She’s the boss (in and out of the kitchen). He’s the wok whisperer.
Together, they’ve been feeding Sydney since the ’80s — with little more than a wok, a handful of ingredients, and recipes passed down from memory, not cookbooks.
Before Grape Garden (葡萄園) was a chilli oil, a dumpling, or even a restaurant, it was just Mum and Dad — newly arrived from Beijing, building a life (and a kitchen) from the ground up in Sydney. They didn’t have much, but what they did have, they shared: flavour, warmth, and a deep respect for where they came from.
Nearly four decades later, not much has changed. They’re still in the kitchen. Still hand-making dumplings, still hand-pulling noodles, still feeding the community — one bowl at a time.
GG has always been about more than food. It’s about family, authenticity, and the kind of comfort that brings people together — whether you’re seated at our table or yours.
From our family to yours, welcome to GG.
