Shanghai Dynasty - Melbourne

The Shanghai Dynasty is a fixed price "all you can eat" yum cha restaurant. Yum cha means "drink tea" in Cantonese, you have a lot of small dishes. The food is really good. I liked the "phoenix feet" -- melt in your mouth chicken feet -- especially. If you're not into chicken feet, there is lots more to choose from. The price includes tea, soy milk and everything else. We did show some restraint, but we ate a lot, and the price came to less that $60 for two. The restaurant is upstairs, first level of 206 Bourke Street, Melbourne.. It is best to make a booking, the restaurant can get very busy.

The food was 100% fresh and perfectly cooked, our snow crab was full and juicy the lamb so tender you didn't need a knife and the abalone just delicious. The decor was beautiful and the staff pleasant but the staff could be a little more attentive eg, clear our plates, top up our drinks and speak English a little better so the communication when ordering is a little easier especially anyone with any allergies. But over all an enjoyable time a little expensive so it was a nice treat out.

Food was awful, Service was shocking Waste of money, time and energy. We actually kept the leftovers as evidence in case we got sick (you can imagine how bad it was)

Impressive decor ,huge restaurant on 2nd floor target centre. Tried yum Cha, reasonable choice but little vegetarian. Pleasant service and enjoyable food at very reasonable prices . Worth a visit . Will return for dinner .

Went there for lunch/dim-sum. Unsure what to expect but it was easy to find however, the inside of this restaurant is positively palatial. Food service was efficient, the food sumptions, the prices are moderate with the overall experience top notch!
