Everything was a let down and all food lacked any taste at all. We tried the special fried rice, cumin lamb, shao-long Bao, chicken and prawn dumplings in chilli oil . Special fried rice meat was spam...very not special Cumin lamb was really onion with lamb and some oil Shao-long Bao was boringly boring Chicken and prawn dumplings in chilli oil did not have any hint of chilli taste or kick So the only good thing was the tea. Upon paying, the kitchen and glassware was atrociously dirty. Glad I didn't ask for a drink. Really a must not try restaurant!

I usually get Chicken Fried Rice or some other kind of poultry dish. Everything I've ever had here is fantastic. Even their basic vegetarian spring rolls are really good. The minor downsides are that parking can be tricky and you may need to park a little bit away from here (which is a pain in the butt on a rainy night). Also, yes, a little on the pricey side as I mentioned before. But honestly, if you want good food and good service, then this is definitely worth trying.

Both were really great but even for $6.80 I think you should be getting a little more chicken than what was given

The crowd this restaurant attracts is not your typical Asian group, munching away on their deals. Nope - they're the worst kind of bogan. *Asian waitress takes order* *Bogan man gives the orders in a slow voice* *Then says "chop chop* *Bogan woman says "no that's for the Vietnamese"* What. What. What. ??? Well, to be fair that is the worst I've experienced. But the general customers of this restaurant are the most awful, culturally uneducated people. /End rant. My friends and I came here and we had plenty of decently priced dumplings. The unique thing about Chinese Jin Dumpling House is that they add a kick to their dumplings - a signature sesame oil - DELICIOUS! My recommendations: Spicy Beef Pan-Fried Dumplings Pork & Cabbage Pan-Fried Dumplings and of course... Xiao Long Bao!

This includes decorative screens and this serves to block visual access by staff to the table area. Why did they add screens? Well the place is now like a store room with dry goods and cartons of drinks stacked up. Should be "out back" in the kitchen and store. It feels like dining in a delivery dock. The used to have lovely modern marching crockery. It's now a mush mash of items bought cheaply. Nothing matches snd there is a cheap plastic feel typical of very low end Asian cbd take aways. Staff are always lovely. Obviously I'm this climate there has to be a bare minimum. That would be fine if staff could visibly observe tables to notice if a customer is doing that hand gesture we're all familiar with. But staff are blocked by the screens. The old tables used to have a nifty call button under one edge but that disappeared when new tables appeared. And the tables and chairs do not match the decor. Whilst the place is overall okay, it's now fairly crummy. The menu used to say we are dumpling specialists with a couple of extras. The menu has been tinkered with and a few extras have been added. It now feels a bit like a 1980s suburban Chinese restaurant instead of a funky dumplings joint.

The interior reminds me of red spice road but darker and less fancier. The music is more upbeat (playing radio hits). There's some long tables with more couple tables. There is a long drinks list. We sat between two couples. One couple was having a large tofu dish (I'm guessing this was the silken tofu) which was served in a massive bowl with a ladle. The other couple seemed to be having the kung pao chicken. Though I do like Sichuan food, I was not in the mood for fried food or dried chillies. Everything on the menu that seemed appealing was either friend or had dried chillies. I decided to go rogue and we ordered the whole snapper fish and the tofu with greens and bacon with steamed rice. The whole snapper fish with squeamy eye was quite bland. It was atop a red scant soup and topped with those fried red goji berries. It's a mildly flavoured dish but nothing to rave about. The tofu dish was better. Thinly sliced fried tofu with greens, fried bacon (not crispy) and some chilli. Again, no exquisite or exotic flavours just a meh dish. Service was slow and non-attentive. Don't see the need to go back. Quite disappointing. And very very overpriced. I've had better at Sichuan House in Chinatown for 1/5th the price.

The interior is homey too, very authentic old school restaurant in Asia. Their pork and duck are good, and their infamous omelette is awesome. We love a good fried tofu so we also ordered that. Overall, I'd recommend someone who's visiting Melbourne!
