Great place to come to if you want a quick, cheap and tasty meal. It’s also BYO which is an added bonus. We always get the sweet chilli eggplant, Shanghai noodle and boiled dumplings. Overall great place but service is lacking.
This place is great value. We bought the fried hand shredded Chinese cabbage, Thai fried rice, Northern Style, and combination (prawn, egg and pork) dumplings. The Northern Style dumplings are a must have! All of this cost $41.90 and the portions are very generous. Food is timely served, and service is friendly.
Great food at unbelievable value. I got pan fried dumplings – Northen style (pork and chive). 12 of these delicious dumplings for $9.50. Comes with chili oil and Chinese tea. The crunch on these dumplings was unbelievable! I’ll definitely be back for more. Decent amount of seating for small/medium sized groups. Pretty good ambiance for a casual place.
4.5/5
I've started coming to this place since early uni days, can say i've been here more than 10 times :)
If you're after high quality and service, this will not be the place.
However food is delicious and cheap (where else can you get 16 pieces of dumplings for 10 dollars?!). My favourite is northern style and the pan fried dumplings. They are juicy, cooked well and perfect with the chilli oil and vinegar. The pan fried base is crispy.
Shallot pancakes are fried, slightly greasy but has a nice texture, and generously portioned.
I've not tried anything else yet apart from the dumplings and shallot pancakes.
Dumpling Haven ~ If you are crazy about dumplings like me, head to this cosy eatery on Anzac Parade.
You enter the place and are welcomed with a smile and aromatic flavours calling out to you. I have been here thrice and have stuffed myself up with dumplings each time.
Their Northern Style steamed and Chicken & chives steamed are delicious. I'll soon head back for their other tempting dishes.
Good going guys!
Could safely say that they serve the best dumpling in Kingsford! Believe me, my friend and I has this love for dumpling and we tried all the restaurants (that i know of) that serves dumpling in Kingsford. My go-to is always their northern style boiled & pan fried dumpling. The skin of the dumpling is just the right amount of thickness and chewiness and not to mention the filling is just simply delicious! What I love most about their dumpling is the fact they still have the soup inside the dumpling which makes it feel like you're eating xiao long bao haha. However, I never really tried other menus in this restaurant. So far, I've only tried one of their noodles and the pancake and both were disappointing. But would definitely 100% recommend their dumplings!
Does what it says on the tin at bloody good price. 50 dollars for 2 people and you will walk out stuffed. Great cheap grub.
Noodles are probably the highlight dish for me.
Peking Duck was good worth the price ($22), hoisin sauce was weird as it was salty, expect should be sweet. Fish was pretty good, pretty recommended.
Pretty tasty food and cheap. Very good value: we had vege rice noodle stir fry, using with chicken and black pepper and steamed vegetable dumplings. As mentioned it was tasty and had a good amount of a good mix of veges (for reference, I have had chow mein with unfried potato chips in it, this place is the polar opposite!)
Love this place. We always order special dumplings, chive pancake, sizzling hot plate, egg plant and a few other things. Sometimes we wait but pricing is good and portion is good. I'm rating it on food and I the food is 👍👍
Great experience! Homey feel and lovely service. The new waiter was in his first day and handled every thing very well, we felt well looked after. Delicious Chinese food. Will be back!
We ordered the lamb ribs and mapo tofu. Generally tasty, although the batter on the ribs was a bit too thick and crunchy, and would've liked more chilli in both.
Delicious food with generous portions, but during meal time it's hard to get a seat. Come early or late for easier seating. Fried pork bun is definitely worth to try.
This place is an institution in Kingsford. Large servings, good service and ambience here. The dumplings are what you come here for! Definitely a local favourite. You can BYO booze.
My partner and I came here after a seminar at UNSW looking for some good asian food and stumbled across this place after looking at its menu outside. It had a large assortment of classic asian dishes and it seemed like the way to go.
We were welcomed and seated pretty quick after entering and the man who served us was very nice. Another man came from nowhere and placed a jug and two cups on our table, we barely saw this guy coz he was real quick. He gave us menus and we were pretty surprised at the prices that were offered. Most of the single meals were around $9-$11 and let me say this before you think that it's not gonna fill you up: it will definitely fill you up.
I had the Mongolian lamb with rice, and my girlfriend had the Singapore style fried noodle with pork mince. When the food arrived, I was a little surprised about their plates, which were very different to the usual circular or oval plates, but this was like a rhombus. It sorta made the meal look bigger than it did, but the food tasted good nonetheless. The Mongolian lamb took the cake, simply because it was really well made and the sauce was perfect. The rice however, was dry and could use some work. The texture of it was really lacking and just felt like I was eating something that was cooked a week ago, but reheated for only 30 seconds in the microwave. It was really unfortunate. The portions were good though!
We also had ordered the spring pancake, which was essentially a really large spring roll. It sounded really interested as first since they labelled the whole category as pancake, but after seeing it, it's not that special. It was really oily too, which was a big turn off, but it tasted alright.
Since we ordered a dish more than we could finish, we asked for some takeaway containers. I'm glad that they had given it free of charge, since many other asian restaurants tend to charge upwards of a dollar for one.
This place would probably suit uni students struggling to make a decent income while studying, considering its cheaper than usual prices and well portioned meals. I'd probably return to try something different next time.
Busy cash only little place competing for business along Kingsfords’ Asian food strip. Decor is basic but the service is fast & the food is very nice. The hand made noodles are a highlight & the steamed dumplings hit the spot but I’d also like to try the boiled & fried varieties because they looked good as well. Apart from noodles & dumplings there’s a wide variety of other tasty & spicy meals on offer & the pancakes being ordered looked rather inviting too.
