Marigold is a very well know restaurant for Yum Cha in Sydney and has both locals and Asians going there. A tip is to get there early (go for brunch rather than lunch) as it gets very busy. Plenty of variety with the food. The staff with the food carts can be busy but just stand your ground if you... More

I meet a colleague who had suggested the Marigold, and I had often thought about it, but usually end up in Chinatown. But I just loved the great selection, great service, and value for money. Fantastic experience.

Sharing a lot of previous reviews about Marigold here. The food is good and tasty BUT it is on pricey side, has long queues esp on weekends and the service is v poor. I guess due to the overwhelming demand the management and staff can afford to skimp on quality service. If they would fix this, it would be a... More

Long time favourite of ours. Have eaten here many times over a number of years as a couple and with groups. We love: lots of carts moving about lots of dishes for you to pick from. Meaning you can get something to eat pretty quickly. (provided you get seated quickly. ) variety of dishes. high turn over of dishes. The... More

On reputation we decided that since we were in Darling Harbour so close to China Town that this would be great. Got a table with our friends (all up 9 of us) without a booking and the female waiter was very helpful. Food very good but very expensive. The "Manager" according to his name tag never once smiled, reached over... More

Just super dim sum. Everything is fresh. Everything is made on site. The seafood they get in Australia, the cooking experience is from China and the outcome is an internationally spectacular meal. Yum Yum, Marigold Dim Sum

Went there last Sunday with my partner after reading some reviews. After queuing for 30 mins was ushered in anticipating a great eating experience Food very very ordinary and the bill was the highlight-$80 for 2 people.. What were we paying for-the reputation? Very disappointed-try at home tacky decor with PL Chinese frozen yum cha from your local supermarket. I... More
