The great thing about yum char is: no wait time! a variety of food! it is child friendly! and you get dessert come around while you are eating the main! hehehe There is a mix of customers, families with young children, couples, bunch of teenagers etc etc, it all just works! Our fav at the moment is Grand Century in Wellington....always busy!

It's off the East Tamaki exit in Auckland and about 20 meters before Hunters Corner. You'll see the big KFC on the right before you get to it. It's called The Crown. The prices are really good and it's always busy. Not as 'flashy'as Grand Harbour but well priced and they are the only place that makes this really nice sweet bean coconut ball (called "Snow Ball) desert!

We went to the Grand Harbor restaurant in Auckland and OMG it sounds exactly as you described it! Haha! There really are sooo many delicious treats. :) My favorites are the ice cream balls and these pineapple custard buns. Oooh, my boyfriend introduced me to Yum Char!

I've been going for years with my family and my friends have only started to discover it now, I take the out and they just let me take the lead because the find it a bit scary but now they love it! In Christchurch most of the restaurants don't follow the traditional bringing to food around style (maybe because a lot of them a smaller) and instead you order from a menu - which can be even more daunting because people new to yum char have no idea what the dishes are! Now some places include a picture menu too which is so much user friendly. What a brilliant post – you explained it so well!

Another good place is JCs place in Riccarton. The place opposite the town hall is a bit more pricey IMO but you can get a few more unusual things Foo San is really good I would highly recommend it – the service is pretty abrupt though (they’re famous for it) but the food is fabulous.

My husband grew up on it, as his father is Hong Kong Chinese, and our young girls (3 going on 4 and 6) love it. Our youngest, in particular, eats so much and is game on to try more than us at times! My favourite place in Wellington is Majestic Cuisine on Courtenay Place. We go there so often that the staff go out of their way to find a table for us and make a real fuss over the girls. Mmmm, I'm going to have to book a table for this weekend! Ooooo, this is such a favourite in our family.
