Im surprised at other reviews re these dumplings because i thought they were great. I ordered the vege steamed dumplings. $12 for 15. Filling to dough ratio was perfect. Not doughy like other places ive tried in the city.
Very friendly service and was able to change the menu for my preferences :) I got the vegetarian noodle soup, it was so yummy and Harrison got the xiao long bao which wS also good!!
Ordered the Chicken and Vege Steamed dumplings - they were really tasty! Would highly recommend. Good amount of filling, not too doughy. Traditional taste, not like the packet dumplings you buy. Service was also really friendly and fast. Price is also really good, $12.80 for 15 steamed dumplings.
Very underrated restaurant. They serve decent, reasonable price and huge plentiful meals. Try fried chicken and fried rice if u feel some other instead of dumplings
Fine for dumplings. The place is a bit rough around the edges but the food was good. Service was friendly but slow. Recommend the Shanghai dumplings (#17).
I have been coming here for 2 years now.
Please get the Shanghai small stuffed pork buns 上海小笼包. I’m from shanghai and I’ve got to say these are the most authentic in New Zealand. Dip it in some vinegar and it’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever had. Their other dishes are good but the small pork buns are heaven. It’s very cheap too and they steam them to order so you know it’s fresh.
Tucked away off high street with two other restaurants. Good serving sizes for what you pay. Food can take a while to come. Self serving condiments, utensils and green tea
Best dumplings in Auckland CBD! Price is just right and one plate of $12 can easily fill two people.
Only downside is the LOOOONGGG wait for them to get served despite only having 1~2 customers in store - understandable considering the dumplings are freshly made.
Delicious chinese food located within Auckland CBD. Loved the fried beef in black pepper and the veggie dumplings. The self service aspect is great whereby you can pour your own Chinese tea and take as much as you want, inclusive if the chilly sauce and soy sauce. It's a cosy little place in high street and my friends and I really enjoyed our meal. 🌟🌟🌟

Ordered take away for a Friday afternoon work lunch, as I was craving dumpling.
The order was made promptly and everything was steaming hot when it was delivered.
If you like your Chinese spicy, this place packs a punch! We ordered the spicy beef noodle soup and the spicy shredded pork.
It doesn't come with a spice level option, so if you can't handle the jandal then I would recommend asking specifically for mild.
The shredded pork wasn't that crash hot. The pork was a little soggy and the taste was pretty bland. The chilli chicken was delicious! With the peanuts adding great texture to the dish and the sweet chilli flavour giving it that added kick.
The dumplings were sooo good! The best thing on the menu by far! (Guess that makes sense considering the restaurant is called no.1 dumpling😅). I would go back to this place again just for the dumplings alone, they were that good.
I ordered the steamed pork and chives and they were deeelish!
Highly recommend you check this place for your dumpling fix. Not sure I'd recommend venturing out to try the other dishes, but if you have any favourites I'd love to try them so let me know!
Yummy food but poor service. Only one guy behind the counter and constantly disappear. Kinda like food court, price is really cheap though. Would come back for a quick bite or takeaways.
We came here for dumplings which we were assured were vegan. The place is self-serve when it comes to cutlery/condiments/water, and is very basic. However the man who served us, who I am assuming is the owner, was very friendly. The dumplings were delicious and the first pan-fried ones we have had that were actually crispy.
I went to this place with my colleagues today for lunch .. Nice place .. dumpling were yummy and nicely cooked. Just one complain waiting time was too long..
Been there a couple of times with friends and family, have to say the place is not really easy to find but the food they offer are really nice especially the prawn dish!
At a first glance, it may not be the most welcoming place, but their dumplings sure are welcoming. I had their chicken and vege dumplings and their dumplings are tightly packed. Loved the random love-heart shaped plates; it made me smile whilst eating! You can arrange your own soy sauce to dip with- add a bit of the chilli vinegar for a little spicy kick :)
There were lovely twins that worked there when I last went. They were sweet and helpful when I was reading through the menu.
Fantastic dumplings full of filling and delicious, awesome combination fried rice also, we get these two dishes every week, the food is very well priced, and the people here are very friendly and sweet.
Thank you to all at no.1 Dumpling!
Unpretentious little Chinese eating place in High Street. I'm vegan, and have only eaten the dumplings, so naturally my experience is limited, but the dumplings are cheap and tasty and I don't have any complaints. This shop position is prey to unsuccessful food businesses, so I just hope they manage to stick it out!
Went here with a deal voucher and was so impressed by how yum the food was for what we paid wow! It's just a little casual food-court style place but convenient location, friendly and helpful service and AMAZING yum dumplings. We had an absolute feast for cheap. Loved the pork buns too! Great place to go for a lunch if you work nearby. I will be back!
Grabbed a deal voucher and took the husband and kids for a Saturday lunch. The food was lovely the service fast efficient and very polite and the toilets very clean. Lovely little cafe would go back if heading into town again with or without a voucher, still very cheap. Recommend to all.
The girls from PreLOVED boutique and I have checked this place out a few times over the last month. We've ordered everything from Soy Milk, vege pan fried dumplings (mine...and they were so yummy!), chicken/pork dumplings and a very large and delicious noodle soup. This place was CHEAP. The food is tasty and quick to get on the table :) Great portions and definitely something to try out if you're ever walking down Lorne street :) There's also a vegetarian and vegan restaurant next door that I am so keen to try out!!

We actually went there before they had officially opened in the morning (whoops!) but they kindly agreed to cook some dumplings up for us anyway which was so nice of them. We ordered the pork and prawn and chive dumplings as well as the chicken and vege filling ones, both kinds boiled because I still had a sore throat so pan-fried wouldn't be a good idea. Both were amazing with delicious fillings and some aromatic broth or clear juices inside each dumpling. They're not as prettily pleated as the ones you make at home, but the dumpling skins are not too thick but not too thin and the fillings are seriously the best fillings I've had in any dumplings in any eatery in New Zealand so far. The chicken and vege was more delicately flavoured but smooth with all the components of the filling chopped up finely. The pork, prawn and chives had a stronger flavour thanks to the generous amounts of pork. Definitely recommend, and at $10 or under for a plate it's a healthy filling meal that's scrumptious to boot.
This is actually right next to Sunflower Vegan Thai in case you are confused about its exact location. Anyhow, wonderful dumplings at a very reasonable price. Steamed Xiao Long Bao (XLB, Shanghai soup dumplings) was on point. Pan fried dumplings tasted just like the ones in China. Highly recommend if you are into places that care more about the food than the decorations. The end.
Large portions. I had the spicy and sour dumpling soup. It was very tasty but had troubles eating it with their chop sticks. Not sure why but they are large and very unmanageable with the slippery dumplings.
Great value and delicious. Lovely mini pork buns.
Best value for money and tastiest dumplings ever. Forget the rest of the menu order yourself 15 dumplings for 12 bucks. You won't be dissapointed.
They serve decent, reasonable price and huge plentiful meals. Try fried chicken and fried rice if u feel some other instead of dumplings
Yummy yummy. Stumbled across this gem by accident. Not a fancy eatery but a good cheap eat!!
Great portions and a nice menu. Would eat here again ☺️
I love this place. Best dumplings in CBD. I recommend this to everyone. Good recommendations. Nice food.
Combination fried rice and fried chicken dumplings - really good and very tasty. Recommended.
