Cosy restaurant nestled on Norton Street at the Parramatta Road end offering a nice selection of dumplings and noodles. Highly recommend the beef brisket and duck noodles which are packed full of flavour.

The dumplings are amazing here! Really delicious handmade Lamb, Coriander And Spring Onion ones that were pan fried were packed full of flavour and had a great pastry to it. The Roast Duck Noodles are excellent too. Lovely service to boot and this small restaurant is a great place for a quick meal.
I love Fantong! For years we've been heading to the city for a good Chinese feed. Now that Fantong is here we can just head up the street. The stand out dishes for me are the prawn and fish wontons in spicy sichuan sauce, the duck rolls, the shredded chicken breast with sichuan pepper, the beijing style shredded pork, the kung pao chicken and the sauteed green beans. I'm sure the other menu items are tasty- I just order combinations of these dishes as they are fantastic.
Great little place in Leichhardt. Real friendly staff.
We had the kung pao chicken, lamb and porn dumplings.
Pork and chives dumplings are a must have.
The places expensive as well.
4 on 5.

Great little dumpling and Asian restaurant on Norton St. A refreshing addition to the usual dining options available in Leichhardt.
These guys make a mean dumpling. We absolutely loved their lamb dumplings!
Really great housemade food on the menu and a good wine list too.
I love this place. I used to go to Ashfield for good Chinese Food, now I go to Leichhardt. I have not had a thing on the menu that I havent enjoyed. I highly recommend the dumplings (all are good but I prefer the fried Pork dumplings - delish). They recently renovated and the place is comfy and stylish downstairs (they have an upstairs too, but havent ventured up there). They have good quality beers and nice wine at a very reasonable price. Perfect if you want to have a boozy dinner with friends (or an ordinary dinner!). The staff are great, attentive and friendly, a family run business, run by good people and the food is great - we keep going back. Highly recommend.
Really nice, clean restaurant with friendly and helpful staff. The beef brisket soup was delicious, and the eggplant with peanut sauce was perfectly cooked. And so cheap! Definitely coming back.

A fàntǒng is a wooden bucket that cooked rice is served from. Traditionally, good quality ones made by artisans were watertight, but poorer quality ones were not. The word later morphed to describe a good-for-nothing person useful only for eating rice. In a positive sense it can also be employed to mean come and eat, and that’s just what local residents Chris Shearman and Autumn Qiu are hoping you’ll do at their new restaurant: Fàntǒng.Up until three months ago, Leichhardt residents generally had to make the trip east or west - to Haymarket or Ashfield - for their closest dumpling fix. Shearman and Qiu decided that it was time for that to change. Building upon their experience at Brewery Espresso in Erskine Street – a popular café that morphed into a hybrid dumpling joint under their stewardship – they’ve opened in a two-level terrace on Norton Street. At the moment it’s only operating on...
Fan Tong is a new Chinese restaurant that had opened on Norton Street. It's been open just over a month and I finally got the chance to pop in for lunch on Saturday. I ordered the Zha Jiang Mian which is slow cooked soy pork mince, master stock egg, pickled vegetables, coriander and the delicious handmade noodles. The noodles were the highlight and the rest of the ingredients were well balanced and a decent size without being to heavy. The only thing I think it needed was a bit of chilli which I asked the staff and they happily provided. The dumplings looked good and very popular at other tables, I will definitely try them next time.
Amazingly flavours and a lovely place to dine. Had dumplings (pork and cabbage, pork and chives, lamb), duck rolls, pork bao burger, and BBQ por shallot pancake with a lovely bottle of Riesling. Everything was fantastic, especially the dumplings. Also shared an egg tart for desert which was flakey and just wonderful.
$96 for two people (with a bottle of wine) who really ate like three people-great value
Can't wait to go back and try the rest of their menu.
Service was warm and professional.
If you're a Leichhardt local, get down there now. If you're not, travel!
The food here is excellent!! Highly recommend. We are regulars and order at least once or twice a week. Always fresh and tasty, the staff are friendly when you call them up. Sometimes the food may take some time for delivery but it is definitely worth the wait. The chicken curry and salt and pepper fish are a family favourite!
Always fresh food. Have to try Mr Q fried rice. Best in Sydney inner west. Mongolian beef is my go to, just delicious.
Very very very delicious! Everything just right! I like Hainan chicken most! Highly recommend eat in or takeaway~
ABSOLUTE BEST Special Fried Rice in Sydney, and I’ve tried them all! FRESH ingredients. Very generous serves. I order at least once a week :D
I really like the beef rice noodles here and the chicken pineapple fried rice. Service is quick.
Sampled their fried rice, sweeet and sour pork and short soup and all items were absolutely delicious and speedily delivered. Thank you Mr Q's, will definitely be ordering again in the future - give them a try today! e
