Best xiao long bao in town!
Tasty dumplings! Food always taste fresh, pan fried pork dumplings are soo good!
Authentic food but very small space to sit in. Everyone walking past seems to be up your face but it’s a very good crowd and serves very delicious dishes
This place is always busy and there was a wait line. However the line moves fast and didn’t have to wait long for a table. Food was so delicious, we ordered so many dumplings, our favorites is Shanghai xiaolongbao and pan fried pork buns.
Always a favourite for dumplings cravings. From xiaolongbao to steamed or fried dumplings all are delicious. Service is quick too. Recommend
The best shanghai pork buns EVER! I also love their pan fried pork buns, so juicy and delicious!
I enjoy their pork mince dry noodles and their bacon fried rice too, both are very tasty.
Their dumpling fillings are good, but I’m not a fan of the thick skin dumplings have in restaurants (nothing is comparable to my grandma’s dumplings).
Have also tried their veggie buns which are quite good.
Must try xiaolongbao and shengjianbao, very delicious but it is a pity that they don’t serve sliced ginger with xiaolongbao.
Quick service and yummy foods! The place is a little bit cramped but still able to enjoyed my lunch. My favourite is their shanghai noodle for sure!
Will I be back? Yes

Good dinner here over the weekend
The restaurant is a lot smaller than I originally thought. It felt a bit cramped and small.
My favourite dish out of everything was the fried pork bun dumplings. These were delicious. The bun was soft but had an amazing crispness on the bottom. As you bit in, the juicy pork filling was so tasty.
The xiaolongbao had no soup inside which was disappointing
Yummy spring rolls
Vegetarian dumplings were nice but not my favourite
The staff were nice but I felt really rushed. We were encouraged to order while we were waiting in line for a table, and our third friend hadn’t even arrived yet. There was a glass broken just before we sat down at the table, and the staff were very diligent at cleaning everything to ensure there was no glass shards left
Super super good! XLB were great. Pan fried pork dumplings were fantastic. Texture was amazing. Pork buns great. Choi sum & garlic. Yum!!!! And the homemade chili oil is incredible. Be aware it has peanuts & seafood in it if you have any restrictions.
Mar 2022. Visited HuTong at the recommendation of friends. Bookings are always required as this venue is extremely popular. The manager was quite stressed downstairs, not helped by rude clients pushing for a table even though they'd been told twice already that the restaurant was fully booked.
We were on the second floor and served by the wonderful Dee. Dee was super friendly and talked us through the Menu items suggesting complimentary dishes. The meal was one of the best dumpling experiences in Melbourne of all time. The beans and pork mince were THE best. Such a simple dish, done superbly! If you're in town, definitely give HuTong a try.
Everyone has their favourite dumpling place in Melbourne, so it's contentious to say a place is the best. While maybe not the best, this is one of my favourites and I love the chili wontons - a must try dish!
The atmosphere is cozy, the staff are really lovely, nice and service is very fast. Enjoy the aromas from multiple dishes while you dine, and be sure to have a peek in the kitchen window in the ground floor to watch the master dumpling makers at work.
Price is great given the food portions. Add this one to your list when you want something a step up from your "dirty dumpling" joint.
Great experience expect for the waiter asking for tips at the end. Made us feel tricked.
The OG dumpling house, a trip to Melbourne isn’t complete without stopping in here for a xiao long bao, chilli dumplings and chilli fried chicken. Great staff, the gentleman on the door has been working there for years and is always friendly and hospitable. Make sure you book so you’re not disappointed! They have some walk in spots for singles and couples but don’t count on it.
Hutong has a really good menu and range of food choices for all. They had a lot of different dishes for vegetarians. We ordered the spinach dumplings and the silky bean curd spring rolls. The Chinese tea choices are great too! We enjoyed all the different flavours and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend giving their food a go if you're craving dumplings and happen to be in the city.
Consistent quality of xiao long bao. Their spring rolls, chilli dumplings are also good. Their shanghai noodles are worth trying
