Small but mighty, dumplings are the superior food group. Read on for the Best Dumplings in Sydney.

Din Tai Fung

Sydneysiders are spoilt when it comes to expertly made and deliciously authentic dumplings. From Nepalese momos to Shanghai's iconic Xiao Long Bao, soup dumplings, variety is core to this edit. We've also been sure to include dumplings with all kinds of price points, from fine dining to frugal feasts

Whether you like your dumpling steamed, fried, boiled, sticky, crunchy or soupy, these are the best dumplings in Sydney.

Spice Temple

Spice Temple

Sydney institution Spice Temple delivers beautiful, authentic Chinese food within their equally stunning space. The silk curtains, rich red carpets and black furnishings set the scene for a dim sum feast. There are seven varieties of dumpling, bun and wonton on the menu, and our suggestion would be to order one of everything!

10 Bligh Street, Sydney

Luna Lu

Luna Lu

Gear up for some of the most incredible dumplings you've ever tasted AND the view to match. These beauties are made fresh on-site daily so you've got to get in quick if you have your eye on Luna Lu's handmade treasures. They are so delicate and light that they practically melt in your mouth. As for the fillings expect only the best of the best from this fine dining destination. Think slow-cooked duck, Hokkaido scallops, king prawns and king oyster mushrooms.

Shanghai Dumpling Bar

Shanghai Dumpling Bar

Spice Alley's Shanghai Dumpling Bar delivers an authentic Asian street food experience. Specialising in handmade, rainbow-coloured dumplings, there is an array of flavours for every palate. Decide whether you want your dumplings potsticker, boiled or in a broth, and get amongst the lively atmosphere down Kensington Street's Spice Alley.

Spice Alley, 18-20 Kensington Street, Chippendale

Lotus Dumpling Bar

Lotus Dumpling Bar 

If you fancy a dumpling experience with a difference pop right on over to Lotus. They've got three locations - one being the exceptionally convenient Circular Quay - and what we love most is their ability to up the dumpling game with recommended wines, craft beer and cocktails. They offer a swathe of flavours with two finish options - steamed and boiled or baked and fried. Best of all, there are plenty of flavours to choose from, including for all the veggo folk! 

Sitchu Tip: Veggo or non-veggo, order the five-spice tofu and black fungus dumplings - you won't regret it! 

Circular Quay, Summer Hill, Walsh Bay 

Bobo Dumpling Bar

Bobo Dumpling Bar 

For quality dumplings on the go, look no further than Bobo Dumpling Bar. They're everything you want from a top-notch parcel of joy and more. You can expect piping dumplings in a matter of minutes for a quick work lunch or snack on the run. We recommend the King Prawn.

Sitchu Tip: Order as a set to score a cucumber salad and soup to round out your dumpling meal.

New Shanghai

New Shanghai

Originating on the main drag of Ashfield and now with over five stores across Australia, New Shanghai has built a steady following of avid fans due to their generous servings of house made dumplings and their handmade noodles. Their dumplings range from the traditional pork and chive to chicken and celery, fish and everything in between.

Momo Bar

Momo Bar

As the name suggests, Avalon's Momo Bar is the place to get your hands on succulent Nepalese dumplings. They’re filled with chicken, pork, lamb, organic lentils and mixed vegetables, and although they’re not the only Nepalese fare on the menu, the momos are so tasty you won’t be interested in looking at anything else on offer.

Din Tai Fung

Din Tai Fung

Dubbed the “world’s tastiest dumpling” by chef Ken Hom, Din Tai Fung takes a more traditional and strategic approach to their dumpling preparation and cooking. Every pork dumpling shell is made to measure between 4.8 to 5.2 grams and once filled measures between 20.8 to 21.2 grams, they are then cooked for precisely three minutes before being served.

North Sydney, Marickville, Miranda and Sydney CBD
