Unfortunately this restaurant was a little bit of a let down. Very very below average. The shallot pancake was all pastry, with 3 or 4 pieces of shallots so awful. The Vegetarian dumplings where tasteless with lots of cabbage :-( Spring rolls where ok nothing to brag about. The Mongolian beef is a very Spicy and the beef was nice and soft.

Couple that with the meals being of generous size and you certainly have found good value for money. The food is rather nice. However the seating is a bit of an issue. It does have a cramped feel. The drink choices certainly aren't anything to right home about as well. Overall though if you want to take some friends for a great chat while sharing an array of dumpling flavors this place is suited. The value for money is what makes this place worth it. I wouldn't say this place jumps out. Which is a shame.

I thought the wait and C raving about how good this place is meant it was good, well IMO....NOPE. Ordered the following items: Zha Jiang Noodles - eh, probably the worse I have tried. Stir Fried Clams with X.O sauce - wanted a better flavour Xiao Long Bao Pork - okay the skin is way thicker than DTF and not sure if there is DTF, why go to this place. However, I don't recommend DTF in Westfield Chatswood. Dipping sauce for this sucks too. Nothing to put your sauce in and no offer of fresh ginger. Steamed Lion's Head meatball with Crab - I've tried other versions of this and this is the only thing I didn't mind. It didn't wow me, but I appreciate the homey feel of this dish. Pork Belly Steamed Buns - OMG and this is not a good way. I can't with these buns here - disgusting. Pork Belly is super dry and it's supposed to be Pork Belly and the cucumber was cut too thick and too dry tasting as well. Worse buns ever too! I don't get this place nor the high reviews.

They're not amazing but I didn't mind for the price. Pork buns were apparently pretty average, had onions no ginger, and too much soy sauce. They were also cold but it was near closing so the shop had run out of a lot of choices and also why they were cold. My vegetarian buns were still warm though! And they were in a cute leaf shape. Tasted good and had a variety of veggies in there. But the one to get here is definitely the pumpkin and tofu bun. These were very nice and slightly sweet. I quite enjoyed the black sesame bun also, however as with all the buns (and probably a major reason as to why they're so cheap) the filling was very minimal and most of it was the bun itself. Also there is no seating so you can sit at one of the tables outside the centre, or just take it home to eat.

Blink and you'll miss it, this tiny shopfront is stacked floor to ceiling with buns, steamer baskets and huge sacks of flour. Don't let the WHS committee know because this is where I carb up before getting out to battle for the freshest bunch of bok choy. The menu is a simply two black and white printed sheets of A4 displayed on the countertop which lists all sorts of sweet and savoury, filled and plain bao, as well as fried bread sticks and fresh soy milk, with most things giving you change from a $2 coin. That's right folks, this is bao - hipster level food - for tuck shop money. Most people get the pork buns but be adventurous and try their black sesame bun; soft pillowy bao encasing a gloriously nutty, black as night sesame filling. If you're lucky it'll be fresh out of the steamer and ready to scald your lips and fingers. Ah that hurt tastes soooo good.

Very casual dining either inside or out. Great atmosphere. When ordering, don't plan on the food coming out all at once but when it's ready. Sometimes reminds me of a Chinese Tapas bar. :) But I love this place. If you need something. Don't be afraid to ask for it.

My partner was not looking forward to it as he is unadventurous with food but he really enjoyed the fried pork buns, dumplings and sweet and sour beef special. We originally ordered a second main (crispy chicken with garlic and chilli), but after receiving the large buns (8 pieces) we cancelled the order. We were comfortably full by the end. The broth inside the buns is hot so follow the poke first guideline to save yourself a burnt chin/mouth. The service was incredibly quick.
