Description

A trendy and cozy restaurant in Fortitude Valley offering a variety of delicious dumplings. The experience was enhanced by the friendly and helpful staff. However, some customers found the portions to be small and the quality of certain dishes lacking. Despite some mixed reviews, many enjoyed the broccoli and carrot salad and the vegetarian dumplings. The open kitchen contributed to a homely atmosphere, making it a go-to spot in Brisbane for some. Some customers experienced issues with glass in their food, which was promptly resolved. Overall, the restaurant offers a good dining experience with fast service and reasonable prices.

Flavour of xiao long bao is nice but the dumpling skin is thicker than traditional XLBs so the top is a bit chewy. Steamed dumplings also nice. Pan fried dumplings were a little dry. Vegetarian spring rolls were definitely the standout. Overall was good but not amazing.

The waitress with the braided hair is definitely worth the trip alone, she's amazing : <br/ <br/ The food is phenomenal. Constant morsels of delectable nom noms. Atmosphere is light and casual while having a sense of comfort. You're attended to, fed well, and head home feeling like a bit of a Fat Dumpling yourself ^ ^

Three of us were seated at the window bar on a busy Thursday night. It’s a small space and they get the service and meals out really quickly. Loved the all the dumplings and worth trying the cucumber side.

I love this place. Went for the 2nd time last night had delicious dumplings salt pepper squid, best squid in Brissy. The hospitality is so warm too! The owner's daughter (I think) complimented me on my hair and made my night, she was so lovely and made us feel really welcome. Coming here always feels really cosy and familiar and also thank you for introducing me to plum wine! Will be back again soon.
