Dumpling Shack in Tower Hamlets - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Bad, rude customer service. Unimpressive product. Not a single redeeming quality. Don't go. You'll be left disappointed

I travel a lot. Shanghai, Hongkong etc. I can honest saying that the food here has nothing to do with authentic Chinese food. These are the worst pork soup dumplings I have ever had. Dry, thick skin with greasy sour meat inside. Totally disaster. Noodle is very spicy with lots of oil. It seems like the owner spent all his time on social media and zero effort on the food. There are many soup dumpling restaurants in Chinatown. Do yourself a favor and go get some real good Chinese food.

dumplings were dry and have thick dough. There was no soup inside of the dumplings. definitely not what the soup dumplings should taste like. wonton noodles were tasteless. not sure how they got all good reviews.

My daughter regularly gets takeaway meals from Dumpling Shack its her favourite. The noodles are like no other you have tasted, totally delicious, fresh and tasty. We particularly liked the onion pancakes. Highly recommended for a reasonable price. Great portion sizes - tasty and fresh. Thanks guy

Visited on a whim whilst in the area. Absolutely scrumptious sesame noodles with quick service. Highly recommend and would visit again.

Oh my word. THE BEST dumplings you will ever eat. Go for the pork soup ones, you won’t regret it. Already planning another trip all the way from Oxford!

So today we visited the dumpling shack after reading great reviews and we were not disappointed! Quick and easy to order (contactless) we had the pork dumplings, and spring onion pancakes. Dumplings were full flavour, nice and filling 10/10 Spring onion pancake very nice and crispy, maybe a wee bit greasy but we all finished them off. Great atmosphere, really fair price will definitely revisit!! Thanks

We had heard a lot about this place and visited at lunchtime so see what it was all about. Delicious food at a reasonable price, we waited about 20 minutes from queuing to having our food as this place is very popular. Friendly staff and the food is so good, a must have is the soup dumpling but also tried prawn wonton, cucumber and spring onion pancake which were all sublime to. We will be back!

The Dumpling Shack was in the Collective building where I stayed last weekend. The food smelled delicious and we could see that it was being freshly prepared as we walked through the lobby. So, when we got home on Saturday night and didn’t feel like going out again for dinner, this was the obvious choice. Now, I am not a great dumpling fan - they look to pale and slippery to have ever appealed to me, until now! Not knowing what to order, we went for a set menu of spicy beef noodles with a couple of pork dumplings, chicken rice bowl and spicy chicken. Food was literally ready in minutes and tasted amazing! I will never be put off by the appearance of the poor dumpling again! The chicken was crispy and I loved the cabbage served with the rice. I’ll definitely be going back!

If you want to have authentic Chinese food, don't bother to go to this Dumpling Shack. You can get better Chinese food in China town even though it is not the best Chinese I have had. Wanton doesn't look like the authentic wanton, dan dan noodle is even worse! This is not the right way to make the dan dan noodle. And by the way, the noodle served in Wanton noodle and dan dan noodle should be different types of noodle! Just a fake Chinese food place that lure foreigners to pay them.

So I googled "best dumplings in Shoreditch (London)" and Dumpling Shack came up. I was not disappointed. Loved the dumplings and loved the market which I didn´t know yet. There was lots of other interesting food options on the menu like hand-drawn noodles, but I was in a hurry. Will have to go again.

My friend insisted we try this place as she loved the dumplings. She wasn’t wrong. I went for the 4 pan fried soup pork dumplings and they were very filling. Lovely and hot and my order came within a few minutes. Very busy so no where to sit nearby.

Simple and beautifully effective. All the food is made with love and attention, which is very obvious! Great service and super friendly staff. MUST try.

Love this place - my go to every time I’m at Spitalfields. Their chilli oil is home made and spot on, great noodles - go for the Dan Dan or Spicy Prawn Wonton. Delicious pork dumplings that go fab with their chilli sauce. Would 100% recommend

Dumpling Shack are known for their pork pan fried soup dumplings & I’ve visited them religiously every weekend for nearly a year... however the standards in the past months have been slipping. Perhaps it's down to the fact that they've got so busy. The quality had become rather erratic, sometimes you get the soup inside the dumplings, sometimes their dry as a biscuit. The worst bit was during a recent visit the meat was pink... whilst it wasn’t in uncooked, it looked kinda gross. Coupled by the fact that the service is never particularly welcoming - I've visited regularly for a year nearly & have rarely been acknowledged nor received a thank you or please... There were delicious moments before but the disappointment outweighs the positives these days.

I only saw the one in Canary Wharf a few weeks back and finally ordered last weekend. The Dumplings were some of the best that I have tasted and the Spring Onion Pancake I had never had before. The Chicken Rice was okay but the chicken is very crispy (others will love it). The Cheesy Chips with Spiced Beef was brilliant, not too spicy but just enough. Will be ordering again soon.

Came here for Pork Pan Fried Soup Dumplings. Dumpling with soup inside were so delicious. Only downside - as dumplings are prepared fresh i had to wait¨about 30 minutes. But definitely worth of waiting. Will come again.

Came across Dumpling Shack on Google Maps and decided to give it a try for a little bite to eat. Ordered the pork dumplings and prawn wontons which were both extremely tasty, however I did prefer the pork dumplings! It came to about £14 for...

