Golden Jade Seafood Restaurant in the suburb of Eastwood is always packed, which is, an indication that it is really good.

Yep. I know that for myself. The fact that I am willing to wait 20 mins outside the door shows how much I wanted it.

Golden Jade is good for yum cha. Unlike the numerous yum cha places in Chinatown, Golden Jade is clean and the quality of their food is great. If my mum likes it, it has to be good.


I especially like their dumplings. The prawn and vegetable dumplings are neither oily or too dry, which is what I found some restaurants may over cook them or leave them out for too long resulting in unsatisfactory dumplings. These guys know what they are doing. The dumplings come freshly steamed from the kitchen and are usually quickly snatched up by those sitting closest to the kitchen exit.

I always make sure I make a special order with the waiters to ensure I get my share!

The steamed rice noodles are great too, and I can't get over their sweetened soy sauce. Why can't my mum cook like this??


The prices are not too bad either, compared to the restaurants in the city near Chinatown. After pigging out between four people we managed to keep it at $15 a head, and by this time, we weren't even considering dessert anymore. Too full.

The restaurant also does take away Chinese roasts, such as ducks, chickens and char siew pork. Buy them at the counter outside the restaurant.

Try it out if you are around the area. Highly recommended.

YUM - sounds awesome. Will save it for a small group of friends to try out but have a question for you and this just got me thinking.
I am organising my birthday party for about 30 people and want to do Yum Cha, but in Chinatown. Can u recommend a nice one there? Half my friends come from Chatswood area and half from Manly area so we are going to do Yum Cha in Chinatown followed by drinking at the Rocks so it's on train line for Chatty people and ferry for Manly people.
Any suggestions?

Jason - The East Ocean is a cheap-er option in Chinatown, and possibly with the best venue. Otherwise, the Marigold near Market City is also a good choice for a large number of people. Make sure you call to check if they take bookings, because 30 people is not an easy number to squeaze in for yum cha!

Happy Birthday by the way!

Thankyou thankyou thankyou!!
I sent enquiries to both venues.
I like the look of the East Ocean and they state seating for 400 so 30 shouldn't be too hard. I hope.
Will let you know how it all goes.
Thanks Again

I ended up booking for 60 at the Marigold. East Ocean would not do a group price on a Sunday (stupid them). They said if you want Yum Cha u all pay for yourself. Not dealing with that. But Marigold $35 a head for massive Yum Cha selection. Thanks for that!!

amy, just got back from Golden Jade - good recommendation! The food was great, the service was surprisingly efficient.

The bill was a little hefty, though, but it was a public holiday.

Eastwood!

Yeah it's not cheap, but considering it's one of the best serviced yum cha (they don't throw the food on your table) I am quit happy to return.
