Yum cha restaurants in Wellington
Jenny
Given that the yellow pages and various search engines are hopeless, I'd be
really grateful for a list of preferably GOOD yum cha restaurants in
Wellington city, please!
I know about Hong Kong Cafe, King Wah, and the restaurant in the Olympic
building (used to be Oriental City, I think).
Are there others?
How popular are they and are bookings essential?
Please advise!
Many thanks,
Jenny.

Thanks RK, but no thanks; I should have said that I'm aware that that one
is now known as the Eastern Sunrise, and as the New Dynasty it was done for
unhygenic practises around a year of so ago... :)
Thanks all the same, though.

Jenny, we frequent Big Thumb at least once a month. I would highly
recommend them. Bookings not normally necessary.

The Eastern Sunrise is run by completely new owners that thoroughly
cleaned out the restaurant and fixed all the problems. The yum cha is
superb and the service is very friendly. I go there with a group of
friends every wednesday, I highly recommend it. Prawn Dumplings and
Spinach Dumplings are sooooo good! Bookings essential on weekends.
Or else you can go to the Regal its in Courtenay Place up above the
old McDonalds... they have good food and service too. Bookings
essential on weekends too methinks.
cheers,N

err - I hope that was not early last year! :)

Hence the nicknames: New Die-Nasty and New Dysentery
Hopefully the new owners (Eastern Sunrise) are doing a better job.

The spinach dumplings are awesome while hot, a bit funny cold. The same
with the white turnip squares. They even have chicken feet if you're
feeling brave.

Went to the Big Thumb today. Very nice indeed, $11 a head.
They ran out of pinapple buns/custard tarts <those traditional chinese
favourites!>

Thanks, Alan. In the end we didn't get to Yum Char, but at least I have a
few good recommendations of where to go. Sounds like Big Thumb is a good
place to go!
Thanks to all for responding.
Cheers,
Jenny.
