Emperor’s Table

The best yum Cha north of the bridge.
While the surroundings are tired and the venue so daggy it’s hip again (an RSL? Really?) the welcome you receive is warm and the food excellent.
Steamed BBQ pork bao is the litmus of every dumpling house and here is no exception — soft, fluffy bun, moist and salty-​sweet filling. The mango pancakes are also excellent — sweet insides wrapped around by delicate, paper-​thin yellow pancakes.
Only negative is the chilli sauce — it has no heat (obviously aimed at an elderly, gweilo patron). Ask for XO sauce, chopped chilli in soy sauce or chilli oil instead.

Located inside a club, you have to be a member to come in or visitors can come in with their passports. Not exactly sure what their membership rules are.
They have a Large Sign for dress code in order to gain entry. The door staff are very nice and pleasant processing you through the door before you can go upstairs to the restaurant.
The serving staff are very nice and friendly, and they bring the dishes around for you to choose from.
You have a great view of the water from the window.
We ordered the usual fare, BBQ pork bun, Sticky Rice, Sui Mai, Shrimp Dumpling, Rice Noodles, Chicken Feet, Egg Tarts.
They charge tea per person, but will be waive based on the staff’s discretion.
Coming from Vancouver, the quality of food is just average, nothing really amazing.
Price wise, it was expensive, for 10 people, eating the same items in Vancouver, this meal will be about $ 80, whereas in AUS$ over 200 dollars.
If you want Free Wifi, you have to go downstairs to the office and ask for a code, which only lasts 30 minutes.
We come here more for convenience as they have easy access for handicap restrooms for my 97 years old grandmother.
