Tao Dumplings

Best dumplings in the town. Best indifferent serving staff in the town too. Specifically the girl who paid no attention whatsoever either for taking our order or to respond to our queries or while serving to us. If this restaurant improves on service then I have no doubt it will have people queuing outside. Maybe that's something that the owners do not want. Who knows! Food: - sizzling chicken was delicious. The sound of the sizzle and the blue flame underneath the serving container adds to the flavour. - pork ribs were simply gorgeous. I can still feel their taste. Not because I haven't brushed or showered in days, but because they were absolutely delicious. Although, the sprinkled salt was a bit overdone. - veg dumplings don't need an expression for their goodness. These guys make them fresh and you taste that freshness. - crispy chicken was good. No complaints. There is plenty of parking in the vicinity.

What a find in the heart of Camberwell. Googled best dumplings in Camberwell and this was the top pick and Google was right. We went on a Saturday night and it was busy infact packed. Menu took a few minutes to arrive but service after that was great. Good was delicious, we had four dishes between 2 and a beer each bill was like $77. Food was very fresh and tasted amazing. Just go there.

Ordered $130 take away for 4 people. No problem with that. Food was not good. Problem with that. Eg, 2 fried rice dishes, one sticky but tasty, the other one had a powdery texture and was full of grit, my guess it was egg shells, but who knows. Tasted off. Lemon sauce was putrid, chicken dry, pork spare ribs were off, beef tasted weird. Garlic prawns and pork dumplings were ok, so I guess they’ve earned their one star. On multiple occasions the food has been entry level at best! But tonight was a whole lot worse than ever. Completely different to their early days. Never again will I spend a cent here. My advice to all, stay away!

We were there on a Sunday lunch. The food was a little blend, as if the ingredients weren't prepared properly before cooking. The service wasn't great either as the waitress just dumped the plate by my side and not in the middle of the table. They were trying to squeeze all 3 dishes on one small table and didn't offer any solutions. Maybe they were happy with giving less service as we are Asian. Not likely to go back.

Found this delicious dumplings place by accident after watching a movie at Rivoli. Been there twice since. Dumplings are freshly made. Went there on a Tuesday lunchtime and it is busy. No photos as we were hungry and finished them before we thought of taking them. Reasonable prices. Also have other dishes like fried noodles and rices dishes.

Sub-par food with even worst service. We ordered yang zhou fried rice and its one of the worst fried rice We have eaten. Rice was too moist and has big clumps of white rice. Do not order that. Their fried dumpling was not bad. Pork spare ribs with spicy salt was not nice in my opinion. One larger piece of the pork was not cooked Thoroughly.
