Dumplings here are the best in MELBOURNE... Served on a long plate of 12 is the best entree before you tuck into a main meal.. I had an amazing 'spiced beef soup' which was a hit when your in the middle of a Melbourne winter... A must when your in the Melbourne CDB.. A personal fav.
My score 3.5 stars (avge of 2 visits). J picked up takeaway dinner from here on Sat 30th May. Spring onion pancake ($5.20) – Was ok, but not heaps of spring onion (a common thing at many places). Kung Pao tofu ($17.80) – Spicy, nice tofu, lots of peanuts. Eggplant in Spicy garlic sauce ($17.80) – Heaps of soft yummy eggplant, spicy but quite vinegary (marks off). Overall quite oily (marks off). Got a bit stodgy by the end but would have been ok if sharing with a larger group of people.
Aug 2019. Staff absolutely lovely. Place really quiet (music low), good acoustics, comfy, clean. J got Spinach noodle soup with vegetables ($11.80) - Piping hot. Broccoli, carrot, sesame seeds, snow peas, Chinese broccoli and spring onions all good. Zucchini was a bit watery. Nice stock (maybe a little mild). Spinach noodles had a nice bite to them. She spruced it up with some chilli oil and vinegar – making it into a very tasty hot and sour noodle soup.
Comfortable atmosphere and the fried rice is excellent
Nice casual restaurant..Loved their peking duck and other sichuan varieties
Service 9/10

Dumplings Plus CBD "more seats upstairs" sign max $$$

Hi Dumplings Plus - Swanston st, Melbourne CBD, Australia,
Love ur dumplings.
Please feedback to management to max ur $$$ if u could install a laminated A4 sign that costs less than a few dollars on ur restaurant front window on eye level next to entrance to communicate that u have more seatings upstairs.
The reason is that passing customers from outside will think that ur restaurant is full and no place for them to sit based on the packed seatings at the ground level. People don’t like to queue and wait so they leave. Customers don’t know there are more seatings upstairs.
Thus with a sign, customers know there’s more seats upstairs and will come in and buy food from u thus max ur $$$
Please feedback to management.
Best regards,
Jianfa Tsai (Ben)
We visited dumplings plus for a quick dinner on a Saturday night and as usual, it did not disappoint. Beautiful fresh dumplings prepared through a window in the dining room. A great selection of dishes on the menu, we opted for the roast crispy duck served with a sweet sauce. Everything was delicious and so well priced.
Came here for a late night snack and the place was still bustling. The wontons in Sichuan chilli oil were the perfect remedy for my dumpling craving. Great flavour and not too heavy!
Food was great and very tasty. We were greeted by two ladies who were very helpful and guided us how/what to order. Explained what the customers might expect to taste on a food. (i.e: This is ... it has like this ... etc) Would recommend this to everyone.
Really nice place, the dumpling were so good I forgot to take a photo. They also have delicious Pekin duck that you must try if you are there. You definitely go back!
Cold Noodle nice, flavourful and goes very well with the roast duck.
Roast duck isn’t the best quality in terms of flavour or the way it’s roasted but, it’s tender, fatty and moist. ( some roast duck is just dry and tough)
Overall, value for money place, quality is reasonably good !
Service is quick and efficient. Not the best place large groups greater than 5. Simple and straight forward dishes to fill the hungry tummy.
This place will always be my go to place for Chinese takeout. Tried the pork dumplings in chili oil today and it was delicious. Huge portions priced reasonably.
