About

You'll find CBD Dumpling House buzzing with activity in this glass-fronted spot that feels more upmarket than the prices reflect. The industrial styling creates a relaxed atmosphere where you can watch steam rise from bamboo baskets while the open kitchen churns out handmade dumplings. Their pan-fried pork dumplings have earned a loyal following among office workers and students who appreciate the generous portions and reasonable prices. The menu spans beyond dumplings to include solid Chinese classics, but the star attraction remains those perfectly pleated parcels served piping hot. Service moves quickly during the lunch rush, making it perfect for a satisfying meal that won't break the bank or your schedule.
