"Great. I loooove my food and have had yum cha in most of the Chinese reataurants in Melbourne city and tell you what, I was so excited when I found Jackie’s – it is not just the best in the city but also one of the best in Melbourne! Enjoy my friends." - Angel Ng

"Great. This place is at the very top of my Yum Cha list." - Chris Mander
"Good. Used to be “The Black Prince” pub, a great old pre club haunt in the hedonistic days of the Nineties! Now a great Yum Cha house but also very pricey, but ohhh sooo goooood!" - Mick Van Raay
"Great. Very tasty yum cha. This place started out as a Chinese furniture store and the food came later. I wanted to lie down on the big bed on the way in.
It’s quietly tucked away down a side street off Chapel St up near Dandenong Road. Some delicious seafood dumplings. Scallops. mmmm yum! Great Sunday hangover remedy.
The staff are nice and it’s peaceful and slightly kookie." - Edward Borland
"Good. Haven’t actually been there yet but heard good things about it from friends. It has also featured in this year’s Cheap Eats guide. Here is a snippet from the review:
"Dumplings and jasmine tea make for perfect bedfellows, especially in one of Red Door’s Beijing marriage beds. Down a grungy side street, this Chinese antique store now serves yum cha and you can consummate your dim sum amid ornate bird cages and turn of the century tea chests. There are steamed buns stuffed with sweet morsels of bbq pork, spicy lamb jiao zi (dumplings) in edible translucent wrappers, and a dome of sticky rice studded with mushroom. Follow with endless pots of tea and addictive coconut custard buns that pull apart to reveal a lemon yellow colour burst. "
"Fair. ok yum cha but missing the vibe and ‘authenticity’ of traditional yum cha restaurants. A bit streamlined and ‘clean’ for me – also the meals were way too quick to come out – no time to digest in bwn!" - Rebecca Griffiths
