Flavour of xiao long bao is nice but the dumpling skin is thicker than traditional XLBs so the top is a bit chewy. Steamed dumplings also nice. Pan fried dumplings were a little dry. Vegetarian spring rolls were definitely the standout. Overall was good but not amazing.
The waitress with the braided hair is definitely worth the trip alone, she's amazing :)
The food is phenomenal. Constant morsels of delectable nom noms. Atmosphere is light and casual while having a sense of comfort. You're attended to, fed well, and head home feeling like a bit of a Fat Dumpling yourself ^_^
Three of us were seated at the window bar on a busy Thursday night. It’s a small space and they get the service and meals out really quickly. Loved the all the dumplings and worth trying the cucumber side.
I love this place. Went for the 2nd time last night & had delicious dumplings & salt pepper squid, best squid in Brissy. The hospitality is so warm too! The owner's daughter (I think) complimented me on my hair and made my night, she was so lovely and made us feel really welcome. Coming here always feels really cosy and familiar and also thank you for introducing me to plum wine! Will be back again soon.
Very good dumpling. Had the pan fried pork and Chinese cabbage ones. Nice staff. Very cosy environment and has Asian beer. Will come back again.
Fat Dumpling is a solid choice for all your dumpling type needs in The Valley. It's well appointed and decent price points. Well, maybe a little on the expensive side but when The Dear Luncher is having meals paid for him by work who the f--k cares right.
The only criticism The Dear Luncher has is the lack of a beef dumpling option. Sure, pork is fine. Pork is great in fact. So great that all three dishes ordered contained pork products. But no red meat option in the form of dumpling is disappointing. People say it's because the isn't traditional or authentic. Well to hell with that. Add these to the menu Fat Dumpling and you will make one travelling Victorian very happy.
To be honest some the food you can get BEST in Brisbane, and Definitely the best dumplings——yeah, The service same as the FOOD so amazing!!!!!
Lovesssssss the nice dumpling Restaurant😘
I would Definitely come back!!❤️
Great little dumpling place, with extra friendly staff and delicious food. Everything is tasty and freshly cooked. My only disappointment was the lack of soup in the xiao long bao. Definitely good for a group to share.
I went to Fat Dumpling with two friends last night. We order Pork Belly, Green Beans, Pork XLB and some pan fried dumplings. The beans are amazing, I would highly recommend it. For the fried dumplings, I love pork and cabbage most. Also, nice staff and quickly service. Can't wait to come back.
Outstanding dumplings, the XLB is AMAZING!!!!
Went on a monday night, service was above and beyond. For the quality of food i felt the prices were more than reasonable.
2nd visit and will be back.
Delicious dumplings
My husband and I dropped in for a quick Sunday lunch and shared a serve of spicy green beans, wontons in chilli oil and steamed prawn, pork & chive dumplings. It was all very delicious, and the dumplings had a lovely home-made feel about them, but we did think that the portions were a little on the small side. Nicey but pricey!
Nice atmosphere and friendly customer service.
The steam dumplings were great and juicy. The pan fried ones were not as good.
Randomly came across this place and glad we did. The vege gyozas and scallion pancakes are fire. Would come back.
Nice dumplings but the seating in this restaurant is quite squeezy!
Best dumplings I ever had, and between you&me that's saying something! The pork broth dumplings are a must! If I ever visit Brisbane again I'm definitely coming back!
Love coming here. They make great dumplings
The absolute best dumplings ever.
Cocktails are so yummy as well.
Perfect atmosphere as well.
Will be returning. Thanks 💓
