Dumpling Workshop — Restaurant in Melbourne

Went for dinner last night with my partner and food’s not too bad at all. BUT, 2 star rating reflects the service we got last night from the ladies.

We had so many leftovers and my partner and I agreed to take them home. As I went to the toilet and my partner got caught up chatting with guys from another table, without asking any of us, one of the ladies just CLEARED OUR TABLE, without even checking on us if we’re done. When I got back, my partner just told me what happened and told the lady that she should’ve asked us if we’re done. She giggled when she realised her mistake then weirdly said thank you (?). I understand they probably don’t speak good English but when my partner said the same thing at the counter while he was paying, the girls there can’t seem to understand what my partner meant and they just kept on saying the word “complaint.”

It’s a basic courtesy to ask your dining customers if they’re done, not just clear customer’s tables just because you guys are...

I have been to Dumpling Workshop a few times and I always enjoy their food and service. The dumplings are fresh, juicy and flavorful, and they have a variety of options for different tastes and preferences. I especially like the chicken and chive dumplings, which are nicely wrapped and have a generous amount of filling. The fried rice is also perfect, with a nice balance of ingredients and seasoning. The crispy lemon chicken is another highlight, with a crunchy texture and a tangy sauce that is not too sweet or sour.

The staff are friendly, attentive and helpful, and they always make sure that the customers are satisfied. The restaurant is clean, spacious and comfortable, with a modern and elegant decor. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food, and they also offer takeaway and...

We came here for brunch (I know - odd place for brunch) with absolutely no one inside when we arrived.

This being considered service was perhaps a tiny bit slower than you’d have expected with only two people present.

However when we were attended to the service was kind and polite and attentive with everything coming as ordered.

The crispy lemon chicken was amazingly flavoured, perhaps just a little too much of the sauce as it made the chicken a touch soggy. The taste however was ridiculously good with a fantastic crunchy texture.

The fried rice was flawless- no further comments except to say perfect.

The dumplings were the let down. They were quite over cooked and a bit rubbery.

Overall the food was 7/10, service 8/10 decor, 10/10. Beautiful place, lovely staff.

Will definitely be back.

Thanks for...
