AI Summary

Melbourne Central's Shanghainese outpost. beloved xiao long bao, polarising everything else.

Spacious, Chinese-inspired dining room on Melbourne Central's top floor. some reviewers find the low lighting romantic, others find the shopping-centre setting impersonal.

Birthday deal offering a free serve of dumplings; large group and function-friendly seating; side sauces like chilli and sesame available to add to any dish.

Reviewers are split: some praise authentic Shanghainese staples like Dongpo Rou as close to the real thing, others describe the food as frozen or pre-packaged tasting.

Mixed. some reviewers call the pricing reasonable for the portions and location, others feel it's pricier than comparable Chinese restaurants for smaller serves.
