Great place for cheap dumplings! Really good for big groups. Just had a birthday dinner there and they just kept bringing the dumplings out!

Ducked in for a quiet bite after work. Great little spot tucked away in Childers! Seemed great value for around $13 for 15 dumplings in soup? Wasn't in a dumplings mood even though we decided upon this place, but instead ordered salt n pepper delights which were great considering our appetites, in portion size, quality and price. Might try the dumplings next time.

It's cheap, it looks like a diner and it's open every day in an area that at least has decent parking during the evenings. What more could you ask for? There is flavour (which I'm sure is partially assisted by MSG), lots to pick from, and takeaway containers when you aren't able to finish the meal. On this occasion I had the Mapo tofu on rice, spicy eggplant with noodles, Shanghai fried pork dumplings and steamed vegetarian dumplings. Enjoy them with vinegar and chilli sauce and you'll be satisfied.

Always a good time. Good service and enjoyable food: I recommend the eggplant dish with rice (without chicken though! )! Best to eat earlier I reckon when it's not too busy.

Amazing soup. The dumpling soups here are as good a meal as you will have just about anywhere. Great stock, really delicate eating. I have been amazed by this place on several occasions.

Taking it as it is. Nice simple, tasty food. However, be prepared for a little bit of a wait and a shortage of waitstaff. The night I was there it was one (obviously junior) member of staff being left to man the floor of the entire restaurant. She did as best she could, while the more senior lady who seemed to be in charge would just smile and continue on her way. Made me a bit nostalgic for primary school, really, having to keep my hand in the air to receive service.

Cheap and cheerful. All the food here is pretty good. Especially for the price, it's very reasonable by Canberra standards. service might not be amazing, but given it's just a cheap dumpling restaurant I think it's very reasonable!

Cheap, cheerful and often noisy. I like this place and it reminds me of many Hong Kong eateries

My family and I love going to this cafe, the dumplings are incredible and we always leave feeling full and satisfied. Service can be a tad bit slow but after eating delicious, cheap, dumplings it won't even cross your mind again. Great place to eat, especially for students on a budget.

Great dumplings, great price. Love the dumplings here, and come more often than I care to admit. I agree with others that the service is poor, but if you don't mind fetching your own water or chilli for a $13 meal it's forgivable.

We were dying for some Chinese food but we wanted steamed dumplings and found this place by recommendation on Google and it didn't disappoint. Upon arrival you could tell this place was good by the crowd of people. Having lived in Suzhou for a couple of years this place brought us back not only by taste but surprisingly by the price. We highly recommend eating here and ordering the steamed pork and prawn dumplings.

All-time, hands down favourite dumpling house in Canberra. It doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Reasonably priced, delicious dumplings and hot tea is what I come for and what I get every time. Feels like home. Last time I went I tried the peanut butter noodles and was blown away.
