Come here on a fortnightly basis - service and food always amazing!! Love this place!! Dumplings4eva
Really nice!!! best dumpling i have even eaten! Eat a lot time here! Have already recommended lots my friends to go! Services are really nice there and good atmosphere! A really good Chinese restaurant. If you are looking for dumpling house,that’s best choice!!
We are regulars. The dumplings are very good, and in no way defrosted supermarked offerings - you can see that clearly just by looking at them. We love the range of vegetable dishes and the fact that there is a good variety of mixed meat/ vege dishes - so you dont have to get all one or the other. Service always prompt and plenty of tables. People who order sweet and sour and are then disappointed are not yet ready for Chinese food. They should stick to KFC until their palate grows up.
Have had a great experience just about every time we have visited. Food is always out fast and delicious. Have a massive range of dumplings and a fantastic range of vegan options to choose from.
Had a great lunch here with my friends. We ordered pan fried vegetarian dumplings and we enjoyed. Wasn't much busy but happy with food and service.
I love all the steam buns and dumplings in Chinese Jin Dumpling House! Especially Prawn steamed dumpling and pork prawn dumplings❣ The honey prawns is awesome. Nice service here.

They have great dumplings. People who called them 'frozen supermarket dumplings' are a joke. Have you had supermarket dumplings? They're nowhere near the dumplings from this restaurant. Real meat and ingredients here! Very crispy (I only get pan fried since I love them) and lots of variety to try.
Personally I don't think they are expensive. Decent pricing since if I can pay $25 for a salad at an Italian restaurant and $29 at a Thai restaurant for a single portion of curry with two pieces of beef, what makes $11 for a serving of dumplings expensive? How about $6 for 3 Siu Mai at Yum Cha? Don't eat here if you can't afford it.
I'm sure each table has both vinegar and soy sauce bottles, at least all the different tables I've sat at over the years have had both and you can ask for chilli (which I LOVE!). Not sure if some of previous posters had even bothered looking at what was on their table. This place definitely have the best dumplings in Melbourne as I have tried many places (CBD, Box Hill, Doncaster) and nothing else comes close. I'm a regular customer who visits 2-3 times a week & have been frequenting this restaurant for over two years and will continue to go. P.S. the fried beans with mince is also amazing
The best and freshest dumplings I'm aware of in Melbourne. A simple restaurant with great, tasty, varied dumplings. My favourites are the coriander chicken and pork with leek.
Customer service is not friendly.. They ran out of one of the most popular dishes in a Chinese restaurant..
Would go back. I stopped by sometime around last month and I have to say I loved this place.
The staff were friendly and served me prominently and since I went quite early I was even able to have a little chat with one of their waitresses.
I like how their menu offers me a wide range of choices and there were so many types of dumplings! The main dishes were also nice but I am a bigger fan of their dumpings, I highly recommend getting the pan fried curry beef ones.
Great!!. Amazing food, loved the dumplings, definitely going back.
The king of dumplings!. We've been a couple of times and were super impressed by the dumplings on both occasions. Sorry, Dumpling King, but you've been out-dumplinged!
While the other items on the menu are pretty good, they're nowhere near as wonderful as the dumplings. And the special fried rice is pretty bland.
The women serving are always friendly, courteous and efficient.
We're looking forward to going back!
Very Good. Worth a Try. We stuck with the dumplings, both steamed & fried and were impressed by the high quality of both. Good service & fair prices only added to our enjoyment. We'd go back
Great service, very very well made fresh dumplings. Loved the vegetarian options, full of flavour and quality ingredients. Pan fried and steamed dumplings were some of the best I've ever had. The tomato and egg soup is one of my all time favorite dishes too. Totally recommend it.
Amazing dumplings. I found the dumplings to be one of the best I've had.
Usually im not a big fan of pan fried, but these were delish!
broad range of dumplings to choose and very prompt and quick service.
will be going back.
Awesome. I love this place. the food is always delicious and brought out quickly. the waitress is always charming and hospitable.okay so the decor isnt amazing, an the insense is always a little strong, and some people complain about the price but i will always return. if youre looking to impress someone (first date, business lunch) this isnt the place, but for a flawless quick meal look no further
I found the dumplings to be inconsistent in their inconsistent in quality and taste, but the lemon chicken is the best I've ever had. The flesh is scored and scalded before shallow frying and when served its texture is firm and lightly crispy on the outside, all doused in a subtly sweet lemon sauce that does not overpower the dish. Exceptional taste and texture.

