Steamed prawn & pork siumai (4) $5.5 Trivia: 28 dumplings | $38.5 | Thursday, 16 March 2017 | dinner | + Alex, Ian & Yenny We walked past this restaurant by chance, while on the way to another restaurant and after our first dinner, we weren't full enough so decided to drop by to try out their dumplings menu. Impressive Cuisine specialises in Xi An food and also has a big variety of grilled skewers. The smell of charcoal-grilled meat was amazing but we were equally excited about the various dumpling types.
- FINAL RATING: 3.4 / 10 - AVG PRICE: $1.38 / dumpling Our dining experience at Impressive Cuisine today was nowhere good enough to warrant another visit but other items on their menu might, especially the meat skewers. As far as dumplings go, unfortunately these were amongst one of the worst dumpling joints I've ever been to. The only great thing about our dinner here is the intense chilli oil, that is definitely awards-worthy. Apart from that, sorry to say we won't be back anytime soon. 45/188 Newcastle Street NORTHBRIDGE

This little humble dumpling house has always been a favourite of mine since last year! I've been here more than 10 times, eaten hundreds of dumplings and every single time their food has hit the mark! So what really set Authentic Bites' dumplings apart from the other joints? The fact that everything is hand-made (you can view the process through a window!), the thin-ness of the dumpling skin, the juicy dumpling fillings, the creativity in flavour combinations or all of the above? Guess you gotta pay the place a visit to find out!

AVG PRICE: $1.2 / dumpling Authentic Bites Dumpling House has never failed to impress me with not only the food quality but also the friendliness of their staff. I could not recommend this place enough for obvious reasons, it's the heart that was put into creating these little nuggets of joy that makes a difference and I always find myself salivating thinking of the next time I would visit again. Can't they just have a loyalty card system already?!?!! 100% would dumpling again, OVER AND OVER AGAIN! ANDDD if they bring back the prawn & loofah xiao long bao, my life would 110% be complete.

When Ian and I first arrived at the restaurant there was only 1 other customer in store. The place had a cozy vibe despite and the waitress made us feel welcome straight away. There were only 4 choices of steamed/boiled dumplings to choose from so it made it easy to decide what we wanted. Our dumplings were ready pretty quickly and the pork dumplings came out after 12 minutes.
- FINAL RATING: 4.75 / 10 -
AVG PRICE: $1.19 / dumpling There was nothing about this restaurant that stood out to really guarantee a return, in terms of dumplings. Other items on the menu might be more interesting though and I wouldn't rule out that possibility.

Ian and I visited this restaurant a few years back and it wasn't a great experience. We ordered a serve of steamed Shanghai pork dumplings but had to wait for 25 minutes and the restaurant was empty. When we asked the waitress she said that the kitchen staff needed time to cook them. Or more like they just forgot about our order because we received our food 5 minutes after that. Whatever the reason was, waiting for 25 minutes for dumplings was just unacceptable. You can see why we were reluctant to come back this time but for the sake of research, we made another visit and boy, weren't we in for a surprise! Not a good one unfortunately.
Upon entering the restaurant, we could see the difference in the interior, it looked newer, more spacious and a lot more modern. There was 1 other customer having lunch, and a waitstaff checking his phone behind the counter. He didn't notice us until we approached him at the counter asking for the menu. Not such a good first impression. We proceeded to order some dumplings and thankfully it only took around 10 minutes this time for the whole lot.
- FINAL RATING: 4 / 10 -
AVG PRICE: 95c / dumpling The customer service was definitely a let-down, which we already didn't expect much from a Chinese restaurant in the first place, especially when the waiter had no customer awareness. The dumplings did not taste bad and we didn't have to wait a long time for them but the fact that they weren't home-made just pushed us away the 2nd time. Certainly won't be back for frozen dumplings that we can just buy from the shops and steam ourselves at home.
