Friendly and fast service, intestines and liver taste so good, spicy matching rice or dumplings. And i tried the prawn pork chive dumpling was pretty good too, and looks special because prawn tails outside the dumpling.
Was craving intestines and they were one of the few restaurants on dominion road open at 3pm.
This restaurant is usually crammed with white people. So it’s safe assume the food preparation is relatively clean. The restaurant is considered tidy for dominion road.
The dumplings were steaks which is great. I got the prawn pork chive one and it is nice. The intestines were great and the kidneys were very tasty too. I also like their rice.
Overall great experience will be back to eat more soon.

Once a dumpling fan, always a dumpling fan and this place has some great dumplings along with other fare that is equally good. We had lunch there a while ago and though it was busy, service was quick and the staff were polite despite the busy state of affairs. We had some chicken dumplings, fried rice and I think it was chicken in black bean or garlic sauce. All of it was absolutely brilliant and I do want to go back soon.
Well-known for their dumplings and for a reason. Big fan of pork chive & prawn, and prawn fried rice 🦐
Good dumplings, enough quantity of food for the price you pay. Staff are a bit grumpy but they do the job. Non greasy food comparing to other fast food places in balmoral. So but healthier than other dumpling places. They also have frozen dumplings for takeaway.
I went there for dinner with friend. 2 of us ordered Shao mai, dumplings and fried noodle... taste is good as always, did expect too much service. You know? When we paying, we been told $37 EACH! It means $74 for those 3 dishes.:-( we double check her, but didn’t change.... sounds not correct to me.
Wow! Surprisingly delicious given how bad the Barilla on UoA campus is — I wasn’t expecting much, but was actually blown away by how tasty the pan-fried dumplings were, especially with some black vinegar.
Highly recommend the pork/prawn combo pan-fried — very much worth the extra couple of dollars for the uber-juicy, savoury, bouncy filling.

One of my fav hang out casual dining late night place... Few items are really nice, Deep Fried Beans, Dumplings, Brown Sauce Eggplant... However, staff is a bit rude or straight forward!!! But fun place to go and munch some snacks!!!
I like this branch more than the other bigger one. This is the OG !
Shao Mai is a staple and prawn steamed dumplings are delicious too.
Other items on the menu are also very delicious ! We tried the cold black noodles this days and it was absolutely refreshing and delicious.
Come out here if you’re looking for a late night bite :)
The dumplings are 5⭐ service a 3⭐ but definitely going back for the pork and prawn dumplings 🥟🐷🍤🥟🐷🍤🐷🥟🍤 also pork and cashews were a classic also👌👌👌
Really authentic and nice dumplings! My go-to for dumplings. A Dominion Road classic. However be aware that the service is blunt and direct so no smiles to be had here. Still in their old premises after all these years but what's changed are the prices! Now a plate of dumplings is close to $20 sadly.
We came back to Auckland late at night and were able to grab a table here before they closed. We grabbed a plate of the stir fried pancake as well as a spring onion pancake and two types of dumplings. They do have a fairly large range of dumplings with interesting flavours and can serve them boiled, fried or steamed.
The spring onion pancakes had a cumin taste to them so they were a bit interesting. The fried pancakes were nice as were the juicy dumplings. We purposely over ordered so that we had some treats to take home for another day.
Large share portions, extremely well seasoned meals and massive variety to choose from the menu.
Cozy and warm inside, well lit.
Highly recommend!!!
Highly recommend the dumplings. Some of the best I’ve had. The other food is also really good but fairly standard Chinese cuisine.
Everything was good but the fried pork n chives duplings is not like it used to be before. Always recommend lamb cumin but price too high compared to the portion

Our go to place for dumplings, sweet pancakes and eggplant in brown sauce.
Great place to eat 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼.
The salted egg tofu and jelly noodles were very good. The texture and flavour of the dumplings were pretty decent, as were the fried noodles. However the porkbelly and pancake dish was disappointing. The pancake was instead cold man tous with mushy exteriors and tough, dry interiors. We were apparantly missing a 'pancake' from our dish and were given an extra bun wrapped in a paper towel shortly after being served.
Not a first time customer here. I'd recommend trying the dumplings (pork&fennel or pork&chives), tofu, and noodle dishes to those unfamiliar with the cuisine.
We ordered 7 dishes for 6 people, with some left to take home. Expect $100-$130 for 6 people.
Really nice dumplings and good portion for the price. The sweet and sour pork was absolutely delicious! High recommend it with rice. The stir-fried noodles was flavourful but a bit too greasy and oily.
Not the best service but you can’t expect more from these cheap-eat restaurants.
Price for the quality is out of this world.
They will not disappoint.
Thank you staff🙏
