Description

A visit to a Chinese restaurant in Sydney may leave you disappointed with subpar dumplings and oversalted dishes. However, if you're in the mood for some cheap and cheerful Chinese food, there's a cozy spot with hearty and satisfying dishes, speedy service, and delicious sides worth trying. On the other hand, for a fun time in Sydney, PJ's Irish Pub is highly recommended for great food, friendly service, and an authentic Irish atmosphere.

Visit of Melbourne and honestly the worse food I have tried in a local Chinese restaurant. Dumplings are not even handmade and soft, can taste the thin and hardness of the skin of dumplings, which means that they were bought instead of being handcrafted. Definitely not the $ 12.80 value. The salt and pepper eggplant was a little better. Way too much too much salt. Do not even trouble the effort to finish it because it was salty. It is as if the chef was thrown only a whole salt heap on the fried plants.

Beautiful place to go a cheap and happy Chinese food! The food was heard and very satisfying, and the restaurant was cozy with a fast service. Grief I love the pages of this place, they are so delicious !! Everything I really needed was a plate of dumplings and some of these potato and algae pages and I was discontinued. Grief But of course I tried some of the other dishes, and I found the squid pretty wonderful. Everything is worth it, it is worth to try so that they are not settled with one of the decisions.

If you're planning to go as a group, expect the food to come at different times and expect the staff to forget half the order as well. They will not be apologetic either as the prawn dumplings can take two hours apparently which they will neglect to tell you. Also make sure to order steamed because they burn the bottom of the dumplings if pan fried.  I would not recommend this place for dumplings as dumpling hut is a better choice down the road.

Lovely place to go for some cheap and cheerful Chinese food! The food was hearty and very satisfying, and the restaurant was cosy with quick service.<br/ <br/ I love the sides from this place, they are so tasty!! All I really needed was a plate of dumplings and some of those potato and seaweed sides and I was set.<br/ <br/ But of course I tried some of the other dishes and I found the squid quite delightful also. Everything was worth trying so you won't be let down with any of the choices.

I recently dined at Dumpling King and found the portions to be quite generous and reasonably priced. The food was delicious, though it was a bit on the greasy side. The restaurant allows you to bring your own drinks, which is a nice touch.
