How we read reviews →Melbourne laneway spot famed for handmade xiao long bao and Taiwanese fried chicken.
Bustling, no-frills laneway dumpling house with tiled floors, wooden chairs and a view into the open kitchen. casual and often noisy when full.
Handmade xiao long bao made fresh daily, a secret family chilli sauce for the wontons, and an open kitchen visible from the dining room.
Reviewers are split: Taiwanese diners praise the handmade xiao long bao as authentic, while others feel the food strays from traditional Taiwanese or Chinese cooking.
Budget-friendly share plates that most reviewers call generous and good value, though a few felt the dumplings were pricey for the portion (around $21 for 8 pieces) and flagged a 10% weekend and public holiday surcharge.
