How we read reviews →Carlton's queue-worthy dumpling den. hand-wrapped pork & chive dumplings and fiery Sichuan chilli oil wontons.
Small, warm and buzzing Carlton shopfront with an open dumpling-making station in full view of the counter. cosy rather than polished, and genuinely packed at peak times.
Wrappers hand-made and dumplings folded to order in an open kitchen visible from the counter; regional specialties like mackerel and fish roe dumplings rarely seen elsewhere in Melbourne.
Praised by Chinese-speaking reviewers as tasting like home, with a menu spanning Northern and Southern Chinese dumpling traditions rarely covered this broadly in one shop.
Repeatedly called reasonably priced and great value for generous, freshly hand-made portions.
