So amazing food! So yum! And the staff was ssoooooo friendly! Highly recommend! :)
Tasty food! Super filling. Vegetarian friendly. Takeaway only. Office crowd and The lines are long. I can see why there is a second branch on Lorne st too. Only complaint - people get hangry and cut lines all the time -how to police this?
I had read so many raving reviews about this place, so decided to give it a try. Of course I got to try them only because of a motorcycle meet up that happened there. This really is like a hole in the wall kind of place that churns our fantastic dumplings. I had the 3 spice dumplings with their Sumthin Dumpling sauce, even the regular portion of 6 pieces was very very filling. A combination of steam and pan fried is how they make them and serve them with a sauce of your choice.
About 5 dumplings later I was struggling to put the last one away, but due to the beauty of the flavours it wasn’t too hard to finish.
Will be back soon to try out the Great White next!!!
Could not say more other than amazing! Their dumplings are just so simple but so good. Chili sauce is so delicious too
Convenient location, very fresh made.
The best choice is beef and cheese, add their special chilli source, perfect!
Someone told me this was the best dumpling they've ever tried, I was like ok sure. I tried it later on and omg they are fabulous! I got the shrimp ones i don't know what makes them so good but the fillings and the outer as well as the sauce just make kt
Very tasty dumplings. Their chilly sauce is the best. You see chilly, oil, peanuts in the sauce which is very delicious.
Bit expensive I felt but worth it.
No place to sit but the street is people friendly.
Tummy fill - 8/10
Value for money - 9/10
Service - 10/10.
Usually I’m not a big fan of fusion food, I’d prefer more authentic flavours. However, I decided to give this place a try as my colleague kept raving about it. It was actually not bad, although I don’t think they should be called dumplings, they are more like ‘buns’. I ordered beef and cheese buns, and the ‘monk’ veggies buns. The filling is yum and I like seeing chefs making buns right in front of you. I felt like the bun skin is a big too thick, if only they could make more efforts into rolling thinner bun skins.

Great fast food, love seeing the dumplings being made. Delicious filling and crispy skin, great sauces. Perhaps increased selection would be good but the classics are great and friendly staff

Love their dumplings! Had the OG which is pork and extra chilli oil and siracha mayo. The pieces are pretty large so 6 pieces were more than enough for me. Service was super fast too!
Very nice dumplin. The regular size , 6 pieces, $14. There are seats inside the store.
There is always a huge line in front of sumthin dumplin so i went there..
and it was fantastic!
You can select the flavor and sauce.
I would recommend adding some chili!
It’s not that spicy and is a great combination!!
Pork n cabbage dumplings were amazing, almost missed out in getting them after the lunch time rush. Thankfully we got the last eight. Highly recommend these ones over all the others flavors (tried beef n cheese at another sumthin dumplin , wasn't a fan)
Hard working staff. Friendly, fast, helpful and gave great recommendations. They have pay wave unlike the shops in the Korean town. Very clean place. That’s always assuring. The food looked appealing and tasted great. I love watching the people prepare the dumplings through the glass window. There is a lot of that around here. So refreshing to be able to watch your meals getting made. You would definitely come back.
Sumthin Dumplin never fails to satisfy my dumpling cravings 🤤. I’ve just about had all of their dumplings varieties and the OG and Great White are some great ones to start off with, pair it with the sumthin sesame/sriracha sauce and it’s all gooood 👍
Got the OG with their chili. The dumplings are great, love the contrast of textures between the dough on too, the springy filling and the crusty yet mochi-like bottom. The sauce was just okay, it was kind of jammy but not in a good way. I'll get a different sauce nice time, because the dumplings were real nice.

As you head into the shop you can see them make the dumplings by the windows at the entrance. It was closed when we arrive just before 6pm because they had a large order that was being made. They did hand out fortune cookies while we waited. There was already a line and the shop wasn't even open yet.
Large menu on top of the counter so its easy to see what they have to offer, as well as the sizes, regular with 6 or large with 10. You can smell the cooking dumplings as you wait in line. We ordered and managed to get one of the few seats in the store. Most people just took their orders outside to eat them piping hot. The dumplings came with a sauce of your choosing.
They also had other things on the menu like tofu fries and shakes, but they weren't available when we were there.
The dumplings were bready. I was expecting something more akin to a gyoza. Flavours were nice. We had the OG and the 3 spice prawn. Tasted nice with and without the sauce. I felt it was more snackish than a meal though (otherwise you might end up ordering all the dumplings).
A great takeaway food option in downtown Auckland. The dumplings are delicious, the staff friendly and efficient. Did not have to wait long in the middle of the lunchtime rush. There are a couple of stools inside and more seating outside on the street. A bonus is that they offer wholemeal dough wraps!
Bloody good dumplings/potstickers. If you like a bit of a shake up on the conventional dumpling, someyhing slightly fried but moist and saucy. Id recommend giving these guys a try. I got the Beef n Cheese regular (6 pieces) and it is actually perfect for lunch.
Friendly bunch too that are happy to explain why their dumplings are different.
I have eaten a lot of dumplings in my life, and nothing quite compares to the dumplings at this place. The dumplings are fresh and absolutely delicious. Every bite was memorable and it just gave you that incredible sensation. Prices are fair and despite the long queues they serve your order within 5-10 minutes. This place is a must visit, whether you are a dumpling-lover or not.
