Further back there are cloth covered tables in a split level room.
We went, mid week, specifically for yum cha. On the weekends they have trolleys and a wider choice but during the week one must order off a menu. Whilst this does not permit the instant gratification of seeing what you are getting and having it immediately it does ensure that whatever you do have has been cooked only a moment ago specially for you. The menu is divided into sections - cold, steamed, deep fried and so on
The result was that every dish was extremely fresh, of course it usually is at yum cha's, and had not been wheeled around waiting for a customer to choose it.

Comments: I feel that I will have to revisit the Tea House before I can give it a fair review but for now lets just say it's very good.

I'm not a fan of the Oriental Tea House. I find their dumplings taste like that have been in a freezer for a while. Probably because I go to more authentic yum chas it didn't really do it for me.
Hi Iron Chef,
OTH is no way the best of yum cha's around Melbourne. Sandra and I far prefer Imperial Kingdom or Ripples fo suburban yum cha.
Please tell us what your favourite places are.
Cheers
