Our third visit for yum cha in the past 6 weeks, whilst the seafood dumplings were full of seafood and great taste , 2 of our dishes were nearly cold, less than lukewarm warm, which we did not encounter on previous visits.

Great location in Malvern East along its commercial strip. Has access to parking spaces which is convenient. Service was attentive and friendly. We got the Wagyu set which had good selection of meats. As it was our first time visiting, we were unsure if it was a staff assisted cooking service. As there were no other patrons to observe, we were happy to cook the meals ourselves. Staff did check in appropriately as our meal progressed. Happy to recommend.
