This is my favourite place to grab a meal,no matter what I’ve ordered it’s always fresh and tastes great especially the calamari and wantons in chilli.Keep up the great work ����
The meal is Chinese meal is best ever meal in Eastland.
Been eating here before and after lockdown. Roast duck and crispy pork is better quality than Box Hill and Springvale. Roast duck cooked perfectly and no bones!!! crispy pork, stays crispy and has less fat. Even take away tasted good after bringing it home, which other places failed to keep up with quality! I’m picky with asian roast meats, hands down this place is the best! The male manager/owner is friendly and professional too!
Friend suggested to come here for their $30 all you can eat lunch. For the price paid you can order anything from their a la carte menu (except lobster), over a two-hour sitting. I gotta say it’s a super amazing deal and well worth it.
We were originally going to order three rounds but was already super full after two rounds. Still devoured plenty of yummy food! Highly recommend the xiao long bao, har gow, roast duck and chicken pastry dim sum. For an additional $3 per person you can also have unlimited tea (comes in a pot with a cup each), and I do suggest drinking it as a palate cleanser. At the end we had the green tea ice cream which was nice and creamy.
We came for the buffet lunch on a Saturday. Service was really quick and the food quality was quite good, not mind-blowing obviously but really great value for $34pp. Diced beef fillet in Cantonese sauce and the Peking duck were the stand out dishes for me.
Surprisingly great place to dine for a family with young kids (babies). Spacious and relatively quite vs the food court next door. Food was excellent and portions were substantial, service was also very friendly considering it is a Chinese restaurant. The roast pork was a standout, crispy crackling and succulent moist and fatty meat, just the way I like it. Staff changed our order to the all you can eat $34/pp special once we had exceed this ordering a la carte - what a pleasant surprise! Already planning to come back.
This place is a lot more roomier than it looks from the outside. I was pretty surprised by the quality of dumplings we got here, everything tasted fresh and was juicy too
First time to this recently opened restaurant in Eastland shopping centre.
We chose the buffet style. All you can it. Except crayfish. We ordered from the menu and then we were told that crayfish was not included. That is fair enough.
We tried bit of everything and mostly they all pass the tastebud test with ease. Roasts pork and char Siu were good. Standard testing dishes of Cantonese beef, cashew nuts prawns, Kung bau chicken were quite good. Soft shell crabs and salt and pepper egg plants were very good. The serve sizes were excessively large for buffets. They could size the dishes according to the number of the eating party to save the environment.
Desserts were very nice and all seven of us doubly ordered.
The young guy serving us is very nice and friendly.
Overall the first impression is very good.
Located in Eastland, Block 7 Dumplings is a stunning restaurant serving moreish Chinese cuisine. Upon entering Block 7 Dumplings St Kilda, diners will be pleased by the restaurant’s chic ambience. Designed to capture a contemporary and communal feel, the expansive dining room is adorned with wood, splashes of colour and different textures for a stunning contrast.
We were invited to Block 7 last night and couldn’t believe the quality of the food considering it’s shopping centre location. There were literally 400 items on the menu and the service was impeccable. It was a world away from our original experience (which admittedly was over a year ago) and we were all really impressed.
We tried several traditional dishes and things I wouldn’t generally think to order including the chilli wonton, Peking duck, fish fillet in hot chilli oil, seafood combination in green curry and the fried string beans with minced chicken. Some of the dishes were quite spicy but with a fresh watermelon juice and the delicious pineapple fried rice it all balanced out really well.
Would definitely be returning for the lunch special, the dishes and service were of such a high caliber we really couldn’t fault it. The staff even helpfully packed up the leftovers and my mum pronounced it more enjoyable than Melbourne’s m renowned Red Spice Road which she had visited the week before. High praise indeed
Update
We caught up with friends for dinner last night and decided to try Block 7 having heard they had a $30 all you can eat lunch special we figured we should give the dishes a test run. Unfortunately the food made me feel quite unwell and despite the nice atmosphere and friendly service we won’t be returning.
It’s one of those places where you fill out your order on the paper provided. I requested two serves of prawn dumplings being a bit fan but immediately regretted that when I bit into the first one. Each of them fell apart at the touch of a chopstick and the casing was not pleasant to eat.
The fried eggplant dish fared better although there was some inconsistency of cooking with some pieces a little rawer than others. I ended up eating all of that as I didn’t enjoy my chicken satay dish. This was quite spicy despite requesting mild on the form as was one of our other dishes.
The staff did review our forms before leaving the table so if it wasn’t possible to make the dishes less hot they should have said so. Aside from that the sauce was watery and the chicken didn’t taste like it was good quality. The noodle dish two others ordered was more of a soup and they were less than impressed with that. Overall quite unsatisfactory
We really love the $35 all you can eat lunchtime special, basically full menu available too
Fast service, delicious dumplings.
Nice and spacious dining area. Tasty food and comfortable seating.
Xiao long Bao is juicy but the skin is too thick.
Overall pleasant dining experience.
Decent Cantonese-Chinese style for a shopping centre. We enjoyed the stir fried beans and roast pork and bbq pork combination. Xiao long bao was nice but filling a bit bland. The roast meat was tender but cost $27 for a very small serve which was disappointing.
We regularly plan "movie nights" just for another excuse to eat here!
The food is stunning. All of it.
Black pepper fillet steak, spicy salt and pepper calamari are our two favourites, incredibly tasty.
Food arrives within 10mins, every time.
Don't expect much chit-chat from the staff, and the self ordering system adds further speed to reducing the time from entering restaurant to gorging senseless.
My bank account is thankful we don't live with their delivery zone!
Would never have expected this level of food from a suburban shopping centre.
We sometimes try their “all you can eat” if we didn’t have our lunch . If I order from the menu , I feel that their price is more expensive comparing with the similar Chinese restaurant outside . Maybe they are located inside the shopping mall so their menu is a bid costly.
Actually their food were not bad . Just a little oily .
The best is 紅油炒手 which I highly recommended .
Nice staff and ambience. This end of Eastland near the cinemas is quite nice and the lighting is more dimmed than the rest of the centre. Xiao long bao could have been tastier, but everything else was great, and seeing them being made in the kitchen was really nice.
