Waitress was not friendly or helpful. Food was yum but very little gf options for my friend who is celiac.
We had a great lunch and was economical as we only had tea, several dumpling dishes and a vegetable dish that was fantastic with a few different types we had not had before.
The Dumplings were great! Looking forward to the next visit.
Awesome venue and awesome food will come back again soon
Best dumplings in Melb CBD. And the Sichuan beans and pork mince are pretty bloody good too.
Best chili wontons in all of Melbourne. I've eaten here at least a dozen times, just for the chili wontons. Other than that, only 20% of their wine list is actually available, service is decent, prices are great, the rest of the menu is hit and miss
Amazing dumplings, good atmosphere, good service, pretty noisy though !
Great food delicious salt and pepper deep fried prawns. Great host
Service was good and food is always delicious but we didn’t get informed they were closing 1:45pm because of the cleaning in the kitchen until later. It was enough time but I felt a bit rushed.
Dumplings weren't as good as I remembered (I last went a few years ago). Especially the Xiao Long Bao dumplings, they were just average and almost tastes like something you can get from a cheap restaurant.
Delicious food and friendly service. Would recommend the pork dumplings!
Always a great visit thank you - everything was yummy
It was a great work dinner, overall enjoyed by everyone. Seated immediately, ordered easily.
Delicious food and a nice atmosphere! Not too noisy either which is always a bonus!
Everything - from entree to main to dessert was amazing.
Service was prompt,food was exceptional,very good value,staff were helpful and friendly,
Beautiful dumplings and setting. Great drinks list and service too.
Dumplings are amazing and great value, their other menu items not so much
Dumplings were delicious as usual. Service was a bit slow today but the quality of the food never fails to satisfy.
Best dumplings in Melbourne hands down. Very fast service and great experience.
Love the restaurant, love the staff...will come back soon. 5 stars
Great dumplings and very good service. Highly recommend if in the city
Extremely disappointing meal after reading in Fodors that HuTong Dumpling Bar has the best dumplings in Melbourne. We were seated in a small, out of sight niche with paint chipped monochrome colored walls. After 15 minutes of no one coming to the table, we finally went and tracked down a waiter. No apology and indifferent service through the meal. The dumplings were okay but we had far better at a very casual little noodle chop nearby the day before. The lemon chicken was heavily breaded, deeply fried and had very little lackluster sauce. Ate less than half of this dry, unpleasant dish. Finally, the restaurant was noisy and decor somewhat tired.
We had the dumplings - food excellent, service great, staff friendly. Our booking was for 8pm and we were on the top floor; so engrossed in our conversations that we didn’t realise everyone else had left! Not hassled in any way to leave. Always a good time for us at HuTong. It wasn’t quiet and it wasn’t overly noisy, just people enjoying themselves.
Amazing dumplings and great experience, we will definitely be back
Delicious!!!! Always a visit when we are in the city.
A great meal with great service at a great price
Great food and service. Enjoyed it. Would come back again
The overall service was below acceptable standard. The manager (looking guy) was not courteous and very noisy when he set up a table. In addition, he talked to a waitress in a loud voice in Chinese. I don’t know if he was scolding a waitress. Regardless we were uncomfortable. The quality of food was also below average. We have a lot more better quality restaurants in Houston. In any case; we will not return to this restaurant.
Dumplings were fresh and choice of menu was divine. Service was with a smile and very quick. Lovely experience and enjoyed the atmosphere of upstairs dining room.
Love this place the shao long bao is my favourite
We have been here twice now & it was just as good the second time!
Great dumplings , friendly and efficient staff and a really nice atmosphere . Will definitely go again.
we had a later lunch reservation on sunday of 1.15 which we didnt feel was late. we were not aware the restaurant closed at 3.00. we were consistently rushed by the staff and one staff was particularly rude and unhelpful. she didnt want to be there. this place had become a regular for us but we will now be taking our business elsewhere
I made a mistake with our booking time. The manager was very blunt and said the restaurant was too busy. I apologise and admitted it was my fault and offered to go elsewhere. He insisted he would find a table and just continued to be rude it was not a great experience and should gone elsewhere considering the circumstances. The meal was just average. With all the other choices of restaurants in this area we would not go back. Disappointed.
Love the place and the food the staff are a little aggressive.
Very nice food but not very nice service. The pressure to order is then ramped but when it’s time to pay, with diners still being served around us we were presented with the bill and the card machine
Amazing food and well worth the money. Highly recommend. Service is also fantastic
Never a bad meal here. Can’t wait until next time!
Just go for the dumplings. The rest of the dishes are underwhelming.
The waitress was unattractive. The dumplings, however, were delicious & the atmosphere trendy.
Great food simply done and friendly service. Authentic and full of flavour
Excellent service, attentive and helpful staff. The food was awesome. Thank you for a great experience.
Absolutely amazing dumplings great experience love it Thank you so much
Food was great as was the service, but is was so loud upstairs was almost like in a nightclub having to tell across the table. Perhaps for larger parties for birthdays might be an idea to place them in a separate area so not to disrupt the rest of the people.
Xiao long Bao was good but the pan fried dumplings were a bit doughy
We have been several before and rated the restaurant 4/5. However whilst the quality of the food remained high, the service has deteriorated significantly, the waiting staff were disinterested, we waited a long time before our order was taken, the staff never once asked if there was anything we needed, we had to catch their attention and ask for a glass of water, ask for a second drink etc.
Literally the best dumplings in Melbourne, great value and BYO. Just remember to book in advance and each setting is only 90mins.
Dining at your cozy place was a very good experience
great visit - thank you :) always a good time!
