David's

Absolutely loved the experience! Will definitely be coming back!

Excellent food; fabulous service; very tasty cocktails

Ambience and venue were amazing.

Food overall good, perhaps some vegan dishes could have more flavour.

Service at the beginning was slow (took 30 mins for first dishes to arrive). But service following was good.

I will definitely want to come back to try the other set menu.

Had to wait outside for 10 mins so was close to 9 pm before service commenced.
Very very noisy and chaotic.
Food was ok ... nothing special like it once wAs.
Staff worked very hard and did their best.

Rather disappointing way to spend a special occasion.

Fantastic food and service as always! We will be back.

We were rushed out of the restaurant to finish our meal by 8pm. As it was difficult to find a park we only had 70mins to eat our meal with guests who had heard of Davids but were also disappointed. Was also overcharged on previous visit.

Amazing food, great value, helpful staff and overall incredible experience & service.

Great food. Great cocktails. Service was, at times, average

I was very disappointed given David’s reputation. The experience was not overly enjoyable, the food came out very quickly one after the other we felt were rushed, we were herded in and herded out like a production line within an hour and a half. We had not even finished our final glasses of wine when we were given 5 min call to exit. I expected better quality from the menu also. While some of the dishes were lovely, like the beef and black bean and dumplings, others were worse than poor, the popcorn chicken was cold and dry, bananas fritters were brown and almost spoiled when they came out - inedible. For Mother’s Day I was disappointed.

Great food and a fantastic way to celebrate mothers day.

Fantastic customer service, incredible fresh, hot and perfectly cooked food!
My family and i went to unlimited yum cha on saturday at 11.30am.
1 star was deducted for:
- food did not begin arriving until 11.50am (despite a strict 11.30am seating)
- first courses arrived very slowly (you cannot re-order until the 6th/7th course)
- noise level was at shouting level but that isn't the restaurants fault
- XLB pastry too thick

Everything else was incredible and i would be happy to recommend this place to anyone who is trying asian food for the first time

Great food and service but they are misleading about being an "all you can eat" restaurant, because we asked for more of the chocolate dumplings but they said no, even though it's on the all you can eat menu. I would recommend they stop being an all you can eat place, because I don't thing they want to be.

A great place for a delicious family meal with great food, service and ambiance

Delightful and delicious yum cha. Excellent service. Extraordinary value for money.

Fantastic food and good value for money. Hidden gem of Melbourne

First time there food was delicious staff friendly will definitely recommend venue to others.

We arrived at 6 and were under the impression we would have tons of time to sit and enjoy the ambiance of the venue. Our meals were brought out instantly and didn't stop coming , giving us no real chance to enjoy and talk.
The food itself has sadly gone downhill since we last visited. It just tasted mediocre and for some reason much more westernised and bland.
We fell in love with the chicken ribs we tried the first time the restaurant came out of lockdown but this time they were bland and tasteless.
The wait staff seemed to be under pressure to just get people in and out as fast as possible. Can't blame them for bringing things out faster I suppose.
Guessing this place just went under a management change. We won't be back again sadly.

Love this venue, the atmosphere, the staff and the food - thankyou for having us!

Beautiful and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy some delicious yum cha dishes. Cocktails were also tasty and well-matched to the food.

Well orchestrated food and friendly Miranda made us feel most welcome. Would return again

David’s had a lovely atmosphere. The staff were very nice. The only thing is the wait in between your meals and at the end when we had the chance to reorder it felt rushed and so we didn’t get to enjoy the food at the pace that we wanted to.

The food was lovely but nothing super spectacular from our experience.

Amazing food and plenty of it! Will definitely return

We gave David’s a second chance after COVID, but it is no longer a special occasion. Despite not being full , we were seated in back corner facing the wall. Food was rushed out too way too fast , with dishes getting cold before we had begun the previous one. The menu not like the David’s of old. Sadly it is no longer a special occasion, we won’t be back , l miss how wonderful it was , we had years of delicious meals with impeccable service.

I would definitely come back, such amazing value for money and lovely staff!

High recommend!!

A pleasant lunch thoroughly enjoyed by my friend to celebrate her 70th birthday delicious food a lovely glass of wine and good conservation which we have missed in the last year

This time around yumcha experience was totally different to what I was familiar David’s was famous for in the pass. The varieties weren’t as much as before, and they no longer bring around each dish and serve it to your table (maybe because of covid). Rather individual plates were brought out from the kitchen, as a result of that the service was slow and haphazard. I think they shouldn’t advertise themselves as “unlimited” anymore. Compared to the past experience where u can keep asking for more or ask for more than a piece of dumpling, now the service allows u to do an “once off” order only after all the savory yumcha dishes have been served. Don’t think we will return for this experience anymore. For $110 for 2 person, u will get more quantity of food in high end yumcha places across town.

I have ordered from David's during 2020 but only via Providoor so I knew the food was fantastic but eating in the restaurant was even better. Amazing food complimented by a wine from my favourite winery (Soumah)! Service and atmosphere perfect to top it all off.
Highly Recommended and cannot wait to go again soon.

It’s honestly the best place , the price is worth it staff are lovely and helpful

We went David’s for my partner’s birthday and loved it. We had unlimited yum cha but there was a big variety of dishes, we didn’t even consider re-ordering. We were already full with the first round. Definitely good value for the money. Staff was very friendly and caring. Would visit again and again.

The food is great but the 'unlimited' claim is cheeky as they serve extremely slowly until you run out of time to order more. It's really more a set menu with seconds.

This was sensational, the only thing that was better than the food was the brilliant service. Would 10/10 recommend.

What’s happened to David’s?? It’s normally buzzing with people and action. On Thursday night it was empty with 3 tables. So disappointing. No atmosphere at all.

A la carte not offered yet so fixed choice yum cha only of classics. Limited to 2 hours

Amazing venue and set up - the food was delicious - can't wait to go back.

A great restaurant with outstanding dumplings. Good service too!

David’s Restaurant is and always has been a family favourite for Yum Cha.
They never cease to amaze us with their amazing variety of food and quality service. Food is always delicious! Can never get enough of their white chocolate dumplings. Staff are always so friendly and very attentive. I look forward to our next return.

awesome yum cha! so good we missed the first quarter of the footy as we could leave. some delish wines to go with it. always lovely to visit davids.

First time diners at Davids and we were not disappointed. The all you can eat Yum Cha was great value and the courses were beautiful. The wine list was great, in fact the whole dining experience was wonderful. We cannot wait to return with family and friends next time.

We had an absolutely gorgeous lunch. I had the veggie set yum cha menu and the fried mushrooms were an absolute highlight !! Definitely coming back soon

Best restaurant I’ve been too recently. Recommending to family and friends
