It took a few minutes for the first plate to arrive, but after waiting for a while, the second plate of dumplings never came. I ended up leaving after receiving a refund. The food was okay, but the service definitely needs improvement.

I highly recommend the chive pancake, which has delicious flaky pastry and vibrant, zesty herbs. It is very addictive! However, the steamed dumplings were not as successful; the pastry was too thick and chewy, though the filling was okay. The fried dumplings and dumplings in chili oil were better. The service is abrupt and not very welcoming, and the dining area is quite large and uninviting. On the bright side, the dishes are reasonably priced. However, there are better and cheaper options available in nearby areas like St Albans, Deer Park, Footscray, and Sunshine.

The staff was not very conversational, possibly due to language barriers, but they were friendly and appeared happy. The food was delicious and came out promptly. Overall, it was great value for money and we plan on returning in the future.
