Recently visited Little Canton after they moved to a new location, and the food is still just as good as before.
The new space is bigger and more spacious, perfect for family gatherings or weekend yum cha.
The chili oil was super fragrant, the egg tarts were crispy and flaky, and the siu mai were not only delicious but also creatively presented. And much more. Everything tasted fresh and well made.
Definitely one of the best yum cha spots in Adelaide. Will be back again!

Overall, the food was quite nice except for the XO radish cake and yam puff. The XO radish cake was a bit too soft inside that it felt abit watery, it would be nice if it was a little firmer. Maybe it was abit off due to high volume of customers on a public holiday. The flavour also wasn’t really to my liking. The yam puff just personally wasn’t my kind of dish.
On the brighter side, my friend who usually never eats porridge said the congee was “honestly kinda nice,” which says a lot!

Salted egg lava bun - didn’t get to try, sold out 😢
Portuguese tart- didn’t get to try, sold out 😢
A mate mentioned their dinner menu was also really nice, so I’d come back to try that next time. (Also the dimsum and hopefully get the salted egg lava buns too)
Overall, I liked the place. It has good vibes and atmosphere, and is quite a solid spot for dim sum.

Best Cantonese food in Adelaide! Love how tender their empress chicken is. Soy sauce fried egg noodle is another favourite! Can’t wait to try their peking duck and yum cha.

Three of us went there for lunch for the first time as it was recommended to us and was absolutely the best Chinese food we have had for 20 years +. When we lived on the other side of town, we used to go to the Prince Room on lower North east Road. The food there was always amazing, the menu extensive and this was equally as good. Truly delicious food and the best fried rice I think I’ve ever had, so thank you so much. We ordered a lot more that we could eat because I wanted to try several things & knew I would be able to take whatever was left home with us, so the photo is of what we took home and no doubt doesn’t do it justice. The portions were generous, the staff lovely and it got a huge tick from all of us. Definite 5 out of 5 and would absolutely recommend everyone to try it.

Went there for a second time with family and we all loved it. Great food, lovely people.

Gone upmarket from its old home. Decent dim sum. The mango pudding is no recommended. Too much milk; doesn't look appetising either. The squid is tasty but a little over cooked as it was quite rubbery.
