Surprisingly some of the best dumplings Iโve ever had. All handmade you get to see them being made in the front window of the store. We had them fried, steamed, and as wontons in noodle soup everything was delicious.
I visited the store a while ago (29.08.25) but finally have time to write a proper review. I had my tasting note on the phone so donโt worry too much about the honesty of my review. Really recommend for whoever is missing or wanting to try Chinese traditional dumplings. I ordered the Steamed Chicken and Prawn, Beef Dumplings combination. Definitely handmade, fresh, the dough had a good chew but unfortunately there were dried edges, which affects the textured when the dish is cooled down. Their filling on the other hand were great and very traditional, felt like I was transferred to a street full of small food vendors in China. I really recommend getting the beef filling. They are savoury, onion-y and juicy. I had to wait for a bit for the food but I donโt mind tbh. The space is modest but clean and you can definitely enjoy your food here comfortably.
Got to try this place because it was the only place opened after hours of waiting in the ED The auntie rolled those dumpling skins by herself and she made is fresh as! The wait is quite a while because it looks like she only have another auntie inside the kitchen. Each time we were there. Perfection! Definitely our favourite dumpling place in Geelong โค๏ธ #bulgogi_n_rendang
My ratings are based on how the restaurant fared based on my expectations. And this place hit all my expectations and beyond. It's not easy these days to run a small restaurant given the fierce competition out there. This place does not try to be fancy with its menu or the decor. It's a place where I feel at home, something my grandma would run if she had a restaurant. And with those expectations set, this place has authentic dumplings with the hearty taste you'd want from such a place. Loved every bite of it. Pan fried dumplings are crispy, the wanton soup is flavourful, and the hot sauce is actually hot. Why go to a fancy place for an inferior, wacky dumpling when you can have the original here?
Great tasting dumplings and fast service. The steamed dumplings are drier than most yet very tasty. There is only table seating for 14 people. No sign of any facilities. Cash and card accepted. Probably a bit small for wheelchair dining in.
