We ate lunch there on the way home from a weekend in the city.
It was my 2nd time but l just a small snack last time which is why l returned, l wanted to try more.
My husband and l had only a light tea at the football Saturday night and no breakfast that morning so we were hungry.
The lovely polite staff were so helpful we ordered the Siung Chui bow or lettuce cups, the boiled signature dumplings the salt and pepper calamari and the sassy spring rolls OMG all were so delicious we went and ordered more this time the duck spring rolls and another lettuce cups yum yum my husband of course didn't stop there he went on to the dumpling dessert which he has never had before, l think he could have licked the bowl it was so delicious.
A couple of wines and a coffee later we said our goodbyes fully satisfied with our choices (with the staff help) and the flavours.
Bowl Bowl is a hidden gem the food, service, chef and staff were amazing!
Do yourself a favour.
Thanks
The food at Bowl Bowl is fantastic. It’s delicious beautifully presented and the menu not too big that you can’t make a decision. We arrived last night and after a mix up with our online booking the staff were very accommodating. They are courteous efficient and friendly. We have been here many times and always recommend it too our friends if they are going to be in town.
Bowl Bowl is a little dumpling restaurant in Collingwood with lots of character. The mismatched colourful plating and wooden tables make this space unique. They have lots of Asian fare but specialise in dumplings. They even have vegetarian dumplings and gluten free ones too. Bowl Bowl - chilli chicken
Omgness Bowl bowl Dumpling is such a great place to hang and have a meal at. If you are ever in the area I would highly recommend a visit.
We ordered a not realising how much food we wouold get, we ended with a feast. The dishes may look very simple however the flavours are so well combined. I would highly recommend ordering some drinks with your meals. The cocktails were incredible. I would come back just for drinks! Although the food was just as good.
Amazing place for Sichuan food. We loved the duck pancakes, the dan dan noodles and the cocktails. Large selection of drinks on offer and some yummy veggie options!
I really miss visiting Bowl Bowl every week for lunch with my ex colleagues! Ever since I moved jobs, I haven’t had the chance to revisit 😊 I randomly found Bowl Bowl a few years without knowing the chef had previously trained at Silks. So glad I was able to go back with my girlfriend a few weeks ago! Everything was just as delicious as I remember it to be, but if you go, please do yourself a favour and order the wonton volcano in that warm and inviting soup and load of spring onion. We also tried a few new dishes such as the crispy egg plant chips and also double cooked pork which were both amazing and great for sharing. We then finished the night with some sesame and green tea mochi!
Honestly could not recommend Bowl Bowl enough if you’re in the Collingwood area and looking for a place for authentic Chinese food with family and friends!
Bowl Bowl is vibrant and cheerful restaurant located in Collingwood. Their menu serves up a range of innovative Sichuan cuisine that's perfect for sharing. The dumplings here are especially worth trying out!
Signature dumplings are the best in Melbourne without a doubt!
Love the signature dumplings. A really good atmosphere. Service was really quick. Our vegetarian friends didn't love there's as much however I enjoyed everything!
We came here after a very disappointing meal and was so impressed by their signature dan dan noodle! The soup was so flavoursome , a combo of spicy sour and salty and sweet - to die for! The dumplings were delicious too but not crispy enough
Have been there for many times. Best Dumpling in town! Lovely stuff, relaxing environment, and beautiful meals. So proud to be a Chinese and Sichuan-ness!
I’ve been here few weeks ago when raining and i saw this shop on the just street. It was so cold and need to some warm soup. Actually I didn’t expect this shop that nice or good taste but, This shop ramen was too good ever. Will be there with my partner coz really nice soup. ! Thanks bowl bowl staffs !
Bowl Bowl is our go-to in Collingwood. Not only are their traditional recipes consistently excellent (our faves are Shanghai noodles, chicken fried rice), we are always impressed by their "fusion" offerings. Shoutout in particular to the "Chitalian" dumpling and the squid ink honey fried chicken. I don't know came up with this stuff but I'm sure glad they did. Service is lovely and the space is also super comfy, try to nab a seat in the beer garden out the back if able.
WOW. Just WOW. Vegan flavour BOMB!
I can't even explain how insanely delicious this food was.
The chili oil is magnificent also!
Get the dumplings and the fried rice. Very unique kind of fried rice- so fresh, packed with flavour and different kinds if vegetables. Thanks heaps!
Love the restaurant ambiance and food here! Lush plant of decor and stunned courtyard with refreshing space(next time Imma bring groups to here). The brisket beef noodles I’ve ordered is amazing, specifically spices can smell it from the soup and the briskets(spot light in my heart) is softer, tender and wasn’t need to chewy too much(it’s mean the briskets are positive like melted on your tongue) I believe they’ve been spending well time for make its delicious! Definitely will back again! Btw, try theirs handmade chili oil if you like have a hit. No disappoint!
Delicious food and drinks, lovely service and great atmosphere.
Pricing is alright, could be better but the food is amazing.
The staff here are so lovely too, they make you feel like a part of the family!
A very cute & warm place.
Preference would be backyard seating, the ambiance is really nice and cute.
Food and service were excellent.
Tried the Lamb ribs, Mongolian beef shared platter, beef brisket noodle soup, chitalian & chicky prawns.
The food was sensational!
The chef was so nice and agreed to cook me the old fashioned Cumin Beef which is now no longer on the menu just for me today and it was so good ! Missed it for a long time.
The Dry Dan Dan noodle plus some DIY sauces from the table was amazing as well !
The food is fantastic my partner and I ordered the dumplings. The ambiance is quirky, very Smith Street, love the Women's Weekly cookbooks on the shelves. The menu isn't huge but whatever we boarded from here is always delicious.
