How we read reviews →Flemington's longstanding dumpling house. pan-fried or boiled, with a Sichuan side that surprises first-timers.
Spacious dining room with carved wooden wall artwork and custom hanging lights. more substantial than the plain exterior suggests. Generally quiet atmosphere; limited background music noted. Casual and functional, suited to a quick family meal or weeknight takeaway pickup.
House-made dumplings. handmade on the premises, noted by reviewers for freshness. Signature Sichuan chilli sauce available to accompany all dumplings. Large dining room accommodating groups. Online ordering and UberEats delivery available. Separate vegetarian and Sichuan-style menu sections.
Dumplings are handmade on-site with Northern Chinese technique. The Sichuan-influenced dishes (boiled fish in pickled soup, chilli oil wontons) are described as authentic by multiple Chinese-background reviewers. One reviewer specifically notes the Liaoning and Sichuan dishes are 'absolute delicacies'.
Good value for in-store dining. 15 dumplings around $14-15 is competitive for Melbourne in 2024-25. Recent price increases have frustrated some long-term regulars, and a subset of reviewers flag that portion sizes for non-dumpling mains have shrunk. The dumplings themselves remain the value anchor.
