So many restaurants to choose in Chinatown but so glad we chose Dragon Boat! A very comfortable…read morerestaurant with a good wine selection and menu including live seafood choices. Lots of choices made it hard to choose so we tried a few appetisers and mains. The service was very good and staff friendly. The food came quickly and everything was delicious. Definitely recommend the scallops and the crocodile. Standard choice of Asian desserts. Plenty of seating for couples, small or large groups. There are a few steps at the entry and restrooms are upstairs so not suitable for disabled access. All credit cards accepted including American Express. Highly recommended.

If you too have this lament, I recommend you shimmy over to Rainbow Restaurant. It's a tad tacky and honky style, but goddam it it will help inspire your inner Asian! A group of us headed over late one Saturday night to belt out karaoke. Cue lots of power ballads, Bon Jovi, Spice Girls, bottles of champagne and deep fried treats to keep us going. Seven hours later and with hoarse voices, we stumbled out filled with the warm inner glow that only karaoke until you're croaky can provide. I should work here.

Great value, but a bit more when it's weekends..... All u can eat seafood!!!! N hot pot!!!!!read more

If you are looking for some proper hand made Chinese dumplings this is the place to be…read more They are fresh and no matter if you go for beef, pork or sea food they taste amazing! And on top of that you are ending up with less than 15$ for dumplings and a drink. Don't go here on your first date as it is not a fancy restaurant but therefore offering really good hand made food for a very good price!

Do yourself a favor and stop by Yum Shanghai Dumplings next time you are in this area. These are my…read morefavorite dumplings in all of Melbourne! I've lost count of how many times we've been here and have been meaning to post a review on Yelp for a long time... And here I am finally! I'll get to it- Try the pan fried vegetarian dumplings, Thai fried rice, and the Chinese broccoli in garlic sauce- all incredible (like the rest of the menu, I'm sure). The owners are lovely people and are always happy to accommodate our vegetarian diet. They have made vegetarian Ma-po tofu for us before- also super delish. They make their dumplings daily and you can see them being made when you walk past on Victoria Street. I've posted photos of the take-out menu I have at home but I'll post photos of the food next time I'm there... Which will be soon I hope!!

I honestly don't understand the hype around dim sims (when someone mentioned dim sims, I thought…read morethey'd meant dim sum) but it's not bad either. How could you go wrong with fried deliciousness filled with meat. It's worth trying for the experience (pretty iconic and this store is the OG) but I probably won't be back.

They are great! Your only choice is steamed or fried. Our group was split on which was best but my favorite was steamed. If you are in the area, don't miss the opportunity to stop by and try it. It's absolutely delicious! It could be a snack or you could make a meal of it like I did. If I lived in Melbourne, this would be a regular stop.

The portion is on the generous side and the price is reasonable for lunch in the CBD. My favourite is the teh terik is not overly sweet and you can call up and order for pick up.

We picked up our number by the register and waited in the small enclosed entryway. Seating inside was a little tight as they squeezed five of us on a four person table. The roasted lamb ribs were so good. It was tender and well seasoned with distinctive cumin flavor. There was a generous amount of fish included in the sichuan boiled basa in fragrant chili soup so all of us got more than enough. The soup was spicy but not overpowering like other restaurant preparations. The final dish was mapo tofu and it had a decent heat level with lots of cubed tofu. Service was ok. At the end of the meal, we paid at the register. There was a 5% discount for paying with cash.
