Yang's Dumplings ★★★☆

Image
229 Exhibition Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia Yang's dumplings was my favourite dumpling  chain in Shanghai, so I had to try it out here too. The eatery itself is small but the service was bright and cheerful. Lots of menu options to choose from, not only dumplings. But the dumplings are what we came for. Very generous in their soupy filling but the flavour wasn't the same as in Shanghai. Still would recommend trying out! Pan Fried Pork Bun (6 pcs) $9.80 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Nice and crispy base! Loved the generous amount of soupy filling inside ★★★★ Steamed Black Truffle Dumpling (8 pcs) $12.80 Not that much truffle flavour, but the dumplings had so much soup inside! Perfectly chewy skin too!  Menu Yang's Dumplings Most Popular/Recommended : Pan Fried Pork Bun Xiao Long Bao Price : $$ Address : 229 Exhibition Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia Opening Hours : Monday to Sunday: 11am - 3pm, 4:30pm

Butcher's Diner ★★★☆

Image
10 Bourke Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia Butcher's Diner is known to the place where chefs go to dine after work, so we did have some expectations. Food was decent, but not spectacular. Loved the DIY assortment of condiments on the tables to add to dishes as you liked. Cash Only. Probably wouldn't come back. Selection of condiments Loved having so many different sauces to choose from! Grilled Cheese Toastie $7.50 Decent amount of cheese filling (2 varieties of course). Buttered and toasted bread gave it a brioche vibe ★★★☆ Cheeseburger $12.90 with Hand Cut Chips (small) $4.50 Overpriced for what you get. Bun just tends to melt away. The meat patty is nice and juicy but not a fan of all the gristle inside. ★★★ Decent chips ★★☆ Menu Butcher's Diner Price : $$ Address : 10 Bourke Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia Opening Hours : 24 Hours Website : http://butchersdiner.com/ Have thes

Goody's Burger House ★★

Image
168 Lonsdale Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia Goody's Burger House has the prime location on the corner of Russell and Lonsdale. However their burgers didn't match the real estate. Wouldn't come back A variety of Burgers, Fries and Loaded Fries The loaded fries were good. Great topping and good flavour. The regular fries went stale really quick. The burgers were average at best, their patties were not juicy or flavourful. But perhaps that's the style they want? ★★ Goody's Burger House Most Popular/Recommended : Country Style Fries with Cheddar Sauce and Bacon Price : $$ Address : 168 Lonsdale Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia Opening Hours : Sunday to Thursday: 11:30am to 11pm Fridays and Saturdays: 24 Hours Website : https://www.goodysburgerhouse.com/en/ Social : https://www.facebook.com/GoodysAustralia/ Have these details changed?

Rice Kitchen ★★★☆

Flavours are decent but prices are slightly on the higher end. Would recommend! Hanoi Spring Rolls (2pcs) $4.50 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Super crispy and delicious spring rolls! ★★★★ Sticky Hash Brown and Chicken $13.50 The sticky hash brown was a good alternative to just sticky rice. Not much flavour though. Chicken was really nice and tender ★★★☆ Traditional Beef Pho $13.80 MOST POPULAR! Decent flavour, but definitely not the same as the usual pho restaurants.
