Yu Huang

Yu Huang in Phuket (located at the Ramada Chaofa Hotel) is a polished spot that focuses on authentic dim sum served with care. The menu revolves around yum cha classics: juicy har gow and siu mai, well-executed xiao long bao, shrimp dumplings, and delicate rice rolls (including crispy shrimp rolls). You’ll also find standout dishes like steamed ribs in black bean sauce and salted egg “lava” buns. If you prefer bolder, punchier flavors, there are Sichuan options such as Sichuan soup and Sichuan chicken, along with small plates like salt-and-chili tofu. For the more adventurous, traditional items like chicken feet are available too.

There are a couple of ways to dine, depending on what you’re after. You can go for the all-you-can-order dim sum buffet, which offers a wide selection and quick service, or choose a set menu that delivers strong value for the price. Portions are generous, ingredients taste fresh, and dishes arrive hot and neatly put together.

Inside, the vibe is calm and elegantly understated — clean, comfortable, with soft background music — making it an easy choice for families or groups. The staff are friendly and attentive, and they’re happy to help with special requests (including vegetarian-friendly picks). In the evening, it’s worth confirming the last order time and kitchen hours, and if you’re booking ahead, you may want to specify your seating preferences.
