Authentic Bites Dumpling House - Perth

I am blown away by this little placeI wish there was more of them or at least a bigger placeThe place reminds me of Din Tai Fung but not quite.

I'm not sure if I happened to order the wrong dishes, or this place just lost it completely.

Ordered through uber-eats one night and the food was really awful. Tasteless and bland. If you want good Chinese, try Miss Chows in Claremont.

I like the steam dumplings, especially the veg ones. So juicy and yummy, full of goodness . Pahlallalalallalalalallalalallalalallalalallalallal

We came here for dinner on a rainy night and the place was packed. We thought it must be good then. We ordered the xiaolong baos, the steamed dumplings, the pan fried dumplings and fried pork buns. I have been to Shanghai before and eaten at NanXiang which is one of the best xiaolong pao restaurants. I was hoping that this place would have some comparison to it. Sadly, it is far from it. The xiaolong pao skins were a bit thick and the fried pork buns were too big. The pan fried dumplings skins weren't crispy enough and I didn't appreciate that it all came stuck together. It looked good when served but it didn't taste as good as it looked. I have to be a bit more relaxed here as this is Perth and not Shanghai. I would say that as a restaurant here offering these sort of cuisine, it is better than most. My major gripe is actually customer service from one of the staff. She was the cashier tonight and when she came over to our table to check that whatever we have received was what was on the docket, we asked if there was a problem. She didn't say a word and didn't look at us. She looked at the docket and at our table and walked away. Rude is all I can say which is why I gave this place a 2 and a half. I don't like giving a place anything less than 3.5 but I am very particular about customer service as well as the food.
