About Yuyin Chinese Cuisine

Yuyin Chinese Cuisine delivers bustling Southport yum cha anchored by freshly steamed dim sum and unhurried pots of tea. Diners tick off paper checklist menus rather than chasing down roaming carts—sending steamers of har gow, meaty siu mai, and seared turnip cakes directly to tables piping hot. Big round tables take on family feasts of roasted duck, beef hot pot, and quail. Steaming pots of fragrant Tieguanyin oolong keep the meal grounded from the first basket to the last sweet bite of pan-fried water chestnut cake.

  • Made-to-Order Dim Sum: Patrons tick choices on paper order sheets, ensuring steamers of har gow and buns arrive directly from the kitchen piping hot.
  • Featured Tieguanyin Tea: Yum cha services pour fragrant Tieguanyin oolong instead of standard commercial house tea.
  • Bustling Group Feasts: Spacious dining rooms easily host large banquets with roasted duck, beef hot pot, and classic share plates.

Why Choose Yuyin Chinese Cuisine

Why diners choose Yuyin for authentic Cantonese dim sum, group feasts, and quick lunches.

  • Made-to-Order Dim Sum

    Steamed and pan-fried classics are freshly prepared to order rather than circulated on carts, arriving piping hot to the table.

    You order from the menu rather the cart, but that just means what you order comes out fresh and hot.

  • Curated Specialty Tea Selection

    Yum cha service features specialty Tieguanyin oolong tea, demonstrating exceptional attention to classic dining tradition.

    A big shoutout as well for serving Tieguanyin as their Chinese tea. It’s much harder to find than your usual Chinese tea and really shows the dedication they put into the overall yum cha experience.

  • Banquet Hosting for Large Groups

    Large gatherings and corporate dinners receive attentive, full-table banquet dining that makes group occasions effortless.

    Recently I went for dinner at Yuyin with a large group of colleagues. Dixon and his team looked after us like we were royalty - from the service to the food, it was 5 star!

  • Fast 10-Minute Takeaway Meals

    For diners on the go, lunch favorites and takeaway meals are prepared rapidly within a 10–15 minute turnaround.

    Huge selection whether you’re dining in or grabbing take away, and their quick takeaway meals are unreal. You’re looking at about a 10–15 minute wait max, and for under $20 it’s a steal if you want something fast.

Before you head over

Practical dining tips for your yum cha and banquet visit

  • Order via the checklist menu

    Dim sum here is made to order via a checklist menu rather than wheeled around on traditional carts, meaning dishes arrive hot and fresh all together.

  • Visit during off-peak hours

    Yum cha gets bustling and noisy during peak weekend rushes, so plan for an off-peak slot or late lunch around 2pm for quicker service and a calmer table.

  • Park at Australia Fair Metro

    Convenient multi-hour parking is available right within Australia Fair Metro, keeping your visit hassle-free rain or shine.
