Very decent dumplings for a good place! Great to go with a large group as they have a huge upstairs area! Also BYO which is awesome! Love the handmade noodles!
Some of the best dumplings in Sydney! The handmade noodles and the cucumber salad are also super delicious! Highly recommend.
Great service and BYO.
Had dinner at the dumpling king recently. Servings are generous and on the cheaper side. The food is lovely but a bit greasy. The restaurant is BYO.

Delicious and Fresh
I visited this restaurant with my wife for a dinner date in Newtown. We both enjoy Asian Cuisine and though we had dumplings at other restaurants, we've never tried this restaurant in Newtown.
The restaurant gets quite busy as it has a good atmosphere. It is quite small though, so don't expect to have a lot of space around your chair.... This restaurant is good for casual dining only and not a romantic date.
Once the food comes out, you forget about the small faulty issues. The dumplings here are very delicious and fresh. On the night, I just wish I had ordered more.
The service is quite prompt and quick. The staff are very helpful also.
Prices are what you expect to be for a restaurant in Newtown.
I strongly recommend this restaurant, especially if you like your dumplings and Dim Sim's.
There is a BYO availability, however I believe you need to pay a small surcharge
Lovely place to go for some cheap and cheerful Chinese food! The food was hearty and very satisfying, and the restaurant was cosy with quick service.
I love the sides from this place, they are so tasty!! All I really needed was a plate of dumplings and some of those potato and seaweed sides and I was set.
But of course I tried some of the other dishes and I found the squid quite delightful also. Everything was worth trying so you won't be let down with any of the choices.
Dumpling King is regularly busy. Its a no-fuss dumpling house with basic, efficient service. The spicy eggplant here is amazing. The Pork Chive dumplings ($12.90) are reasonable. I loved the Peking Duck pancakes ($27.90) although I found the portion to be small. I was blown away by the Eggplant with Chilli Hotpot ($15.90). It held heat, was tender, gooey and so delicious, this is what I'm coming back for.
Me & the King shared a plate of dumplings, I needed mine fried coz I likes my arteries clogged. The pork and chives were enjoyable and the price during lunch hours is very cheap, friendly staff and decent atmosphere, I shall be dining with the King again soon xx
Extensive menu. Tasty food. Keep in mind the dumplings come in serves of 8-10 so don't over-order. Vegos: I recommend the salt n pepper eggplant. YUM. The venue can get very busy and staff are often rushed. But the affordable prices make up for this.
Came here for lunch as I was in the area and heard about this place. Let's say my first impression of this place is the type of restaurant you'd find in Chinatown in the cbd, the decor is quite shabby and way to many small tables cramped near each other. Probably being lunchtime during the week the place was quite empty with only 3 other customers. As the day was boiling I decided to go for the lunch special of peppered beef and rice as i thought I'd save my next trip to try the dumplings or noodles. The food came out in about 15 mins and first thing i found was the rice was still a bit hard and not cooked properly and probably too much onions but the beef was quite tender and moist so I can't fault that. Like I said I would come back to try the dumplings and shredded pork pancake.

Dumpling King has a fairly extensive menu with all sorts of other Asian dishes offered such as soups, stir fries, rice, noodles, meat and poultry of all varieties, but of course the only fitting items to order from this place tonight were dumplings. We got the steamed version of each available except the Beef & Celery, plus the pork bun that was somehow lumped into the dumpling menu.
Love dumplings!!! Consistency with the taste and we love it. It can be busy at times but You have to be proactive and place your order immediately so you wouldn't sit there forever. Service is nice and happy to serve you. You can go with big groups or by yourself. Fresh and yummy!!!
I agree with a lot of the reviews here – don’t expect 5* service (although they are friendly and you can see they are doing their best), but the food is good!
I’ve been here many many times and the food is excellent.
Order your entrees first, otherwise everything will just come out at random times. An example being our fried rice came out first – ten minutes before anything else!
Be specific in your order. For example, I ordered a can of coke and ice, and I was given a can of coke…and a bowl of ice. I suppose I technically got what I asked for.
It’s not the place you would go on a first date. But with a group of mates, or just general date night – it has excellent food that’s reasonably priced.
I give this place four stars, because I've been quite a few times, and I know what I'm in for when I arrive.
The crispy shredded beef is a winner!
Considering it's their speciality, I'd highly recommend just sticking to ordering dumplings. The other side dishes we had were not as flash. The prawn dumplings were full with delicious fresh seafood and the dough was steamed perfectly .
This was a lovely surprise for us - a decent yum cha restaurant in Newtown. Their dim sim was large! Steamed mini pork buns and shallot pancake were delicious. Reasonably decent place to go if you're not keen to head into Chinatown.
The food was amazingly fresh and so delicious and well priced. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was chill.
