actually the Jade {something} at Sky City Auckland is pretty good, also no rush, also they can validate your parking at Sky City down to $5. ask when you pay your bill.

I couldn't tell you the name of our favourite in Wellington - there's a pandora bakery on the corner though and it's not from from st James theatre

Actually this reminds me, I'm off to Wellington for WOW in October - good idea for lunch on Sunday I think

Two for Big Thumb on Allen St in Wellington. They do yum cha every day. by menu during the week and on the big trolleys on the weekends. Reasonably priced.

I think that's the Regal. It used to be a lot better imo, but as another poster mentioned, often near cold food goes around, and they are very slow on filling the tea pot.

Its probably a couple of years since I was there when daughter was still at uni down there but lots of Chinese families eating there which I think it always a good sign

The Asian Wok at Browns Bay has great Yum Cha-place is always full of Chinese,which Chinese friends assure me is a GOOD sign

Google tells me it was actually Big Thumb - it was very handy for everywhere else we needed to get to on the Sunday as we went from there to the St James Theatre for the ballet

Agreed, Any place that the Chinese go to in great numbers has to be a very good indicator.
Cheers.

They make their money on overcharging.
Dragons love giving you things you don't ask for or need and then charging you for them e.g. Chinese tea.

i think that is standard at a Chinese restaurant

I don't think I had yum char there before, but we had eaten there and it was very good. some years ago now too.
