Jackie's is great for yum cha

299 Queen Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000, Australia

"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

323 Rathdowne St, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia

"Great. I’ve only been to East Imperial for yum cha once but I’ll definitely be going back again. This well-decorated restaurant provides such an elegant and comfortable atmosphere that is just way ahead of ordinary Chinese restaurants like those in Chinatown and Richmond. Straightaway you feel like you have stepped into a different age (dynasty?) behind those big wooden front doors. Common dim sum dishes can all be found, with some added special dishes such as Wasabi Prawns and Spicy Calamari Tentacles. Vegetarian dishes like Spinach Dumplings can also be found on the menu. Over 100 wine, including some rare ones, and a variety of Chinese beers are listed in their comprehensive wine list, which added some extra points over standard yum cha restaurants. Waitstaffs are friendly and helpful, and food price is reasonable, given that their dim sum are more well-made than the others. A thumb-up yum cha place that Chinese food lovers just can’t miss." - Peter Chan

Southgate Avenue , Southbank, VIC, Australia

"Great. This is not a snippet from an age review or a rating based on what my ‘friend said is good’. I have eaten here. Many times. It is wonderful. I have dined with visiting businessmen from Hong Kong, China and Singapore who all positively swooned when they tasted the delightful treats at Red Emperor. Comparable to any dim sum in Hong Kong." - Adam Fitzgerald

chapel, South Yarra, VIC, Australia

"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
