Words cannot explain how delicious the food is from this place. My wife and I are in love with it, and can't stop going back to try new delicious dishes from their eclectic menu. For anyone that's a bit tired of simple traditional Chinese food that's been the predominant feature of the Melbourne landscape for so long, Dumpling Wise is such a breath of fresh air with bold new tastes and variations on the more traditional dishes.
They introduce such lovely Sichuan flavours and spice in some new and exciting dishes that are just as good as some of the top Sichuan restaurants we've visited in the CBD's Chinatown. Some notable favourites that we've had which are definite "go to" dishes are:
201 - Spring Pancakes
402 - Sichuan Noodles with Minced Port & Peanut Sauce - Lovely comfort food / winter dish - the broth is to die for.
410 - Wok Fried Kway Teow w Seafood - Awesome flavours and one of the best Kway Teow's we've ever tasted.
503 - Sichuan Fried Rice w Pork Belly Slices - Absolute heaven when you mix in some "Lao Gan Ma Chilli Oil" - They have as a condiment on the tables - ask them to provide in a small plastic take away container.
504 - Fried Crispy Skinned Duck Leg w Rice - Lovely tender duck, slow cooked and falling of the bone with a yummy rich Hoisin flavoured sauce.
601 - Stirred fry Beef on Sizzling Plate - Beautiful creamy light sauce with tender slices of beef cooked to perfection. A real satisfying dish for those whom like less spices but bold flavours.
In summary, it's terrific to see such an invigorating new restaurant at Watergardens that provides such consistent quality of food, and quite good service as well. It's a pity they don't have a liquor licence which may deter a small number of patrons, however the food is of such excellent taste, quality and value that I doubt this will be a major deterrence in Dumpling Wise cementing itself as one of the finest Asian restaurants to establish itself in the outer North West of Melbourne for many years to come.
We get the pork and chive pan fried dumpling and vegetarian fried rice. Always good . Great food
