Hung Cheung certainly does do one of the best Yum Cha's in Sydney and it's no secret. Pop in on a weekend and expect lots of hustle and bustle. Grab a ticket inside and join the queue, the short wait is certainly worth it!
Hung Cheung is a seafood restaurant so the Yum Cha is more seafood orientated, however there is a great variety of other meals on offer.
Some of our favourites include:
Chicken's Feet
Chilli Tripe
Pork Ribs
Snow Pea & Prawn Dumplings
Ginger Tripe
Egg Custard Tart
Some of the other dishes on offer include:
- Dumplings: Spinach / Garlic Chive / Seafood Combination / Prawn
- Salt & Pepper White Bait
- Salt & Pepper Calamari
- Salt & Pepper Lobster
- Singapore Noodles
- Prawn Noodles
- Blood Jelly
- Sticky Rice
- Pork Buns
- Mango Pancakes
What sets this Yum Cha restaurant from the rest is its use of fresh ingredients. The dumplings are made fresh on site and there certainly is a large turnover of food.
Don't expect the decor of a hatted restaurant. The restaurant has recently undergone some modest renovations but could certainly do with some more loving attention.
Each of the dishes are priced based on their size. Small $4.20, Medium $4.80 and Large $5.80. Other dishes, such as their 'Specials' are around $7 - $9. Expect to pay around $15 - $20/head.
The service here is quite friendly. Should you not see the Yum Cha dish you are after or should you wish to order from the menu, don't be shy, grab a waiter and they will happily see to your request. They also have alcoholic beverages on the menu and the option to B.Y.O.
This place is great for weekend family lunches, noisy kids and those recovering from the night before. Expect nothing less than fast, tasty and great food. The dinner option of a la carte is also definitely worth a try.
