What Bertram Nikolaus likes about Shandong Mama:
Shandong Mama has the best and most interesting dumplings.It wasn't cheap but was very much value for money. We enjoyed it immensely. From what I can see, the takeaway menu is much smaller than the eat in. We look forward to visiting in person soon for more of the amazing dumplings. They are definitely a 'must try'. View all feedback. What Cara Nikolaus doesn't like about Shandong Mama:
The Restaurant is quite nice inside. This place specialty is Dumplings. The array of Dumplings is good. I didn't like the pancakes, though. I thought the variety on Menu was a bit limited, also. View all feedback.

Great little hole in the wall hidden in a tiny Melbourne Alley. The thing to eat here is the Mackerel dumplings.

Meeting up with friends, we savoured the pan fried dumplings and bean paste noodles with our green tea. It's good value for money, and service is quick.

Dumpling lovers rejoice at the hidden gem that is Shandong Mama in Richmond. While some found the prices to be a bit high, the quality and variety of dumplings were praised. The restaurant offers unique fillings like mackerel mixed seafood, and the vegan dumplings were a hit. The atmosphere is relaxed, with friendly service and efficient staff. While some felt the dishes were hit or miss, others raved about the fresh, flavorful dumplings and generous portion sizes. Despite comparisons to the CBD location, many still found the Richmond outlet to be a solid choice for delicious dumplings. Overall, Shandong Mama in Richmond is a must-visit spot for those seeking tasty and unique dumplings in a more laid-back setting.

The food at this restaurant is delicious, but it is a bit expensive. The dumplings are some of the best I've ever had.

Average restaurant with reasonable service and good food, however, the restaurant is rather diminutive and dated.
