Dumpling King Chinese Restaurant

Yikes… Was really hoping to enjoy this place but now all I can recommend is stay away if you’re looking for something authentic, or even tasty for that matter. I had the hot & sour soup with dumplings. The dumplings were passable but chewy and bland but the soup—it’s frankly misleading to call this hot & sour soup. Have a quick google of what the soup should look like, then look at the photos here. This soup was basically just water + black vinegar. So disappointing 🥺

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!

Foods and price are very reasonable. However I have to agree with other reviewers that service requires some good improvement. It could be the language capability and/or the non friendliness attitude of the waitress that made the whole experience not as pleasant. Shop owner might want to provide some customer service training to its waiting staff members.

Seriously guys! Utterly disappointing! There wasn’t anything other Chinese restaurants close by, so we just settled for this one. Some quite places you just give them benefit of the doubt and hope it’s a good meal that you don’t react to the food that leaves you with cramps all night and makes you do a runner to the toilet.
