About Citi Zen Restaurant

King William Street dining with room to breathe—Citi Zen delivers daytime yum cha the classic way. Adelaide regulars steer large tables toward roaming carts for the all-you-can-eat spread, stacking bamboo baskets of prawn dumplings, barbecue pork buns, and stuffed eggplant. Come dinner, the floor shifts to tableside theatre—carving crisp Peking duck right before diners, backed by sweet and sour pork and a solid wine list.

  • Roaming Cart Service: Steaming bamboo baskets, pork buns, and dessert selections wheeled straight past tables on traditional carts.
  • Tableside Peking Duck: Crispy roast duck prepared and hand-carved in front of the table for an interactive dining centerpiece.
  • Banquets and Wine Pairings: Generous multi-course shared dinners complemented by an expansive, well-curated wine selection.
