fun and excellent value
One of the widest selections of yum cha dishes in Melbourne. You get better service if at least one of you speaks Cantonese, but don't let that put you off. At lunch-time there is a constant stream of trolleys passing by your table, and you'll have a waiter ask you every few minutes if you would like to try a new dish.

If you've never had yum cha before, a quick explanation: you order as you go direct from the trolleys, which contain small portions of many different dishes. The more people in your party, the more fun it can be as you all order and sample different dishes.    [01 Dec 1999 21:04:22]

Good food
I agree with Lisa. Definitely good value - I am a Chinese and was impressed by the variety and quality of the dim sum served at Shark Fin House. The service is good and the food is great. Prices are reasonable.    [31 Jul 2003 21:25:41]

What about dinner there?
I've been there several times. I love yum-cha for lunch. Just wondering any opinion for the dinner there? Anyone know how much the average price per person for dinner is and if it is good. Thanks.    [12 Jul 2005 23:56:58]
