Found this place on google. Was expecting food like every other restaurant that serves similar items and was sooo wrong. The food here is completely of another level. It was all fantastic. The only down side is I couldn’t fit any more in my tummy. I whist wanted to keep eating. The dumplings the spring rolls the honey chicken the deserts. All unlike any I’ve ever had. I will never go anywhere else now. Service was impeccable fantastic people. Will return soon. I’ve already told my friends to try it.
Amazing food and lovely staff! We usually take away and the food is always ready to go when we come to collect, I hope one day that it moves into a bigger space and has more dining in room, thanks Dumpling De Chef!
Last minute decision to go out for dinner. The place is a little noisy only because of its size but that doesn't take away from the food. My wife had fried hokkien noodles with prawns which she enjoyed thoroughly. I had the sweet and sour pork with fried rice. Just the right serving for me. We also had the pork fried dumplings and the special fried pork bun. The whole meal was great as was value for money. We will be back. Loved the food.
The food was amazing, service was so quick and friendly and prices were so cheap! Will definitely be our new dumpling place � thanks so much guys!
Amazing! Awesome staff and delish food! We will be back for sure! Ps.. the chilli oil is to die for!!!! ���
I love coming here, food is always spot on i have nothing bad to say. I am a regular customer �
By far the best Asian food in Cranbourne! we have it 1-2 times a week and there isn't a dish that l haven't liked so far. Good prices as well
Amazing dumplings and service - I always recommend to friends and family ��
Went for dinner tonight first time customer definitely not the last time, everything we had was really yum and reasonable prices.
We'll go back for sure, great place to eat
My hubby and I went for our date night..the food was delicious and the staff were so helpful...definitely be going back again....
The best Dumplings ever.. We just found this dumpling place last week really loved the food and service.. Thank you
Food were tasty, prices were reasonable, fast service.
Will be back
Great Singapore noodles and dumplings. With can of Coke, less than $20.
Great food at great prices.
Yum Yum Yum we had vegetarian fried rice which was delicious and vegetarian pan fried dumpling which were great and the spring onion pancake was something different and also very nice The staff were lovely too Thank You we will be back
WOW the best dumplings this side of town. We also had the crispy duck and it was delicious. Definitely going back!!
Best dumplings I’ve ever had and I’ve had dumplings in multiple countries! Although as of late their Chinese broccoli and oyster sauce hasn’t impressed me in taste like it used to.
I will always eat here for dumplings!
Can you ever say no to super hot and spicy Dumplings!? Not me atleast. I can finish their whole Garlic Chilli Oil. On a suggestion, in a different container mix Garlic chilli Oil with Vinegar sauce on the ratio of 3:1 trust me thats heaven.. only if you are a spice lover. Staff is just so happy. I cannot stop praising about their juicy Dumplings and Deep Fried Squid Tentacles(suggested by chef) and yasss.. I loved it!! I always prefer to sit outside because of my addiction to spicy food... because that cool breeze work as balance for me to the Hot Food. P.S:: I get to make my food spicy here, else they have mild flavors too.
Dumpling De Chef is probably my go to place for affordable dumplings and Chinese cuisine. Located on the main road it can sometimes be hard to find a parking. The restaurant is small with limited seating and it always seems to be busy. Meals come out very quickly and the staff are delightful.
Great service, great dumplings (sweet and sour pork was also amazing) and overall great local dumpling place! Will definitely be returning here.
Came to this area for work purposes and saw this dumpling place.
The ambience is small but suit my style. The price is affordable as well. So glad that I can still manage to find dumplings in the area.
Definitely coming back if I am in the area again.
Our go to for take away dumplings. We've never eaten in as the restaurant is tiny. But don't let that fool you, their dumplings are absolutely delicious and freshly made.
Couldn't recommend this place enough!
We always call and have take away. What a gem! Excellent juicy panfried pork dumplings and wonton mee! Wonderful n friendly service too! Great take away as always!.
Amazing food! Such good value! And sooo tasty This is our go to local and we love it! We are repeat diners and will be coming back many times again! Thank you
Always friendly, speedy service and yummy food. Great value for money too! Would recommend the pan fried pork dumplings and the salt and pepper calamari.
This place is probably the best for dumplings around this area! Have also tried the noodles and main dishes and all were fantastic for a reasonable price. Friendly service too!
It's nice to find new dumpling places. I ordered the 12 pack of beef dumplings (fried) and was not disappointed. Juicy little morsels of yummy-ness. My partner got the 12 pack of mixed steamed dumplings and enjoyed them all. We also tried the sweet and spicy beef dish. I wasn't overly impressed with the meat dish, have had better, but when the dumplings are good I don't really need anything else. I will stick to just dumplings next time - and yes, there will be a next time (very soon.)
4 people $61: pork dumplings, pork buns, pork puffs (excellent) honey prawns (9 big ones), fried rice & soft drinks. All big serves. All good, except dumplings were just OK. Only about 8 tables, so book on this app. Very convenient.
Amazing dumplings!!! Great food! Have only ever had it takeaway. Orders have always been correct. I wish they had menulog that would be amazing but worth the call and pick up!
Damn was this place was busy! That says a lot. Staff were delightful and served us pretty got dumplings for $10 we got 10 dumplings. I will be back to try more
On our way to Phillip Island and needed some dinner and came across this place online. It had great reviews so thought we give it a go, we weren't disappointed. Absolutely delicious! We had pork sui mai, BBQ pork rolls, satay skewers, spring onion pancakes, pan fried chicken and prawn dumplings and jasmine tea. Everything was fresh and super tasty. Only letdown was the satay skewers which were tough. We'll definitely be back!
