Dumpling Alley Doncaster - Melbourne

Dumpling Alley has always been my go to whenever I visit Westfield Doncaster. They have one of the best dumplings in Melbourne <br/ <br/ What i ordered: Black truffle xiao long bao , dan dan spicy pork mince noodles , pan fried original pork bun, salt cured pork with vegetable fried rice<br/ <br/ They have a consistent quality among all of their dishes on the menu, you definetely won't be dissapointed

This place is always packed, luckily it was a bit quieter today for dine in. But takeaway orders were non stop! Waited 15 minutes to be seated because of limited seating. The staff member took our temperature and seated us. The restaurant felt high class even though it was right next to Coles. We ordered dumplings which arrived after 15 minutes. The vegetarian poached dumplings were yummy, but the pan fried ones were just amazing! The filling was actually slightly different and much more flavoursome. I would probably say close second for the best dumplings in the Eastern suburbs. I can't wait to come here again!

Wow: when will this place open up a real restaurant? Because their food was amazing. The seating arrangement is really tight and it looks like you’d have to queue a while during peak times, but if you time it well you shouldn’t have to wait. The shanghai fried pork buns were so doughy and fluffy and almost sweet. There wasn’t much soup in there but they were still fantastic. The prawn fried rice was so flavoursome and had a decent ratio of prawns and sausage. And finally, the pepis in XO sauce were large and plentiful. This place isn’t cheap (those 3 dishes cost a touch under $50), but the quality and taste was there. Staff were also pleasant, which is a nice change.

Had another great experience here today. I had the Szechuan spicy diced pork noodle soup<br/ 辣味汤面 with some pork dumplings 猪肉水饺 . They were both delicious. Ive probably been here 7times and every time but one, the food was great. Ive also has the xiao long bao 小笼包 which was great, with the exception of one time. Also had the spring onion pancake which was delicious. Anyway it's a great place, check it out!

The food is good and served quickly. The restaurant is loud and busy, but the food is delicious. Don't miss out on trying the dry noodles - they are fantastic. Despite being very busy, the staff were still friendly and accommodating.
