Value for money couldn’t be any better! Food is so good, my partner and I come here at least twice a month. Place is always kept clean and the staff are extremely friendly.
This place is a gem. Best Xiao long bao in the area. The chicken dumpling wonton soup is also a standout.
Been coming here for the past 4 years and might I say, it’s a box ticker ✅ the steam pork dumplings are a great compliment to the chilli beef on rice, which in itself is like Santa coming down the chimney with a bag full of gifts 🎅 Always a pleasant experience being greeted by the staff. An absolute must for any Asian cuisine lover.
Best Dumplings I have ever had" Also the other dishes are superb *****Sevice very fast,just love the place.It is byo which is very handy.I have taken quite a few of my friends there and they really like it.So worth a look.😊
This place was very busy. And why not? Really affordable tasty food. Byo option here. Not just wine but saw someone brought in beer. Duck was great, crispy and moist not dry.
We were passing by the neighbourhood and decided to venture into finding dumplings. This place delivered on flavour, above standard dumplings, and we have tried many. We ordered the fresh ginger n pork, and the chicken,veg,mushroom. Both which are a rare find were outstanding. Friendly service and chilled ambient.
We're here about once a week. I absolutely love this place. Authentic Chinese food and value for money. Best dish to try is the pan fried dumplings. The fried rice is a very generous serve and would probably be enough for 3 people. I once went there with 5 adults and 2 children and the bill was $56!
On the outside, it looks like your simple, average Chinese restaurant. Because that was the mindset I had when i decided to go here when all the other stores were closed, but I was dead wrong. Though the place itself looks like your usual Chinese joint, the food on the other hand is on another level.
Absolutely delicious food and so cheap. The service is great and food came out quick. It’s a tiny place so the atmosphere isn’t that great and appealing but the food is so delicious it won’t bother you. Massive servings!
A much needed restaurant for the area. Lovely dumplings and great value for money. Have been to this place many times now for both eat in and take away and have always been very satisfied.
Amazing dumplings.... Amazing food..... This place is a hidden gem..... The chicken and beef are very tender... There ia so much flavour in all their dishes....
Great little place. We eat there nearly every week. I've tried almost the entire menu now and have found only a few dishes I didn't enjoy. Great value, authentic style dishes and friendly staff.
Don't be spooked by the schlock shopfont. Great dumplings at giveaway prices. You can also try things like crispy skin chicken which are Chinatown-worthy. Go around the corner to The Valley Cellar Door for a bottle of BYO.

This is a place where we go quite frequently. The quality of food comparing the cost and quantity is really more than justified. The spicy chicken and rice is the best thing that I like. The taste is very vibrant and the price for the dumplings are also quite reasonable. Overall, this place is a recommended place.
Quick service and amazing dumplings! The honey chicken is also very nice and generous. Staff are very friendly and the prices are very cheap
Underrated, amazing dumplings! A little gem in Moonee Ponds. Maybe a good thing it hasn't been discovered by the masses yet. Looking forward to exploring the menu further - just wish they delivered!
Best dumplings outside Chinatown. Lots of other great dished on the menu. Fast friendly service. Can't go wrong here. Fantastic for a quick meal.
Good basic Won Ton soup, plenty of asian greens,
Excellent customer service, I was there just before opening time, I was ushered in and served
I will return
Reliable, quick & cheap dumplings.
We love getting the steam pork juicy bao (pictured) & the pan fried chicken/veg/mushroom dumplings (also pictured)- a good, filling meal for under $20!
The place doesn't look like much, but you will find it has a busy eat in & take away trade.
These dumplings won't be the best you've ever had but worth a try nonetheless.
Really delicious, honest dumplings! Have tried the vegetarian and beef several times and both have been very good. Also tried the spring onion pancake which was delicious, maybe a little greasy.
Dont be fooled by the basic shop set up.
Fast friendly service beautiful food, the steamed pork and ginger dumplings are amazing.
Best dumplings this side of melbourne
We popped in tonight to try something away from Keilor Rd and weren't disappointed! We started with chicken spring rolls, tasty but a tiny bit oily, pan fried pork dumplings simply yum and steamed prawn and chicken dumplings which were also yum! We then shared a special fried rice which was huge and really tasty, salt & pepper prawns tasty and the batter not too heavy, sizzling pepper beef, enjoyed them all and will be back!
