Finally got to try Tora Dumplings, while not blown away, we found it to be of a good value.
The location is pretty handy if you are around Fitzroy and do not want to head to the city.
The service was good
Had lunch and ordered the braised pork belly, pork and prawn dumplings and the noodle in chilli + sesame oil (pork mince), yesterday arvo. The food was divine! The pork belly melted in our mouths, dumplings were absolutely delicious and the noodles were perfect! Good work Tora! Will def be back when in Melbourne next 🤗
3.5. I was craving for some late night noodles and got some Shanghai noodles with home made spring onion oil from Uber eats.
It was exactly what I was craving for but if it was more evenly sauced and I can mix it (noodles too squished into the box) then it would have been great.
The sauce was really nice except it was just mainly at the bottom and you can see it's a very dark colour but it is actually very very very light in flavour. So the top sauce literally taste like nothing. You can only taste something at the bottom. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it.
Been (or ordered from) here a few times. And really depends on what you’re after. Their spring onion pancakes are absolutely great. Their Xiao Long Bao will be the best you’re getting in the north side. The minced pork noodle thing is pretty basic but has potential? All in all it’s a high quality venue with a few duds on the menu that should either be improved or removed. Still my go to for soup dumplings and spring onion pancakes etc - would definitely recommend if you’re going for the best sellers.
Popped in here for a quick dumpling lunch. Xiao Long Bao were good, tasty and did everything a good XLB should, although they didn't come with the ginger / vinegar / soy dipping sauce they often do. Not a big deal as the tables have all the usual sauces on them. Boiled chicken and prawn dumplings also decent.
Light, airy, and cute interior, a step above your usual dumpling houses, with decent service. A great place to go if you want decently executed dumplings in a space that's actually nice to hang out in.
Lunch Special rice-stir fried shredded pork in ginger and sweet source. The food looks nice and very delicious! It’s worth to come again. Enjoy the food here!
HOW ARE THESE REVIEWS SO LOW? This place is amazing. Friendly, efficient service and super tasty dumplings. The sauces that come with the dumplings set them apart and oh. my. god. cheese. and. corn. dumpings. So good.
Best dumplings in Melbourne!! Our regular. Love the chilli dry noodles, mapo tofu rice and their dessert is actually pretty good too! So glad it’s around the corner from us!
I were there with a large group and had a wonderful time. The staff were very accommodating and friendly and I loved the décor of the place. Very stylish but also very cultural. I enjoy and love the prawn and crab were delicious, I could eat heaps of them!
The food is delicious especially the dumplings, the price is also reasonable, as well as the service is so good, I hope the next time to have a big dinner with my friends here.
To be 100% honest, I only walked in because the name Tora was the name of a character in a game I was playing at the time. Talk about being guided by the hand of a divine being, since my life has never been the same after walking through those massive wooden doors. I love the food, plain and simply this is hands down the tastiest food I’ve had in Melbourne. It is the only restaurant I don’t mind ordering the same thing at and it’s the only restaurant in my list of things to do before leaving Melbourne. We have brought every single visiter to Melbourne to Tora, and even accidentally multiple times since we are so enthralled by the food. Good service and even better food!
Went for a late dinner after early evening drinks. Huge variety of tasty dumplings and mostly fried noodles and rice dishes.
Service was good, attentive and kind.
Portion size for fried noodles was amazing, felt full and satisfied. I ordered beef dumplings in chili soup too which came in chicken broth I think. Beef would have been nicer but still good. Noise level was way above average.
Delicate tasty food and great service! Their soup dumplings are phenomenal!
Food was delicious. Dumplings were plump and juice, fried rice was great and pork belly succulent. Would definitely recommend and would eat there again 🤤
Tuesday 15/5 Celabrated our granddaughters degree graduation. Being our first time we weren't sure what to expect. Boy what a surprise. The food was absolutely sensational, quite possibly the best Chinese and dumplings I have ever had. The Teryaki squid and belly pork were divine. Our dinner was a wonderful conclusion to celebration. Tora deserves 6 stars. We will most certainly be back.
