Went to this restaurant. The food were so amazing and it’s so traditional Chinese food. My friends loved the food there.
The fish was so tender and so full of flavour. The spicy dumplings were top … More

I got the pan fried pork and chive dumplings with the stir fried beans with pork mince. This was really good!
But the price was very high just for these two it was 40$
I think that’s way too much especially since it wasn’t very tidy in there.
The bathroom was neat but a bit creepy since it was all white light.
But otherwise THE FOOD AND SERVICE was great!
Would go again if I wasn’t paying!

Very disappointing experience.
Ordered wonton noodle soup, waited 35 minutes for food to arrive. Had to remind the staff 20 minutes in. No apologies.
When the food was served, it was in takeaway containers (I had not ordered takeaway). Still no apologies.
The waiter took the takeaway back to the kitchen and returned to the table with the bag of takeaway and a bowl for me to serve myself.
When I paid and explained my disappointment to the staff, they tried to justify it and say the wait wasn't that long and that I had ordered takeaway.

The food was super yum and the portion sizes were great for the price. However, they didn’t have many of the dishes available when I visited, and the staff seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. Still, a tasty spot overall!

Probably one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been to in Australia. Every dish was delicious, even the vegetable fried rice was tasty enough to enjoy on its own. The only downside was the slow service. The dumplings came out after we had finished everything else already. Still, a must-visit if you’re in Newtown!

The best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Hands down. We had the whole barrabundi (perfectly cooked, so flakey and delicious), the sizzling chicken, beef and prawns (to die for!) and the salt and pepper squid (incredible!). How have I gone so long not eating here?? My mouth is sad because I’ve stopped eating. 12/10 would recommend.

I rarely write negative reviews, but the service here was honestly appalling. While the food is tasty and cheap, the atmosphere is ruined by the staff's attitude - specifically the middle-aged gentleman. … More

A friend recommended This Gourmet to me, and it turned out to be an unexpected surprise and a true culinary delight. Their dumplings are the best I’ve ever had, and the sizzling plates have a uniquely delicious flavor. The ingredients are fresh, and everything tastes amazing. I’ll definitely be recommending this place to my friends.

Solid dumplings, but the Chinese food space in Sydney is pretty darn competitive.
On its own, in a random town, it would have been a 5. But, in a city dense with next-level eats, this is getting a 4.
It's no-frills, but priced the same as restaurants with a touch more frill ($15.8 for a serve of veggie dumplings). It also has a smaller selection and not as comprehensive listing of sides.

There's one veggie dumpling, which was alright, but dough-y in the middle due to how it was folded. Not as comprehensive of a selection as other restaurants.
