How we read reviews →No-frills Kew dumpling shop. juicy pork wontons and laksa soup that locals put on speed dial.
A modest, easily-overlooked shopfront on High St Kew that reads more like a takeaway counter than a restaurant. There are tables for dine-in but most regulars order online or phone ahead. Old-school, no-fuss atmosphere. come for the food, not the fit-out.
The laksa soup combined with dumplings in the same bowl is a crowd-pleaser unique to this kitchen. Pork wontons in chilli oil are a standout. The stir-fried noodles in Sichuan oil have attracted repeat customers who call this a comfort-food staple. Sweet and sour pork and honey chicken round out the Chinese-Australian side of the menu.
Chinese-Australian menu that blends traditional dumplings and wontons with Sichuan-inflected noodles and Chinese-Australian classics (honey chicken, sweet and sour pork). Not deeply specialised in any single Chinese region but the dumpling and wonton execution is the genuine strength.
Very affordable. laksa dumpling soup at $11, dumplings and mains at competitive prices. Some regulars note portion sizes have shrunk over time relative to prices, but overall value remains strong for the Kew area.
