Dumpling House

I love this place—Dumpling House. After one year and eight months as a regular customer, today was our last meal here. These are the best dumplings I have ever eaten, and as a world traveler, I can confidently say I’ve tried many. The place is small, but the portions are big and delicious. It’s my favorite spot in Auckland, and I will miss it dearly. My favorite has always been the pork and chive steamed dumplings. You get 16 large, tasty dumplings for just $20. It’s a family business, and the owner, along with his family, provides lovely service. While you don’t often have to wait, when it does get busy, it’s worth it because they make everything fresh, not from frozen. The food is consistently delicious, and we’ve always received excellent service. I rate it the best dumpling shop ever, anywhere. Thank you to the owner and his lovely daughter for taking care of us for almost two years and for the wonderful food they served us.

Best dumplings I've ever had in a very long time!! We ordered the pork, chives and prawn pan fried dumplings and they were absolutely delicious, generous portions, there was a whole prawn in each one! The garlic vinegar sauce is top tier along with their chilli oil! Highly recommend!!

We had pork chives and venison dumplings. The portion was huge – if you are not a big eater I would recommend taking the size S instead of size L. It tasted great and the price is reasonable. The dough is really silky and the meat was tasty. Could be juicier though. If I understood correctly, everything is handmade from dough to filling (even the minced meat is made in-house, that's really awesome). We had to wait for 15 minutes and the owner gave us algae salad for free. He seemed really busy since a lot of take-away-orders came in, so I really appreciated him being thoughtful about us. However I would not recommend to sit in if you want a cosy dinner. The place is quite small and the door was left open. Our table as well as the porcelaine jar of the soysauce were dirty. Also worth mentioning: not everything on the menu displayed outside was available. All in all it's a good choice for dumplings for take away or a quick dine-in.

I sampled four varieties of dumplings: venison with spring onions, lamb with carrots and cheese, pork with coriander, and prawn chives with water chestnuts. Among them, I must highly recommend the prawn chives with water chestnuts. Its unique freshness sets it apart from the others, and the crunchy texture of the water chestnuts is truly a standout feature!

Bomb food for such a good price (20$ for 16 pieces). So filling and very large dumplings. Was told we could get two different options if we got the large so good to ask in case you wanna try a couple of flavours (though we asked for the chicken/chives and chicken/coriander and seemed like they both tasted the same…). Nonetheless super yummy and super cheap for all the yummy food you get.
