"The best ever dumplings!!"

"If you’re a dumpling fan, then you must go here!! There are a multitude of Dumpling Houses in Melbourne’s Chinatown - but this place was brilliant! Just a tiny restaurant down an alleyway, but just the best food!"

"Best dumplings in Melbourne"

"Amazing dumplings! We found this restaurant a number of years ago and we have returned every time we visit Melbourne. The food continues to be consistently delicious. The potstickers are a real treat."

"Hidden Treasure"

"If you like your dumplings, this small and unpretentious Chinese eatery hidden away in an arcade off Bourke St is a must. At first glance, prices may seem a little on the high side, but then you see how many dumplings you receive per serve. It's excellent value - and invariably incredibly tasty. Nice staff, too."
