This one is a meat lil chinese dining place right in the middle of a lane in flinders street.
We were three people and got a seat instantly de soite the restaurant being quite busy.We ordered dumplings,singapore an fried rice and a large steamed baramundi.Dumplings were fresh,made to order and tasted just perfect with the salty soy and viniger.The noodles and fried rice was perfectly seasoned and had good meat to rice/noodle ratio.
The star of the meal though was the Strand Baramundi.Perfectly cooker in salty fish sauce and complemented with leaks..This is a.must have for anyone who enjoy good fresh seafood..
Last but not the least,the themed decor adds to the overall experience.
Visite the place with Supratim Khan by suggestion of @Kamraan Ali Faisal
Best Vegetarian Pan Fried Dumplins in Town. Veg Noodles and Fried rice is also something to die for. Have been consistent quality for past 5-6 years since I have been going there

Interesting restaurant and is consistently good, sometimes very good. Dumplings, sichuan inspired dishes, noodles, spring onion pacake is very good, beef dumplings are great! Nice flavour... I have been a few times recently and will go again. Only issue in 90% of Asian restaurants, is an impersonal, rushed and rude service. This place, waiters are quite rushed yet are friendly and remember me every time I speak Mandarin or Cantonese to them, which is a good thing! :)
Service here is abrupt and without a smile. The decor looks tired and old. But you know what, the dumplings and food here ain't bad (as long as you aren't expecting fine dining), and pretty good value for the quantity you get. If going for lunch, make sure you go before 12 to beat the rush.
Amazing quantity for the price. Really exciting combinations of meat for the dumplings. The staff were very friendly. However the wait time is a bit too stretched.
The fried dumplings are the best in MLB and the Sichuan sauce is simply awesome❤️. Service can be a bit of a downer but the food makes up for it multiple times over
One of the few places that serve vegetarian dumplings. Not many places where one can get 15 dumplings for $10. I’ve had only dumplings here and they’re pretty good.
J’s score 4.0 stars. J had a late solo lunch here on Wed 13th Feb – we have eaten here before (many moons ago). Service was friendly and efficient - the place clean, spacious and had a relaxed vibe (acoustics were good, so not too loud). Free Chinese tea was brought to the table. Only criticism 🙁 was that quite a lot of the more unusual dumplings were unavailable (as was the case on our previous visit)! Not sure whether that is typical, or a function of it not being the weekend or dinner time?
J had: Special vegetarian boiled dumplings ($10) > 15 big plump dumplings 😋. Thick green wrappers were nice (& not chewy). Filling was lovely - tasty shredded cabbage, dried shitake, carrot, something green? & something slightly crunchy?? Served on a special plate so they're not sitting in water, they went well with Chilli oil & vinegar. Great value 👍 (& filling - J brought home 5)!
Seafood combination beancurd (tofu) soup $5 > It also had snow peas, broccoli, big prawns, fishcake, crabstick, carrot, bok choy & lots of tofu. Lovely seasoning in the seafood stock & J enjoyed all elements of it 😋. A smallish (entrée) serve, but good value 👍! Overall, worth a third go...

Nice dumpling and really valuable for lunch. 15 dumplings for 10 to 12 dollars, enough for lunch and taste really good.
Leek, shrimp & egg dumplings - the best. My favourite dumplings out of all that I have tried in Melbourne. Very busy on Fridays and wait times can be 30-45 minutes for food to arrive, but generally quick delivery on other week days. A local favourite near my work place.
Order the Kung Pao Chicken was very delicious, will be back to try other dish, friendly customer service, came back the next day order pork dumplings was really delicious, just an update the seafood soup is very nice but Maple Topu with rice was very salty and hard to eat didn’t finish it after 2 bites they didn’t charge for the Maple Tofu which was nice and very good customer service I order the pork dumplings was amazing.
We ordered the fried veggie dumplings and veggie fried rice with no egg, added tofu. It was soooo delicious. Very friendly service. Dumplings could have been a little crispier but the taste made up for that, and they seemed quite busy with online orders too. Very reasonable price :) Will definitely come back.
Very delicious handmade food to affordable prices
There are quite a few authentic dishes on the menu that bring back darling memories of NE Chinese food culture. Reasonably priced. Noisy kids on the second floor add to the family restaurant vibe.
