This is a good place for Yum Cha, but I find it very expensive comparatively. Hence it's only an occasional place for me.
Food is good

We came here for yum cha and they have a great variety of food, the yum cha is great and not one thing I tried didn't taste good, if you want yum cha this isn't one to skip, I love the desserts and wish I could eat there desserts all day :)

Good food, great service! Fantastic yum cha and dim sims! It's worth a visit. The price is acceptable. For the food, I can make a long must-try list. Service has always been good

I've eaten at Citi Zen a few times and have had a mixed experience. The first time, we really enjoyed it and found the service superb - very friendly and efficient. There was once when an order was mixed up and we were given a similar but worng dish. The wine on that occasion too was not right. Food quality twice have been average. It can be busy and it is good if you make advance reservations. Allow an extra 10 minutes to find parking as the CBD can be quite packed with cars.
They have a variety of seating arrangements to cater to couples or large groups.
The price of the food is not cheap, but is worth it on the days the food tastes good.

Approximate cost: $25

This restaurant sounds pretty good and I might give it a go when in Adelaide next. If you are out near McLaren Vale give Red Gum a try, delicious food.

We have been on a couple of occasions recently Food quality, selection and service wonderful. They have private functions rooms if you prefer otherwise a large dining area. Great wine selection. However price is not what you expect from a Chinese restaurant- I guess you are also paying for the location of being in the CBD. Parking can be difficult as its street parking only.

This chinese restaurant sounds ok, but if you really want some great chinese food, try the Red Gum in Mclaren Vale. I have never been disappointed.

Citizen is very close to where I live but I barely go there. The restaurant is big and beautiful. but the food all taste the same. We went there with 4 work mates and ordered one dish each to share, that's 6 dishes in total, and we all feel it tasted the same. the soups were good though

The food here is delicious, but the last time I came here was New year eve, and we ordered the duck banquet. One whole duck was brought to our table , the waitress cut off peking duck slices for our wraps, then brought the remaining duck inside to make the noodles and fried rice... the portion of duck in the noodles and rice was disappointing! Clearly we got jipped and we didn't get the whole duck...... other than that, the food was great.. service could be better,,

Approximate cost: $20

Came here for with a large group of people (30 plus) for a birthday dinner. They catered for our large group extremely well, with 8-10 people seated at each table. The interior design is immaculate and the endless number of dishes they brought out were all well presented and very delicious. Staff were very polite and very professional. Would definitely come back!

i made a booking for a group of 10 for my birthday. i had two entertainment cards. we ordered the duck set (peking duck and duck fried rice and duck soup over three courses) - at all restaurants, they use the entire dog over the three courses, however, we can all tell that only half the duck was used. the amount of duck in the fried rice was very little. we paid for the full duck but only got half the duck. when it came to paying, i gave them my entertainment cards and the waitress rudely said to me that i can only use one. umm, no, the rules of the entertainment card, i can use up to three cards if there are minimum 6people. i asked her to go ask her manager, and she came back to say it was "OK". i wasn't very happy with the service.

Approximate cost: $15

The yum cha (or yam cha as they say here) at Citi Zen is so awesome. I still can't decide whether I like it the most, or second most out of all the Adelaide Yum Cha.

If you arrive on a week day, you order your Yum Cha from the kitchen but on the weekend, trolleys come around. I like that better, because you can see what you might want to order and you get to choose from there.

The dumplings with coriander in them (I never know the names!) are my favourite. I also love the greens and the pork buns.

If you haven't eaten at Citi Zen, you haven't experienced some of the best Yum Cha in Adelaide!

This place is packed with people during weekends, so try to book a table if you are planning to go during weekends. The have a wide selections of the dim sum, and the taste as quite authentic as well, especially the quick sand bun, taste exactly the same as the ones in hong kong.

Always have gotten delicious food whenever we've been. The prices are reasonable. There always seems to be a lot of waiting staff wondering around aimlessly, refusing to make eye contact. Highly recommend the Sesame Beef, delicious.

As soon as I walked in I was surprised at how big the restaurant is. Very well presented and really gives you the feeling that you're eating somewhere very posh and pricey. The food was average for it's price.

This is our other regular Yum Cha spot. We usually come here or go to Ding Hao. Both are very similar when it comes to quality, price and service. They have alot of variety, which is good. The food generally is quite tasty if not cold. Price-wise, i would say fair.

Can usually rock up without bookings

Its busy so its good to book beforehand. The popular desert is the mango custard, which runs out quick! Great for a dimsum lunch, prices are alright. Like so many others, heard about this through the WOMOW grapevine, some satisfied customer reviews.. I was in

after reading the previous reviews, i became a customer tonight there.
Totally agrees with the others, the food is well presented, the service is not bad, price is little higher than other places, but worth every penny.

Best yum cha in Adelaide. I love the food, love the service, love the kiwi pudding, only place in Adelaide that makes it. My family have been going here every weekend since I was really young so we have the VIP room to ourselves most the time.

Great fine dining chinese food, with excellent location, lots of off-street parking and lovely tasting dishes. Their meal sizes are not big, but it is definitely worth it. Try out their yum cha or dinner, both of of high quality and reasonably priced.

I ate here on a Saturday lunch time and it was booked out in the main room with only some tables in the corridor available. I was pleasantly surprised that the food trays still made it all the way out to me. The food was delicious and prices very reasonable. There is easy parking at its location.

We ate here for 'yum cha' on a Sunday afternoon and it was VERY busy. We booked in the morning and there was only tables in the corridor left. The food is superb. They bring out all these different tappas type meal and you choose what you would like to eat. There are heaps of little dishes to choose from, we couldn't try every thing.
