Hutong Dumpling Bar (胡同)

Amazing! The food is of a very high standard, BBQ pork dumplings and Peking duck dumplings a highlight. The service is incredibly efficient which I value more than a fake smile!!

Lovely food. Plates are generous and meant for sharing. I went to eat alone and found there was too much for one.

Don't understand negative comments. We had impeccable service and great food. A friend in the wine trade recommended the premise and we understand why.

Great atmosphere & amazing food - try the eggplant & scollop hotpot (it's not oily) & the dumplings are so yum that i actually forgot to take a photo!

Spicy pork dumplings and the 20 piece Peking duck are the pick, but it's all amazing. Worth the cost!

Top quality dumplings . The service is a little lacking and the prices are steep compared to other similar restaurants

Small morcels of pure heaven, xiao long bao (shanghai dumplings ) that explode with juice in your mouth is a must. Can't go past the sweet and sour pork . The eggplant with scallops was a tad oily. 4/5

Was excellent food, service and decor was hard to fault. Oh and was very affordable .

Really good dumplings ! Had to wait for peking duck and wasn't that good! Wantons in chilli sauce is the best thing ever! Well worth the price!

Was here in the early days when they first open, food is good but pricey ! Fine dining prices, much more expensive compare to other yum cha places. Could it be bcos it is next to a classy service apt?

Try the chilli wontons and xiao long bao dumplings -service was also good, very attentive

Lovely service, ridiculously good steamed pork buns .

Awesome dumplings . Sydney could learn a few tricks here.

Main courses tend to have too much oil. Often schezwan dishes are not spicy enough. Service is fast, tendency for waiters to hover about the place.

Order this it's what they're famous for

Nice food forgot the sesame allergy fatal thing but made up with nice service. Felt like we had our own waiter . The deep fried duck thing not the best too salty but rest was on the money

Apart from dumpling , the chicken dishes are awesome too.

Everything.

The food is generally quite good (try the aubergines & scallops ) but the service is incredibly patchy

Not sure why there are so many negatives for the service here. I dropped my chopsticks and they were swooped on & replaced within 10 seconds!

Duck dumplings are the best.

Listen to the waiter and don't order the sticky rice ball desert .

Dumpling in hot chilli sauce is a must!

Order the xlb dumplings and eat/slurp them while they're hot!

Great service once you get past the attitude at the door.

Get all the dumplings !!

Dumplings , of course

Duck dumplings and spring rolls are yum!

Not as good as the one in china town but still one of the best Chinese restaurant

Shanghai dumplings are amazing. Let the juices explode in your mouth.

The Shanghai dumplings are pretty good but everything else is average.

Best dumplings in Melbourne

Wanton in hot chilli sauce - sizzzzle spectacularly on the tongue ! Sensational!

lunch a good option... not busy and fast service ... peking duck ... YUM!!!

Try the chili oil wantons . Yum!!!

their Shanghai Dumpling is a must try

水煮鱼 is da bomb.

Service not really good. They just serve the aussies better rather than the asians.. Average foods with average atmosphere.

quality dropped. is kitchen taken over by Chinese instead of Cantonese? I doubt.

Floor service def needs a lot of improvement. Short of staffs by the look of things.

Washroom rating: 4.75/5

Great food, shit service

Not a fan of the wontons in chilli sauce . Too oily and not enough chilli . Dumplings on the other hand are fantastic!

going for sunday brunch today

Just walk away. Don't even bother.
