A Hurstville institution serving some of the city’s best yum cha

Chinese$$$$

A local institution tucked upstairs in Hurstville Times Plaza, Golden Sands is the undisputed king of yum cha in the suburb, especially after the closure of Sunny Harbour Seafood Restaurant in 2021.

Steamed pork ribs and siu mai hit the mark, and golden-skinned roast goose – exceptionally juicy and sweet-tasting – is a staple of the premium yum cha banquet, available for groups.

Plates ferried out to order, and the range is impressive, with claypot specials and textural free-range chicken and jellyfish salad. Come nightfall, go large with a whole goose, live seafood and soup served in a decorative winter melon.
