Always the best authentic Chinese dining experience. Sweet and sour fish or sweet and sour ribs so good.

2024: Still the top rated yum cha in town. Highly satisfying. 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.

When ppl ask me for yum cha recommendation, Regal is always my first choice. They have nice decent amount of fillings inside the dumplings, service with a smile, they don't charge you an arm and a leg, they don't kick you out after one hour and I think the only down side is that they are upstairs and you can't see it from the street! My favourite is their beef tendon and steamed dumplings, the prawn cheung fun has lots of prawns inside and nice squid too! Brought my picky parents here and even they rave about it, to me that's saying something 🤣 However would only recommend their yum cha, their dinner doesn't quite match 😅

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!
