Chairman & Yip

Best meal I've had in Canberra by a long shot! Thank you to the Chairman & Yip team for the top notch service and equally as amazing food.

Great food. Oysters and fish to die for. Service started a bit slow (not crowded at all) but picked up. My second visit and I was happy with everything.

Extremely top quality of food from menu design, cooking, the preparations. Big applause for those behind the scene. Worth to be chosen as one and only lunch in Canberra! 🤩

I was already impressed by this team before we arrived. Knowing the weather was going to include torrential rain, they thoughtfully emailed advising they'd open their doors earlier & gave parking directions. Very impressive. On arrival we were greeted warmly & every team member we met was welcoming, proffessional & helpful. The food! Oh my goodness! We were there for the Valentines Day set menu & everything on that menu was divine. If I'd been choosing from the menu, there were only 3 dishes I would've chosen. However, the wonder of a set menu is trying dishes you may not otherwise have tried! I am SO grateful to have had the opportunity to try some new flavours & would now happily have them again. Every morsel was delicious but if I was pressed for a favourite it would be the swordfish...very closely followed by the aubergine. We are briefly visiting from Interstate to see the Pompeii exhibition & I'm already looking forward to whenever we next visit Canberberra as we'll definitely book a meal in Chairman & Yip again.

Delicious Cantonese cuisine in Canberra. Their scallops and eggplant were amazing!

This place is another level for Chinese Cuisine. The food was delivered to our table fast and with an explanation of what we were about to delight ourselves. All dishes we had were delicious and proportioned. We had the whole dish and was it delicious and succulent. The food and service were exceptional. We would highly recommend coming here and will be back to try the other dishes.

Tonight, I dined with two friends at Chairman Yip. The restaurant boasts an elegant and comfortable ambiance. Every dish was a unique masterpiece, bursting with distinctive flavors, and the attentive service further elevated our dining experience. We enjoyed a relaxed atmosphere, savoring the food while engaging in delightful conversation, which made the evening truly unforgettable. I highly recommend visiting with your best friend to share this wonderful culinary experience.

My husband and I had lunch at the Chairman and Yip. Without any exaggeration, this has been my favourite dining experience in Canberra. The food, the service and the venue were all top shelf. We shared 6 dishes. All perfectly presented and of course they were delicious. The service was excellent with an explanation of each dish and answering any questions we had. The venue is beautiful and cozy. We will be heading back soon (and regularly). I want to experience every dish!

We had some great food here, but the service was stretched very thin and a bit patchy. Would definitely go again.

Really average. Our experience was of ok food and ok service. For a high-end restaurant, well below expectations. We had the tasting menu. They were very good accommodating my pescetarian preferences. But the food itself, although well-presented, was consistently unexceptional. The highlight for me was the scallop starter. But the Snapper main had a bland sauce and seemed slightly over-cooked. Wait staff were a bit confused or inattentive at several points, unsure whether the prawn rolls contained pork (yes) and seemingly ignoring our request for sparkling water (they don't have it?). Brought wrong dishes at one point, etc. But generally professional and, like the food, alright.

This restaurant has been an institution amongst the best restaurants in Canberra for many years. And now it has has moved to the premises of it's former sister restaurant Malamay. The regenerated Chairman is operating away from the city in Barton and near the grand Parliament building. It is was an ideal time to relocate this business as some of the sparkle had come off its operation in recent times with the premises looking tired and the menu in need of a refresh. This need is now filed to history as the new premises are modern and stylish utilising much of the Malamay feel with some subtle modifications. The menu is revamped and the cuisine is now a very elegant Cantonese. The menu has also been fined down with less dishes however the breadth of flavour and composition has true mouth watering appeal. This was our visit to the revitalised restaurant and being a party of four we were able to enjoy a wide selection of dishes which enabled us to have a genuine insight into the new menu. The dishes we selected included: * Tangs pork & prawn dumplings, * Roast duck & mushroom pancakes, * Lobster roll, * Steamed barramundi with ginger in a soy broth, * Beef and scallops pepper hotpot, * Shantung lamb, and * Beans & garlic side. Every dish was good with its own flavours. There were three that were standouts being the succulent lobster rolls, the steamed barramundi with subtle flavours and the roast duck and mushroom pancakes. There is an excellent wine list and a taste for almost all palates. Service was excellent and it was great to be back.....this is a good restaurant now back, doing great things!

Just amazing!!!! It's been a while since I had anything this exciting. Here for business and this was close by. Never heard of it before so a serendipity moment. Had the Wok tossed King Prawns with a small serve of stir fried vegetables. Ate every bit and that's saying something. Then decided I'd try desert. Wow, the panna cotta was superb, with almonds and maple syrup. I've died and gone to heaven.

Asian fusion has a new champion as this foody dines at The Chairman & Yip in Canberra. The menu can be as diverse as a taster for two where the more popular items are matched at a set price to individual portions matched by the chef to a persons particular wants or needs. Service was exceptional and our return to Canberra in the future will be dependent on returning here.

Good decor. Entree of pancake and dumplings very good. Mains pretty disappointing had lamb. Very oily. Beer selection very limited and needs work.

I love this restaurant. First visit to new premises and wasn't disappointed. Took my sons who both loved it too. Living in Melbourne we are used to good food but Canberra is catching up quick with restaurants like Chairman & Yip. Especially loved their version of the Lobster Roll (made with prawns) but we loved everything we ate. Also excellent wine choices and service.
