About Dumpling King

A Station Street staple for years, this Box Hill fixture delivers generous Chinese comfort food built for communal tables and BYO wine. The move—round up a crew and spin the Lazy Susan family-style. Regulars steer newcomers toward the pan-fried chicken dumplings for their crisp bottoms, but the plant-based roster holds equal weight. The kitchen folds beancurd sheets into vegetarian roast duck that mimics the crackle of crisp skin, served alongside garlic green beans and boiled beef dumplings tinted with carrot juice.

  • Communal banquet setups: Large round tables equipped with Lazy Susans and BYO wine allowances make ordering across the shared menu effortless for gatherings.
  • Dedicated vegetarian menu: Extensive plant-based options include faux roast duck layered from crispy beancurd sheets alongside vegan dumplings.
  • Signature dumpling lineup: Crispy-bottomed Beijing pan-fried chicken dumplings and carrot-juice-tinted boiled beef dumplings remain crowd anchors.
  • Fast, attentive floor staff: Dishes hit tables swiftly even during peak rushes, backed by hands-on service that accommodates dietary adjustments.
