PLACES TO DIM SUM IN PERTH

Dim sum (or yum cha, which translates to "drink tea") is very popular in Perth, but there is definitely much more in store for the dim sum patron then just tea! There is an exciting hustle and bustle that goes with dim sum places as waitresses navigate the food trolleys between the closely spaced tables to offer an extensive repertoire of fried dishes, steamed dishes and desserts.

Perth has plenty of places to dim sum at from around brunch to a late afternoon lunch. The majority of dim sum places are located in Northbridge. I have had overseas visitors comment that our dim sum in Perth is pretty good compared to other countries, so I think our dim sum is on par with the best. It is best to arrive early around 11am to 11.30am, otherwise you could be in for a bit of wait to be seated at the more popular places.

The following listing covers the main dim sum places available in Perth.
