vinh phat

heard so many great reviews, yet disappointing to see chiefs with such poor hygene. the service is not too bad yet left hanging most of the time waiting for thegoodfood as they pass the regulars most likely with the best picks. this is only bad review, although if you go, be sure you look out for what i have mentioned.

i came on thursday evening. 1:40pm table 45 two people. heardgoodthings about this place. waited 10 minutes to finally receive a dim sum and har gow. waited another 10minutes for no food trolleys to come past. asked several staff to order and they just said wait for the trolleys. i ask the man dress in white with a walkie talkie thinking he had some sought of higher ranking. completely ignored us. staff finally pushed a trolley to us we said hi and she pushed passed us to serve the bigger tables before she came back to us. no service and no regard for any customers sitting down. just care about cleaning tables and money. stood up and left. still made me try to pay when i didn’t even the food on the table 🤣

no.1 recommendation in cabramatta. it's must for yumcha. lots of people travel here simply for the yumcha. queuing can be quite long so i recommend to be prepared or arrive early. it definitely competes in quality across sydney with mango pancakes, prawn spring rolls and the classics!dinner here isgoodtoo as they provide a complimentary soup and fruit/dessert.

so i came here before with my group of friends (who were all vietnamese and i’m not) and we had the amazing food and service i loved it.
but how i was so upset this time, my friend and i who are arab we didn’t get served for so long after seating, no one came around to us, we waiting 15-20 mins after each plate!
i had to get up 4 times to ask if we can get food, in total we order only 6 dishes and then they were closing. we came 1 1/2hours before closing time mind you.

no hate but i don’t understand why people in front of us were being served and staff walking right passed us and us calling out every time. we got 4 differ people take our same order??? and never got it, and only brought one of it and it wasn’t what we ordered........
it’s was a special day and it was really upsetting because we weren’t rude, we waited and didn’t complain until we left.
i’m never come back i’ll go somewhere else, the food isn’t thatgoodto be treated like that
i understand i’m going to cabramatta but not everywhere is like this. i guest if i really have to go, i’ll have to be with my asian friends since i can’t be served👎🏼

best place for yum cha craving, price is ok.goodfood and professional service. come on a rainy day and the server already got a bag ready for us to put wet umbrella in. unlucky that it also got affected by corana virus issue so they were quite not busy these day, just a few tables on sunday. of course the number of customers really affect the food, so there was not many dishes come out on that day, btw. i always give a thumbs up for this restaurants. best food

the place is always busy during lunch time so can be some waiting time before you are seated. the food is great and fresh, the only issue i have is that if you’re seated away from the kitchen the food rotation can take quite a while before they reach you and when they do half of the food is gone. if you have the chance sit on the side where the kitchen is that way you get all thegoodstuff. other than that the food is great and price is quite reasonable as well for yum cha. would recommend to anyone.

i was recommended this place by several people forgooddim sum, it was a bit of a trek to get here but you get a real sense of asia when you arrive here in cabramatta so i thought i hope i’m in luck with some quality food.
the dumplings were tasty, the main stand out was probably the egg tarts which had a balanced ratio of custard and flakey pastry.
i would say you should dine in their earlier sessions so your favourite dishes don’t run out.

yummy fresh seafood and family restaurant. nice interiors as well. we always go here for family birthdays or celebrations. the yumcha in the morning is alsogoodwith numerous options.

delicious (!!) dumplings which had me in love. other yum cha options are a little bit limited but once you spot them and grab it, they are just asgoodas well ; keep your eye out for them

the food isgoodhere but the customer service wasn't friendly at all. one particular waitress was frowning and being very rude when we asked to order more food for the table.

hands down have never ever tried a better place for yum cha than this place. always been a loyal customer for many years, i am happy to say that this place has always beengoodand consistent. price and food quality is fairly reasonable and cheap compared to any other yum cha within the area. i am up for any suggestion on any other places that are better than vinh phat because i’m pretty set at this place !

2.5/5
expect to wait a long time for a table. once you have a table, expect to wait a little bit longer for the food trolleys to come out.
it's busy and very popular because it serves prettygoodyum cha, but i think their prices have recently gone up and i don't find it worth the money ($60 for 2 people compared to a max. of $45 not so long ago). 
i'd rather travel a bit further away (parramatta way) for yum cha for the same price and with much better service

food wasgoodbut customer service was appalling. i went there twice and it seems like the customer service is quite consistent - rude!! they rushed us to order food and was very impolite about it when we thought about ordering food again a couple of minutes earlier. they expect us to know from the top of our heads what food we wanted since we were half an hour to close and said "well you better order all now, don't order again in a couple of minutes". disgusting manners.

also, we were placed at an empty table but no carts were being pushed to us after about 3 dishes split between 3 people and i was still very hungry. how is this "yum cha" and no food is being brought over to us and we are rushed to order within the 1 minute the cart lady is standing next to our table? no patience from their employees, and no provided menus too during this "rush".

when we asked for fill up of tea they took the teapot away and didn't bring it back for a while so we had to ask again for it and when we did they rolled their eyes and didn't even apologise.

overall, the food isgoodbut i don't think i'll ever return or introduce this place to anyone because of such terrible customer service i had to experience.

don’t let the lines turn you away – take it as confirmation of howgoodthe place is. the line moves quite fast anyway and if you don’t like waiting just make sure you get there early ... if you’re in the area and looking for yum cha, you can’t do wrong with vinh phat. it’s a great place to catch up with friends or family over familiar foods done well.

first time went for yumcha and they have already become one of my favourite yumcha places. they have a very high standard of food at a very reasonable price withgoodservice. went there with a friend on a weekday around 11am, no queues whatsoever, i’m told that they get really busy on weekends.

we ordered 5 dim sum dishes and they were all delicious. we would love to try other dishes but we were already full because of the big portions. definitely will go back sometime soon. the highlights of the meal was the crispy durian cake. it was the best i’ve ever tasted. the outside was flakey & crispy and the inside was smooth & creamy with pungent durian smell. the pastry crust wasn’t greasy or taste buttery. if people like durian, they have to try. it was the perfect dessert to round up a satisfying meal. 😋
