Shy John Brewery & Yum Cha

This place has to be one of the best tasting Chinese restaurants in Perth. Been coming back here countless times and each time it has been the same great tasting and consistent food. They now do crab 🦀 as well here but it was around $125 per kg. So quite pricey for mud crab so declined and ordered our little feast. Gave us a complimentary fried ice cream as well as it is somebody’s birthday 🥳 on Valentine’s Day ❤️

Off for a night in the Fringe festival my wife booked this place for a dinner. From having a $5 beer, spirit of wine down stairs to the awesome food up stairs in the restaurant it was a great experience. Has a $5 rum which i loved so bought a bottle the next day, The Dead mans fingers spiced rum. We had the Duck san choy bao, Gyoza, Sui Mai and spring rolls. Mains where the Kong Po Chicken with great chilly flavors that got my friends hiccups going . This tells us the chili is good. Sweet and sour pork and saltfish/Chicken rice which tasted so good. So many times we have walked passed but not stopped here but we will be back for sure . Staff extremely friendly and helpful . Thanks for making the start of the night a good one.

Fantastic service. Everyone smiling and happy to greet you and say hello. We went for dinner with two kids and five adults. Our toddler was given her “own” special plastic bowl and cutlery. We ordered lots of dumplings, squid, duck was amazing, satay Skewers, san Chou bao and fried rices. All very tasty and fresh and didn’t take long at all to be served. We tried Summer ale and a grape beer. Not bad at all. Very impressed and definitely recommend you give it a visit. Great location in Yagan Square with grass and water near by for kids to muck around.

Rated this place 4 out of 5; 5 for the beer and 3 for the food. The beer is very unique and well done. Mixing western and Asian flavors to come up with new styles and they are delicious. The food on the other hand is nothing special. The duck rolls had minuscule pieces of duck and the dumplings were average.

The Shy John looked good. Thought we would try some place new. Started off not to badly, with the starters. But order the main and well that was a completely different story. We ordered the Honey Chicken not to bad/ the tea room chicken which oh my god bland as bland can be, the barramundi was well cooked but seasoning was lacking on all the food ordered. The vermimtino wine was / opened to long it tasted like vinegar.

I went there to try their craft beers and was pleasantly surprised with how much care was taken with the menu to blend an oriental touch in every type of beer and cocktail offered. I tried a cocktail while chatting with friends and it was fantastic, they bar offered me a bai ju and dragon fruit cocktail that was not even on the menu... Delicious. I'll be back to try the yum cha next. Been back twice now for cocktails and their unique craft beer... Nice!!

A great new place open in Perth city - have to try it - good value excellent quality food that comes out from the kitchen quite fast! Must try the duck - great! Nice friendly polite staff providing excellent service

Planned to go to the newly opened Tim Ho Wan, but the queue would probably took an hour. Instead we headed to this restaurant and bar in Yagan Square. The dim sum menu was quite surprising not commonly found in other yum cha house, like truffle scallop dumplings, black sesame bao, cheesy mushroom and chicken pie etc. Taste good though the price was a bit expensive. They also serve Funk Cider beer and cider, would definitely try their platters next time at night.
