    The main problem is their booking system. People still need to wait almost 1 hour before they get a table then what’s point to book in advance !

    Food was okay, a lot of dishes that should have been hot were cold. We were also charged for the wrong table. Staff weren't particularly friendly. There are better dim sum restaurants out there.

    As a regular fan of yum cha at Bright Palace and a Cantonese foodie, I must say the Dim Sum chefs are doing a great job in crafting exquisite dim sums using the freshest ingredients. I consider myself lucky to be able to taste the closest to authentic yumcha flavours right in the heart of Melbourne. Hope their new Cantonese fare at dinner can excite our tastebuds: can hardly wait!

    One of our dishes took over an hour to come even though it wasn’t a busy day.
