Dumpling King in Coventry

love the food and ambience. only problem is they are open at very less and odd hours.

This was my first time trying delivery from Dumpling King and I have to say the experience was faultless. Other restaurants should take note and use them as a template for their own delivery service. Ordering online was simple, the near immediate call back to confirm options (I had forgot to specify!) was courteous and clear. The actual delivery time, on a Saturday night, was amazingly quick and once again the thought that has gone into the packaging to keep the food piping hot was exemplary. As always the food was excellent and the portions massive. The 9 piece dumpling soup was incredible and more than enough for two. If they can maintain these incredibly high standards I will be ordering on a regular basis. Perfect experience from start to finish!

Lovely food definitely will go again! The waiter was really nice as he explained everything about the choices but it's clear on the menu anyway. Good portion size, very tasty food and very fast service too!

Customer service was amazing, but the food was a letdown, dumplings were average, the stir fry udon was bland and just bulked out with vegetables to maximise profit.

We tried the platter of 2 fried dumplings of the 5 flavours they offer and the sweet char sui loaded chips. Honestly some of the best dumplings I've had outside of Hong Kong, particularly the vegan option, and the loaded chips were not only fried to perfection but the char sui is some of the nicest I've had outside of my partner's family's home cooking. We'll certainly be returning with the intention of stuffing ourselves stupid with dumplings.

The best pan fried dumplings in Coventry, always will come back.

Food was great! Had pan fried Pork and Chive dumplings, Lamb dumplings and stir fried beef udon. The beef was so soft and flavoursome. The dumplings were sooo good! 10/10

Loaded fries and chow mein was really gooood 😋, prices were very okay and the staff were very friendly and kind. Would definitely come back for more.

Lovely service, I think we were their first customers of the day as they had just opened but both members of staff were very pleasant and recommended some dishes off the menu. The loaded fries were amazing! Would definitely return if I was ever in the area again.

Absolutely amazing food. Even has halal options. Coventry’s hidden gem

Amazing service and delicious food. The lady there was lovely.

Called in to order food to go, was really impressed with how clean the restaurant is and how helpful and nice the staff were. Also good options on the menu for vegetarian and vegan. The food was delicious, really fresh ingredients. We will be back!

Loaded fries is so good and they have 20%! I have never ate such good loaded fries in Coventry. Portion is very fulfilling, pork was so delicious. Definitely will order again!

Great fresh food and great service, would definitely recommend

Little restaurant and take away with freshly cooked there and then very tasty Chinese dishes to your requirements. I highly recommend.

Love the homemade dumplings. The mix and match flavours for both pan fried and soup. The fried noodles was excellent too. Love the broth/soup too!

Great tasting food, an opportunity not to be missed.

Very good food and good service

Outstanding food. All of the food items on the menu are outstanding! A definite must go to restaurant in Coventry!

Pork belly was soo good, as well as the pork dumplings. Loaded fries was also very good and fulfilling. Service was great. Very recommended.

Dyantha was a great host, she was friendly and very welcoming and even took the time to show me around the Menu and gave some recommendations. The food was great! there was a variety of dumpling flavours and dipping sauces so there’s something for everyone. Had a great chat with one of the owners, Ray, who was also very friendly and a delight to chat with. All in all it was a great atmosphere with great food and service. Would recommend.

The best dumplings I've ever had! Chow Mein is lovely too, everything is so fresh. Would definitely recommend to a friend. We've always loved their stall and the restaurant might be better. Short walk from Coventry Uni so great for a Friday lunch.

Can’t recommend this place enough. Absolutely amazing, great food great service and very clean. The dumplings was out of this world and these guys definitely know what their doing.

Me and my partner come here every few months since discovering and are never let down by the food or service. Delicious quality food (the dumplings, three meat roast and loaded fries are our favourites!) at a reasonable price. Love that it’s a family run business too. We’ll continue to come back again and again.

Fresh and tasty but on the pricy side

Very nice dumplings, and I love the loaded fries here, definitely recommend, I go there about once a month!!

The food is always amazing, super authentic, reasonably priced for massive portions and some cracking vegan options on offer. Highly recommended!

Had a great early dinner here with friends. Lots of options on the menu and good service. The kids especially loved the dumplings and loaded fries. We adults loved everything!

We went in at 13:55 on a Friday and we were greeted and told they'd be happy to stay open for us to eat. Some of the best food I've eaten in Coventry as it was all cooked fresh. The owner (I believe) spent a bit of time chatting before we left and made us feel so welcome! We will definitely be back for more food!

Excellent food and even better service. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic food and great friendly service.

Dumplings were good , the portion size was generous

Probably the best dumplings I've ever tried. The noodles are also so good. It's my new favourite place 😍

Loved it! The chilly oil is delicious and goes perfectly with the noodles and dumplings!

