A friend took us to dinner here - the two men had a tasting menu that they claimed was superb. I had a selection from the menu and loved every mouthful.

Having been away from Canberra for several years we were thrilled to discover Chairman & Yip still serving delicious food in a lovely warm atmosphere & with the service we have come to expect from a restaurant of this calibre. We decided to order the 2 person banquet, which was more like a degustation menu, & we were not disappointed.... More

Chariman & Yip offers an Earlybird Special- in out 6.00 and out by 7.30pm with two courses for $35.00. This seemed a great idea to try the iconic Chariman and Yip without shelling out a fortune. Service started slow but got better. For first course I chose salt, pepper and chilli calamari. It was good- light and tender, but the... More

I would recommend this for anyone looking to relax, unwind... More

This is a bit of an iconic place in Canberra, we enjoyed our meal here, the menu had a range of choices, the atmosphere was nice and service good, had a lot of other customers on the night we went and overall we had a good evening with friends. On the expensive side.

it is a contemporary mix between Australian and Chinese cuisine and I think thats how they get away with their small serving sizes and high prices. If you want chinese best to go else where. We went here for our anniversary and it was disappointing.
