Amazingly flavoursome food. Everything we ordered tickled our tastebuds and filled our hungry tummy’s. Some may not be used to the prices but it’s well worth it! Scallop and Prawn Dumplings are fire!

$38 for these dumplings that were seriously meh, the spinach one had a funny texture a bit like pond fibre. Most of the other dishes were small portions, very average, and $$$. Atmosphere like a uni bar.

This is definitely worth a visit! Everything we ordered was delicious. The vegetarian dumplings are really unique. The food comes out fast so ideal for a quick lunch. The staff are really friendly. You order on a tablet so it’s fast and no waiting around for waiters. It’s really expensive for dumplings but worth the experience.

Funky space with the graffiti pop art decor and hanging lanterns, creating a laid back yet buzzing atmosphere. Simple menu with speedy service. The dumplings were great but the pork buns were fantastic and the star of the menu in my opinion. Don’t normally like pork buns but these were the exception! Plenty of tasty filling.

We had the scallop and prawn dumplings, pork shumai and prawn toast. All of it was very good. Well presented and tasty. One of the members of staff also came to chat to us about my nut allergy to make sure everything was okay. We will definitely be coming back!

A favourite dumpling place to visit in the CBD with friends. Only a short walk from Pitt Street Mall. Work in Progress has a nice menu selection and choice of alcoholic beverages. We ordered a cider & pint of Furphy. Received complimentary prawn crackers. I recommend ordering the lobster mini rolls (we order them every time!). Also ordered the scallop & prawn shumai and the salt & pepper squid. There’s also a choice of condiments to enjoy. I like ordering on the iPad provided on the table. The waitress even offered to split the bill when we paid which was handy. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere with fantastic customer service. I’ll be back!

Good place to come in a larger group setting so you can try multiple things. It’s almost like yum cha but not. The vibe of the place was almost like a modern, artsy, alternative white washed “Chinese” bar. There were all these retro posters/artworks on the walls, almost like you were in a London graffiti tunnel. The seats were quite tightly packed in and it was a little difficult to get around!

The food portions were so small, I was a bit disappointed- especially for the price you pay. The ambiance was very nice tho and I would potentially come back for drinks! The service was also great.

Some of the best service I have received in Sydney. Staff were helpful, explaining each dish and were very hospitable. The soup dumplings were delicious and setting of the restaurant was comfortable and great decor to look at.
