We had come here hoping for some good chinese food. Instead we were created at the door shown to our table and then the staff hovered over us until we ordered. The suggestions that hey made were for the most expensively priced dishes. The food was very bland. Even the fried rice was not good. How does anyone mess up... More

We love Dim Sum (Yum Cha) and have eaten it all over the world. Marigold was excellent in taste and presentation. We avoided the weekend crowds and went on a Monday just before noon. It's a large room that was 2/3 filled by the time we got there (they use two floors on the weekends). The carts came by often... More

I'm not a huge yumcha fan like my husband but even I enjoy marigold. It is ridiculously busy but somehow that adds to the excitement! The food is fresh and hot with a huge range perfect for small groups. (no reservation) There is just something about the atmosphere that really makes you feel like you are really in China. For...

Marigolds is famous for their Yum Cha. Signature dish - Salt and Pepper squid - yummy. We go around 4 times a year and have always enjoyed our meals there. Don't go there on a Saturday if you want a nice quiet lunch - half the fun is people watching and watching the waitresses zoom around with their food trolleys.... More

Serves fantastic selection of Yum Cha, pricing is pretty good as well. There is a large selection and they are frequently coming past. Don't get put off by the line that may be downstairs - if you are dining as 2 people you will get jumped in the queue. If you are going in a group of 4 or more... More

Exiting out of the lift greeted by the sight of trolleys laden with food whiz zing past. Bustling noisy chaotic but fun.. Wide selection of yum cha favourites ---the chicken pies are divine! A regular haunt when in Sydney but be early as it soon fills up. More

Good Chinese food, probably best in Sydney overall. Questionable value. Reliably poor service, why are Chinese restaurants almost all like that? More
