Description

Tucked on Beaumont Street near the train station, this casual Chinese eatery serves generous, affordable portions with standout dishes — especially pork laksa, xiao long bao, rainbow beef and fried rice. It's ideal for quick, satisfying takeout thanks to fast service and a varied menu with plenty of vegetables, though vegetarian choices are limited. Atmosphere is relaxed and charming, staff are friendly, and flavors lean Southern Chinese; expect occasional inconsistencies in service and cleanliness, and note there's no liquor license.

I didn't get the chance to sit in, but the food and amount given for takeaway is definitely on the generous side. The food was great! I absolutely loved the Xiao long baos, rainbow beef and the lamb dumplings!! I highly recommend them! : Also I did not expect the rainbow beef portion to be so generous but I loved it nonetheless. I also ordered half a duck and pork/prawn pan fried buns.

Good size and tasty servings. Enjoyed dumplings, satay chicken and rainbow beef. The fried dumplings were moist and tasty. Rainbow beef cooked just right not overcooked or dry. Steamed dumplings were very plump. Very good!

The restaurant is lovely, and I absolutely adored the special fried rice! It truly lives up to its name with fantastic dumplings; we tried the prawn and pork dumplings, and they were delicious! The garlic prawns were also excellent, featuring fresh prawns without an overpowering garlic flavor. The fried dim sims were decent. However, the sweet and sour pork didn’t quite hit the mark; it wasn't the typical dish you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant. The ambiance of the place is charming, and most of the staff were friendly and welcoming, although there was a slight language barrier with some of them. Overall, it was a great experience, and we definitely plan to return!

The food was incredible! The xiao long bao were exquisite, and the pan-fried pork buns were absolutely delicious. They serve the best dumplings in Newcastle!
