Tea House

Sadly, inedible. Just had the fried egg noodles with chicken. It looked pretty good when it arrived, but tastes horrible - the chicken and vegetables were swimming in this claggy thick syrup-like goo that had absolutely no taste whatsoever. It it what I imagine cornflour and water would taste like - not the marinade/sauce you want. Went straight in the bin - $22.50 I'll never get back :(

Our ultimate go-to yum cha place, after trying out a number of well known yum cha places. Tea Garden is more like a boutique restaurant with nice and bright setting. Being a Cantonese, it’s fair to say that foods at Tea Garden are consistently great (not like other yum cha places whose foods are oily and heavy). Two of my young kids enjoy the foods too. Highly recommended!

This little gem tucked away in a corner of a major intersection in Chadstone/Oakleigh is worth a visit. If you want to snag a parking space, then maybe come for an early dinner. The food is really good, but parking can be a problem. I've been several times over the years here, and the food is always consistently good and satisfying. The service is sometimes a little slow and not always do the meals come out at the same time. There has been a time or two in the past when one person at the table was forced to eat ahead of the others because their meals weren't out, and it kind of defeats the purpose of going to eat out together, but of late, it has vastly improved. Perhaps they've changed hands, but either way, it's definitely better than years ago (so give it another try if that put you off coming here). I usually order the Battered Chicken in Mandarin Sauce (pictured here but without capsicum, which is why it looks bare), or the Chicken Fried Rice. Also pictured here is the Deep Fried Ice Cream which I love. Not the best I've ever had, but quite good for sure. I think the pricing of the food is good, the polite - if not spotty - service is good (overall), and it's not one of those restaurants where you're rushed out of the door. If you're looking for homey/comforting Chinese food, then this is the place to come!

Was here for Sunday yum Cha... hmmmmm after sitting around 1hr waiting for food decided to leave hungry. Food is very slow to come out and lacks variety. Nice restaurant good service. “But no food one”. Highlight would have to be the liu sha bao (流沙包)... molten salted egg custard. but be prepared to wait at least 15min after ordering. Everything you order requires min 15min. I can’t remember the last time I was here ... it’s probably better that way...
