A surprisingly good chinese restaurant towards the South Terrace end of King William Street in a former Irish pub. Lovely contemporary chinese restaurtnt decor. Food from an extensive menu all done to a very good standard, large sized serves. Very busy/noisy on a staurday night but part of the fun! More

Citi Zen is one of my top two places in Adelaide to have Yum Cha, up there with Ding Hao. The service is great, great range and very fresh. Highly recommend. More

We sent one dish back, the chicken satays we had were deep fried and greasy, the sesame... More

My family and I used to be regulars as Citi Zen on weekends for Yum Cha. We absolutely loved the atmosphere and the food was always delicious. Unfortunately, since they moved over the road, the Yum Cha has gone drastically downhill. The decor of the new restaurant is very nice, but the food is just not what it used to... More

Went yum cha with the family in March and came away disappointed. The good thing about the restaurant is the decor...nicely presented and impressive but unfortunately thats where it ends. This yum cha restaurant is not the typical push cart trolley that I'm used to, this is where you write down how many dishes and types of dim sum/food you... More

An unexpected surprise boardering on opulent. Loved it and the relatives were most impressed. Shared the entree and main courses. Always like this place as you can decide to enjoy a reasonably...

This visit was with a group for Yum Cha mid week. The building and decore is very nice, spacious and bright. Certainly the best atmosphere and roomiest in Adelaide for Yum cha. It is easy to get to on the tram if you are walking in Adleiade central area, just get off the stop prior to South Tce. The food... More

Yum cha here is divine, though the quality is higher on weekends. Dishes off the normal menu are also excellent. The service is fantastic, especially for a Chinese restaurant. The tricky thing is finding parking. More

The last time we had yum cha at Citizen was when it was located at the old site across the road. The food was terrible then and we never went back. When I heard they had a new location (renovated old pub) and the food was pretty good, I decided to give it another go and brought my family for... More

Normally you come to yum cha and have a continuous flow of food but this place brings you all the food at once and then refuses to bring you any more so you leave and they squeeze the next batch of people in-extremely disappointed as I was told this was the best in adelaide.... More
