brick valley yum cha @ the glen, glen waverley

12 Mar

Located upstairs in The Glen’s dining precinct, you will find the unique Brick Valley - a LEGO themed yum cha restaurant. Yes, you heard Mamma… LEGO and yum cha. Turns out it’s a match made in heaven!

When you enter the restaurant you are first met with Brick Valley’s masterpiece gallery showcasing remarkable LEGO creations from builders across the globe. Be sure to also check out the jaw dropping floor to ceiling LEGO mosaic created by one of the owners himself.

There are subtle (and not so subtle) nods to the theme throughout the restaurant - from display cases and walls covered in LEGO creations, to flower displays created out of LEGO and light fixtures that echo the iconic block design.

Most incredible (from Mamma’s point of view) is the dedicated kids room that is filled with Duplo to keep the kids entertained while you wait for your food… and also while you digest afterwards.

Speaking of food, the selection here is vast and generous (though it is important to note that there is no trolley service and everything is to be ordered off menu). Mamma got to enjoy classics from childhood like congee, lotus leaf wrapped glutinous rice and steamed rice noodle rolls aka Cheung Fun. The kids absolutely devoured the noodles, dumplings and fried rice… almost like they were in a rush to get back to the duplo room.

Mamma says - this place can get BUSY so be sure to book ahead to avoid disappointment.
