Auntie’s Dumpling

Should have turned left. Felt like having dumplings and randomly found this place to try out. One of the dishes ordered was the pan fried pork dumplings. It came out charred and dry. Everyone else’s that ordered the same looked like it was cooked properly except ours. Service was bad as well.

Nice place with very good prices. You can get a main meal, a plate of noodles and 15 largish dumplings for around $ 30. The Shanghai noodles are very nice and the family enjoyed the fried dumplings more than the steamed dumplings.
The staff are pleasant enough but sometimes the communication skills aren’t great. We have been a few times and would strongly recommend this place if you are looking for a cheap and tasty, no frills meal.

Read a few reviews and chose to try it while in the area. Was exactly as others had told. Cheap, quick and good dumplings. Other food looked good and place was very busy with locals. I’d go back if in the area.

Great no-​frills Dumplings restaurant. Really cheap ($ 8.50 for 15 dumplings) and the service is good. It’s definitely worth the short wait for a table

Awesomely huge and tasty handmade dumplings (15 for $ 8.50!?) be sure to ask for a takeaway container when you’re finished coz you’re gonna need it.
Friendly staff and complimentary green tea.

If you’re looking for cheap, quick and tasty meal, look no further. Aunties has an awesome range of noodles, dumplings and Asian delights to feast upon. For less than $ 20 you can fill up and still have change. I recommend the veggie pan fried dumplings, egg custard buns and Shanghainese noodles #drool

Those are some super-​awesome dumplings! :-)
This is the best dumpling place we I have ever been to!

As a family we visit here quite often, the place is always packed and you need to join the queue outside to get a table, but the dumplings are great. Cheap and the kids just love the chicken and prawn steamed. I’m a fan of the Ma Po (tofu) and the veggie dumplings and throw in a bowl of fried noodles with seafood and the whole family is happy.
Pity about the grumpy and scratchy service (you’ll need to ask a few times for water — we end up just getting it ourselves) and it takes a few years of visiting to get a smile out of the lady on the till.
But great food, leaving with a full belly and a grizzle about the wait but overall it’s the great value that outshines.

Our local take away dumpling house. Oh the restaurant is always packed, so it is a good sign!
There is a wide selection of places you can get your fix in Koornang Rd, but this is the top of the list.

Was gagging for cheap and cheerful dumplings and there was about 14 people lining up but queue moved quickly and we were seated within about 10 minutes. There was a full container of delicious chilli jam that I swear you could eat by the spoonful. Menu was extensive and our waitress advised us that we were ordering too much so we culled the list down to fried beef, steamed beef, chicken and prawn and shanghai pork dumplings as well as Chinese broccoli and spring onion pancakes. Bill came to $ 57 on the old school calculator including four soft drinks! Much love!

Ok, I don’t know how our experiences were so different, but this is mine. It seriously disappointed.
There’s always a queue there, so I was looking forward to trying it out. Perhaps this is because it’s affordable, or because it’s the nearest dumpling place to the station.
I came, I queued, I got ignored whilst seven people were served in front of me. Not impressed. Let’s continue. The dumplings were gelatinous. Not good gelatinous either, if there is such a thing. The insides were watery and the outsides were gooey. And the smell… oh dear, not nice. Needless to say I didn’t go back.

Good, flavoursome dumplings at a really good price. The Shanghai fried pork mini buns are addictive. They’re kind of like a cross between the regular pan-​fried dumpling and a xiao long bao. For those who don’t know what that it, it’s a steamed pork dumpling which also contains some pork broth. When eating it you should break the dumpling skin, making sure to retain the broth, and either suck out the broth or pour it on your spoon to drink. Xiao long bao have an almost cult following. Some prefer a very porky broth, while others want flavour and seasoning above all else. It’s just a matter of trying a few and seeing what works best for you.
Despite the name, Auntie’s Dumplings offers so much more than just dumplings. The traditional Shanghai Fried Noodles is quite a popular dish, and the Braised Belly Pork in Noodle Soup is another one of their hits. In fact, you probably can’t go wrong with most things on their menu. Even with something more adventurous like the Wine Hock — pork hock marinated in shaoxing wine.
I’ve been here a few times and the food is consistently good, and the place is almost always packed. Even on weekdays it’s not uncommon to see a line leading down the street at about 7:00pm onwards. The service is fast as they need to turn over tables quickly, so don’t expect to stay chatting away all night.

If you are in the market for some of the finest dumplings in town you are reading the right review today my friend. These dumplings are just about as good as they get.
Mmm pan fried beef dumplings. As you bite into the dough that has become the perfect combination of chewy and crunching the juices that were sealed inside finally get their time to shine, but only for just one moment as it will all be over before you have even had a chance to have a breathe. Lucky that was only the first one.
