Lotus Dumpling Bar

The original Lotus Dumpling Bar has a post-industrial Shanghai steampunk aesthetic, with vintage Edison light globes hanging over a gleaming copper bar and copper utility pipes echoed in footrests, handrails and shelving. Overhead, boulders in bondage (faux-concrete planters) dangle, whilst on each table pretty ceramics house the requisite chilli, vinegar and soy. Yep, you're here for dumplings like Scallop and Vegetable Shumai ($13.80/4) which were an easy favourite. Team Pan Fried Pork and Baby Bok Choy Potstickers ($10.80/4) with Chinese TsingTao Beer ($10) and you'll likely be very happy.
