About Dragon Temple

Dragon Temple delivers multi-generational Cantonese comfort in Altona, anchored by warm family hosting and house-made dim sims. Regulars pack the tables for classic Hong Kong banquet plates—think sizzling Mongolian lamb, pipis tossed in rich black bean sauce, and crisp pork belly served alongside bowls of steamed rice. Proprietors Simon, Kim, and Billy run the floor with genuine familiarity, checking on tables and steering guests toward gluten-free options without dulling traditional flavours. Tables routinely pack out on weekends, and few diners head out the door without picking up a batch of homemade steamed dimmies or siu mai for home.

  • Decades of Family Hosting: Proprietors Simon, Kim, and Billy personally work the floor, treating long-standing locals and multi-generational groups like extended family.
  • Handcrafted Dim Sims: Handmade on-site, the restaurant's signature dim sims and siu mai are staple dine-in starters and popular takeaway orders.
