How we read reviews →Doncaster East's tiny Shanghainese specialist serving authentic Wuxi xiao long bao you can't find elsewhere.
A small, clean and cosy shopfront with very limited seating. the focus is entirely on the food. No frills, no décor to speak of, but a warm and intimate atmosphere. The tight quarters create an authentic feel closer to a Shanghainese snack shop than a restaurant. Reviewers note a cold draught issue with the front door, but warmth of service compensates.
Wuxi-style xiao long bao (rare regional speciality in Melbourne), fresh or frozen take-away dumplings available for home steaming, handmade dumplings prepared on-site, tea eggs, herbal eggs. Tiny menu. everything made to order.
High. specialises in Wuxi and Shanghai regional dumpling styles, which are less commonly represented in Melbourne's Chinese food landscape. Reviewers of Chinese background describe the flavours as genuinely homeland-accurate, including one reviewer from Wuxi noting it replicates the hometown taste.
Very budget-friendly. Wuxi xiao long bao and mini wontons priced affordably for the quality and rarity of the product. Reviewers consistently flag reasonable pricing as a positive.
