Ordered: sui mai, pan fried chicken and chive, fried rice, duck spring rolls, wonton and har gow. All the dishes are great and reminiscent of a traditional yum cha affair. Growing up on this type of cuisine; dumplings have become part of my backbone and so it’s hard not to have higher than usual expectations. Many of the dishes were very familiar which was both a good and bad thing; good in the sense it tasted yum, bad in the sense it wasn’t anything particularly exciting. However, one dish stood out from the rest- the duck spring rolls. Such delicious fried goodness. The vibe of the restaurant is a bit strange though with its euro-grunge decor. But nonetheless - easy ipad ordering system and food came out quick. Don’t know what the bill was as it was a company lunch but it’s probably not going to break the bank.
Work in Progress is cool. I love the vibes of this place and love the music in the background. It feels more like a bar than an eatery. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the food very good and it’s not too expensive for a Merivale restaurant. #workinprogress
Came on a Wednesday afternoon just for drinks, but would LOVE to come back for dumplings some time. The service is good, the manager is very friendly, and the space is SUPER COOL.
