Ru Yi Dim Sum

A bunch of top Brisbane chefs will happily chew your ear off about Ru Yi – Lam, Stanley’s Louis Tikaram, and The Fifty Six’s Gerald Ong among them.
This is closer to the traditional yum cha experience, but with the trolley replaced by an extensive sub-menu of dim sum, tiered in price. Dishes range from a wide variety of dumplings (prawn and chive, prawn and water chestnut, assorted mushroom, to name a few) to pork buns, steamed chicken feet with signature sauce, congee, and rice noodle rolls.
Everything is housemade, meaning the dumplings are fresh and precisely executed. Don’t be put off by the location within Calamvale Central shopping centre: the restaurant itself is a charming, comfortable little space in which to spend an hour or two. Just be sure to book because this place absolutely pumps most services.