Wow INCREDIBLE DUMPLINGS. I'll start by saying that this beautiful, tranquil dumpling house has by far the best dumprings going around (that ive had!(and i try quite a few!)) I was gob smacked, they were so good i could not talk, nor did i want to. I went in for lunch with a long time friend of mine to reminisce over great memories, but it was truly hard to take my mind off how delicious my dumplings were. We ordered a plate of 12 steamed pork and cabbage dumplings and also a plate of 12 fried pork and coriander. Both were phenomenally well balanced, with enough meat and juiciness to motivate you for more, and NO THE OUTSIDE LAYER WASNT TOO THICK LIKE SOME OTHER PLACES IVE BEEN TOO *cough cough*..Dumpling house near southern cross station *cough cough*. Either i was that hungry or the dumplings were a bit on the light side , it didnt matter, we went back for a 3rd dish, a plate of 16 pork and cabbage again, couldnt go past them. Yes these dumplings are a bit greasy, but thats what you want, they slip down you're throat like a nice scoop of ice cream yet carry that warmth that reminds one of a family sitting by their communal fire in rural Shanghai whilst the cold wind blows outside. I think the people at Chinese Jin Dumpling House should be extremely proud of what they are producing, one could say they are jiniuses, i would agree with those people, all up the lunch cost 35 dollars (including the $1 pots of chinese tea i truly suggest, they complement the meal phenomenally) I WILL CERTAINLY BE COMING BACK FOR MORE! ALAS GOOD LUCK TO YOU JIN HOUSE! LIVE LONG AND PROSPER! YAH! YAH!
Went here last night for dinner.
we got the pork with spicy sweet sour sauce dumplings (steamed) and the steamed prawn dumplings.
both were VERY good!
reasonable pricing with fast service, will definitely return here next time I want some great dumplings!

Better than CBD dumplings.. I must say I was impressed with the selection of dumplings (e.g., chicken and coriander, prawn and tofu etc). The fried ones weren't greasy like they can be at some dumpling venues but the steamed ones were my favourite. Of the ones I tried the most flavoursome were the pork, prawn, egg and leek dumplings. The vegetarian ones with smoked tofu had a unique flavour (not sure I'd try them again) but I thought I should be adventurous and try something different. As you'd expect from a cheap chinese restaurant the ambience is average but the dumplings are well priced and are much better quality than you will find in many CBD dumpling restaurants.
We went to Jin last night based on a review in the age. The night started well, orders taken and dumplings arriving in due course, all very nice. However...after another table complained about a flat beer an argument started between the waitresses with them yelling at each other in Chinese in front of the entire restaurant...this continued for a few uncomfortable minutes followed by slamming dishes and sulking. Good food let down by a bad service incident
4 of us decided to give Jin Dumpling House a go on a quiet sat night. GREAT service and staff. Delicious dumplings, and nothing was too salty like other older reviews. Great variety and the prices are very reasonable. 4 of us stuffed ourselves for $65 and we BYOd 2 bottles of wine. Great night out.
Kew is quickly becoming a bit of a Foodie hub, with St Katherine's and Mister Bianco opening in the last few months old regulars like Chinese Jin Dumpling House are in just the right spot to attract Dumpling Lovers as they potter past! Firstly - there is a catalogue of dumplings!!
I’ve been coming here for years and may be biased but this is one of the best places I’ve been for a meal the dumplings have extra taste and menu is extensive and unique I’ve had their lunch menu noodle soup dumplings and was blown when mixing it with the special chilli paste the dinner menu black pepper sizzling chicken always gave my palate a kick to satisfaction. Service always lovely even has a ringer at each table in case you need anything else
Great vego dumplings! Usually so bland... Two types we tried which were vegan. Really yummy - mushroom +++, tofu +++. Chinese broccoli was very fresh and crunchy, the eggplant was not the usual Chinese style, had a thick sauce which wasn't my favourite but still ok. Friendly attentive lady to serve us despite a few tables and only one waitress. Recommend! Licensed plus byo wine.
I hope this place reopens, lovely atmosphere and hard to find dumplings that are the best I’ve had

Service was absolutely lovely and very accomodating, food was some of the best dumplings I’ve ever had. The vibes were a bit weird because the restaurant was empty but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the experience. Would definitely come again.
The staff are happy to leave you to your conversations. The range of dishes includes old favourites and more traditional combinations. The curry dumplings are unlike anything I’ve had anywhere else, I really like them. The prices are fair for the generous serves. A quality restaurant for family dinners and casual catch ups.
The staff are super friendly and customer service is great. As an English only speaker there is some difficulty in communicating but this is more than made up by there fantastic attitude. This place is our go to place for dumplings in Kew and have been there many times in the past. This time we did take away. They don't have their own web site (that I could find) however the menu log version of their menu worked fine and the order worked fine. Parking out the back. Heaps of space.
