Epsom Spicy House — Restaurant in Albert-Eden

A hidden and underrated local business in the heart of Epsom/New Market! The place is relatively understated and looks deceivingly basic from the outside. However, the food - especially the dumplings - is anything but! Great value for money with generous portion sizes. They make their dumplings in house and fresh every day and you can definitely taste the difference!

I recommend the spicy dumplings (you can ask for them to be spicier, the default is not very spicy since they cater for all palettes) and the pan fried dumplings (pork & chives)

The owners themselves are warm and caring. They remember my order every time and even when I order for my mum, they remember to make it less spicy!

When I think of “supporting small local businesses” this is...

I see some people here complainning about the Sweet and Sour pork not being close to their taste. Did you know that most Chinese Resuranrts here have Kiwinized the Sweet and Sour pork, so Kiwis would love it. That means wherever you go, they all taste differently. And for those who complain about the foods, please find me a Chinese Resturant that would do $12 a big bowl of dumplings in NewMarket. And of course, they have nearly no taste, thats why it...

Ordered on door dash. Sweet and sour pork tasted like it had been sitting all day, dumplings tasted worse than the supermarket ones, no flavour and wasn’t even spicy despite being called that, and the noodles were overcooked sadly. Can’t give it a one because it was a delivery order but still nothing was gonna make that taste good and we didn’t even finish the food sadly just couldn’t stomach it! Worst order on door...
