About Tao Dumplings Camberwell

Tucked off Burke Road on Evans Place, this bustling Camberwell joint rolls, stuffs, and folds every dumpling right before your eyes. Regulars pack the tables for plates of pan-fried pork and chive dumplings—crisped golden on the bottom with hot broth sealed inside. The kitchen turns out steamed chicken and prawn wontons slicked with Szechuan chilli oil alongside generous bowls of hand-pulled noodles and braised pork belly. It is fast, casual, and reliably unpretentious—perfect for sharing over icy bottles of Tsingtao.

  • Handmade in View: Diners can watch staff hand-fold dumplings on site before they hit the steamers and woks.
  • Diverse Dumpling Styles: Options span pan-fried, boiled, and steamed styles across pork, beef, lamb, chicken, prawn, and vegetarian fillings.

  • Convenient Camberwell Location

    Positioned near Camberwell transit and car parking hubs, it provides a dependable go-to stop for quick, crispy pan-fried plates.

    A great dumpling restaurant not right off the main road but close enough to public transport and Burke Road.
