Deer Park Dumplings — Restaurant in Melbourne

The best way to order is by the menu number and once we realised that it wasn't long before our table was covered with generous serves of fresh, hot and aromatic dishes. We ordered spring rolls amd satays for the entree which were as good as anywhere in the area. The standout however was definitely the dumplings.

The combination of steamed and fried were all amazing. My partner loved the C9 (xiao long bao) with each one beautifully juicy and none broken (always a disappointment and often happens). My favourite however was the B1 - the vegetarian steamed dumplings. With a little soy, vinegar and chilli dipping sauce these were just the way I like them ... absolutely perfect! The entree servings of 6 or 7 pieces worked out really well as we were able to order a number of different dishes to try.

The fried rice was gluggy and had no taste. The worst dish was the lemon chicken. This was overfried and so dry you couldn't even cut through the meat. The only saving grace were the xiao long bao and the food was delivered quickly. I was really excited to see a dedicated dumpling place in the western suburbs but don't believe we'll be...

Ordered takeaway of • fried wontons in chilli oil broth - this was too oily for me BUT the broth thing was delicious because of the bean sprouts, so maybe get the steamed wontons instead. •xiao long bao was pretty good and wasn’t broken, not much soup but I enjoyed and it satisfied my cravings, I also feel like you should get the dumpling and chilli oil sauce for free with this order but I didn’t get any so I made my own at home. •pan fried pork and chive, I ate this with the bean sprouts from the other dish and omg it was heaven, so if you can get that bean sprout dish separately...
