This was a place that keeps popping up for dumplings. AY Oriental Tea House had the reputation of delivering high quality food in a traditional setting.In April, the restaurant went through a renovation and the end result is a move away from the traditional and a move to the "trendy".The music itself feels a big night club like on the night I was there but it all goes towards making this a new "destination" dining experience.The food has changed somewhat but many of the dishes that made this restaurant so well know are stitched up as staples.The service is friendly and it's efficient.As soon as you finish one dish, another comes out - feels like a well oiled machine to be getting this just r...

We went here for lunch on our way to the football. We were seated in the front part of the restaurant and initially there was a bit of a delay in service, however once the staff had been made aware there were tables of people sitting in this area the trays of dumplings and other food began arriving. The food was delicious and they also have interesting teas served in gorgeous lidded pottery and glass mugs - we had Oolong and Jasmine.An interesting sweet item we enjoyed was the Raindrop Cake served with fresh fruit tea syrup and roasted soy bean powder, which was a clear jelly that you inject the syrup into - fun to do and interesting to eat. Service was friendly and quick after the initial s...
This is a modern approach to Yum Cha, every dish was piping hot and freshly made (none of the old school trolleys). I tried the dumplings, pork buns, salt & pepper calamari and Asian vegetables with every dish tasting great. A funky decor with loud music makes it standout from your traditional yum cha. Of course you have to try the tea, they were happy for you to sample a few to figure out which pot to have. We enjoyed our meal so much we visited for a second time. Enjoy!
Possibly one our family favourite restaurants. This place has had a really modern makeover and we think the menu has too. Every dish we ordered was excellent. Peking duck was superb, chicken noodle delicious, fillet steak with honey and pepper just divine. Salt and pepper calamari was perfect. Dumplings are also excellent here too. Quick attentive service if you need it. Very happy Book a table now
Went for the degustation dumpling night and the food and service was great. The restaurant was full but they didn't miss a beat with great dumplings.Took the option for drinks package with the courses and wasn't disappointed with cocktails, beer and wines matched to each serve and all high quality.Left fully satisfied and look forward to when they do it again.
I took my mother there for Mother's Day and it was fantastic. Extremely busy but they still managed to give everyone attention. No long waits. Incredible food and a beautiful bar. Also, signature herbal teas that definitely make the trip worthwhile. Highly recommend it!
great Yum Cha restaurant with lovely service We had a party of four and shared plates and all dishes were fantastic. there was a great array of dumplings and variety of dishes for all tastebuds. Service was friendly and efficient. Lighting was very low.
I have eaten in many chinese restaurants but this is right up there brilliant innovative dumplings great srrvice and an interesting drinjs list which includes diffrrent teas. The deserts are intrigying and different. Highly recommended Book a table now
We had read good things about this place so decided to try it for lunch one Sunday. Service was extremely slow, music was too loud and good was average as far as dumplings go. Prices were reasonable but we won't be going back there.
I tried the noodles and the dumplings via UberEats and it did not disappoint me! The next day I popped in for lunch and had another great experience. Staff was super friendly. Will def come back!!!
