We had a big group with us (10 people) and the service is amazing. The place was loud than your average restaurant, but we had a lot of fun dining at The Drunk Dumpling. The food was so flavorful and you can taste the passion they've put into making the food. 10/10 would come back here again.
Sooo good. The dumplings were really good, freshly made. The cocktails were also really good and everything was really well priced. The vibe and ambience was great other than it was pretty loud because there was a lot of noise bouncing. Wait staff were so amazing and looked after us so well, they were really overbooked and run off their feet but their service was absolutely great and they went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after. Wait times were a bit long but they were totally overbooked and it was totally worth the wait.
✔️ Mixed dumpling platter - awesome
✔️ Mapo tofu - best ever eaten. Had this nice (pickle?) bits to it
✔️ Singapore chilli prawns - best ever eaten. Lot more vegetables than expected in it
✔️ Okra and beans pork mince - really nice sauce
~ Stir-fried seasonal vegetables - nice, 2 much garlic
~ Snow pea & broccoli - same problem as veggie sf. Nice taste, overly soft texture which surprisingly works, just too much garlic overall
- Noodles prawn fish roe - OK, 2 hard texture?
❌ Garlic pork ribs - too much meat per piece, not enough flavour (when you discount the fried onion)
❌ Fish in shallot and ginger - extremely fatty fish, hardly any fish flesh on it
❌ Eggplant hotpot - 2 sweet. Big logs of nothing
❌ Kung pao chicken - not nice
❌ Chicken Maryland - no thanks
Most creative dumplings I have seen.
Very happy to see this place open in Newtown, the chef is Michelin Star and the dumplings are amazing. Try the Foie Gras Spring rolls.
The locals will fill this place fast, so get in while you can.
The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly. The portions were a good size and we were able to try a few different types before we were full.

We started with a mixed tasting plate. Consists of mozarella spring roll they were perfectly thin with a crunch. Such a great idea! A bunny shaped prawn dumpling, not the same as the ones you get in yumcha,these had solid prawns. A vegetarian dumpling,a scallop dumpling and a hedgehog shaped vegetarian bun-it was soooo crunchy and tasty!
The entree continues with 4 x full sized mozarella prawn sticks , probably one of the best creations ive had in a long time. Its so addictive and mixes well with soy sauce vinegar or chilli sauce.
Deep fried eggplant with honey looks and soy sauce was a hit. Crunchy outer and soft inner. I wasnt able to taste the lime, but there was a lot of flavour. Best with rice in my opinion. A beautiful dish, can do with a bit more lime.
Sinagpore chilli prawns was full of king prawns, muscles,okra and mushroom. Lots of flavour and lots of ginger and garlic,quite spicy too. Very generous in terms of serving.
Lamb cutlets with cumin,deliciously tender with lots of flavour. A good balance of fatty and lean bits.
The set menu is only $38pp. Such a bargain. I think this is the perfect place for a special occasion. The interior of the drunk dumpling is absolutely beautiful. Fine dinning for a fraction of the price.
We will definitely be back to spend our money, i really hope that the quality and level of great service will continue. The drunk dumpling is a new restaurant but already proven to be popular. The most difficult thing is maintaining quality.
