Greenwood Seafood Chinese Restaurant cnr Miller St and Pacific Highway
Pssst...Want in on a secret? Want to know where 1/2 North Sydney dines on a Friday afternoon.? Make your way to Greenwood Seafood then. Just make sure you have made booking!
Yes this restaurant and its surrounds really comes alive on a Friday!
Yum-cha is many things to many people. A gathering amongst friends and colleagues, a business lunch, or a quick bite, yum-cha appeals to many with diverse offerings. Greenwood offers the standard fare. You will get your prawn dumpling(har kaw), pork dumpling (siew mai), cha siew pao(steamed bbq pork bun), sticky rice(lo mai gai) and rice noodle filled with prawn or bbq pork(chee cheong fun). If the boss is paying then why not try some of the more exotic dishes like duck, or a plate full of a bbq pork or the many seafood dishes such as fried calamari or deep fried oysters. So you are reading this and asking, so, why is this place a magnet? Well the answer is, because it is the only restaurant in the area which serves yum-cha. If you have a car and a longer lunch "hour" sure there are choices further afield.
Value? Well when you have a monopoly, you are not always going to get great value. You do pay a $5-$8 premium per person. For a once a week or fortnightly dining event, not a huge bank breaker.
Service was better than most restaurants in this niche. You get your food, if you are after something specific you can request it and the men in white and black will do their best to source the dish. Try to arrive between 12 and 1 to ensure you have the best selection.
For a Monday to Friday diner this restaurant works well for those based in the area. On the weekend, I suggest you cross the bridge to Chinatown, or head to Chatswood where you can have some of the best yum-cha in Sydney as well do some shopping, catch a movie or relax in a cafe in your bloated post yum-cha state.
