I spy with my little eye something starting with DUM for... Pan fried Chicken and prawn dumplings were tasty and cooked perfectly. The Seafood noodle soup had a generous portion of seafood with hand made noodles. Better than expected. Fast service and a good place for a quick lunch.

Aiya! How can I not telling you about this restaurant? This restaurant is one of my favourite restaurants in Jackson Court, Doncaster East. Why? The food is great. If you want simple authentic Chinese food, this is the place to go. The price is reasonable. The staff are friendly. I don’t know why some people told me the staff in this restaurant are rude. But I never experienced it. Perhaps those people who told me the staff are rude, they should have think about their actions in this restaurant. Were you demanding this and that when the restaurant was busy? Don’t you dare to think that I paid for the food and service, so I want it now!!! Back to the sharing, as far as I know the chef and the kitchen hands, they have prepared the food on site in the early hours, so they would not rush to prepare and cook the meals, then serve badly to their customers. Just love their food, so tasteful without too salty or oily. Good job! I’ll come back for the more buns next time!

The search for juicy explosion dumplings shall come to an end if you are looking for these types of dumplings! This is THE best dumplings in the east side, huge value for money, clean, friendly, tick tick tick! On all the departments! Overall rating of restaurant is 9.5/10!! You come here for the dumplings, I didn't come here for the noodles or mains, in all honesty we grabbed the black pepper beef on rice which was just average. My recommendation is get the dumplings and nothing else if you want to avoid disappointment! Make sure to get the pan fried pork bun and be careful of where u bite as they will exploooooode! (indication of a fresh, executed dumpling)!

This place has very cute prices and super big portions! There are many dishes to choose from, and lots of seating available. The food comes quite fast, but it can get busy during peak hours, so you might need to wait. Great place for everyone: friends, family, or solo dining.

This place ticks all the boxes in today’s rising cost of living. The portion is generous, food is delicious at an affordable price. Their deep fried dishes are great - light and crispy batter without being too oily. Try the sweet and sour fish and chicken rib rice. The Shanghai fried noodles and dumplings are also worth a try. Service also comes with a smile from the lady in glasses . Nice

Delicious Chinese food. We got the sweet and sour chicken on rice and the chicken was very delicious. The batter was just nice and not too thick or starchy. We also got noodle soup with wonton and it was tasty too. Affordable prices and friendly staff. Definitely coming back again to try other dishes.
