First of all, please be aware that there are 2 Nam Loong chinese restaurants along Russell Street. This review is for the more casual one on 223 Russell Street (opposite the Mantra on Russell Hotel). You can't miss it as the moment you enter, you will see a counter with piles of different kinds of "bao" in front of you. I have been here several times on my previous trips to Melbourne. Recently, I was there for lunch on a Saturday pm and the cafe was reasonably busy, but I was seated very quickly with a complimentary pot of hot tea. My order was taken very promptly and the food arrived very quickly. I started out with a bowl of their hot and sour soup, which was laden with lots of seafood and other yummy ingredients. This was followed by the roast pork and tofu rice. The food portions were very generous and the food was delicious, as it had been on my previous visits. Whilst I was sitting there, there was a constant stream of customers coming in and in particular, there was a great demand for their wide variety of buns ("bao"). I also tried their wonton noodle soup and their char siew bao for dinner on another occasion during that same visit and both were delicious. The menu was quite varied and the food prices were very reasonable given how big the portions were. Of course, if you are looking for ambience, then you're not likely to get this here at this no-fuss chinese restaurant, but the food more than makes up for it. Overall, I was very happy and will be returning to my favourite Chinatown go-to restaurant in the future. Strongly recommend that you visit this restaurant.
