User Review | 02 Jul 2012 | Yum Cha Places:
I would never have known either until my aunty told me about it. Usually restaurants located in shopping centres aren't very good. However, East Dynasty have won the Asian Food Festival Best Yum Cha restaurant. I live about 30 minutes drive away from it but its so good that I still go there rather than all the other places nearer my house, such as
*Shark Fin in Keysborough and Burwood - flavours tailored for Western palettes
*Imperial Kingdom in Mount Waverley - not too bad but not a lot of different inventive dishes
*Gold Leaf in Springvale - Good prices and fast service but food ok
*New Royal Garden in Syndal - very cheap prices but again lacks any difference to other place
*Taipan in East Doncaster - food as someone mentioned early very oily and ultra salty, suited for Western palettes
*Treasure in Forest Hill - not bad flavour wise, service a bit slow
*Hong Kong Pearl in East Doncaster - used to be good but standards dropping, especially on busy days
*Han Palace in Vermont - also used to be good but have changed owners since and I find the standards have dropped along with the service
*Plume in Doncaster - food not that good and prices are ultra expensive
*Dragon Boat in Knox - totally awful, definitely do not go there
So of late have been going to East Dynasty the most, I like nearly all of their dishes. They do a few specialties really well such as this Taro Dumpling (fried) that has a brown crispy skin and taro and meat inside. I also love their chicken feet, if you are able to eat that. Their famous Golden Sand buns (limit of two trays per table) and the usual Prawn Dumplings, Gelatinous Rice Prawn Rolls and Fried Paper Prawn Parcels (ask for plum sauce with it). | | By WTF - 01 Jul 2013 | To the \"yumcha\" bloke above... the review is about PROPERTY, not you yumcha reviews...use Urbanspoon for that mate. | | By Reflex guru - 06 Mar 2014 | LOL.. The yum Cha review gave me a good chuckle. Seriously, I\'ve lived in forest hill for nearly 10 years & it\'s a great place to raise young children as Livingstone ps is very good & so is Vermont SC. Forest hill shopping centre has everything u need under 1 roof. Close proximity to eastern freeway & monash freeway. | | By Forest Hill resident - 09 Aug 2016 | I found Forest Hill is strategically great, as it is between Glen Waverley and Nunawading Station. I could choose a Lilydale, Belgrave or Glen Waverley train line, and take a 902 bus home easily. In term of grocery, I could also easily go to the Glen or Box Hill, or even closer Forest Hill Chase. All of them have good Asian Grocery. | | |
