A friend and I stumbled here last night as it ticked off the two prerequisites we had: dumplings & BYO. Plus is was right by our apartments. We ordered the pork steamed dumpling, the chicken and prawn dumplings in soup and steamed beef dumplings too. Everything was good but the pork dumplings were awesome!! For only $9 you get 15!! Super cheap and delicious.
The xiao long bao is all I order as they are delicious juicy clouds of steaming heaven puff clouds, I am addicted. Service is also good with friendly and attentive staff
Just went here for lunch after a workout session at F45 in South Yarra.
🍜 Ordered the Shanghai noodles with pork mince, which was more spicy than we anticipated. But had great flavour.
🥟 We had the pan fried pork dumplings which were really well cooked - recommend these.
The Shanghai dumplings were also really well done, the skin wasn't thick or dry. The soup inside was really tasty! Would definitely order that again.
The wontons in Szechuan chili we're not bad, but I think we would prefer the sweeter chili oil dumplings in general over the Szechuan kind.
🥒 The French beans with mince meat was really really good vegetable main. We polished that off easily
Good local dumpling spot. Would recommend 👍👍
I have been looking for ‘Schezwan Sauce’ for the last 10 years amongst Melbourne Chinese Restaurants. Obviously I learnt that Sichuan is the right word. However, The Dumpling Table does exactly Schezwan not Sichuan sauce. It’s freshly made in-house and tastes delicious. For chilly lovers, this is a treat.
Food: food here is really great, we love the dumplings as it’s an easy (and cheap) meal to get. All the flavours are delicious. Tried a few other menu items spicy salt squid which is a fav, curry chook was very average and my husband threw out, outstanding honey prawns... overal food solid 8/10
Service: needs improvement. Lacking friendliness.
Ambiance: tuckshop vibe.... mostly we get takeaway so we can enjoy in the comfort of our home.

I have only tried about three things from their menu because the things I have tried are so good!
Their vegetarian dumplings the best I have ever tried. A lot of my meat eating friends will often choose them over the meat ones because they’re so good!
Hadn’t been here for maybe a year following the arrival of Tao up the road. In that time, Tao’s dumplings and service have gone downhill and this place has been struggling due to its simpler decor and ambience. Tonight I came back and found the service warm and generous and the dumplings and hot & sour soup excellent. I’ll be back and hope this little place survives, if only to offer an alternative local option for dumps.
Best dumplings in the area. Staff are ordinary as is decor but that is part of the charm. Signature pork dumplings are great as is chilli oil. Chicken and corn soup a winner. Two can eat fir less than $30 and the quality is great. Just dont ask the staff to do anything but take your order and bring the food. Its help yourself otherwise.
LIT!: I quite enjoyed the XLB here. It was juicy and didn't break easily. All our dishes were very affordable however..
NOT SO LIT: pretty average quality. Very oily noodle dish and rice was plain with insufficient beef brisket sauce to cover it.
However, again, very affordable place so why not?
Thanks for having us!
Compared with the previous service, the services provided now has been greatly improved. And the food is delicious. I ordered the fried pork dumplings and the cold cucumber in sauce, and my friend ordered the Shanghai friend noodle, the taste is really good than before. Maybe they changed a new chief. Hahahah.
I have been coming to this place for 10 years and have never once had a bad experience. The food is incredible (eat in or take away), big portions for crazy cheap prices. The staff is always super nice and the food always comes out quickly. Every time I’m overseas I dream about their dumplings. Honestly my favourite place in Melbourne.
Our favourite place for an easy take away! Must try the fried beef dumplings. Convenient and quick service, we love this restaurant.
Nicely presented with comfortable seating - plenty of tables and friendly service. Great location just across from the South Yarra train station and around the corner from Chapel Street.
Prices are very reasonable with good quality fast food service. Without hesitation the nice waitress provided water to my table as soon as I arrived.
Menu provides easy ordering with plenty of choices available including stir fried, chilli, signature dishes and of course heaps of delicious dumplings.
No fus good value food, eat in or takeaway. There is EFPOS available and the prices are very reasonable.
Cheap, fast dumpling and noodle joint in South Yarra. Dumplings were good and noodles were tasty. Service efficient without being too friendly.

The meals are big, the price is reasonable and the food was delivered within 5 minutes. The table service was prompt and friendly, with my food handed to me with a smile. I can't fault these guys for anything.
Affordable price and nice food, the lady staff is very friendly and welcoming. Especially they have my favourite dish, Scrambled Eggs with Tomato; if you dont have that, you are a fake Chinese restaurant.
