About Dumplings & More

Hopkins Street regulars head straight to Dumplings & More for northern Chinese comfort by the carton—fast, cheap, and rolled fresh by hand. Thin-skinned dumplings arrive stuffed with juicy pork and chives, steamed soft or pan-fried with crisp bottoms, primed for a dunk in tableside chilli oil. Hand-pulled noodles pick up proper wok hei alongside sizzling cumin lamb skewers and cold cucumber. Disregard the bare-bones dining room—portions run huge, prices stay low, and takeaway containers leave packed right to the brim.

  • Handmade Northern Dumplings: Thin skins stuffed with juicy pork, chive, or lamb, served steamed or pan-seared with house chilli oil.
  • Hand-Pulled Fried Noodles: Chewy noodles pulled fresh in-house and tossed over high heat for distinct smoky char.
  • Shared Dongbei Classics: Aromatic cumin lamb skewers, crisp cold cucumber, and regional braises built for table sharing.
  • Heavy Portions, Modest Bills: Substantial, brim-filled plates and takeaway containers priced for routine weeknight drop-ins.

  • Delicate Handmade Dumpling Skins

    Wrappers are rolled delicate and thin, encasing well-balanced, savoury fillings steamed or crisped to order.

    The skins are perfectly thin, and the fillings are incredibly juicy and well-seasoned.

  • Focus on Flavour Over Fitout

    The dining room skips modern design trends in favour of authentic northern Chinese cooking and lightning-fast service.

    Don't let the fitout and decor deter you from going in and giving it a try. Food is authentic and delicious.

Discover the standout northern Chinese specialties locals order on repeat, and plan your visit to enjoy them straight from the kitchen.

  • Lamb Skewers

    The Lamb Skewers were a treat too - you must eat them while they're hot.

    The steamed pork and chive dumplings were delicious, I topped them with soy sauce and chilli oil provided on the table.

Before you head over

Practical advice on ordering and expectations to help you plan your next visit to Hopkins Street.

  • Look Past the Basic Decor

    Don't let the dated decor or basic interior deter you from visiting; the focus is squarely on authentic, home-style northern Chinese cooking rather than upscale ambiance.

  • Prioritize Handmade Noodles & Dumplings

    Focus your order on the scratch-made staples like hand-pulled stir-fried noodles and handmade dumplings, which offer the most consistent quality and texture across the menu.

  • Plan for Substantial Takeaway Portions

    If ordering takeaway, expect large containers packed to the brim with generous portions, making it easy to split a multi-dish feast without over-ordering.
