Have been here twice. Very happy with the dumplings (plenty of choices here) and my favourite salt and pepper calamari. Will visit often.
Always keen to see solid Chinese joints in my area so gave Tina's a go since it is new. They were great, really good quality for the usual cheap price you expect from a Chinese place.
We ordered:
Mapo Tofu
Chinese Broccoli with Garlic sauce
Chicken dumplings
Vege dumplings
Vege fried rice
Special fried rice
All delicious! Going back there again soon.
We mostly only get take-away here, have only eaten in once or twice. But every single time the food is cooked perfectly and the dumplings are amazing! The best dumplings in the area by far. The staff are always super nice and friendly. Sometimes there is a little bit of a wait, but it's worth it. There are a lot of other places to eat in Altona, but we always pick Tina's.
Vegetarian dumplings were house made , fresh , delicious with rice noodles mushrooms vegetables , highly recommend all to try as decent vegetarian dumplings are hard to find.
I've been back here a fair few times now and the food has been great! The service is quick and food quality is good, however there is definitely a language barrier with the waitresses. All in all, a great local dumpling house if you are ever craving Chinese food!
Food good and the prices are cheap. Loses a start because the service can be pretty average most of the staff lack English and asking for things like Napkins or more water can be met with blank looks. However if you up for good cheap Asians food this place is should be on the list!
Despite the poor reviews I actually like this place. They’re not the best dumplings I’ve had, but they’re tasty enough for me not to travel to footscray. I prefer the chicken and prawn over the pork and cabbage. They are juicy and full of meat. The xio long bao wrappers can be thick. I’ve been a handful of times and twice had a thicker wrapping. The filling is yum. I love their garlic Chinese broccoli, the braised pork belly is delicious and so is their beef brisket. Admittedly, I haven’t tried anything else on the menu because what I’ve had is good enough for me to keep coming back. If you haven’t been before, give this place a try!
Oh and the service isn’t fantastic, but it’s quick and very typical for a dumpling house anyway.
I was so surprised at how delicious the dumplings are. The pan friend pork, chicken and beef are really nice. surprisingly happy with the xiao long bao. There aren't any other good dumpling places in inner west so its handy and the owner is really nice. good service. cheap too
Amazing and fresh dumplings ! We ordered a bit of everything (steamed/panfried) and everyone was amazing ! All fresh. We will become regulars here I highly recommend
This was a nice cosy restaurant. I actually enjoyed the food. I thought the fish was cut in an awesome way where my husband and I were able to pick and dip into the sweet and sour sauce. Their Mongolian beef is the best I've had here in Melbourne. Staff are friendly and we got good service
Great dumpling shop near the beach!
What we had:
- chicken & prawn dumplings (good)
- xiao long baos! So yummm...
- seafood pipis with egg noodles (pretty good)
- salt & pepper tofu ( so so)

Loved the food. Vegetarian options were available.
Very friendly service and decent prices! Will be back!
Popped in for lunch and so glad we did. Ordered hot and sour soup, crispy beef with chilli oil, a selection of fried dumplings and special fried rice. Our server was just gorgeous, so polite, professional and attentive. The food was to die for, never had crispy beef like it - perfection. The fried rice - just perfect - simple - not overdone - and full of flavour. It’s over an hour from home, it’s worth the trip, we’ll be back!
Fantastic vegetarian boiled dumplings! Make sure you order the Szechuan sauce to go with it. They go fantastic together and the home made sauce is worth the extra $1. We also really enjoyed the stir-fried eggplant with rice (make sure u specify vegetarian version if u don't want meat it). Very reasonable prices and friendly service.
My go to for steam barramundi dish craving - totally worth the long drive. The Chef & staff are kind and accomodating - I can call beforehand so it's ready to be served as soon as I arrived. It's cool that the Altona Beach is only a few blocks away so I can visit the ocean and walk off the calories once I am full and satisfied.
