About Lunar Dumpling Bar

Freshly folded dumplings land piping hot on Mornington’s Main Street strip, dishing up inventive parcels and fiery bowls. Locals treat the buzzy room as their default counter run—tucking into eggplant potstickers, wagyu beef dumplings, and silky chilli wontons before the table fills with flat rice noodles and warm sake. Tea arrives thoughtfully arranged, steeping loose leaves alongside a dedicated hot water Thermos to keep every pour steaming.

  • Inventive Dumpling Fillings: Crisp potstickers and dumplings feature distinct fillings like barramundi, eggplant with sweet pepper, and wagyu beef with zucchini.
  • Dedicated Thermos Tea Service: Loose-leaf tea is served in dedicated small steeping pots alongside individual Thermos flasks for continuous hot water refills.
  • Dietary-Inclusive Lineup: The kitchen caters across the board with clearly labelled vegan, vegetarian, and low-gluten plates.

  • Inclusive Dietary & Coeliac-Friendly Options

    With clearly labelled vegan dishes and coeliac-safe low-gluten items, parties with varied dietary needs dine safely without flavour compromise.

    We had the prawn dumplings, crab rolls, fried rice and chicken cashew stir fry all low gluten and with 1 person coeliac there were no issues.

  • Dedicated Thermos Flask Tea Service

    Hot green and specialty teas arrive with loose leaves in a dedicated pot paired with a personal thermal flask to keep water piping hot throughout the meal.

    With the tea leaves in a very small pot, and hot water in a separate Thermos flask. This ensured the tea was always hot.