Amazing dumplings and fried noodles with their own homemade roast meats. Free parking in the car park next to the restaurant after 6pm.

We went past this place a couple of weeks ago in the morning and their menu looked interesting. We finally visited tonight and wished we hadn’t waited so long. We had the fried dumplings, pork and chive and the pork, and shitake mushroom ones. They were some of the nicest dumplings we’ve ever had. We also ordered the crispy pork and char siu streetfood noodles and they were also lovely. Service is very friendly, I hope more people will visit as this place deserves to do well.

Excellent food with a nice ambience!!!

Absolutely love this place!! My boyfriend and I have been back to Dumpling King multiple times and can not recommend it enough. The food is delicious and fresh, and it is really good value for how big the portions are. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience amazing and we can’t wait to go back there again.

Dumplings are perfect, we enjoyed to have a dinner there with the family. Only issue was the beef, which is already discussed with the restaurant. It is the best restaurant in the region

Great food, definitely living up to the dumpling king name. Excellent staff as well :) will be revisiting!

get me more of those 6 or 8 mixed dumpling trays! honestly so good, light, and flavoursome - will be back for more 🕺

Ordered on Deliveroo, food was so hot and fresh and friendly driver!! Would definitely go again

First meal from Dumpling King this evening and thought it was both fantastic value and a lovely meal. Portion sizes were big, full of flavour, not greasy and seasoned perfectly! Really enjoyed our food and will definitely order again! Thank you!

Stars: 4.5 Dumplings - tried all 5 of the flavours!! Overall, I thought the skin was a little too thick and the meat wasn’t as juicy as I expected. Personally, it’s lamb/beef > pork with mushrooms > pork with chives > veggie Noodles with crispy pork belly and charsiew pork - the crispy pork belly was one of the best I’ve ever tasted!! The skin was perfectly crispy (wasn’t chewy and tough) and the meat was moist. Sooooo good. The charsiew was pretty authentic too. Noodles were flavourful though personally, there was too much veggie mixed in.

Delicious dumplings, pleasant surroundings, well placed for a visit to the cathedral, city centre and parking. Friendly knowledgeable staff, great value, highly recommended.

Great food, great service and great value, Dumpling King is well placed for a visit to the Cathedral. This friendly restaurant is highly recommended.

Really enjoyed eating here. Absolutely fantastic dumplings and really tasty noodles. Food and service was definitely five stars. My only criticism would be I wasn't a fan of the plates which felt a little cheap and takeaway ish for a sit in meal.

Best Chinese dumplings I had so far in UK. Open kitchen, Friend staff, very clean premises. Good choice of noodles. Definitely return.

Properly good homemade dumplings and gorgeous noodles. Have eaten here twice this week as it’s so good. Super friendly and helpful team - we were running late for something and rang to see if we could pre order. Everything ready when we arrived and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. This food is seriously good and well cooked. Careful flavours, high quality ingredients. Nice welcoming space too - Yue Minjun laughing faces on the wall, decent lighting and warm too. So many places don’t turn on their heating this time of year and it’s grim eating in cold restaurant. Do go - you won’t be disappointed.

the best dumplings I've eaten so far. I came tonight to order a takeaway and I was greeted by the staf with great kindness and hospitality, while I was waiting for my order they offered me a magnificent glass of really good tea. besides the excellent service the food is amazing. Can't wait to order again. Well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow what a lunch time find! Wonderful food and really attentive and helpful owners. Will be back.

Absolutely amazing dumplings, so fresh, tasty and full of flavour. A must visit restaurant. The chilli oil has such an impact without being overly hot. Will definitely go again.

A bit pricey but the dumplings taste fantastic, full of flavour and moist inside the skin. Highly recommend for a quick bite.

Recommended by a restaurant blogger, the Dumpling King is worth seeking out. Other reviewers have spoken in glowing terms about the quality of food and service here in this small, sparse, open but warm restaurant. I can only confirm that it’s all accurate reporting. There’s a reasonable amount of “seating bar space” available for solo eaters - or those that just like to watch life on the streets of this corner of Coventry - which is an effective & efficient use of the space available. We ordered a 3-piece fried dumpling selection combined with chicken chow mein. Very good value for a decent sized portion. The green tea was served in attractive glass pots, with the loose tea held in a metal compartment. Nice touch. Sustainability credentials were visible throughout the dining experience. Impossible to find fault with this welcome addition to Coventry’s Gosford Street area.

First of all, and most importantly, service was fantastic! Greeted at the door with a wonderfully pleasant and helpful tone (and I'm sure a smile under the mask) and helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout our time there. Secondly, the food. Wow. So so good. Excellent dumplings, including their award winner. And the char siu chicken and pork, and crispy pork specials were amazing. I hope they become a permanent addition to the menu for when I next visit and we can have them again. Would love to see some additions of fish dishes to the menu, but this is purely constructive criticism! Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed! Already looking forward to our next visit.

