If you’re looking for authentic Chinese flavors in West Auckland, Yue’s Dumpling Kitchen (Henderson) is an absolute gem. As a loyal member, I find myself dining in or ordering takeaway almost every week, and it never disappoints.
This isn’t just another dumpling shop, it’s a place where you can truly taste the effort and passion behind every dish. The flavors are bold, the ingredients fresh, and the portions generous. Whether you’re craving something crispy, saucy, or spicy, there’s always something satisfying on the menu.
Guo Bao Rou (Crispy Sweet & Sour Pork) – A perfect balance of crispy and tangy flavors, this dish is an absolute standout.
Kung Pao Chicken – Tender chicken stir-fried with crunchy peanuts and a flavorful, slightly spicy sauce.
Yu Xiang Pork (Sichuan-Style Shredded Pork) – A delightful mix of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors, packed with umami.
Of course, taste is subjective, and everyone has their own preferences, but these dishes have been consistently excellent.
One of the best perks? Members who spend over $100 receive a complimentary serving of dumplings—boiled or pan-fried, with a variety of fillings to choose from. It’s a fantastic way to try more of their handmade dumplings, which are packed with flavor and have the perfect texture.
The owner clearly puts heart and soul into running the restaurant, and it shows. From the quality of the food to the customer service, everything feels thoughtfully managed. The atmosphere is casual yet welcoming, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal with family and friends.

My husband had the pork, prawn and chives dumplings. I had the crispy fried pork on rice which came in a sauce. It wasn't dry as I expected it would as served at other Chinese restaurants. But the pork was still crispy and had green capsicums and onions. It may not stay crispy as a takeaway but great to have eat-in. Considering the price, the portions were larger than expected and I would have been hard-pressed to finish my meal if I hadn't shared. Would definitely come back to try their...
Read moreVery tasty. Was 4 stars instead of 5 because I found something hard in my noodles and there was a huge chunk of raw onion in it. The workers looked like they were exhausted though. They were sleeping on the seating so maybe something happened.
The dumplings and sweet and sour pork were the stars of the show. They were crispy and juicy. The dumplings were served in a real strange way I’ve never seen before but they still tasted great (see photos).
Not a bad bite!...
