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.

I like Fei Yu-Ching and tacos. Dumplings were good and gluten free apparently. very interesting thoread more

This is one of those places that you will find scattered around the various food courts. While I've…read morehad dumplings before they aren't really the type of food that I would go out of my way to eat - that is until I came here. I have to admit that their dumplings were delicious. It is one of those places that you could go and grab a decent feed to take back to work, and then drool over what they have provided you. This place has basically changed my opinions on dumplings and I'm am not going turn turn my place on such restaurants in the future.

OK, I have a confession to make. I like spicy food. I love karaoke. Dumplings are my best friend. I…read morehave yellow fever. 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.

Absolutely stop here and get some dim sim! Our group stopped and got one for each person. I don't…read morecare if you're hungry or not, get at least one to try. I ended up eating three. 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.

Solid brunch place with some inventive breakfast items on a cool street. Ordered the babaganoush…read morebreakfast plate with two poached eggs on top of toast with grilled halloumi and a smear of babganoush on the bottom of the plate. It was tasty but the threw all of the items on the two pieces of toast piled on top of one another - like they were in too big a rush to notice or care and I had to reconstruct it myself. Would have liked a bit more of the eggplant spread given that it was featured in the menu listing up front and not barely enough to call it a condiment. Coffee looked pretty but was just okay. Nice place overall.
