So i went there to have dinner with my partner tonight and we had one of the worst experiences. The staff who served us was so rude and inattentive. There wasn't any greeting when we arrived, the staff just threw the menu on our table and walked away and when they came to take the order they even had food in their mouth and did not speak a word to us. To be honest, we think that the dumplings are amazing but we would never want to go back here because of the service that we had and I recommend for anyone who wants to try their dumplings... GET THEM TO GO because the staff's rudeness is not worth your time!

We ordered a couple of other dishes to try as well. The giant soup wonton itself was mediocre and while we still enjoyed it nevertheless, it was a little more disappointing for me as I may have had high expectations for it. The wonton soup was just a huge disappointment. I can easily make a better dish at home myself if this is how they are going to serve their food. The soup broth was tasteless and the dumplings were served in pieces as it arrived making the bowl of what could have been a nice hot wonton soup very unappetizing. The pan friend dumplings were quite nice and it was probably my favourite dish we had that day. The staff who served us was not very friendly, inattentive and seemed to have an attitude where she couldn't be bothered with having us dine there. I don't think I will be coming back here unfortunately, unless they take the initiative to improve some things.

It was covered in oil and sugar granules and finger prints.I asked the waitress if we could have another one.She looked shocked so I had to point out to her it was filthy.She then said they are all like that.I pointed to the next table and said that there was a clean one over there, she told me if I wanted it I could get it myself.Then I ordered my food.Dumplings that were crab pork but nothing resembled crab or pork,it was just a stinking fishy smelly fluid.I ordered curry beef vermicelli where the photo had nice slices of beef.When my beef curry arrived it had not 1 slice of beef.I called the waitress and she said that it's just a beef flavoured soup.I showed her the photo in the menu and she reluctantly brought me 2 miniscule slithers of beef.The staff are the most disgusting waiting staff I've ever experienced.The food that I ordered was revolting.The owner has spent so much on this new cafe and it is a waste of money .

Hey, I was grown up in Shanghai and this place totally exceeded my expectation for Shanghai street food! They don’t do lots of things, but everything they make is up to the top standard. During my years in Adelaide, this restaurant was like THE PLACE to go when I miss Shanghai street food. For those complaining about only Wonton no Shuijiao—— There is no shuijiao in Shanghai culture, only Wonton, okay?! I also enjoyed 咸豆浆, totally Shanghai style. Now I live in Sydney, but I never had equal taste in any Sydney restaurant. Wish they had a branch in Sydney Eastwood!!!
