Editorial Review
The Epping to Chatswood rail line has turned a large part of Chatswood into a construction zone, and duly, Fook Yuen Seafood Restaurant, set behind the railway station on Help Street, is now just a little bit harder to find. Housed in a low-rise office building, its long rows of glass windows have a lovely view of said construction zone. Just pretend you’re in Beijing watching Chinese workers build Olympic Stadium. Fook Yuen is your typical oversized suburban yum cha palace, with its padded burgundy hexagonal chairs, a vast mirror on one wall, a tranquil painting of koi in a garden pond, and five bubbling tanks housing an assortment of not-so-fortunate fish life.
Fook Yuen’s excellent yum cha is the main attraction by day. Yum cha is traditionally a brunch affair so arrive early and get good seating in the middle of the restaurant, or you will miss out on the best offerings. The a la carte menu is suitably enormous, and for large groups, the set banquets are a good deal. The suckling pig and barbecued duck are excellent, and the live seafood (barramundi, scallop, king crab, abalone) is well worth the extra dosh. However, the adventurous, non-Chinese speaking diner will need to ask staff for assistance with the Chinese menu as this is where the real treasures lie.
