Empress of China

Great value for money, tasty food. I go there at least once a week. And each time the food is amazing.

Incredible venue, BYO alcohol for all those lovers or pairing wine with their food. Amazing atmosphere, always packed though so if you want somewhere quiet this place is not for you. Prices are near impossible to beat for the size and quality of the meals you get, especially their classic dumplings and rice or noodles meals. Overall an incredible location if you're looking for a great feed with friends.

Service is fast and the dumplings are tasty. Dumplings are also very cheap and you can BYO pretty much anything. Great place for groups.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR has never rang more true. The upside is it's cheap but there's a reason, veggie dumplings (panfried and boiled) have very little content, taste bad and look worse. Chinese broccoli, tasteless. The customer service is just as poor when asking questions about the menu and they will rudely rush you out the door, the second you exceed their 1.5hrs seating. Go a few doors over to Shanghai Street and the quality of the food and service well outweigh the few extra dollars you'll spend.

Nice little traditional Chinese restaurant in Melbourne's Chinatown. Service was quick and friendly and the food was very good. Very inexpensive, you could easily feed a family of 4 for about $50 here. The decor is old, the building is old and it's pretty crowded. If you can look past that you'll have a great time here.

Little old fashioned Chinese restaurant hidden away in China town. It claims to be one of Melbourne's oldest Chinese restaurants, having been established in the 1970s- let's just say some of the decor is very reminiscent of that time While it certainly isn't flashy, what appealed was the fact that the food speaks for itself. We had quick, efficient service with food delivered quickly to our table. What we got was good, old fashioned Chinese food- the way l remember it from way back. No fancy plates or garnishes- just lots of what you ordered. We tried steamed prawn dumplings, beef, prawns and rice. All were delicious - though l am not really a fan of the Aussie rice with corn and peas. For tasty, no frills affordable food l would recommend.

I enjoyed the dumplings, I don't have dumplings all that often, but... each time I do have them, I love them!!.. is it possible to make a bad dumpling?? Nice hot food, and it's pretty chilled! 😎 Nice

Good stuff. Dumplings are served piping hot so be careful.

V good

Shocking service. Rude staff. Basically have to do everything yourself, not sure why they bother having waitstaff. Might as well have picked up my own meal from the kitchen. Honey fried chicken and chicken dumplings were pink inside and the special fried rice chicken was grey and slimey. It's a miracle I don't have food poisoning. Do not reccomend if you want to prevent a bad experience and potentially food poisoning.
