Aries Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant at 1/7 Tennyson Street in Te Aro, Wellington, known for its Yum Cha. Yum Cha is a Cantonese brunch of Chinese tea and dim sum, and the restaurant makes its dim sum by hand. The dishes come in small portions, steamed, pan fried or deep fried. Dinner at Aries draws on flavours from across China, so the menu goes beyond the brunch.
The website lists opening hours of 11am to 2:30pm, seven days a week, and gives 04 212 2588 for reservations. Aries is one of 17 Chinese restaurants within a kilometre on Open Locally, and Grand Century, Majestic Cuisine and Kungfu Malatang & Cheers Tea are all within 0.1 km of it. Its tea-and-dim-sum brunch sets it apart from the nearby places that focus mainly on dinner.
