    I had my reservations about the food at Sky Phoenix so when I was invited there for a wedding I didn't rule out the idea of needing a Maccas run at the end of the night. FOOD Thankfully I was wrong about the food. It was all served efficiently in individual portions and tasted pretty good to me! The girlfriend sitting next to me happened to be chosen as the 'head' of our table. Everytime a new dish was to be served the waiter would come and show her the dish in full seeking her approval before the split it into individual serves. Each time she just nodded not knowing what else to do. I really wanted her to shake her head in disapproval to see what would happen. OTHER POINTS Sky Phoenix did well to fit 180 guests in half their restaurant as well as fitting in a small dance floor. It was a bit awkward though when the music came on and the lights up the front were completely turned off. By the time the cake was served everyone was quite full that at the end of the night I just saw them throwing out the slices of cake. Mass wastage of wedding cake. So super sad. Asian me wanted to get out my plastic container and take the wedding cake home to eat for the next week. Unfortunately for me I'm not that Asian and don't carry around plastic containers for such situations. OVERALL Not a bad location for a smaller Asian style wedding. If you were to rent out the whole place it would be in a weird backwards L shape though.

    I had been here a few times before but haven't reviewed this restaurant till now. Located on the sixth floor at Westfield Sydney. We came here for a work function. There was copious amounts of food ordered and well and truly more than enough for us to eat. We got a large variety to share so got to try everything. The food was piping hot and it was all so tasty. I was pleased we got everything fresh as at so yum cha restaurants you can tell if they had been circling around for too long. We were looked after by Ling and she was excellent!

    Yes it's a big poor fly inside! Extra flavor uh?

    This was the second time I eat here. It's unique how they serve the food, but I don't understand why the waitress always speaking Chinese when they serve the food. Anyway the thing was that one of my friend unfortunately found a fly inside one of the most delicious food they have there, yes!! I'm not joking! It was exactly a fly! We can even see the eye wings n legs! The lucky thing was that she just had a little tiny bite as she love eating slowly n enjoying the food n suddenly she was speechless until she nudging me without saying any word n just show me what she just found on her food, hahaha but it was a funny moment but creepy as I could clearly seen a fly! Lol Well, I have no idea how a fly flew into the kitchen n got cooked, wondering how they maintain the hygiene in the kitchen hmm.. N the last is about how impolite the manager was!! Seriously, He didn't even say a word sorry, well I didn't ask but he should know what to do n treat the customer. As some people next to us was looking at us n kind of giving a sign to my other friend that if something is wrong with the food, the manager suddenly ask my friend who was holding the food to pull it down so that everybody can't see n took it from my friend's hand n went away to the kitchen without say ANYTHING! n just grab the bill crossed out that particular food n that's it yes that's it! We still need to pay the bill for other food, well that's fine but we are customer, at least they say sorry to us as customers so that we understand but nah. Since that time we stopped eating there. If I'm such a person, i will definitely sue them. Oh well it's not all about the food but attitude n nice service.

    Love love love Phoenix Yum Cha. Always great service and gorgeous food. Mango pancakes are a go at the start and end of the meal hot and fresh food makes a nice change from food courts and people. The space is a nice quiet break from the city rush.

    An upmarket yum cha restaurant for the business crowd. The yum cha trolleys keep coming, not the most adventurous that you might find, but the food is always well done. It's a good option for going out with a group of colleagues for lunch, but likely feeling the competition from New Shanghai down below.

Came Sunday at 9:30, already a quarter full. I had har- gow, chicken feet, trip, lotus leaf sticky rice (lo mai gai). The chicken feet were perfect and the har-gow full and plumb with shrimp. I like the way they do the lo mai gai. Smaller portions, devided between 3 wrappers instead of the usual 2. So you get more filling to rice ratio. Plus they wrap the race in parchment paper before wrapping in the lotus leaf, so it's much easier to peel apart. The trip was a little disappointing however. The flavor was very good but good, but should have been cooked a bit longer, as some of the pieces were still quite chewy. I patiently waited for the egg custard to come out, as they were still baking them. Worth the wait, they were perfect! Light flaky crust, and perfectly light and tender egg custard. Plus, they were the "normal" palm size tart...not those mini ones, that many places switched to, to save money. Honestly, these were the best I have had anywhere! As I was leaving at 10:45, the place was buzzing and almost full. They were also bringing out many more items, such as stuffed bell pepper (with shrimp) and stuffed egg plant (with pork). They also had special carts that would make stir fry noodles or steamed vegy at your table. Makes it feel like Hong Kong, which was the last place I saw these, in the early '90s.

