This was our second attempt in 6 months to come and try their food. The first time around we left after 10 mins waiting just to order. The service was terrible. We tried again last night and whilst the service is still terrible we used the table QR code to order and we didn't have to deal with the staff. The food arrived in a timely manner, hot and fresh. Home made noodle and dumplings are delicious. The cleanliness of the place questionable. Its a hole in the wall you don't come here for service, you come here for the food.

Great little hole in the wall venue that makes classic food at very reasonable prices. Love the amount of dumpling options and full of flavour. Best part is thr nostalgia of eating Chinese that tastes the way it did as a kid. Love it.

I’ve driven past this Chinese dumpling house so many times on my way to work but never felt the urge to stop by—until my friends moved into the nearby apartments in Ultimo and their landlord insisted it was a must-try. I finally gave it a go, and wow… I’ve seriously been missing out. It’s a small, no-frills shop with super affordable prices, and BIG PORTIONS. The pan-fried dumplings were juicy, crispy, and absolutely packed with flavour. The braised eggplant, although a little oily, was hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly—definitely an OG dish. We also had the crispy salt and pepper pork which was so flavourful and delicious. We didn’t manage to snap a photo of the spicy wontons because they were gone too fast, but they were also amazing—just a bit heavy on the vinegar for my taste, so I’ll ask for less next time. All in all, this place is a gem. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

One of the very few actually affordable spot with good food!! Very close to UTS campus, which is prefect for a student like myself! Wontons and dumplings are a must try here, and ordering can be done through a QR code on the table, which makes ordering super easy. There are only a few tables inside so dress extra warm on a winter night in case only outside tables are available
