Love a nan and pop owned restaurant, lovely service and prompt. Food is pretty standard Chinese food, we ordered noodle dishes. Good amount and tenderness of the beef brisket and beef pieces. Soup was fairly tasty, noodles were the typical store bought which I don’t particularly like the texture of but food is food. Decent price as well.

Came down here on a Saturday evening for dinner and they were already half packed. The first thing you notice is the place is very rudimentary, floor tiles is slightly greasy sticky and I knew it straight away the food was going to be good and authentic. The service is efficient and on point, got the menu and water as we sat down. Ordered the XLB, Xiao long bao, Chinese sausage fried rice, spring onion pancake and pan fried pork dumplings. The food came out very quickly and it was definitely cooked to order as the buzz from kitchen rang out for each order.
Spring onion pancakes were had a crunchy crust, the centre was chewy and packed plenty of savoury flavour, just like how I had it in China. The fried rice was cooked in a wok with nice amount of oil to keep the rice seperate and packed plenty of wok hei (breath of the wok). XLB was small in size but well portioned for a mouth explosion with the hot soup inside as you one biter. This is the real experience of XLB.
The fried pork dumpling is definitely made in store during the day over at one of the dining tables and cooked to order. The flavours were spot on and the bottom of the dumpling is crispy.
All in all we finished our food and most impressive is their chilli oil on the table is house made, the umami flavours and the mix of heat is perfect, not too spicy and enhances every dish ever so slightly.

Whilst staying close by we picked up some takeaway, the food was delicious and well priced. We had satay chicken skewers, fried dim sim, Mongolian beef and steamed rice. Lovely flavours and good serves. Will be back next time we are in the area! Recommended 🙂

Recommend this no frills dumpling house that also serves many other Chinese noodles, rice, and soup dishes. This popular restaurant offers huge variety of meat options coupled with noodle or rice. Restaurant was full even till late evening. Everyone loved the dishes. Warm family style dining. Prices very reasonable for large portions.

Had an early dinner here and the dumplings were quite good. We tried the xlb, plan fried pork dumplings, chilli oil wontons and spring rolls. The serving size was generous and each of the different dumplings were flavoursome without being overly salty.