Had heard good things about this place. So decided to stop off for meal on way home from family holiday. Had never seen this type of street food before in a UK fast food establishment so was interested. The family, two adults and four teens, absolutely loved it!! The food was delicious, the service was brilliant including a waitress who explained the ethos of what both Dumpling King and the food were about. Had a selection from the menu as we all shared each others. the dumplings themselves were very top notch and really very flavoursome. good value for money too. We all left for the second half of the journey full and happy. Will definitely return if in the area again. Keep up the outstanding work, oh and the restaurant was also lovely and airy. Thank you

Delicious dumplings and super quick service! Got the chilled ones to cook ourselves for a birthday party. Would definitely order again.

Food was absolutely delicious. One of very few places that serve dim sum. However, I would have absolutely loved Cheung Fun and it's not on their menu. Also, the green tea is served in a tea bag and not leaf. Even with these slight exceptionz, this is one of the most affordable and delicious dim sums I have had in a long time. Great service too.

We were in Coventry for the weekend and had dinner on Saturday evening at Dumpling King. We were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived by the incredibly knowledgeable Eva as front of house who was able to recommend and explain the dishes on the menu and the Chinese teas. We enjoyed lamb and pork dumplings and two noodle dishes from the specials menu. Highly recommended and in the words of my husband "flipping tasty". We will be back!

We were visiting Coventry just as it began its tenure as City of Culture. Looking for some food and on the recommendation of friends, we stopped in central Coventry to visit Dumpling King for dinner. We were not disappointed! The building is lovely and from the moment we entered we were met with a warm and friendly welcome. We were shown to our table and taken through the menu and the appetising mix of dumplings, noodles, soups and sides available. The food was tasty and flavoursome, and accessible for all ages. It was also great that we could order a variety of dumpling flavours to try. As a family of four, our team have quite a hefty appetite and I haven’t seen our kids eat so much in a long time! There was also a lovely and chilled vibe to the restaurant so it was a pleasure to spend a bit of time in such an environment with other diners. We hope to visit the next time that we are in Coventry and my son is still talking about the dumplings even now! Thank you Dumpling King team for looking after us and giving us such a lovely and long overdue evening out.

Great place, with delicious food and affordable prices. The waitress was so kind and bubbly and assisted with everything we needed. Great and welcoming atmosphere and really good portion sizes. Definitely recommend to anyone!

Amazing fresh food and great staff! I would 100% recommend them!

Ordered through Deliveroo, had the Beef Chow Mein with Udon noodles and a selection of Dumplings. Delivery was nice and quick, the delivery driver arrived with a smile and was very friendly and cheerful, a nice change to the usual blank stare hand off which usually takes place with a takeaway delivery. The food was delicious, especially the dumplings which were lovely dipped in the vinegar 😊 Will definitely be ordering again. Thankyou for the meal!

Melt in your mouth dumplings - definitely the king of what they do!

Ordered the Chicken Udon Noodles and the Pork & Chive Dumplings and couldn’t be more happy with what was delivered. Everything was super fresh & well flavoured! Would definitely recommend Dumpling King. Make sure you order the chilli oil for the dumplings too!

This relative newcomer offers delicious dumplings from a restored medieval building in bustling Gosford Street. Due to COVID restrictions, we were obliged to order for delivery. Service was prompt, efficient and extremely courteous. Our Sharing Platter represented excellent value for money. We shall certainly order again and hope to eat in the restaurant when normal life resumes.

Delicious. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with DK, it was brilliant. We had the Chef's Sharing Feast and I would highly recommend it. The dumplings are AMAZING!!! I could eat them allllll day. The chow mein was also very good, the best I've had from a "takeaway" not greasy at all and super tasty. Thank you for a great experience. Will recommend highly.

Finally able to enjoy vegan takeaway noodles again! I’ve had the vegan sharing platter twice now and both times have been wonderful!! So tasty and big portions for a good price! The staff are so so friendly and lovely at the shop. Definitely recommend!

I ordered from here not long ago and had the veggie dumplings with noodles. It was delicious. I remember having them before at a good festival where they had a good cart and was delighted to discover they had opened a walk in restaurant, I just had to try. My only gripe is I tho k they should at least one more dumpling. Would highly recommend to support this family run business.

Without a doubt the best dumplings and noodles I've ever eaten! Fresh, tasty, juicy and big portion. Other establishments offering a similar cuisine don't even come close! Great friendly service with a smile. I can't wait to come back!

Really great experience with these folks. We ordered one of the 10 item mixed dumpling platters, and some beef noodles to be delivered during the November lockdown. I'm not sure if delivery is something they typically do outside of lockdown or whether this was just...

