New Royal Garden - Kurunjang

Have been going to this restaurant for years for Yum Cha. Always enjoy the varieties they have, probably one of the best in south-eastern suburbs. The owner comes around to ensure everything is ok and that makes us feel welcome. Could suggest the ladies pushing the trolleys (yum cha) could smile a bit more and be more patient. But overall an enjoyable place to have yum cha!

Your regular yumcha fare, you've got all the favourites, some good some bad. The positives are that the dim sum are large and plump with filling, dishes with prawns had a nice bouncy consistency. Enjoyed the pork dishes also such as their siu mai. A favourite of mine was the fried taro puff with prawns, crisp and still hot.<br/ <br/ What we didn't enjoy was that a few of our dim sum wrappers just fell apart such as everyone's favourite har gao. Nothing worse than picking up the pieces. The chicken feet were a bit one dimensional, some chilli or black bean would have made it nicer.<br/ <br/ Overall great ambience, not the first time and won't be the last. Pricing was great, we spent around $30 per person and were absolutely stuffed. Can't say I remember the dinner experience here but it was decent. As I walk out I see someone with golden custard buns. Damn I always forget to get them!

Came here Saturday night, ordered beef brisket Claypot and bean curd with seafood clayton with rice. Took around 8 mins for the waiter to give us menus and the wait time for the dishes was longer than usual as it was a busy night with several other large tables. It was a bit disturbing to see an ant on the dish after we finished the prawn crackers though. Taste of both claytpots where very nice, flavours as I like them to be and the two of us finished all of course we were super full. Had water melon and dessert to finish off with. Generally flavours of dishes is very good here, service today was not as good though.

FAST Food Review: New Royal Garden in Mount Waverley <br/ <br/ FOOD: Yum Cha here is fabulous with a good range including Ginger Prawn Dumplings, Chive Dumplings, Egg Tarts, Fried Radish Cake, BBQ Pork Buns, Eggplant with Tofu, Yam Cake, Pork Spare Ribs and if you are adventurous Braised Chicken Feet. Dinner menu is pretty good too. 4.5/5<br/ <br/ AMBIENCE: Even when it’s busy you feel there is ample room for you to have your own space and not overly noisy that you can still have a quality conversation with your family or guests. 4/5<br/ <br/ SERVICE: Best Service I have experienced at a Yum Cha restaurant, which usually does not prioritise polite service. From the Manager to the Staff, they are all very courteous and friendly. 4.5/5<br/ <br/ TOTAL: 13/5<br/ <br/ Top Tip: Request the dishes you want so you don’t have to wait for the specific carts to arrive, which could take awhile. Also book ahead on the weekend so you don’t have to queue up. <br/ <br/ #yum #cha #chinese #syndal #lunch #dinner #fast #food #review #bbq #pork #bun #service #ambience #friendly #ginger #eggplant #radish #tofu #chicken #feet #cake

The last time I came here was many years ago and then the yum cha was ok but not excellent. The place was fairly unclean and a little run down.I went back today for yum cha and the improvements are outstanding: very busy but clean, pleasant ambience, prompt and kind service and really nice food, with a proper variety. I was certainly impressed and I will go back very soon. I would advise to book, to avoid queing for a while.
