I ordered chicken and prawn dumplings and pork and chive dumplings. I didn't like the pork, the chive was overpowering, but the chicken and prawn were incredible. Each one had a capsule of tasty liquid that burst into your mouth as you bit into the dumpling, I'll be hoping back. I also ordered noodles.

Delicious dumplings, have been coming back for multiple times with consistent satisfaction. Good establishment with not only great food to offer but also organised and clean. Will kept coming back to try different dishes in the menu Edit. Back to the restaurant and tried the share dishes. Fish in Chili soup is flavoursome without chili flavour dominating the dish and the mongolian beef is simply gorgeously fragrant and divine.

Came here waay too often. While we haven't tried many of their dishes, we always order pan fried dumplings (pork/chicken) and mapo tofu.

I read these reviews, and I don't get the hate. I've lived in the West for 5 years, and my son and I always go here for no frills Chinese. It has never disappointed us. A lot of the other places are over the top. I know this place is always empty, but I see how many online orders they get. Delivery drivers are constantly coming in. Sure, the lighting is a bit harsh, but overall, we are always full and satisfied. The Chinese broccoli in garlic sauce is YUM.

WHAT A GREAT FIND!! FRESH CHINESE CUISINE SERVED QUICKLY AND PROFESSIONALLY With the name "McDumpling" you might expect mass produced low quality food BUT it is actually very good. Dumplings do, of course, star on the menu (and they are quite tasty!) but there is quite a range of other dishes on the menu. The cuisine is probably best described and Sichuan influenced Chinese. Prompt service with a smile. You get a table, browse through the menu and go up to the counter to order. Meanwhile you will be served tea in a thermos flask (we are in the middle of "little Vietnam" after all!). Mix and match a selection of dishes if there are a few of you dining and you get to try a few more things :) Very modern and clean. Not noisy. People with mobility issues have a small step up to negotiate on entry but once in the restaurant the floor is even; including the toilets at the rear of the dining hall. Cash and cards accepted. Parking along Hopkins Street is never easy so park anywhere nearby (or catch the train to Footscray) and walk the last little stretch.
