Shanghai Street Dumpling & Mini Juicy Bun小街小籠館

Reasonable prices, quick service, always busy at lunchtime, orders are even taken whilst standing in line to enter, good tasty food. I believe you are unable to book ahead, please check with the restaurant.

This restaurant is definitely on my must-eat list in Melbourne
The portion is generous and the store’s homemade chili sauce is very fragrant
so perfect!

The only drawback is that the store is too small and it's easy to queue up.

Male server was rude and not welcoming. When we called him over to order, we were met with “what do you want? ” Which is not what we expect from a popular restaurant in the CBD. Pork soup dumplings were amazing, one of the best we had. Disappointed that we didn’t feel welcomed to dine.

Tried the BBQ pork buns for a light lunch and they were fantastic. All the dishes I saw others getting looked so good that I'll have to come back for more some time!

Noodle crave and stop by for early dinner. Soup dumplings aka Xiao long bao was pretty good. If the skin is thinner it would perfect. Prawn and chicken dumplings with sesame peanut sauce was also very good. Spicy minced pork noodle very good. Would come back to try the other dishes.

Dumplings were ok except the skin is a bit thick n dry. The skin easily open up too. Service was ok. Nice n clean restaurant. Atmosphere was good as well

Deserving 1 star just for friendly staffs. TBut the food and the price are horrible, the salmon fried rice was too salty. Dumpling was dry bun and tasteless. Feel like I paid for the luxury price for street food.

Portions are very generous, super small place though, so say you'll share a table and you'll get in faster. Their broth used to be amazing, but it really lacked this time.
Great wontons though!

Four of us dined there around 1.30pm on a Sunday. The queue was long and because there were four of us so we had to wait for a bit longer than usual. However, the waitress let us order first, when we were seated the food arrived very quickly. We ordered all types of soup filled dumplings, my favorite would be the one with crab, it's so umami and sweet. Our least favorite would be the chicken and prawn as it's very dry inside. We also ordered wonton and pan fried buns, they are not as good as the soup filled dumplings.

Always busy with a queue, but it is fast moving. Service is friendly and efficient.
Food comes out quick and piping hot.

We ordered the pan fried dumplings, fried rice, xiao long Pau (steamed pork dumplings with hot liquid inside), kung pao chicken noodles and wonton soup. We enjoyed 4 of the dishes very much. Found the wonton skin too be thicker than what we’re used too.

Definitely a good place for a quick lunch.
Do try the chilli oil on the table. It’s full of flavour without the spicy heat. Compliments everything very well.

Negatives - a small place with tables placed closely together. Tables are small so it feels a bit cramped.
Highly recommend.

Line was relatively quick even though we lined up around the corner (20 minutes).
They will give you an order form for food and drinks. Food then comes out pretty quickly.
Service was standard for a joint like this. You have to pay for tea.
Good dumplings, xiao long bao was not steaming hot which I appreciated. Each dish was flavourful and quite affordable (minus the public holiday surcharge).

This is an authentic and reasonably priced dumpling shop. The fillings are flavourful and the service was efficient. Will visit again!

Food was nice but there was old food and hair sticking to plates, chop sticks, spoons and water cups which was really bad. Service was quite poor too.

Dumplings, Xiao Long Bao, Chinese Spring onions pancake, you look no further than here! It's always the same taste and the food tastes so authentic and delicious.
It gets crowded during peak hours with long queues. They also offer takeaway frozen buns and dumplings at reasonable prices.
They used to serve hot tea before the pandemic. No worries, they still provide water for dine-in anyway.

Staff were very helpful
Menu option is simple but good
Ordered dumplings in soup and steamed dumplings?
Was good

I had the wonton soup (pork and mushroom I think it was called) - absolutely fantastic! BEST wonton soup I have had in years, and I've tried a lot.
I was there mid week for a late lunch, and didn't have to wait at all.
Highly recommend, I can't wait to go back and try more from the menu

Very affordable great quality dumplings and meals. Had the Xiao Long Bao, Yang Chun Noodle and Fried Baos. (小笼包， 阳春面， 生煎包), all well done.

Yang Chun Noodle came as a surprise with its price (lower than $6 per bowl) with large portion and fresh ingredients. Good addition to the baos if you have a big appetite.

Customer service was prompt and polite. Been here long ago and can see improvements on the tidiness and cleanliness in the restaurant.

Only good thing is waiters provide good service. Overpriced and small portioned and one of the cold appetisers chicken with satay sauce/chilli oil was so bad we didn’t finish it

Outstanding food and very quick service. Fantastic place for a quick lunch, Kids enjoyed also. Highly recommended and will be back. Really good value as well.

Best dumplings in Melbourne!
Gave 4 stars just because the noodle too oily
Definitely coming back for more!
