There's nothing quite like nibbling on delicious dumplings when its wet and rainy outside. Originally a Chinese celebration food for special events, we've made every day a celebration day with these Tops Spots for the Best Dumplings in New Zealand. From Dumpling houses to Chinese restaurants, we have your dumpling cravings covered!
Kylie loved Love Dumplings
A local in the know has shared with me a little secret about where to find the best-value dumplings in Auckland and you need to go no further than Love Dumplings in Symonds Street. This amazing little Chinese restaurant serves up 25 dumplings for just $12 and you can even take frozen ones home for cheaper - yep, if you DIY dumplings you'll get 30 dumplings for just $10. It's the kind of spot that makes you realise you can never judge a restaurant by its decor and instead should look to the food and local recommendations to make your decision. Don't miss the pork and leek dumplings... they're divine!
New Flavour Restaurant, Auckland
This place is the best on Dominion Rd - great handmade dumplings & noodles. The tofu & cucumber salad is insane! It’s also BYO which a lot of the other Asian places aren’t.
Glenfield Night Market, Auckland
15 dumplings for $5 - what could be better? Excellent selection of food and great atmosphere.
The Blue Breeze Inn, Auckland
Food was amazing!!!! ... service and atmosphere incredible! ... and such a great location for taking in all the sights and sounds of beautiful, bustling Ponsonby Road sitting outside, loved it :)
Barilla Dumplings, Auckland
Great for a delicious large shared meal with a group of friends, you’ll only ever end up paying roughly $7-10 each and you will end the night in the most satisfying food coma
Dumpling House, Hamilton
Best dumplings in Hamilton.
China Light Restaurant, Napier
Really popular spot in Napier and as most of the locals will tell you the best chinese in town. Started my night off with the wings which are pretty famous I hear and I’m not surprised, was impressed with how fast they serve too. Right opposite the Municipal Theatre so it’s a good place to grab something to eat pre-show.
The Rice Bowl Chinese Restaurant, Taranaki
Rice Bowl is located in the top town complex so is the perfect place to go to for lunch before a movie. Their food is bursting with flavour and the yum cha menu is delicious, who doesn’t love steamed buns and dim sims? They also do roasts that really take you back to being in mums kitchen! They’re open for lunch and dinner, but unfortunately no delivery.
Chan's Restaurant, Masterton
One thing I love about Asian food is how it's presented and they are masters at Chan's! True Chinese food that's fresh and packed with flavor, you can eat there or take it home, Chinese food is made for sharing so it's perfect for when you have unexpected guests come over for dinner!
Fan's Chinese Restaurant, Blenheim
Traditional Chinese food at its finest … While there is a big focus on takeaway food, there is ample seating for those who’d rather linger. Food wise, there’s everything from dumplings and deep fried won tons and a variety of great Chinese dishes.
City Market, Wellington
Absolutely LOVE these markets! We are so lucky to have this in our City, and I always rave about it to friends and family. It's always a tough choice each Sunday between the roti wraps, Vicki's dumplings, Big Bad Wolf, and some of the delicious pastries and sweet treats.
Chow Tory, Wellington
Superb! I can never get enough of Chow Tory! Small plates of delectable morsels to taste and share among friends. The service is fantastic and if the food isn't enough...their amazing cocktails will seal the deal (try their famous Rosebud). Highly recommend you try Chow! #shoutme
The China Kitchen, Christchurch
The China Kitchen is my favourite place for dumplings. I usually go for an assortment of vegetarian and pork dumplings with their delicious dipping sauces. Dumplings aren't the only thing on the menu however, they have well over 100 other dishes to choose from too!
Dumplings $2 Rice, Christchurch
My number one go-to restaurant on Riccarton Road, the name says a lot but it doesn’t state how delicious it actually is!
Shangri-la Restaurant, Dunedin
There are some really good Chinese food restaurants in Dunedin but my pick is Shangri-la Restaurant. Great selection of food here – try the dumplings. They’re the best!
Madam Woo, Queenstown
Superb menu full of delicious streetfood-style dishes including dumplings, sharing plates and hawker rolls. An excellent cocktail list and great decor, as well as friendly staff make this a must when visiting Queenstown.
Try the warm Portuguese tarts. Not at all what we expected to see on the menu given the theme, but the perfect ending to the meal nonetheless.
Ming Garden Chinese Restaurant, Te Anau
Ming Garden do a great buffet, in fact, they specialise in buffets! The fried rice is the best in Southland and their dumplings are ridiculously good. I love the pork dumplings and the dipping sauce, and I bet you will too
