What travelers say:
I will go just about anywhere to have good dumplings, and this one did certainly not disappoint. One of my favourites is Din Tai Fung which I have dined at in many cities in Asia. I believe they do the best Xialongbao (Shanghai Soup) Dumplings. The Dumplings at East were just as good. Perhaps the best this side of Shanghai. On a recent stay at the Sheraton Melbourne we found East Bar and Restaurant next door. It is actually connected to the Sheraton, but you enter from the side street. Seeing that they had Xialongbao on the menu, I just had to try. One word "Delicious"!!. Although I didn't ask it was apparent to me that they have a very qualified dumpling chef. The dumplings, and not just the Xialongbao were all very fresh and tasty. The prawn dumplings were wonderful too. If you are after great dumplings in Melbourne, then East Bar and Restaurant has my double thumbs up.