Walked in randomly on a Saturday morning. Had the pan fried pork dumplings, steamed prawn and steamed prawn and corn dumplings. All were great. If you want something quick and delicious, definitely worth a visit.
I've been going to Dumpling de chef since it opened. Food and service has never failed me here. You must order the pork dumplings, and get your hands on some BBQ pork puffs if they have any available (the sell like hot cakes!)
Have had take away on a couple of occasions and have always enjoyed the dumplings. It's a funny little place could do with more space as there isn't any where to wait especially if it's busy. Very casual staff but they definitely know what there doing. I'll be back :)
Only had take away......Tasty food and great service.
Dumplings awesome and tick the box for flavour.
Would have to be the best dumplings in Cranbourne.
Very reasonably priced. Will be coming back again!
Best dumplings in the south east! We have been here a few times and the food has not disappointed so far. The dumplings are all home made and the flavour that they have got in them is amazing! We also order lemon chicken and fried rice and they were also amazing. I would highly recommend that people order on the phone prior to picking their order up. Worth a try, it will not disappoint.
Love the dumplings and Chinese sausage! Brilliant to have a place like this so close to home. Staff are always so friendly also and helpful.
Came in around 6 30 after newly moving to the area because I'd heard great things about the dumplings! Ordered vegetarian steamed dumplings and wow, they did not disappoint! So full of flavour and such great value for money, kept me full for the rest of the night. Staff were so lovely too! But they could really do with an expansion or a renovation because there is barely any room inside at all. It's probably my fault for not ordering on the phone, but after ordering and paying, I was asked to wait outside for my dumplings and it was quite chilly out :( So I would highly recommend, but if you're going to order to take-away, call beforehand!
The Freshest and tastiest Pork Dumplings I've tasted in and around the cranbourne area! Both steamed and pan fried, Price was spot on.. finally
Been here quite a few times, and must say it is a tale of two cities here. Firstly the dumplings here are really really good, fresh and with great fillings they sure hit the spot, the pork Sui mai is probably the best I have had anywhere including Hong Kong, they are really that great.The rest of the menu though is pretty ordinary, it has that crappy westernised suburban Chinese food theme going, which is a shame because people even here in Cranbourne would really appreciate a well executed traditional menu.
Amazing food and always our go to when we want dumplings. Flavours are great and staff are always friendly! Can't highly recommend this place!!
Occasionally, the best things in life lie closer to home than you might think.Dumpling affectionados take note.The best this side of BoxHill
We loved it here! Friendly & fast service! Dumplings and food was delicious! Very impressed, we will be back.
Hopefully they will get a liquor licence... only downfall.
Another fantastic meal at the Dumpling De Chef. Foods great, service excellent and friendly. Kids love the chicken omelette. 👍🙏 Hopefully they might be able to get their liquor licence just to top it off. 🍻
Dumplings are fresh and tasty. The other dishes are great too. We've never had a bad meal here and the service is great - unlike other dumpling places! Its our new favourite place to go
Amazing dumplings, fresh and tasty!
The chilli oil was awesome too.
Had the fried pork dumplings, pork siu mai, spring onions pancakes and Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce. No need to go to Glenwaverly anymore...
Oh my goodness. Fried pork dumplings were so good. It's nice not to have to drive half an hour for lovely dumplings anymore, and $9.50 for $15 very reasonable too. The hot and sour soup was also really good, and always love a spring onion pancake!
I went here with family just over a week ago. We tried the chicken/prawn dumplings, special fried rice, lamb skewers and siu mai. As far as Chinese food goes, the food here is even a bit cheaper than almost anywhere you could go in Chinatown and definitely better than most places in Chinatown.
The dumplings were really good and had cheap prices, too (I got 12 dumplings for $13, I haven’t seen prices like that in a long time). The lady at the front desk was incredibly nice to us, and the service was good, especially taking into consideration that there was only one chef available.
The dumplings from this dumpling chef are really delicious! I have been to this shop many times. I love their specialty steamed pork dumplings and pan fried pork dumplings...every time I order frozen dumplings to take home. That’s my favourites shop ! !
I am a Chinese who loves and knows dumplings. I like the dumpling and the seating at DUMPLING de CHEF. If only regional areas have more Chinese restaurants as good as this one, then people in regional area would understand, accept and enjoy Chinese culture much more quickly.
I don't blame locals in regional areas hold some kinda bias towards China and Chinese since I tried Chinese restaurants in the areas of west gippslands.

We ordered a huge order through Uber Eats & when the driver arrived, he canceled the whole order instead of transferring the job to a new driver!
I called the restaurant to see what happened & what we could do to fix it. They informed me that they still have my order & it’s ready to go but there’s no driver. They said they will call Uber Eats first then call me back.
I had another employee call be back & explained that Uber will refund me the first order. While on the phone we made sure to re order correctly & they stayed on the phone until the order came through properly.
When the food arrived we were really happy with the amount we got and that it was all still hot. Both pork & veggie dumplings, vegetarian noodles/rice, sweet & sour pork & lemon chicken was super delicious.
My partner said that the special fried rice really hit the spot!
We even got a special little note saying sorry for the order being stuffed around with a couple drinks which was a nice touch for the uber stuff around, very thoughtful 😊
Thank you to the team for being super amazing & helpful. Will get food from here again!
Small family owned & operated business. Food is very tasty...I had the special fried rice & can say that it is in the top 5 best that I have eaten.
Their dumplings are always awesome.
They care about their customer feedback as well.
Priced very reasonable & good potion size ⭐⭐⭐⭐
