Cha Cha

Your tastebuds might be doing the Cuban dance but the name refers to the Chinese word for tea. The lively L-shaped room welcomes with colourful fretwork panels and bird-cagey lightshades, and although the wooden chairs are spine-testing, patient and courteous service is an invitation to linger. Dumplings are the main drawcard but the succinct menu also features Peking duck pancakes, wagyu, scallops, and plenty of pork options. Surprisingly tender crisp sesame beef is a stand-out, and yet it’s outdone by salt-and-pepper prawns that are plump and well seasoned.
