Gabby WebbOctober 20, 2014Value for your money! Get the package and you will be full. I tried the calamari and it was very delicious. And of course their dumplings! Fried pork and chicken dumpling are awesome.
DhunAugust 31, 2012I bloody LOVE this place! Best dumplings!! Sooo cheap!!! I recommend the steamed pork dumplings with veggies n friend rice + Chinese broccoli with garlic! BEST MEAL EVER!!!- Best tasting dumplings I've had and at a great price. The waiters aren't amazing but seriously what do you expect? You can pay as little as $6.50 for 18 dumpling
Fried pork & vegetable dumplings, Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce and crispy pumpkin pastry with Chinese tea.. You are set for a fancy fantastic meal ;-) and great for those budget dinner lovers!
Matthew StewartFebruary 3, 2013Don't come for the service, hygiene, atmosphere or decor. But do try to get the seat at the front next to the fish tank. No fish but some very interesting bottle caps.
Demi-Rose ReevesOctober 24, 2015All the dumplings. Pan fried vege dumps soooo good! And so cheap! $45 for 3 people!- The rice cakes 上海炒年糕 are fried without any black sauce so looks strangely plain white but actually tastes quite delicious.
Sharath ChandrasekharanApril 6, 2015Dumplings, fried rice, dumplings in chilli sauce oil, chicken in oyster sauce with mushrooms
Brett HardonFebruary 16, 2011Don't try stay here longer than 2 hours on a weekend night. They tried to kick our party out even though some people arrived late. Like the "Dumpling Nazi" but so delicious it is worth it.- Dumpling noodle soup 水饺汤面 is the most rudimentary I've seen, with no garnishing whatsoever; yet the noodles are smooth & dumplings tasty.
S In StrayaJuly 19, 2014Half decent food and the price is great however they really have to work on their customer service. Having a lady behind you tapping her watch for TWENTY minutes is not good practice.
ImranJune 7, 2012I love places which aren't disappointing, like this one! The steamed prawn and chicken dumplings are delicious- Best vegetarian dumplings in Melbourne, hands down. Nice and cheap which is a bonus.
Sofie NguyenJanuary 2, 2013Try pork/chicken juicy buns here. Those are the best shao long bao ive ever tasted <3
Great dumplings but they are more like gyoza - still super yummy and cheap. Recommend the beef dumplings.
Best Chinese in Melbourne for quick cheap meas and tasty dumplings!
Valentina Valina BianchiFebruary 7, 2012The little pumping fritters and the veggies and mushrooms buns are my absolute favourites!- Wall poster for chicken juicy buns 鸡肉小笼包 shows 7 pieces but in reality only served 6. Also the skin breaks apart when picked up. Not good.
Andrew McGowanJanuary 7, 2011Go straight to the small Shanghai steamed pork buns, which are delicious - full of soup, a delightful treat.- Fried dumplings 煎饺 are delicious. Lightly fried, crunchy at the bottom, soft on top.

Helena ConiaJuly 5, 2015I thought with the place that really is antique like this, you'll get authentic taste of chinese food. It turned out that this place is total disappointment
Janice LeungJune 13, 2011Super quick efficent service on a Sunday before public holiday . All food arrived before 5 minutes was up .
Thom BrowningSeptember 10, 2010Best dumplings in Australia. Words cannot describe my love for the dumplings at this place. And so cheap. Everyone wins.- Helena ConiaJune 6, 2015total disappointment mostly on its steamed beef dumplings, bad services but cheapy cheaaaaaaaaap! will going back here and only order rice dishes cause the mains come in small portions.
Ryley SmithsonJuly 29, 2010Dumplings are pretty good, chili isn't heaps hot so order extra. Rivals dumpling king in Adelaide- big call!- The pumpkin pastries are absolutely delicious. They melt in your mouth. Nom nom
Veronica De PoiJuly 30, 2010Cheap as (15 dumplings for $7) and dumplings taste fantastic! Great place to go.
Gavin AndersonAugust 10, 2011Hoping the salt and pepper duck is ok for my crazy diet, one of the few dishes without batter
Great Buy SupplementsJuly 7, 2013Cheap, great tasting dumplings and Asian. Service not so friendly but what would you expect.
Laiha LuiJune 14, 2012Disappointed they don't have chilli in oil mixed with vinegar which is the main accompaniment with dumplings!
Colin PFebruary 23, 2012Consistent with all other dumpling places, staff cannot speak English and are rude. Food is as you would expect.- Laiha LuiJune 14, 2012Disappointed they don't have chilli in oil with vinegar which is the main accompaniment for dumplings!
- Changing a plain rice meal to fried rice costs $3.50 extra.
Kate McMillanJanuary 15, 2010Stirfried snow pea shoots with oyster sauce and some special fried rice. Best dinner!
