Maxine's Palace - Christchurch

We're fairly new customers here, after our long-time favourite yum cha haunt changed hands and menu. Glad to say we're very happy with the food here, it meets or exceeds our expectations. Well done and we'll be back again soon!

We paid $25 for a small plate at dinner time. Ordered ginger ,beef spring onion dish. They used leek in stead of what the menu said Spring onion Menus are a false advertisment. And small portions. I am ok to pay $25 if the portion was fear and have the correct ingredients stated on the menu. More business ethic

Westernised foods does not taste authentic at all, price is slightly high compare to food quality, service is slow. Very crowded, recommend to make reservation in advance. Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings) seasoning are good but the skin is too thick. Chee Cheong Fun (Rice Noodle Roll) is too thick too and the shrimps were too little, it wasn't able to absorb the soysauce to infuse it's flavouring. Xiaolongbao is disappointing, totally dry and no broth from the bun, and taste bland. BBQ pork bun is too dry, colouring and taste are way off. Overall still a good place for Dim Sum Yumcha.

Fast service, great food. Definitely will go again.

What a awesome place. Went in with a group of six and we all brought six different dishes to share amongst ourselves. Meals were perfectly cooked and we probably waited for 15 minutes before our meals arrived and it was very busy. My first time in Christchurch and this place is an absolute gem.
