Was extremely disappointed with the food and service quality, food options for yum cha had rotations only for deep fried things and dumplings with no stir fry veges in the time we were sitting to eat. The servers wouldn’t explain what options they had on their trays and even when we asked, we’d get a mumbled response which we couldn’t understand. I specifically asked for some plain steamed rice as they said they had no fried rice options and one of the servers said they have plain steamed rice, only to be brought some sticky rice that had squid hidden in the middle with miscellaneous bits of meat that we weren’t made aware of and only noticed as I checked to spoon some rice out. When the server came back he said you’ve eaten it so you have to pay but we hadn’t eaten any of it and advised them it wasn’t what we ordered, that it was opened out of its leaf wrap to see what it was and the server responded by walking away without resolve so we paid for it any way even though we didn’t eat it. Would not return again, so many other good options and this could not compare.

Food was OK. We love it. Dim sum was great.

2022: Arguably the best yum cha in Wellington. Been going here for over a decade, and it's been the most consistent on all levels.

The food was great! My boyfriend and I ordered 2 courses Peking duck and two small soups. They were really tasty. It’s a shame that we couldn’t finish all everything as there were so much to eat. The portions would be perfect for 3 people.

Food was average but quite expensive for the amount that you got on each plate. We ordered a starter and 3 dishes and paid $180… way too expensive for the food we ate considering it wasn’t really that tasty. Service was fast and food came out quickly but this place is much better during their lunch service. Stay clear of their dinner.

Food was excellent and plentiful. I ordered in advance, staff were very helpful. The group next to us was very noisy, would like to have been seated further away from them as the restaurant was not totally full.

4 stars, 5 stars for wellington standards.Most, 3/4 maybe, dishes were good (bit surprised as haven't been for years), good flavorsome taste and fresh.A few was average/poor, one they mixed some overnight ingredients with new ones which is s@$% (yes, I can tell the difference).Another dish the durian dumpling they cheated, filling is mostly cream, only some durian. Used too be all durian filling. And I thought what good value, so big, not fooling me again.The dishes ordered are not western favorites...Pricey too, $84 for 2 person!

I’ve had yumcha (dim sum) often in Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, San Francisco and New York. Outside of HK, this is easily the best or second best. Melbourne is up there too (see other reviews).Good sized portions and very reasonably priced with excellent service.The dishes are brought by wait staff on trays rather than pushed in carts so the pace is quick and food remains fresh.The photo shows 5 dishes. We also ordered a soup dumplings (they were huge, but not soupy enough!) and these were plenty for 2 pretty hungry people.We were a party of 2 and got in on a Saturday with 10 mins of opening without a booking. It started to fill up at 12 so definitely book ahead of coming around then or larger group.Will be coming back before leaving WLG to try dishes we didn’t have the space for this round!

Our favourite yum cha place and dinner place of many years. The team at regal are always so good and are are all hard working people. To all the people complaining about the prices- it’s the same at every Chinese restaurant in Wellington nowadays due to the inflation; Dragons and Grand Century are around the same price point. If you can’t afford simply don’t go out to eat.
