Andy’s Yum Cha

This place has the best Yum Cha. Highly recommend it. Very fresh and good quality food. Service is good. The place is tiny though and your better off booking to be safe. Take away is very popular. You have to try this place YUM!

This place is like my dining room away from my dining room. We eat here all the time and take local and out of town friends (now they’re requesting that we take them there!). The food is always delicious and the staff are lovely (one even ran down the street after us when I left my bag once). The food is very affordable, even with the $ 20 per person minimum spend on Friday and Saturday nights. If you haven’t already eaten at Andy’s, why not? If you don’t go back after trying it then there must be something wrong with you!

Yum cha is the art of grazing yummy Chinese food whilst drinking tea. The traditional yum cha is served between the hours of 11am– 3 pm. You can call it the Asian’s answer to brunch.
The best thing about yum cha is eating small portion of everything your eyes desire. Dumplings, steamed and fried, and delicacies of all sorts (tried chicken feet yet?) are wheeled around in trolleys in yum cha establishment all around town. And you can try ask the lovely trolley pushers what’s inside those steaming buns in their bamboo steamer, but 8 out of 10 times you’re better off just taking a bite and trying them yourself.
The worst thing about yum cha is that you can only eat them during the above mentioned hours.
An day’s yum cha is the ONLY place around Melbourne (and Sydney) where you can get yum cha for DINNER!
That’s why I like it :) it may not be the best yum cha or most variety or even friendliest but at 7 pm, this is literally the only yum cha in town.
They are happy to do BYO, there’s a store around the corner for this, and bookings will require minimum $ 20 spend per person.
