    Great food, attentive staff - much better in a group for yum cha. There were a few very sad looking couples just sitting at small tables on their phones and they missed the whole vibe.

    Important Update:

    Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

    We have switched to Red Emperor as our city Yum Cha place now after this initial try. Food is good quality and customer service levels are very high. Food could be less salty though.

    Fantastic service and amazing food. We had a show to get to and had arrived for our booking late. The staff were very accommodating and rushed our food out with perfect timing all while providing the highest level of service.

    The food quality was great but the waiting service staff was very poor, The wait staff were disinterested and made us feel like we were an imposition, We had a large table and had to ask multiple times for chilli sauce, limited food was bought out on the trolleys so we often had to order extra from the kitchen and we had to ask for desserts to be bought out, very ordinary

    The service at Red Emperor is renowned - anticipating your every need. The food was excellent - scallop stuffed with minced prawn, salted egg yolk prawns, flounder, snow pea shoots and eggplant and chicken mince clay pot - exquisite! Thankyou Red Emperor - a wonderful Fathers Day Feast!
