Their cow tripe steamed was cooked well and flavored tenderly nice! Shrimp roll was not too doughy textured, but on point. Steamed egg roll was sauced up and filled up nicely. The decor and service of this place could have been better. Hot sauce lacked the chili peppers and they didn't have my hot mustard that I tend towards these days instead of hot sauce! Other that that, spot on place for good dim sum in this part of town!

The four of us got the full roasted duck, fried rice, roasted pork, shiu mai, and shrimp dumplings. I will start by saying that this restaurant was really expensive, even the green beans were almost $50NZ so just be weary that you will spend a lot here. However, the food was amazing! Roasted duck: definitely the highlight of the meal. For $80 NZ, I felt like it was the best value for the price. Super tender meat, great texture on the skin, and wonderful taste overall Fried Rice: Great base for all of the other dishes. Also came with a spicy chili oil that put this dish over the top! Roasted Pork: I personally wish the skin was a bit thicker and crispier but my friends all thought it was good. There were also complaints about the pork being relatively fat heavy, but I thought it was a great balance. Shiu mai and Shrimp dumplings: Pretty basic but still delicious! Recommend if you enjoy. 1/4 of the shrimp dumpling peels fell apart when grabbing it. Overall would definitely recommend coming here for great food but expect to spend a pretty penny! All of this was about $250NZ

They are large and spacious and classy enough inside, although clearly classy from a few years ago…read moreas opposed to more recently. The outside is deceptive, they don't look nearly that large, but clearly they get big crowds and are used to it. Got there early so hard to properly evaluate service (which was excellent, even a little overbearing) as they were virtually empty when I walked in. The dim sum itself was from so-so to just okay, the har cheung fun (shrimp rice noodle roll) was a good example: skins too thick, shrimp not memorable at all. Beef tripe (ngau paak yip) is usually a pale white but well seasoned, this one was off in color and perhaps a tad over-steamed as the texture wasn't perfect. It was adequate if you need your dim sum fix.

All I can say is their Dimsum, I think, was at par or even better than what I've tried in Chinatown in CA. It tastes more like those I've had in Kowloon, HKG. Ordered the usual Siomai, hargow, adidas chicken feet, steamed ribs, tripe and all were so good!! Everything was fresh. We tried their durian pancake and it was very delicious. It wasn't as sweet but the flavors were spot on. I literally can eat more of what I tried but I was already full!' Glad that there's a good Dimsum in Auckland!!

No complaints on the tasting side, nor on the service as the girls were quick in keeping the trolleys come round as well as being pleasant and the bill wasn't too bad either.

Their menu is huge! With everything from soup to meat dishes, vegetables, rice, noodles, and dim sum, they have it all! My biggest complaint here though is the price. They have set menus for $28-45/person basically but they didn't have a set menu that had everything we really liked. But if you order off their regular menu, 1 dish was around $30 so it really adds up quickly when you order family style. As far as the food goes, everything was pretty good! We tried their wonton soup, seafood baby spinach soup, crispy roast duck, sauteed green beans/eggplant in black bean sauce, yangchow fried rice, and stir fried beef egg noodles. Luckily portions were big, the food came out piping hot, and everything tasted great! I would recommend China Yum Char to others! The food was better than expected, and service was great!
