Especially loved the prawn dumplings, very fresh, loads of filling. Was overall very enjoyable and the flavours were excellent! Would come back again next time I come to Mel.
@ the executive chef and the restaurant owner, there is a little details that could be improved, i.e. removing the non-edible stem attached to green beans before cooking, which causes so much inconvenience preventing the enjoyment of delicious food.
First time and absolutely not the last one.
Food was delicious.
We loved pretty much everything.
Sharing is a very good option.
The staff was very friendly and kind.
Recommended to book beforehand.
I'll be back
The best dumplings I've had in Melbourne!
Taking the humble dumpling and doing it justice, everything on the menu is packed full of flavour. The menu has the usual pan fried dumplings and xiaolongbao, but the chefs have outdone themselves with their unique Peking duck, wagyu beef and flamethrower pork dumplings.
The dining area has excellent ambience, perfect place for date night and special occasions.
Service was quick and we had all our dishes on the table moments after ordering.
Cocktails are delicious.
Oriental Tea House’s menu was pretty extensive; they had a lot of dim sum varieties, main Chinese dishes, and also seasonal delights. A lovely cosy venue, and was definitely one of my go to restaurants when I didn’t quite know what I felt like having!
Ambience was nice. Service was great.
Fried barramundi (not pictured) was lightly coated and wasn't oily at all.
Lemongrass chicken dumplings tasted like a strange meatball.
Xiaolong baos were thick and stuck together so they broke and spilled the soup while trying to pick them up.
White chocolate dumpling dessert was pretty yum.
Overall it was a nice place although more expensive than other dim sum joints.
