2 /5 Jace Yan: Shunde has a strong reputation among locals—many residents and neighbours call it the best yum cha spot in town. Curious, I visited for lunch a few times and even invited friends along to hear their impressions.
While the presentation of the dim sum is undeniably artistic, especially the prawn dumplings which are larger and more visually appealing than at other Eastwood restaurants, my friends felt the food itself wasn’t particularly outstanding. They also noted that the prices lean toward the expensive side compared to other yum cha venues nearby.
For me, the artistry in plating is a nice touch, but ultimately diners care most about flavour and value. Shunde delivers on presentation, but when it comes to yum cha, taste and affordability matter more than decoration.
