Welcome to Shun Fung on the River

Very ordinary in a word and very overpriced! Ordered the mixed entree wit a spring roll, prawn toast and fried wonton. All nothing special. For mains we ordered Mongolian Lanm Claypot, and chefs recommendation pork ribs in dried plumbs. Mongolian lamb as others have said was mainly spring onion and had not been cooked in the claypoy just chucked in afterwards. Pork was dry and tasteless and not really ribs just little bits of fat and bone. Chinese vegetable was just some ki lan fried with garlic and they had the ordasity to charge $16.80 for it!

Menus just chucked on the table for us to find our way thru. Manager came to take our order and when we asked what was in the Shun Fung tasting plate she pointed at a blurred picture in the menu like it was quite obvious! Couldn't make out anything from the picture, some lumps on a plate!

The food and service along with bad decor made the ambience non existant

Our bill came to nearly $100 which was money I would have preferred to spend elsewhere, felt very ripped off. All I can say is don't waste your money here.

To be fair to the restaurant, the prices charged for most of the yum cha menu were reasonable for such a location($4.50-$8.50)

The meatballs were nice as was the pork dumplings with roe on top.And the prawn dumplings were nice. Plus my wife liked the deep fried squid. For dessert we had the custard tarts (which were brought out first, go figure??) were nice and tasty.



The waitresses were pleasant but very slow service from the kitchen made for a very long lunch. I mean Yum Cha is supposed to be quick with lots of dishes served closely together. Not all dishes served singularly. Not all dishes were hot. Some dishes were lovely, but not all.

The ambience was ok. The views and location are great, but for what would be some tourists lasting impression of dining in Perth, what a let down.

I was disappointed that a restaurant in such a premier location can do such a terrible yum cha and overcharge like the proverbial wounded bull on something as simple as Kai Lan in Oyster Sauce.

To be fair to the restaurant,the views and interior are fantastic,and the prices charged for most of the yum cha menu were reasonable for such a location ($4.50-$8.50), but I was shocked when paying the bill that the Kai Lan (vegetables) in Oyster Sauce was $18.80 I will never go again unless it changes.

Food was okay. Small serves. One of our dishes - Assorted Seafood in Bird's Nest ($35) came WITHOUT the Bird's Nest, which - very sneakily - they felt that we didn't need to know. We actually had to ask where the Bird Nest was! We were then told that they had run out of nest (it was only 630pm). The waiter takes it back in and when it comes back - the "bird's nest" is a very lazily made, cheap shell of spring roll skin. For those who are familiar with Bird's Nest, you will know that this is very unacceptable. Waitress swears that this is how they always make it. Spare ribs in garlic - too much flour. Mongolian lamb - half filled claypot consisting mostly of spring onion. Squid entree tender. Toothfish was okay.

Poor. Rude. Unprofessional. Some examples: The manager was pushing us to order from the start. Then got our order wrong. No apology. Dared to charge us for the more expensive dish too! Waiter tried to be sly and snuck the bird nestless bird nest on our table. No apology, not even from the manager.

Great location overlooking the river. Music at the pub below ruined the ambience though.

Expensive. Small serves of nothing special food. Extremely poor service. Great view of the River. What a waste of a beautiful location.

After hearing good things about Shun Fung's supposedly very authentic Chinese menu, we were looking forward to trying it ourselves. Unfortunately the food turned out to be nothing special at all. Out roast duck wraps and sang chow bows were very ordinary, as was the Mongolian lamb clay pot, which mainly consisted of spring onion. The crispy chilli and salt prawns were tasty however, but overall the presentation and overall flavour of the dishes were no better than a local chines restaurant.

Also, extremely disappointing. We booked ahead, but were given a harsh welcome and told to sit and wait by the hostess. They seemed understaffed and the maitre'd was flat out, in general the service was poor.

Again, ordinary. Little ambience at all with very standard fittings, cutlery, etc and nothing above and beyond a typical neighborhood Chinese restaurant, for a much lower price. On a nice day the view would be enjoyable.

If you want a good quality Chinese meal, with service fitting the prices, steer well clear of Shun Fung.

The food here was awful - overpriced and bland. After ordering an entree on the waitress's recommendation we waited 30 minutes only to be told they had sold out of it. No entree. For mains my partner ordered the sizzling steak which was basically a plate of sliced onions with just a few pieces of meat dotted around. 20 minutes after his arrived my meal finally arrived (the black pepper beef) and once again it was all onions. Rice comes per serve and each serve is just a spoonful in a cup so for the 2 of us we had to order 5 serves, ridiculous!!

In a word - terrible!!! After being left standing at the counter for over 10 minutes when we arrived I had the audacity to ask a waitress about our booking at which point she snapped "can't you see we're busy".

The view is the ONLY good thing about this restaurant.

This restaurant is truly awful; I have honestly had nicer meals at Hans for a third of the price. The waitstaff were worse than useless, they were just plain rude. We clearly weren't the only table badly treated as at the end of the evening we joined a very long line of customers waiting to complain. All of our complaints were essentially ignored and I (and I suspect most of my fellow diners) left vowing never to return.

Have been a few times for dim sum and they often ignore western customers. I asked for a bowl and was told dim sum is not supposed to have a bowl. Basically they would NOT GIVE ME a bowl (though i looked around and they were obviously short on a lot of crockery). Shame because a wonderful view and you can see dolphins! Might go with an Asian friend but after being treated like that i doubt it.
