Sun World Chinese Restaurant

Get in early for yum char, this place gets super busy! Hugely popular with the Asian population. Service is fast as they want you to eat quickly so they can clear the table and seat the next lot of customers. Try the prawn dumplings, pork buns (and of you are adventurous) chicken feet.

Yum Cha - or translated into English: Drink Tea. It is one of those Chinese traditions where after your early morning exercise/workout, you'll go to a tea house, sit down and enjoy the aroma of the tea and have breakfast. These days, most Chinese (more specifically Cantonese style) restaurants will offer Yum Cha for brunch and lunch (some even offer it for dinner), where Dim Sum (Chinese tapas/small plates) are pushed around on carts, and diners pick and choose from a wide range of food offerings - from steamed buns (BBQ pork, chicken and vegetable, to sweet lotus seed paste), to dumplings (prawns, chinese chives and seafood), Shui Mai (typically with pork and shrimp), spring rolls, sticky rice rolls, to the more "adventurous" such as chicken feet, beef tripe... the choices are endless! My family has been coming to this local restaurant for the past decade, and nearly every other weekend it has been a tradition to meet up on a Sunday morning. We have been to many Chinese (Cantonese) restaurants that do Yum Cha around Auckland, and Sun World is definately the best in Auckland that offers Yum Cha. The good food and good atmosphere offer an authentic Hong Kong Yum Cha experience that we all grew up with. Service is always superb, the wait staff very attentive and always there to help you with any questions that you might have. They also do dinner service as well and the food is equally as good, however for me, Yum Cha service is definately what draws me back to this place again and again.  

Always love coming here for yum cha… Love the egg tart here
