Food was extremely tasty. Ordered mud crab with 2 pieces of noodles cooked with ginger with my wife and it tasted absolutely stunning. Will come back again.
had yum cha here on the easter break with the family, there were a lot of people. booked a table, but still have to wait. but there weren't a lot of trolleys of food going around to serve the tables. i like the siu mai's dim sim.
they are busy on the weekends, as i have also been there for lunches with friends.
Gold Leaf is always busy - make sure you book or table (or try getting there when they open). The food is pretty good, and they have a decent variety of all the classic yum cha dishes.
Approximate cost: $25
AMAZING!! Always love coming here and they have a very well cooked duck. I love the food and the staff are very trustworthy and kind. Haven't been in a while but will for sure go soon.
this was my first ever yum cha and the service was disappointing - a disorganised array of staff running around the restaurant pestering you to buy everything and being a bit rude with their tone of voices as well
the dishes were okay, some seemed like just a lazy reason to add something else on the menu
overall quite affordable though given how much we've eaten, but would definitely not go back
but i have to admit the tea was quite amazing
this place is not bad for yum char. a bit too noisy and the parking is a challenge.they are usually pretty busy especially on the weekends. lots of varieties of yum char dishes
By far one of my top 5 favourite restaurants. Numerous of choices available on the menu. Good price for what you get. The staff are pretty good. It's hard for the, to respond some,times. They do yum cha during the day which is awesome.
Came here for dinner to meet an old friend family with a baby. The waiter quickly brought a baby chair and helped sat the baby in the chair. We ordered 5 dishes and were served pretty quickly. The food portions were generous. Enjoyed the food and will be back for dinner again.

The food is pricey (it is expensive compared to other places) and the service is adequate. I wouldn't really recommend this place as there are better Yum Cha places nearby.
I have been here a few times as I have had family organise lunches there for special occasions, but I will not normally eat here. I've been here a couple times when I was a younger and even this year. It is generally busy, but I prefer other restaurants.
Best yum cha in the area for sure. Lots to choose from though serving sizes is a little on the smaller side compared to other spots regardless of that very tasty. Make sure you book a table as most times it gets way too busy.
One of my favourite places for YumCha and also dinner. Prices are really reasonable. Seafood selection is also really good here. A good place for snow crab or lobster noodles. The combination seafood in a crock pot dish is also very tasty. YumCha is also great but be sure to book on weekends or you'll either be waiting at the door for your name to be called out for some time or miss out completely!

sounds delicious! i don't mind yum cha :)
I love this place, Gold leaf is really big and its food is the best! Whenever i go, i always get a table and i dont need to wait as long! Great yum cha food and also a reasonable and cheap price! The bad thing about this place is that sometimes they take too much time to get to your table and you miss out on the food and have to wait for the next round... Overall Gold leaf is a fabolous place with delish food!
The food here is really nice. There is such a large variety, from all sorts of dumplings to fruity desserts. I remember watching the waiters change the table cloth on the tables when we went to our table. It was sent up in under a minute! The only downside is having to wait for ages to actually get a table, but thats probably because of its popularity.
Been here last time to celebrate my 24th birthday and had really good experience with the food here. This restaurant with its noble look is very suitable for families to enjoy food on special occasion. The customer service is good; for example, there's always an attendant standing by to serve and meet your request.
Approximate cost: $10
Cheap authentic yum cha. Very delicious. Only downside is the service and how much oil there is in the dishes
We have dined at Gold Leaf many times and have found the food to be of high standard. The Yum Cha is exceptional. We have tried many Yum Cha restaurants and the food at Gold Leaf is still the best.
Went there for yum cha and found the restaurant very busy even for a weekday, food is satisfactory but they definitely need to improve on their service since nobody bothered to remove empty dishes from our table and also to add hot water for tea.
Personally I think that it costs too much so I don't go there often. However, I enjoy the waiters/waitresses pushing the carts around with all the food. Quite a large portion of their menu has seafood so it is not for those with allergies. I also think that the dishes can border on oily.
We had Yum Cha for two people and we ended paying $80 in total which was very pricey. The food however tasted great but that's too much for a light lunch. Would consider going maybe once in a long while.
I love their seafood. Very fresh, caught straight from the tank, weighed and charged by the weight. Food is great. Prices a bit higher than other Chinese restaurants but the food quality and tastes compensate for the higher price.
this restaurant has good quality food and always consistent in their standard. They have recently renovate but I have not been back there yet. The service is excellent.
I wanted to have YumCha for my birthday dinner, and we called up a few places to see if anyone offered it for dinner (as most don't). This place said they did do it for dinner, and we asked again to be sure, so twice they said they did. We make a booking and went there (a reasonable drive away)
They seated us next to the walkway, which I wasn't happy about (I don't know if they were otherwise fully booked, but there was only only other table occupied that I could see)... and it appeared that they were cleaning something off the table as they were seating us (they moved some things around, and I wasn't paying much attention, so I'm not quite sure)... As they moved the soy sauce bottle, I noticed soy sauce had been sloshed into the little bowl part, and down the front (not by them moving it - it was dried, so it was there from previous customers) My napkin had dirty marks on it. We picked up the menu and looked through - no mention of YumCha, so we asked the waitress, who said no they don't do it for dinner - but pointed out they did have dim sims and spring rolls... So we'd driven all that way because they had told us they did dinner yumcha, and they didn't - the table was dirty... and I didn't find their food prices to be that good value, given the lack of cleanliness and ambiance of the place.
So we left, and I won't be going back there again.
omg thats horrible!
I usually have meals and sometimes Yum Cha from Gold Leaf restaurant, and the food is delicious. The interior is very glitzy but it can be hard to get a reservation. It always arrives steaming hot, or if you're at yum cha there's a wide range to pick from. The service is above average, but not particularly impressive.
I particularly enjoy the Yum Cha food here. It is cheap, and not too expensive with its dishes. The service can get usually rushed as it is one of the most popular Yum Cha places in Springvale. Overall, the place is always an enjoyable place to eat.
Though at times, it can be frustrating to get service. Overall, the food is very enjoyable and presentable. It is also very cheap to eat here and as a result, sufficiently satisfying.
I thought that it was overall a nice restaurant but then I thought that the staff was a bit impolite at times. The food alright it's relatively cheap so you do get your money's worth.
Approximate cost: $15
