This place is famous for it's dumpling and always jam packed with customers. As others have said, this place serves the best xiao long bao in Melbourne.

Best dumplings in Melbourne! Great value and great service. Will be back time and time again. A visitis not complete without the xiao long bao. The bean curd with pork mince is fantastic also. Hint: Look for the Hutong Signature Dishes marked with a red chinese symbol next to the item on the menu.

Approximate cost: $10

Stumbled on this one with some work colleagues. This is the best dumpling experience I have had since my trip to China. The Xiao Long Baos are amazing, a definate highlight and a must-order. You sometimes have to wait for a table, and the service to some may seem a little rushed, unfriendly but is just what it is - anyone who has been to China will find it familiar that the service is this way! Great for a group dinner!!!!!

Really nice food. I went for the first time with colleagues and since then when I think of where to eat in the CBD this always pops in my mind. Nice taste and flavours.
