Sydney Dumpling King Burwood — Restaurant in Sydney

Chinese dumplings are plentiful in the promised land that is Burwood, but many I've asked have pointed me in the direction of Sydney Dumpling King as their top pick! The problem with Burwood though is that there are way too many good restaurants beckoning for you to eat at. After several years of having this place on my hitlist, i finally made it here for lunch! The dumplings here are done well, and are very affordable. 15 dumplings will set you back anywhere between $16-19. Add an extra $3 if you want it fried. The cool part is you can order two different types of fillings in one serving if you like - something I wish I knew before I ordered! They have some rather interesting filling options here like pork with eggplant or fish with sweet corn. It's hard to look past the classic pork with chive and beef with chive on your first visit to a dumpling restaurant though... "One boiled and one fried please!" We also took on an order of soup dumplings (xiao long bao) and some pan-fried pork buns too. They have a house-made chilli oil on every table that you can add to your dipping sauce. The dumplings themselves were really good. The fillings were flavourful, meaty, and the skin was of a medium thickness, a nice soft bite to them. I definitely think the fried dumplings and the xiao long bao were the best orders of the day. I probably wouldn't order the pan-fried pork buns again though. I felt like the fillings in these didn't have as much of a pork meat taste compared to the dumplings. I wouldn't say it's my absolute favourite dumpling spot in Sydney, but the dumplings are certainly up there with the better ones! Would happily come back to try other fillings. 📍 Sydney Dumpling...

We went to this place for a simple lunch today at around1.20pm, waited for over 40 minutes, very disappointed with empty stomach. we ordered 2 x pork and cabbage dumplings, and waited for over 20 minutes, and when we finally get the dumpling on the table, it has the wrong filling which one person can't eat it, so straight way we told the waitress it was a wrong order, and she took the dumpling away. After that, we sit there, just to watch other tables receiving their dumplings and dishes. 10 minutes later, we approached the waitress, and ask where is our replacement order, and why some table come after us has got their dumpling, she says because she put in wrong orders for us, so our replacement order will be placed after all other customer's order... and she says within 2 minutes, our dish will come out. By the time of 2pm, we still haven't received our dish, we were so starving, decided to leave. What a bad customer service, instead of make up for their mistake quickly, they simply put us on the end of waiting list. We were so disappointed with this place. Regarding the dumpling we tried with the wrong fillings, the size is much smaller than usual Chinese dumpling, and the skin is thick, and inside of the skin is still raw. it...
