gatherings and celebrations.
Reviewers repeatedly praise it as some of the most authentic Hong Kong-style dim sum in Melbourne, with traditional preparation and setup.
Split opinion. regulars say the quality justifies higher-than-average yum cha pricing, while others report bill shock from no printed prices and mains running $38+.
