Ramen & Dumpling House

Really great little place. Huge portions, tasty food, friendly service. Super clean too. Funny the name of the restaurant has «Ramen» in it even though they don’t serve ramen.
Try the A14 Prawn, vermicelli, egg and chive puffs… Delicious.

I had the pleasure of visiting Ramen & Dumpling house before I had to fast for 12 hours, so I wanted to make my meal count! Koornang street is extremely busy during the Friday dinner rush, so I count myself lucky to have gotten a seat at this bustling establishment, many were not as lucky.
The service considering it was a full house was attentive but not annoying. Our friendly waiter was patient with us and took the effort to explain certain dishes, answer questions and make suggestions. He was quick with water top ups and didn’t forget a thing which seems to be becoming a rarer quality these days.
Our meals came fast, but not so fast that you feel suspicious about what’s going down in that funky kitchen. We ordered classic honey chicken, vegetable noodles, s & p pork with dry garlic and vegetable boiled dumplings.
Not going to hyperbole my heart out here, but that honey chicken rocked my world, it’s was crisp on the outside and moist on the inside and just sweet, not sickly like you find sometimes– über impressed!
The noodles we’re good, packed with vegetable, lots of delicious Asian greens to make you feel like you’re doing okay for yourself, plus bean shoots and capsicum a plenty. I should add we asked for this especially instead of a chicken or beef noodle– they were more than happy to accommodate our request.
I’ve noticed a trend of late that people reviewing Chinese restaurants always say they «had the best dumplings ever!» Well, go to Ramen & Dumpling house and be proven wrong, because their Dumplings are better, they even give Aunties a run for her money, but Aunties is cheaper.
I found the pork rub flavourful but overall the pork itself dry and unappealing. I’m not a big fan of pork and the best of times, but I felt this had potential to be delicious but just missed the mark a little.
The entire meal cost us less than $ 60 but we ordered twice as much food as we needed, for generous servings, a decent atmosphere and great service, watching person after person get turned away was also a decent show. We even had lunch for the next day. I’m a fan, you should try it out chums!

I’ve been here twice now and I really enjoyed the food both times. But the first time cleanliness was a bit of an issues. Not the second time.
Most recently a lamb stir fry dish ginger oh yes, delicious. Dumplings were soo yummy, tofu very very yummy. I’d go back for the food. And the waitress was very friendly and nice. It’s obviously popular as the place was packed and we were seated in the window. My friend and I were both really happy with our meal.
There’s lots of choice in Koornang rd Carnegie but not all places are packed on a Saturday night. This one was. Parking behind is easy and prices very reasonably.

Big strip of Asian here & just as competitive as the rest. Dumplings, tofu and more for the vegan, and your standard Asian dishes for the carnivores. Kids love the veggies spring rolls & the booked chicken & prawn dumplings. A regular haunt for us but we’re just saying we need to explore some of the other haunts along this strip a bit more. No criticism, no standing ovation. Used to have 10% off before 7pm
