Yue's Dumpling Kitchen Albany Store — Restaurant in Upper Harbour

Tried dinner here for first time. Ordered spinach stir fry with woodear mushroom, their popular honey pork chop, kung pao chicken, steam blue cod and a few more dishes. Everything was so good, stir fry has good wok hay and the steam fish was fresh. Only thing I can complain was that they gave our fish to another table so we had to wait again. So even though they have good IT system for the restaurant, but they dont use it as well. But overall, the chinese dishes here is one of the best in Auckland.

Was craving for a dumplings meal and this place did not disappoint. Price are reasonable here and they are generous with the sauces. Pot sticker was my favourite, nicely crisp and juicy filling. The boiled dumplings was just as good. Chili sauce that they use have a smokey flavour which goes well with a little bit of vinegar. We also tried their potato salad, it was huge portion and tasted very good. Definitely will come back...

Just about ruined my mums Mother’s Day. Come here for what was meant to be a lunch but it just about could’ve been a dinner. Why? Because they forgot our order. We watch everyone else getting their food and have to eventually ask what’s happening with ours. What’s worse is there wasn’t even a semblance of an apology. Considering the decent restaurant atmosphere, you’d be better off going to your local Chinese takeaway to get sweet and sour pork. They must’ve put 20 lemons into the sauce it was so sour, and I’d have to eat my car seat’s leather to eat something more chewy. And then they take another eternity with our dumplings and they give us pork dumplings instead of the egg dumplings we ordered. Once again, no apology. They took so long I was late for work and there was no compensation. Highly disappointing and won’t...

Absolutely ridiculous — from the beginning of the meal to the very end, the Guobaorou I ordered never arrived. I asked the staff multiple times, and the answer was always the same: “It’s not ready yet.” Then, to my surprise, a table that came after us got their Guobaorou served first — apparently because they ordered it without sauce.

So what? Just because I ordered the saucy version, it’s suddenly my fault it’s delayed?

The dishes were not served in order, and when I questioned the service, the excuse I got was: “We only have two woks in the kitchen.”

To make things worse, that later table got all their dishes served within ten minutes, and the staff were especially polite to them. The contrast in treatment is really...
