WOW. If you like…read moredumplings this is the place to go. I can't wait to go back. We had the dim sum platter and it was amazing. The salt and pepper tofu, squid and prawns were also a delight. The tofu was so creamy and delicious. For mains we had the half duck, snow pea sprouts and steamed rice. They were really busy and we waited quite a long time for the main. They totally forgot it or had an issue in the kitchen. Our order got rushed to the front of the line and arrived in no time after that. The staff were professional and very apologetic and also took it off out bill. Even tho it wasn't the best experience they made it a great one! The cocktails list also hit the spot, I opted for a queen sour. I recommend it! Safe to say I can't wait to return for more dumplings!! YUM

You will probably need a reservation…read more 10/10 for lush ambiance. 10/10 for service. I actually dislike Merivale joints because usually the staff act like they are impossibly cool and they're doing you a favour by getting you a table. Not here. They were uniformly really warm and friendly and attentive. 9/10 for food. Really, really fantastic food and cocktails. Amazing dumplings. The Moreton bay bugs and rice dishes were a standout to me. I can see why everyone loves this place and why it's hard to get a table of you just show up randomly, even on a Tuesday night (it happened to me!).

Was super excited to try the dumplings here and they definitely lived up to the hype. We started…read morewith a nice jasmine tea. It was a light pink color and a had a hint of sweetness. We then ordered the manga, kiss me, starburst, and snowwhite dumplings. The kiss me dumpling was filled with chicken, ginger, shallot, and soup. It was super flavorful and simple. The starburst dumpling was filled with chicken and Luyu homemade soup in a fruit infused flour dough. Honestly tasted pretty similar to the kiss me dumplings did not taste fruit. The Snow White dumplings were adorable as they looked like bunnies. They had shrimp and a delicous sticky exterior that was made of potato starch dough. Our last set of dumplings were the manga ones which were filled with different types of mushrooms. Wow, the presentation was incredible as they looked like hedgehogs, but more importantly they tasted amazing. The crunchy dough texture was a nice change from all the steamed dumplings. We also had the duck fried rice and the eggplant. The fries rice was delicious and the duck added so much flavor. The sticky eggplant was very unique. I had never had eggplant prepared that way. Overall, would give a 4.5 a wonderful meal and would definitely come back to try other dumplings and dishes!

Finally went here for dinner the other night after almost a year of walking past and staring…read morelongingly. A friend and I ordered carrot dumplings, hedgehog dumplings, fried rice, spring rolls, chicken dumplings and a glass of wine each for about $80 total. We're not usually massive eaters but this is one of those places where you have to make an exception! The spring rolls are easily the best I've had in Sydney, and the dumplings arrived with three dipping sauces which were actually quite distinctive, unlike many restaurants which seem to offer multiple bowls of soy disguised as other things. The servers were some of the quickest, most efficient staff I've met in all of Australia, and seemed to have the speech about ingredients and spiciness down pat...even rote. However, the fried rice arrived well after everything else, and at 8:30 on a Friday night, I felt like we were being rushed out the door despite empty tables. Even so, the dumplings were delicious, and the speed with which everything else arrived was a good fit for how hungry we were! Given how much food we ordered, the price was really fair, too. Can't wait to go back!

The restaurant is very stark with its no decoration interior. Anyone would think you are about to…read moredine in a prison. The tables of happy eating customers tell me that this place serves up good food. I was right! So were the reviews by fellow Yelpers recommending to 'taste for yourself and see?" I chose the a bowl of Rice Vermicelli with Pork ($9.50) also I had to try the much raved about Spring Rolls (4) $4.50. When my meal arrived it was missing fresh mint. Some restaurants do and some don't. I asked the polite waitress if she was able to provide some - as this fresh herb really adds flavour to this Vermicelli dish. She obliged happily. The menu has so many different dishes to choose from and they all look extremely tantalising to my taste buds. Everyone is eating happily with out a sound, obviously to busy enjoying the food to be able to waste time in chatter. I'm definitely eating here again when next in Newtown and would recommend it to any of my friends.

There's no time like Pho time!…read more That's my cheesy saying every time I go out for Pho, which... since Pho Grand from my NYC days... I haven't really had a favourite place for Pho in Sydney... *pouts*... Well, I have found it! $7.50 buys you a bowl of delicious, authentic pho here. The broth is amazing. Their spring rolls were so-so, but I didn't come here for spring rolls, so who cares. LOVED THE PHO, WILL BE BACK.
