It was reasonable and well presented, but a bit pricy.Edit: the food was ok but... The service was terrible.They took for ever to take our order, then delivered each dish one by one with 10 mins between each. Then after an hour we were still waiting for our last dish when we decided to leave.I wish there was another yum cha to go on the northside of Canberra because this one is pretty bad.

This is the best Yum Cha in Canberra period!The Scholar would easily rival other Yum Chas in Sydney.FoodEach dish we ordered was piping hot and fresh! This is the way Yum Cha is meant to be served! Each dish was delicious with no leftovers remaining... Everyone left satisfied.Some of the dishes we ordered include: Siu Mai, prawn dumplings, chicken feet, Bean curd, combination dumpling, pork buns and more.AmbienceThis is the Authentic yum cha ambience: line up in queue waiting for table, food delivered in trolleys, waiters selling other dishes on trays, alot of customer background chatter, staff constantly setting up tables and cutlery.This is the true yum cha experience!Their tables are spacious and their chairs are very comfortable offering high back support (up to your shoulders). Thought I would point out these chairs as it is rare to see this in yum cha restaurants and definitely allows you to lean back" properly and be comfortable.StaffThis is another one of their strengths:1. Their staff all know English and hence it is easy to communicate.2. Communication across all staff - all staff have hands-free radios on person. Therefore if one person's trolley doesn't have a particular dish you want

We thought we’d give it a try despite the low reviews. There was no service at all and the place was dirty, including the bathroom. The food was very bland but the dumplings were ok.

I've been to the Scholar a few times in the distant past, but this was probably my first visit in 3 or 4 years. I've previously enjoyed their yum cha a lot!This was my first time in ages actually dining here.Service ok - good.Food and drink:Red wine - not my thing.Lobster dumplings - excellent! Hot, crispy and packed full of crustacean. ( Possibly not all lobster)Szechuan lamb - okBoneless duck with orange - very good. Quite sweet but the tartness of the orange helps.It wasn't very busy when we visited, but it definitely deserves more customers. It could do with a makeover but the food is legit.

I really enjoyed the mud crab stir-fried with rice vermicelli. However, few staffs here cannot English fluently that makes ordering sometimes quite difficult and confusing.

Loved to have yumcha there, been there a few times. Loved how they served the food (they would push the trolley with food to your table). Some dishes like egg tarts, S&P white bait fish and siew mai are our favourites there.

Average yumcha. Extremely busy on the weekend with a line forming from 11:30am. The portion sizes were smaller than other places and the dumplings were over-steamed. On the upside they had a decent menu selection and the manager was attentive and nice.

Very decent yum cha with a rich variety. The food tastes really good. We came at 10:30 sharp, and seemed to be the first patron but they forgot to open the door.:-) One minor thing about the food is the dumplings are a bit over steamed. So it is a little hard to pick up in whole. Otherwise, everything is as expected. Will definitely come back.