Our waitress was a super disappointed we came in right at opening: 9am and was muttering how inconvenient it was we decided to eat so early to her coworker in Cantonese not knowing we could understand her. We are used to big crowds and long lines by opening at our dim sum places so we came in early to beat the crowd. Kitchen took almost 45 mins to prepare our beef noodles and it was a total disappointment. Kitchen is super slow and did not have anything other than a few items by opening. We wanted egg custard to finish our meal and was informed it would take another hour before they would be ready. I guess things are cooked fresh on the day which is good but shouldn't it all be ready by the time you open? The little old ladies pushing the cart were very nice and polite. Ambiance is your typical big city Chinese place.

We also ordered two bowls of their famous chicken corn soup and in all reality, one bowl was sufficient enough to share between two people. It was hot and delicious. Main entrees included a black pepper steak which came out sizzling on a platter and reminded me of beef fajitas & pork with vegetables and chow mein noodles.

There's a wide variety of food options, so there's something for everyone. Presentation of all the food was great and gave the feeling of authentic dishes. Service was fine, a little slow. It was a busy night, so we had to wave them down, but they also have one of those robots that brings the dishes to your table.

    Lynn was a huge letdown for me. The reviews were very positive, the prices were reasonable, and the…read moreportion sizes seemed fair. Maybe we visited on an off-night? The restaurant had no more than four parties when we arrived for a late dinner on a Monday night around 8pm. Then again, Lynn isn't very easy to spot if you're strolling along Castlereagh St, which may explain the emptiness. It's pretty standard to order xiao long baos at a Shanghainese restaurant. So of course, we got one order of #701 XLBs, along with #801 Shanghai Noodles with Shredded Pork and Vegetables and #805 Vegetable and Pork Wontons in Noodles with Hot and Spicy Sauce. The XLBs weren't amazing. The pork meat was bland, and the soup was very light and not as flavorful as I hoped. However, the skin was perfect: delicate and thin, yet sturdy enough to hold the meat and soup, and it had good texture. The Shanghai noodles weren't special either. I liked the variety of veggies and pork, but the dish overall needed more salt as it was tasteless and lacked any depth. The wontons and noodles in a hot and spicy sauce was a very heavy dish. Noodles had a very thick, starchy texture. Wontons were generously stuffed with a large amount of filling, mainly shredded vegetables because I didn't taste the pork, and the skin was too thick and chewy. The sauce was extremely spicy, and it irked me when we weren't automatically given water refills when our glasses were clearly empty. Lynn is a huge restaurant, so it can accommodate large groups. It's also very clean and modern. Service wasn't rude, but they certainly weren't attentive either. The only reason we tried this place was because they had a takeaway menu available at our hotel. The menu looked promising, but after dining here, we left unimpressed.

Well, as much as I like the dumplings at DTF, I don't think they're THE BEST EVER...and not for the price you pay. So I started a search on other soup dumplings in the city and came across Lynn Shanghai, as it opened up relatively recently. The place is a little hard to find, the sign is small and it's actually inside a building so you have to walk through a lobby to get into the restaurant. The building is located next to the Scientology building (why, I don't know) and that's all you need to know to find it. The place is a lot bigger than anticipated, and there's an open kitchen so you can see the dumplings and food being made. The chefs all wear masks so you can feel relieved you aren't getting stank breath on your food. The menu is rather extensive and offers all sorts of cuisine from Shanghai, but I came for the dumplings. Pan fried and steamed please. For $8.80, you get 6 dumplings...not the cheapest but cheaper than DTF and just as good...if not BETTER. Seriously, I don't know what the fuss is about DTF, the dumplings are pretty small and while tasty, they're not that tasty. There also isn't much of a wait for this place as it's still relatively new, so if you're feening for some soup dumplings and don't want to queue at DTF, this is the place to go. I haven't been back to DTF since.

The place is standard yum cha, with a decent variety of noodles, buns, dumplings, and dessert buns. I will say, this place doesn't have some of the more traditional dishes like chicken's feet, possibly because it sees a lot of Caucasian customers? BBQ pork is probably the most common filling in their dishes, which I can't complain about because my taste buds aren't that adventurous when it comes to Chinese food. Service is okay, and the restaurant has a beautiful view of the water. If my husband and I are in the mood for yum cha, this place is definitely in the running.

It was pretty standard yum cha, had some nice haw gao, scallop dumplings, noodles with prawn, chinese broccoli with oyster sauce. Might have ordered too many dishes, because we were stuffed. With most Chinese places (I'm Chinese so I'm not being racist), the service was a bit average. Not the friendliest people but that's to be expected. In the end, the bill was $60 for two people. Great place for yum cha, but go early!
