    Great food all around but the chairs are really uncomfortable. The dumplings were very good and the salad had a nice hot finish.

This yum cha (dim sum) place is a fancier version of the ones that have usually been in existence in Brisbane and is packed! I met my god-parents for lunch -- there were 6 of us -- on a Saturday around 11.30am. The place was already buzzing. The booth seating is uncomfortable and awkward. We are boxed in and squished. The steamed dim sum was sub-par.... the dumpling wrappers are mushy and thick. They fell apart the minute I picked them up with my chopsticks. The har gow and the seafood dumplings -- in fact, any of the dumplings that have the same wrapper -- all possessed this terrible wrapper. I don't recommend it. Seen juk guen (beancurd rolls) were really dense with a filling that is almost completely meat and nothing else. Flavor-wise it was fine. Chicken's feet were decent, with the claws cooked to a good consistency so it fell off the bone. The fried items were much better. The woo gok filled with taro was good -- nice and crumbly on the outside and the filling a good consistency. My favorite was the fried radish cake which were little nuggets of perfectly tender radish cake fried to a crispy perfection. The crispy pork belly (siu yuk) was awful. The fat is not rendered through well enough making the pork pieces unpleasant to eat. Service is hit and miss as well. One minute someone is efficient coming around to refill water, and then, nothing even when you ask for it. Maybe I'm comparing it to dim sum places in the US, but it's weird to me that they didn't have Chinese mustard (gai lat) when my son asked for it. The one thing I love about Chinese restaurants in Australia is that they give you soy sauce with slices of hot chile peppers in them. Wish restaurants in the US would offer this to you as a regular condiment.

The service is still good & the atmosphere is great with the staff wheeling the dim sum trolleys between the tables. But I thought the dumplings were a little bit too big and tasteless.

The choices are really quite meager, as we found a few places scattered around, but none that seemed to be particularly popular. Since we decided yum cha was what we wanted, we decided that we wouldn't set our expectations very high, and just go for the best one we could find [with best being most convenient and decent]. Our search landed us in the center of Chinatown in the Valley, at King of Kings Seafood, a place pretty much the epitome of Chinese restaurants - with the live fish and the big round tables. When we got there at about 1pm, it was actually rather packed. There were groups of families - both Asian and non [I mention this because it may just as well be a gauge to how authentic a restaurant is], and the place remained busy even as we were leaving since the place serves dim sum till late. Also, because there were constantly diners coming in and out, some of the yum cha that was being reeled around was pretty fresh! The food was as expected - decent - but not great. Everything was very standard, and the cha siu pastry was not too bad, but I don't recommend the taro cake (?-), which was way too dry and didn't taste much like taro. The duck that we had was also a bit dry, which disappointed me, since duck is a very forgiving meat. Overall, it was not a bad experience, and the waitresses were very friendly, but it was a bit pricey. We got quite a bit of food and were filled to the brim, but it was a bit over $20 for each of us - and I don't know if I can get used to restaurants here charging for tea per person.

It's one of the few places in Australia where I've had what I (as an American) would consider table service. Corresponding to the service and the location, it's a bit more costly than other places I've tried, which was really my only knock against it. They've got a menu with clearly labeled vegetarian options, and if you don't want to go for the entrees, they have an extensive dim sum menu as well. The salt and pepper tofu was tantalizing either alone or dipped in chili oil (conveniently available at the table), and the tofu and vegetable dumplings were delicately made and varied in their fillings. There are quite a few Chinese people eating here, and conversing with the staff (I honestly couldn't catch whether in Mandarin or Shanghaiese). That's usually a good sign.

    Having passed this several times already, it seemed like a popular place, so we decided to give it…read morea try. We each chose a dish and got the Braised Pork Belly in Dark Soy Sauce ((18.9) with the Steamed Flour Bun (4), as well as the Leek & Garlic Stir Fried with Lamb (22.9) with rice (3/bowl). Jo was hesitant about the pork belly at first, since it's quite fatty - but I decided I wanted that, and it turned out to be quite good, besides my first piece, which was a bit dry. It tasted pretty authentic - maybe the closest I've had to authentic Chinese food in Brisbane so far, so I was quite impressed. The buns were quite tiny and a bit too chewy for my liking, but they were super cute! I think they are cloud-shaped, but correct me if I'm wrong. The lamb dish was also quite tasty - tender slices of lamb with red capsicum, onions, and leek, and the meat was tender and glazed in a hoisin (?) garlic sauce. It was a bit salty, so we got rice, but the rice was grainy and pretty terrible, and $3 a bowl. Say, what?? Yeah, no rice for me next time - I'd rather go for their other bun/wrap choices. Other than the fact that this place is a bit more pricey than other Chinese restaurant around, it is overall more comfortable (other than the really terrible acoustics) and more authentic than other places around Brisbane. There's a possibility I'd try out their dim sum sometime...

That's where I found some of my favourite Laksa. It's one of my favourite meals now. Really anything you order will be delicious. Now because the Yum Cha that was at North Lakes wasn't bringing in the customers consistently and have been taken over. Doesn't mean I won't make my way to the Myer Centre one. Because I am a uni student, and I've always been a sincerely picky eater, liking this place and having a love for this cuisine, it means a lot to me. My only pointer would be, to be patient and clear with what you want as an order, don't get annoyed if you weren't voicing what you want to the server. That's not on them entirely, it's on you too, especially when Myer Centre is bustling and rustling. Don't go off just one visit either. Order different things. Not just your usual, I get like that too, habits are deeply instilled and you can have the same thing nearly every day.

There's also congee if you're in the mood for porridge. The yum cha selection is also ample. For me, I tend to go for some of the lesser eaten stuff like beef tripe and tofu skin rolls. The fact that they actually serve such dishes in a fairly western dominated environment shows that there's likely actually some demand for their more traditionally Chinese items. The flavors are as you would expect in a fast food type Chinese restaurant. The clear soup is a tad salty but not overwhelming and but the respective meats are tender and substantial. The yum cha isn't anything to write home about but it does the trick when you've got that hankering for some solid trolley fare. Overall the food is filling and relatively inexpensive. Couple that with fast service and polite cashiers led me to give it a very strong 3 stars.

    Yum Cha Noodle Haus - Closer look at the rubber meat. They take extra care to microwave the meat before serving in order to reach it's perfect "rubbery" level.
