Dumpling Bar Restaurant on Kent

We came here for dinner and absolutely loved every single dish. The scallop and prawn dumplings were freshly made and steamed. The beef was tender and juicy. The calamari was perfectly fried and super tasty. 5/5 service and good food.

Exceeded Expectations Haven’t been to Sydney in ages and suddenly got a real craving for Cantonese food. A mate recommended this place, so I gave it a try—and what a hidden gem! What really surprised me was that their dim sum is entirely handmade with fresh ingredients (you can really taste the difference compared to the usual pre-made stuff you get elsewhere. Sadly, I forgot to take photos. Plus, it’s a nice mix of Chinese and Western style).

This hidden gem of a Chinese restaurant never disappoints! The dim sum is delicate and beautifully made, and every dish has its own unique touch. I came back again tonight and, as always, ordered my favorite Spicy Chicken. Unlike the usual version where you dig for tiny chicken pieces among piles of chili, theirs comes in big, juicy chunks — crispy on the outside, tender inside, and perfectly seasoned with that addictive spicy aroma. The Laksa Rice Noodles with Prawns are another must-try. The broth is light and coconut-rich without being heavy or greasy — just the right balance of flavor and comfort. Paired with a cocktail and the scallop with caviar, it’s an absolute delight. Every visit has been consistently great — never a miss, never a disappointment. ✨ Highly recommended! A true hidden gem worth revisiting again and again.

I recently had an incredible dining experience that perfectly balanced creativity, freshness, and sophistication. Every dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully crafted. A refreshing plate of marinated raw prawns served in a tangy soy–garlic sauce with a hint of chili heat. The prawns were fresh and delicately flavored, complemented by the slight acidity of lime — a perfect way to awaken the palate. The clay pot fish — beautifully seared pieces of fish with crispy skin and tender, flaky flesh. It was cooked with buttery garlic beans, green onions, and fresh herbs, creating layers of earthy and savory flavors. The scallion pancake is unlike the traditional thick and chewy version — it has its own distinctive charm. Shaped into a ring, it allows for even heating, making every bite perfectly crisp and fragrant. The addition of crushed osmanthus on top adds a delicate floral sweetness that makes the flavor truly unique and memorable. Soft, fluffy mini custard lava buns with a rich salted egg yolk filling. The texture is smooth and creamy, and the sweetness is perfectly balanced. Best enjoyed hot when the lava center is still flowing. Definitely worth trying!
