"This place serves a good range of Chinese dishes. Their dumplings are probably the highlight. Also tried their chicken wonton noodles, it was average. They also have a good selection of dessert drinks here from bubble tea to traditional Chinese teas. The price point on the food is really decent, especially. $15-16 for a whole plate of dumplings is awesome value for money. Also they accept amex here !"

"Wow, super yummy and cheap malatang. Choose what we want, a lot of options for mushroom, vegetables, meat, frozen assorted of meat balls. A lot of sauce, chili, peanut, sesame oil. After we choose, they will count and cook for us. There are 2 types of dry or soup with different levels of hot spicy. They have other cook food too It was so delicious and a good value. I love this place."

"So goooood!! Most spacious feeling malatang place I’ve been to yet, spacious I. The sense of dining and choosing toppings for your dish. Great choice and always love a serve yourself sauce area-copious amounts of spring onion, peanut crumble, coriander galore!! Dry hot pot option was yum, felt quite clean-not super oily. Keen to go back!"

"!! NEWLY RENOVATED !! Hong Yuan Version 2.0 is awesome. I had the self chosen buffet style dish ($3.50 per 100grams) , where you choose the food and the chef cooks it for you. Quite nice. You'll have to know what to avoid (avoid frozen seafood etc.) and choose the fresh ingredients(veges) and meats. Not a bad idea. I also had the fruit tea($10), it's okay, got heaps of fruits, nice jasmine tea base but totally not worth $10 imo. They also do a selection of other bubble teas. Try it out if you're nearby!"

"Delicious Malatang! $4.20/100g and can choose from dry or soup pot. The soup was so good store is a bit confusing as it’s split in two - Malatang and tea in one shop and then on the other side of the complex there’s another shop with the same name but does buns and breakfast foods."

"Good place to have a bite. The buns are always good; get the cabbage and red bean buns. Their fried dumplings are also delicious; we love the pork and chives, which I highly recommend. Overall OK but not that impressive."
