"Really delicious Chinese cuisine, friendly service, great neighbourhood gem with lovely ambience. The beef and scallop hot pot is a favourite dish, as well as the duck pancakes."
This venue has moved from Civic to the Realm/Burbury Hotel complex in Barton (where Malamay used to be). The service was prompted and professional on arrival and made us feel very welcome. I was having dinner with a former student of mine who manages function venues in Canberra (as a chef) - so two potential clients from hell at the one table. None of the food disappointed. Other than the desserts, which were as best as I have had anywhere, the pepper beef and scallop is always a favourite at C&Y (pepper as in black pepper) - I love pepper so it is always a must have dish for me when there. The prawns with mild 3 chillies was mild yet very flavoursome (maybe a little too mild -...

The move from Civic seems to have sparked things up a bit -- the menu is similarly inventive - slow cooked eggplant on sticky rice, duck pancakes and a delicious ricotta based ball of fried-ness on mushroom chili chutney. There were lots more choices for a light lunch: a positive thing for those expanding waistlines in service at the nearby palaces of policy.
The wine list was a bit disappointing, not feeling like a good match for the food - however, it's worth a return visit to test that perception.
Hit and miss for me but overall a decent night. The quality and taste of food was there but definitely at the pricey end. Service was very attentive however, I did attend in a group of 7 and they only provided one menu between us all. The stand out dish would have to be the lamb belly, crispy yet succulent and well flavoured. The side green beans were nothing special and some even still had their fibre strings on.

I have been meaning to try the Chairman and Yip for quite some time and it was definitely an enjoyable night. The service was attentive and efficient. The food was also very enjoyable. We chose to go with the $75 pp tasting menu, all of the dishes were lovely, in particular the seafood medley. Dessert of the night was a nice surprise, vanilla panna cotta with espresso syrup and peanut brittle - was just perfect!
First visit to the Chairman and was super impressed. Food was fantastic. The service was good, but felt a little rushed at times. The only downside was the seating. We were at the first table and every time the front door opened we got a blast of nice frosty Canberra winter air. Instead of a partially filled bookshelf they really need to install a proper wall to shield the dining room from the entrance.
What an awesome restaurant! From even before we walked in, I knew it was going to be great because they rang me that afternoon to confirm my booking. I knew then that they were on top of things. And we were not disappointed. The food was just exceptional and the service was outstanding. I will definitely be a repeat customer!
I've always been skeptical about fantasising Asian food until I tried The Chairman and Yip.
I mean, who would have thought beef and scallops go well together in black pepper sauce.
Very interesting menu and great service.

A little disappointing after reading other reviews. Best dish was the beef and scallops by a country mile. There were no spare ribs..... well not in our case as the menu dictated a three rib plate but only two arrived.
