Mietta's Review
Fine Cantonese food, particularly seafood and some of the best yum cha around - abalone shabu shabu and mud crab at market prices. Big, popular and housed in a former heritage hotel.

Sydney Eats 2006 "If you can't make the trip to Chinatown for yum cha, Sydney's south has an alternative in Ocean King House, with a reputation for some of the best. It's housed in a heritage-listed former hotel and seats around 300"
SBS Eating Guide to Sydney 2005 "it's found in a two-storied, gracious house surrounded by gardens right near to jubilee Oval. 'The pace for yum cha is the usual fast and furious,'"
Sydney Eats 2005 "Set over two levels in a heritage-listed former hotel, Ocean King has a reputation for some of the best yum cha south of Chinatown. As the name suggests, it also does a roaring trade in seafood specialties"

Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide Australia 2004, Good Vegetarian options,'authentic food, it's found flavour with many diners...The prices are honest and the food is complemented by a wine list that stays within the territory of popular well-known Australian wines...The service is fast and furious, but you might have to wait for the odd refill.'
