This place in Reservoir holds the same quality as their Docklands restaurant.
I went there on 11 May 2014 for yum cha and nothing was oily (at lease not this time as some other reviewers alluded to). Food quality was high and for the 4 of us — it cost us a mere $ 88! I was shocked — ok pleasantly surprised that I didn’t have to get a mortgage for Yum Cha like I would have if I had ventured to Little Bourke in the city!

This yum cha and à la carte restaurant is the fourth installment to the Gold Leaf family.
Our group of four walked in off the street on a Saturday night at 8.30pm, where we were greeted and immediately seated to our table, complete with a Lazy Susan, in the most unexpected gigantic dining hall.
The menu consists of classic Chinese favourites with options plentiful, and the food was tasty with large portion servings.
The service was friendly, but there was a bit of a language barrier between orders.
There’s a lot of action going on inside this large space, with waiters and food trolleys running around left, right and centre, not to mention the restaurant itself was packed with customers, so don’t expect your dinner to be a romantic and intimate one.
Preferably, this is a good restaurant for sharing a casual, fun-​filled dinner with your friends.
Tip: Cover your eyes when you walk past the sad fish and crustaceans in the tanks.

There’s a lot to like about Gold Leaf but equally it’s difficult to sing the place’s praises from the rooftops. We’d been given the good oil on the place but perhaps my yum cha expectations are a bit higher than most.
Given that I come from NZ, where the dim sum quality is off the scale if you know where to go, Gold Leaf fell well short in terms of delicacy of flavours and textures. That’s not to say that they’re still possibly one of the best I’ve encountered in Melbourne, but it’s a bit of a statement about the standard you expect in this city.
This is a large space, with rotating chandeliers and large tables, and a bit of coolness in the food is to be expected at a yum cha sitting. In the couple of instances I’ve eaten here (one of them the meeting of my own and my partner’s parents for the first time) the food has been largely cold and disappointingly lacking in flavour.
The reality is, though, I feel like the culture surrounding yum cha in Melbourne is really just undemanding. There aren’t any quality yum cha restaurants here (I’ve tried most of them) and my gripes are no different in the higher end restaurants. So, given that the pressure’s off, maybe places like this that could be great just rest on their laurels a bit. Fire ‘em up!
