Melbourne’s best kept secret. The dumplings are moorish and irresistible. Each dumpling is very distinctive and you can tell of the ingredients in each dumpling. If you crave some dumplings, this is the place to be!

The dumplings here are spot on silky, chewy skin with juicy, flavorful filling! The shop has a warm, cozy vibe and the staff are always so welcoming, even when busy. Super convenient near Melbourne Uni and close to the CBD. Perfect place to grab a bowl of freshly made, steaming hot dumplings after work，always satisfying!

The wontons and handmade dumplings here are so delicious. This is a dumpling restaurant that I really like and highly recommend.

Known for their freshly handmade dumplings made daily (yes, even the wrappers!), this Carlton gem has quickly become a top-rated spot in both Time Out and The Good Food Guide 2025 – and trust me, the hype is well earned. The menu is a tour through China's regional dumpling diversity, loving them all from the Northern to the Southern Dumpling variety. And give the Mackerel Fish Dumplings a try, as they are a rare find in Melbourne and an unexpected star. Authentic flavours, fresh fillings, and that perfect chew from wrappers made by hand. And it's kinda cool to watch them make the dumplings right in front of you too!

Dumpling Max is a hidden gem in Carlton! They specialize in dumplings, sides, and drinks, and they do it all so well. The dumplings are made fresh daily, including the wrapper, and you can even watch them making it right in front of you! The flavours are on point, and my personal favourite is the pan-fried dumplings. They’re crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Plus, the prices are really reasonable, so you can enjoy a delicious meal without breaking the bank.
