Dumpling King Canberra City

It's a mystery to me why this place is so quiet when their epplant dumplings are SO GOOD! The perfect vegetarian comfort food. They are quite heavy, so I like to team them with a fresh cucumber salad. Aged vinegar and chilli oil for dipping available on every table which is a plus.

I enjoyed the dumplings but I didn't feel they were too amazing. The eggplant dumplings were delicious, the beef and onion were nice, but I really did not like the vegetarian dumplings. Tasted kinda eh. Nice vibe of the place. No music though so was very very quiet

Absolutely delicious and very affordable, would definitely recommend. There are some good vegan options, the eggplant dumplings are the best, but would love some more variety for vegans.

Had the lobster dumplings, combination steamed dumplings, braised beef noodle soup and seafood chow mein. Ok, the lobster dumplings were delicious, however, everything else was quite questionable. The skin on the steamed dumplings were very thick and doughy and the filling lacked flavour and tasted like mush. Also the steamer basket was overcrowded, probably only add 6 dumplings in each steamer basket instead of cramming all 12 in one basket). The broth of the braised beef soup was nice, however, the hand pulled noodles definitely let it down. IMO the dough needed to be worked on/rested slightly longer. They broke easily, weren’t smooth and tasted mushy. The same noodles were used in the chow mein, the flavour of the chow mein was actually nice, but again the noodles itself let the dish down. Customer service was very friendly, so no complaints there.

I ordered the shredded chicken fried rice, and pork dumplings which weren't bad I just felt the dough was too thick, I couldn't finish them. Because I felt the ratio of the filling was over powered by the dough. Given the name of the establishment I came in with some expectations of having some great dumplings. As for the fried rice everything was nice but the chicken was not shredded as per menu. It was finly chopped up which to me makes a big difference. I don't think I will be going back. But also to that it's cheap and definitely big portions of food which I think is great!

Dog friendly restaurant with outdoor seating. The dumplings were good, but not the best. The service was good. Some of the chairs had holes in them, dangerous to sit on, but was easily swapped with other chairs that looked safe. Looked like the material used to make the outdoor chairs was falling a part. The tables and chairs were exposed to all of the elements. Tables had bird droppings on it, so avoided sitting at those tables. It started to shower while we were eating, but only lasted 10 seconds. The bao buns tasted the best out of all the dishes we ordered. Satisfied my cravings for dumplings. The bathroom was clean. I found it difficult to operate the bathroom door. (Sliding door) The staff were friendly to help me with the door.

This dumpling house has very good pan-fried dumpling, Xiao Long Bao, handmade stir-fried noodles, and Honey Chicken with Sesame. A staff, Tony was very kind, professional, and knowledgeable for all menu. I ordered an extra steamed rice on top of dishes for my starvation. I devoured those excellent and very fresh meal today one dish after another one. Added more, a bit of leftover food was saved for later in plastic takeout containers. It was a long day but recovered from this restaurant and a friendly staff. Definitely recommended!

The food and service was good but the fried rice on my last visit was very bland. Usually everything is good but the fried rice was like uncooked vegetables in simple white rice (no soy sauce at all). Salt and pepper tofu and dumplings were good. Overall a good place to eat!
