Not usually a huge fan of Asian food but this was something else. For a Wednesday night it was full, and the service was flawless. All our shared dishes were totally delicious, and the menu was quite an interesting fusion of funky Asian flavours. The wine list offered a diverse selection and the prices were reasonable. In this day and... More

Food is pretty good, and the service is outstanding. Great for a nice night out, or a relaxing dinner with a few drinks. Pretty keen to try the early bird special one day. Will be coming back.

Chairman and Yip has yet to disappoint me in terms of the quality of the food. It is not a cheap meal, but you get what you pay for. A good restaurant for a special lunch or night out.

Food, atmosphere and service were all impeccable! I was impressed from start to finish and have not stopped talking about my recent dining experience at Chairman and Yip. I will definitely be back to my new favourite restaurant again soon.

I came here for a weekday lunch to celebrate my birthday. The food was very good, but I don't know that it was good enough to justify the price tag. Most of the dishes were a little better than at a normal Chinese restaurant but the main differentiation is the way it is served, which is far more upmarket than... More

Excellent asian food with a lot of dishes that you just don't find at your regular chinese restaurants. The service is terrific, the beer cold, and a very good wine list. The chef went out of his way to make some "special" non adult type dishes for our young kids, which allowed the the rest of us the opportunity to... More

After hearing very good reviews from friends about Chairman and Yip i decided to see what everybody was talking about. I quite enjoyed dining here and it was a nice night. It wasn't overly amazing but i was quite content with everything.

The food here is generally very well balanced and nice. If you are older, bring your torch as the lights are so low you may have trouble reading the menu.

We are visiting Canberra from the US and want to go to the best restaurants this place has to offer, so based upon a recommendation of a friend, we went to Chairman and Yip. After walking all over Canberra Center and asking three people for help, we found it. It's right near a gelato place with a stand up sign... More

As my husband doesn't like "clattery" places, he really approved of the peaceful atmosphere here. It is carpeted, has textured walls, and a bar made of silk! All absorbs sound, so although the place was full on a Thursday night, you could enjoy a private conversation. Choice of banquets or a la carte. We shared two delicious entrees and enjoyed... More