Really friendly service, big portions of tasty noodles and the most delicious dumplings I've ever tasted!

An outstanding restaurant which is a must visit in the area! Myself and my girlfriend visited after work and both had the pork dumplings with noodles and the food was fantastic. But what really made the experience was the people. The lady serving couldn't have been lovelier, she was super chatty and enthusiastic. At the end of the meal we chatted to her and her partner who is one of the chefs there. A lovely couple who make the restaurant feel warm and welcoming. We will be returning there very soon!

Food is spot on, but I'd like to draw attention to the the experience. I ordered a takeaway and the lady was excellent in explaining the items and process. On arrival I was greeted by the same lady and she was fantastic. Both on the phone and when greeting she was professional, polite and cheerful. Also DK have found a fab little place. It has a great ambience and atmosphere for dining in.

Delicious. Polite staff. Great service.

Wonderful restaurant with a unique choice of dumplings. Highly recommend the peanut chilli sauce! Service was top notch and the staff friendly and relatable. We will be coming again 100%

Great quality food, friendly staff and a lovely place to sit in and eat. Definitely seeing me again!

Really good food, good portions, tasty. Friendly staff and great atmosphere

Great place, Super tasty dumplings and noodles, an extensive hot teas menu, and friendly service. Worth a visit if you're in the area (or, like us, worth a trip over from Warwick!).

The most delicious dumplings, noodles and loose leaf tea! Customer service was amazing, our server was really great at explaining everything and making sure we had everything we could possibly need. A great place to catch up with friends and hang out. A new favourite...

Incredible dumpings and friendly service.

Was really craving some dumplings/bao anything like that and found this little gem today. Walked in with my friend and was greeted instantly. Asked for take out and card options which they had. Our server did a take out vegan dumpling( WHICH WERE PHENOMENAL) and...

Quality food at low prices with amazing customer service. Very friendly and chatty. Had BYOB and very easy going place. Definitely a perfect place for a chill out dinner with family or friends.

Dumplings are delicious, all of them. On top of everything the people there are super friendly. Will defiantly be visiting again.

Nice, friendly place. Everything was delicious. Loved the vegan dumplings!

I've just had the most delicious meal at Dumpling King, they do vegan and non-vegan fresh noodles and dumplings and they are delicious. Lovely new restaurant which you can sit in and eat (excellent distancing and cleanliness practices) or you can take away. Would highly...

For those that know Far Gosford Street Dumpling King is located at the bottom next to Sainsbury. A Cool little place with lots of exposed wood and super relaxed feel to it. I had a Ginseng looseleaf tea for the first time which was fab...

I have visited this amazing restaurant multiple times and after trying almost every noodle bar/restaurant in and around Coventry I can safely say this is the best one and the noodles there are delicious. The staff are excellent and super helpful, not only in making...

We decided to try Dumpling King after reading a review on Instagram about them using Aubrey Allen for their meat, so I expected the food would be good quality. Well the whole experience didn’t disappoint. Close to Fargo village, there is plenty of nearby parking....

A new street food style place near Fargo village and next to Coventry University. We had the mixed selection of dumplings and chicken noodles - we loved both but the dumplings were just divine. We had the beef, lamb, pork and mooli dumplings. My favourite...

The BEST dumplings and noodles. Great place. Friendly service. Highly recommend for an authentic quality meal 👍

Went to visit this new food venture on 28 August for lunch just round the corner from Fargo in Coventry. What can I say...the dumplings were simply amazing. Fantastic flavours and superb quality! Will be coming again and again and again.

Lovely new street food style place round the corner from Fargo. We had the mixed selection of dumplings and chicken noodles - loved both but the dumplings are some of the best we have had (and we eat a lot of street food!)

I'm so excited to leave the First review for this place! The owner has owned his dumplings business as a food stall for festivals and markets for many years, and now finally it's also a sit down restaurant! My friends and I went in today to have a catch up and get some tasty food! We were not disappointed! I ordered the 'Vegan Vegetable Noodles & Dumplings' and my friends ordered the Vegan dumplings and the 'Lamb, Carrots & Coriander Dumplings'. My portion was very big! I ended up taking half of it home for later, which is great for me as it saves me cooking dinner. 🤣 We all got different teas with our meal. Each tea is served in a teapot, which yielded atleast 5-glasses full... Talk about good value! The shop could seat maybe about 25+ guests... And all the city measures are in place for COVID, including signs, hand sanitizer, etc. The vibe is really chill, and there's seating for both groups, and also bar seating area at the windows for singles. There is a disabled public toilet inside. It's about a five-minute walk from the city centre, and right on FarGosford Street next to Sainsburys. I would double check the hours before you go, as majority of places are regularly updating their hours during the ongoing pandemic. I would definitely recommend checking this place out! Great taste, good value, and excellent service!
