Hung Cheung - Marrickville

My friends and I had a great time. We went to Yum Cha, and not having partaken in that experience for around 30 years, with not good memories, I was pleasantly surprised. I arrived before the restaurant officially opened, at 10am in a Sunday, expecting a queue, but fortunately for me I was first in line. The staff were courteous, the food was delicious and served hot and there was plenty of jasmine tea. I would go back again.

This is a pretty good spot for yum cha. We came here for lunch on a weekday. It was quiet and the staff were friendly and attentive. The dishes we ordered were good but we thought that the dumpling skins were a little bit glutinous, which makes the yum cha a bit stodgy and heavy! The egg tarts were quite right either the filling was good but the pastry seemed undercooked and oily. Apr 28, 2016 We stopped here for yum cha with friends on the way from the airport to the CBD because this was the highest rated yum cha restaurant in Sydney. It was lunch time on a Saturday and the queue stretched out of the door and down the street. Luckily we had made a booking so we were able to go straight in as soon as a table became available. The restaurant is quite small so there is no room for the dumplings to be wheeled around on trolleys instead the wait staff bring them around on trays. The food was good but not outstanding, the service was good and the prices were very reasonable.

There's loads of great dumpling places I visit when I can in Enmore in Newtown. Unfortunately none of them deliver to Marrickville, and on a hunt for Marrickville dumplings this is the only place I could find. I think I'll have to start travelling to Enmore as this place was not up to the challenge. I ordered the pork steamed dumplings, and went for some spring rolls and a chicken laksa. For some reason I couldn't see any other dumplings on the Uber Eats menu, a shame as I was really craving pan fried pork or steamed prawn. The dumplings were bland and unremarkable with a few inedible hard pieces in them, which I assume was fat. The spring rolls were soft when they should've been crunchy underwhelming in taste. Strangely they gave me 1 dipping sauce for both entrees, which I needed more of to give some flavour was nowhere near enough. The laksa was not that memorable, I've definitely had better in Sydney CBD Chinatown, I counted 4 pieces of chicken way too much tofu. $40 for such low quality food was a joke. There's a plethora of delicious Thai Vietnamese restaurants in this area that are delicious offer better variety. I'll be going back to that, because this place doesn't come close.

We had dinner and ordered prawn toast for entree, And mains of fried rice, teriyaki sizzling chicken and sweet and sour pork. The prawn toast was woeful and miserable and tiny for $12.50. Sweet and sour pork tasted fine but a bit on the oily side, fried rice was good but the biggest letdown as the sizzling teriyaki chicken. It was served on a normal hot plate as expected, but there was no sizzle and no teriyaki sauce or flavour. It looked and tasted dry, we even asked the waitress if there was sauce coming as the sauce is normally poured on at the table for the sizzling effect and she said no. It was a failure of a dish. Wouldn’t return and prices are not exactly the lowest for what you get either, Big thumbs down

Booked with a coupon told them up front. Drove from Blue Mountains Got there placed was packed sitting inches apart, throngs of people in doorway inside and out elbow to elbow SOCIAL DISTANCING ??!! Finally sat down and they refused to honour coupon saying chef who does Yum cha not working today !!? REALLY. were totally rude, threatening and disinterested insisting they didn't know who took my booking without even checking. We were treated differently from the second we got there, forced to wait while others arriving after us continually pushed in. Was clear they wanted the big bucks no coupons ONCE THEY REALISED THE PAY DAY ON OFFER. Demanded we order from menu which had no prices on it when I asked the prices she refused and insisted we leave giving our table to others that were obviously friends. let's just say if it was the other way round the word racist would be appropriate. We literally had to push our way out it was so crowded while staff smirked.
