Spice Temple

Spice Temple

Sydney institution Spice Temple delivers beautiful, authentic Chinese food within their equally stunning space. The silk curtains, rich red carpets and black furnishings set the scene for a dim sum feast. There are seven varieties of dumpling, bun and wonton on the menu, and our suggestion would be to order one of everything!

Gear up for some of the most incredible dumplings you've ever tasted AND the view to match. These beauties are made fresh on-site daily so you've got to get in quick if you have your eye on Luna Lu's handmade treasures. They are so delicate and light that they practically melt in your mouth. As for the fillings expect only the best of the best from this fine dining destination. Think slow-cooked duck, Hokkaido scallops, king prawns and king oyster mushrooms.

Shanghai Dumpling Bar

Spice Alley's Shanghai Dumpling Bar delivers an authentic Asian street food experience. Specialising in handmade, rainbow-coloured dumplings, there is an array of flavours for every palate. Decide whether you want your dumplings potsticker, boiled or in a broth, and get amongst the lively atmosphere down Kensington Street's Spice Alley.

Spice Alley, 18-20 Kensington Street, Chippendale

Lotus Dumpling Bar

Lotus Dumpling Bar 

If you fancy a dumpling experience with a difference pop right on over to Lotus. They've got three locations - one being the exceptionally convenient Circular Quay - and what we love most is their ability to up the dumpling game with recommended wines, craft beer and cocktails. They offer a swathe of flavours with two finish options - steamed and boiled or baked and fried. Best of all, there are plenty of flavours to choose from, including for all the veggo folk! 

Sitchu Tip: Veggo or non-veggo, order the five-spice tofu and black fungus dumplings - you won't regret it! 

Circular Quay, Summer Hill, Walsh Bay 

New Shanghai

New Shanghai

Originating on the main drag of Ashfield and now with over five stores across Australia, New Shanghai has built a steady following of avid fans due to their generous servings of house made dumplings and their handmade noodles. Their dumplings range from the traditional pork and chive to chicken and celery, fish and everything in between.

Ashfield, Chatswood and Sydney CBD

Din Tai Fung

Din Tai Fung

Dubbed the “world’s tastiest dumpling” by chef Ken Hom, Din Tai Fung takes a more traditional and strategic approach to their dumpling preparation and cooking. Every pork dumpling shell is made to measure between 4.8 to 5.2 grams and once filled measures between 20.8 to 21.2 grams, they are then cooked for precisely three minutes before being served.
