Sydney Dumpling King Burwood

Didn’t expect that food was that good. Everything we ordered was very delicious 🤤. Bring cash! 6% discount!

Ordered three different types of pan fried dumplings (Pork, Beef and Chicken with chives) they were absolutely delicious and jammed pack with flavour. I really loved that they weren’t small dumplings either, they were big and well packed with ingredients.

Their soy sauce comes mixed in with vinegar which was a great addition as well, not to mention the chilli oil that was included was by far some of the best that I’ve tasted. Packs a flavoursome punch of heat.

We’ll definitely be coming back for more than dumplings.

As others have stated, this place looks quite generic from the outside, but the food is hearty and delicious. Nothing fancy, but great for a reliable fuel up! Can't really go wrong with this one :)

Don’t let the unassuming rather plaid looking store front fool you. The food is wholesome and tasty to boot! Portions are also plentiful and you’re sure to exit stuffed!

We recommend Sydney Dumpling King for a quick and hearty meal when in Burwood. The highlight of our visit were the ribbon noodles with chilli garlic oil. They were bursting with flavour and frankly one of the most enjoyable dishes I have had since visiting Sydney. Surprisingly the dumplings were rather average.

Chinese dumplings are plentiful in the promised land that is Burwood, but many I've asked have pointed me in the direction of Sydney Dumpling King as their top pick! The problem with Burwood though is that there are way too many good restaurants beckoning for you to eat at. After several years of having this place on my hitlist, i finally made it here for lunch!
The dumplings here are done well, and are very affordable. 15 dumplings will set you back anywhere between $16-19. Add an extra $3 if you want it fried. The cool part is you can order two different types of fillings in one serving if you like - something I wish I knew before I ordered! They have some rather interesting filling options here like pork with eggplant or fish with sweet corn. It's hard to look past the classic pork with chive and beef with chive on your first visit to a dumpling restaurant though... "One boiled and one fried please!"
We also took on an order of soup dumplings (xiao long bao) and some pan-fried pork buns too. They have a house-made chilli oil on every table that you can add to your dipping sauce. The dumplings themselves were really good. The fillings were flavourful, meaty, and the skin was of a medium thickness, a nice soft bite to them. I definitely think the fried dumplings and the xiao long bao were the best orders of the day. I probably wouldn't order the pan-fried pork buns again though. I felt like the fillings in these didn't have as much of a pork meat taste compared to the dumplings.
I wouldn't say it's my absolute favourite dumpling spot in Sydney, but the dumplings are certainly up there with the better ones! Would happily come back to try other fillings.

4.4 - Came by and tried the Hot & Sour soup again but they have changed the recipe to be more peppery and I didn't enjoy it. However, loved the Fish & Coriander Dumplings - the sweetness of the fish was delish!

*****
4.6 - I love coming here because there is supposedly no Msg or preservatives in their food. The Hot & Sour soup is perfect and features authentic ingredients, and I love the Prawn, Egg, Black Fungus Dumplings. I've also tried the Pork & Chinese Cabbage Dumplings and the Jellyfish Salad. I once tried some of the dumplings in a fish soup but found it disappointingly peppery. Service is inconsistent - sometimes friendly, other times not. Popular down to earth restaurant.

We tried this legendary place at Burwood recently for a quick lunch. We ordered their staple e.g. pork meatball soup, pork-mince rice and their famous pork & coriander fried dumplings. We love all dishes especially the dumplings. Their prices are very good value for your money but you're recommended to pay cash since they apply a harsh flat surcharge of $1 for CC payments. This kind of flat charge may even be illegal in Australia.

On a second visit, we ordered their famous shallot pancake, hot & sour soup and pork, prawn & mushroom dumplings. Their dumplings and pancake were very good, while the soup was just OK.

On our first visit after Sydney lock-down lifted, we tried their shallot-oil noodles. It was nice dish, and we love the noodles especially.

Don't expect customer service here but at least you get what you ordered efficiently. Ambience is reasonable for casual Taiwanese restaurant in suburban Sydney.
