Great and authentic food, one of the only 2 places in Palmy where one can get decent Yum Cha. It gets really crowded on the weekends, especially on a Sunday. So it pays to make a reservation.
Most of the staff are quite young and that does affect the service and any feedback given is ignored. Disappointing.

Palmerston North’s best kept secret on a Sunday – Yum Cha is a definite dining experience and well worth getting out of bed for but book a table, the place gets packed! Their yum cha has all the normal offerings, very tasty, hot and portioned well. Roast duck, pork dumplings, spareribs and deep fried squid definite favourites. Lots of staff, quick and copious refills of green tea, it’s now a firm Sunday occasion with quite a group of us getting together to make it a regular weekly meeting.
During the week, Chinatown offer a buffet lunch and dinner (all you can eat) or normal menu service. The standard of food is such you can recommend without embarrassment to others – a well deserved full five star rating.