Great takeaway place! Dumplings were generous in serving and cheap in price, but without skimping on the flavour or quality! Large dumplings too which was great, excellent value for money! Ordered the pork and chicken vegetable and mushroom dumplings and was very happy! Bit of a language barrier issue with ordering on the phone, but other than that very happy with the experience!
Tucked away in a little shop in Moonee Ponds, Dumpling House was dead when we walked in. We were a little apprehensive about eating here, given Moonee Ponds isn't known for Chinese food. My worries were unfounded, however, given how delicious the dumplings were. I would go so far to say they had the best pan fried dumplings I've had since I can remember.
We ordered a serve of boiled chicken, veg & mushroom dumplings, a served of pan fried pork and braised eggplant. The chicken dumplings had a generous and very flavoursome filling, and a thin, slippery skin. Dipped in some vinegar and chilli, it was hard to stop. The fried pork dumplings had a crisp brown shell and a juicy pork filling which was incredibly moreish. I concentrated on eating as many of these as I could while my dining companions enjoyed the boiled dumplings.
The eggplant dish was very oily - completely unnecessary, given the lovely flavour of the sauce. The eggplant was lovely and soft, studded with little surprises of edmame beans, still alive with crunch.
Next time, I'll stick to the dumplings and maybe order 5 plates of them.
Have been here more than 4 times now, it's so good to finally have a dumpling place in moonee!!!! It's also BYO with a cheap corkage fee which I dont remember haha, the staff are always super friendly and helpful, the place always clean and the food always tasty and fresh!! Love the chinese broccoli in garlic sauce!
The best place in Moonee Ponds to get yourself heaps of amazing dumplings and spring rolls, so cheap and lovely service. I haven't tried the mains yet but I definitely will!
From the outside it appears to be like. any other Chinese restaurant. Bad decor, old furniture, rickety chairs. Then the dumplings tell a whole different story.
The dumplings however are amazing. Especially the boiled pork and juicy bao.
There's only a small selection of dumplings but all have been top notch.
They give the best take away chili sauce ever!
LOVE the sweet and sour pork and Shanghai fried noodles. The dumplings are delish as well. Always such polite staff and very attentive. Great place for a cheap and yummy meal.
This place brings back fond memories of the simply decked out restaurant with the yummiest tastiest best value Chinese food of the 70's ! Lovely staff, super quick service and delicious dishes . We all over ate, but still could not finish all the dishes and the host offered us take away containers. Great place to take kids. We had the honey soy chicken, honey chicken, bok hoy with garlic, chicken corn soup, wonton soup, soup dumplings, pork fried dumplings, fried wontons, special fried rice - all 10 out of 10. The wonton soup was my favourite !!
Pros:
- Great value.
- Large portion sizes.
- Loved the Satay Beef & Rice dish! Have ordered this since and will continue to do so! :)
- Good dumplings
Cons:
- No Amex
- Broken front door almost impossible to close
- My chicken & corn soup came out after the rest of the food / mains.
- Chicken and corn soup had no flavour (Pro: at least it was only $2.50 as a lunch special)
Overall, very happy and will be coming back for more! :)
Great prices and quick service.
Big portion sizes.
You need to try eating here. I thought its not worth it but when the food has been served on our table, my god its so huge. Staffs are good they always smile even the cooks. It a simple chinese restaurant. Small and clean.
Excellent cheap eats, with high-quality food fresh and tasty this venue is always a family favourite of ours.
The meals are delivered quickly after ordered and they are of excellent proportion. The menu is quite extensive with the regular favourite of pan fried or steamed dumplings.
During our last visit we reminded of the faulty front door that does not close automatically. Every time a new patron would come in cold breeze of the evening would come through the front door onto the back of our necks, requiring us to get up and manually shut the door multiple times through the night. We did ask the waiter if the heater could be turned on and after a few times in asking it was obliged.
The venue is small but we still manage to have a party of eight and enjoy ourselves. Plenty of free parking can be found down stairs under the Moonee Ponds shopping centre.
There is also takeaway and eftpos available. You can even dial ahead and pre-order your takeaway.
Super tasty and Authentic with a low price. Will be coming more often!
Ordered a fried rice, and two stir-fries and it’s INCREDIBLE. Deceptively simple food but lip-smackingly delicious. I think their attention to details and choice of fresh ingredients made the food really tasty and healthy. The place is also super clean with friendly attentive staff! Will definitely come often now we have found this little gem!
