The food was really good. There were only 2 of us so we unfortunately got seated Infront of a big open booth of business people who were facing us.. it was uncomfortable.. I would have much prefered to sit in a small booth, however we only had two people and that wasn't an option

I was still eating my last spoon of the dessert and still had the spoon in my mouth and the plate was taken away. Drinks were removed thinking they were finished but weren't. Very quick with bringing food but rush to clear the table isn't nice.

Amazing food - arguably some of the best Chinese chefs in Melbourne CBD, but the service really lets this place down. Theres loads of waitresses standing around, but they give you an annoyed look if you even ask for some water.

Delicious! The food is fresh (you can watch them making the dumplings), quick and tasty. The staff are efficient and friendly and it’s BYO, what more could you want!

Touch screen ordering was okay but would have preferred to have a hardcopy menu as well. Made the dining experience fell very disjointed. Otherwise the food was average to good, depending on the dish. Xiao long bao were highlights.

We went for Chinese New Year dinner in a group of 4. There was a very short wait time between ordering food and when it arrived at our table which was a pleasant surprise. We ordered several types of dumplings, fried eggplant, salted fish and chicken fried rice, and bok choy and mushrooms. The food was good quality and tasted good. Price was reasonable but wouldn't be considered to be cheap.

This is THE BEST dumpling place hands down. They clearly use quality ingredients and not tons of salt. The staff are also very friendly and efficient. 100% recommend this place to everyone!!

A great place for a casual feed. Xiao long bao, chilli dumplings, special fried rice recommended. iPad ordering, lightning speed beverage delivery. Bathroom downstairs, not wheelchair accessible. Good for groups. Surcharge on credit cards.

Great Food, service is super fast and always a great experience eating here. Love being able to order from the iPad at each table without having to try and catch the attention of a server. Also helps to keep track of what food you have ordered and how much the Bill is.

Nestled together with many other restaurants and eateries, Quandoo found us this place! A no frills eatery. They need to update their website so dishes no more served should be removed. Eg the pork hock I like the crocodile meat. In general, the servings are small compared to some restaurants. While some dishes are nice, but a bit pricy for a no frills restaurant

Service is always a bit hapless and disinterested here, so, thank goodness for the ipad ordering that means you don't have to deal with it. Food comes out quick and is pretty good for a reasonable price. Good weekday lunch spot.