I often find dumplings pretty average. But the pan fried pork dumplings here are anything but average - they’re probably the most delicious dumplings I’ve ever had. They’re super hot (so be careful!) but the soup inside is so flavourful and the meat to soup...

The pork dumplings are very nice - they are large and juicy with good amount of soup. The dough is crunchy on one side and soft on the other. Overall very tasty although slightly expensive for the quantity, but I would definitely recommend. Also wanted...

Popped in here for a quick snack today and chose the freshly made prawn wontons with chillies. Although the bowl looked small it was very filling, tasty and moreish. Recommend!

I bought food from dumpling shack as I wanted to try something new and I was in the old splitsfields area. Overall the food was alright I had beef & noodles I had a pancake with it although it was over fried it still tasted...

Still good dumplings but the Pork seems more fatty / lower quality than it was before the shut down and is missing the leek. The taste is a bit more like sausage roll than it used to be, there used to be more interesting flavour...

Stumbled across this place when I happened to be starving and I am so glad I did. The dumplings were delightful, inexpensive, and hit the spot. Highly recommend.

Just wow. The food was incredible. Best dumplings I have had in a long time. The noodles and smacked cucumbers were also super tasty.

Good portion size and pretty decent tasting prawn wontons. The chilli oil is really tasty, but can be a touch overpowering and if you don’t like spicy food, maybe ask them to pour on a little less. Worth another trip to try something else.

The place offers not only dumplings, but also noodles and they are all delicious. The meals are prepared expertly and they are very delicious.

スピタルフィールドマーケット内の中華屋台です。１０００円ほどしますがガーリックとパクチーのきいた中華麺等が楽しめます。

I love this place and not for the dumplings. the dumplings are good but imo this place is all about the noodles!! The dan dan noodles are the perfect comination of flavours - i'm itching to try the cumin lamb hand pulled noodles but i...

Located in Old Spitafields market, this stall is definitely worth a try. We opted for 6x leek and pork dumplings; each of them were flavour and had a crunchy texture on the bottom. Be careful, though, if you bite into the whole thing the soup...

他の人が餃子（Dumpling)を美味しそうに食べていたのを見て、私も買ってみました。一体どれを注文したんだろう？とメニ...

Delicious homemade food appreciated after a long day at work! The smacked cucumbers were a great alternative I’d never tried before - really flavoursome & fresh. Pork & leek pan fried dumplings are delicious too! Be careful not to burn your mouth like I did...

Lots of hype about the dumplings so had to come for a try. First thought: Expensive! Second thought: Looks great! Third thought: There is nothing particularly out of the ordinary about these dumplings. They taste fine. Bit disappointing 1 never had soup in it at...

I was hungry for lunch and wandered around the many food stands. This one stand caught my attention becasue, for one reason, of the line of people. My order was taken quickly and food delivered quickly as well. I had one of the combination lunches,...

I’m not a big fan of soup or dumplings but i’m big into street food and saw the pork and leek soup dumplings recommended on youtube. I was in two minds as the website said the dish was nearly £12. However, wandering past the stall...

I've been following this place on Instagram for a year, finally I could managed to try it. I traveled from Cambridge because of them and it was a very disappointing experience. They don't make any handpulled noodles on the weekend and they didn't have lamb...

Our first time trying soup dumplings and Dan Dan noodles. Loved the dumplings which were flavoursome and had great crispy texture on the outside but full of flavoursome sausage & leak type filling and bursting with soup when you bite into it. Service was fast,...

The pork and leek soup dumplings are divine. Love the crunch texture on the bottom of the dumpling. Be warned they squirt soup everywhere if you try to bite straight in half

I have been here 3 times. The first i loved it, second was disappointed as dumplings were dry and overcooked (left sitting too long) and had my 3rd and final visit yesterday. I'm osrry to leave a bad review but hoping constructive feedback helps. Was...

Ce stand situé à Old Spitalfields Market vaut vraiment le détour tant il propose un ensemble de mets asiatique savoureux...

The best dumplings in London. The girl taking the order was quick and friendly, food arrived very quickly too. Dumplings were bursting with soup and very flavoursome.

Zufällig Suppe und Wantan in Chili Öl probiert. Beides schmeckte ausgezeichnet und der Preis ist auch nicht zu hoch. Wenn...

These guys make fresh dumplings daily, and they’re some of the best in London. I usually opt for their Shengjianbao - pan fried soup dumplings filled with minced pork, leek and water chestnut. It’s absolutely glorious - if you can master how to eat them....

Having followed them on Instagram thought I would try their food. It’s very expensive for the noodles which is slightly bland. The wonton is nice and the pan fried boa are nice.

I had heard a lot about this place. Decided to try it out and wasn’t bowled over. They were OK but nothing special. One of the better options in the market though.

I have eaten here twice. The dumplings are very mediocre and nothing like authentic dumplings. The staff are quite rude to the point that I asked for a refund on my third visit. Won't be back.

Quite simply this place has focused on its speciality of the pork soup dumplings. The vegetarian dumplings are some of the worst I’ve had. They were over cooked and split in the box and also had absolutely no flavour to it. With a rise in...

Well Spitalfields is amazing now and all the artisanal eateries and market make it a must visit. The Dumpling 🥟 Shack and it’s food is the closest I’ve had to the dumplings in Shanghai about 10 years ago and the smell and taste took me...

Muito saborosos e fresquinhos. São super leves e quanto mais torradinha a base, mais gostosos são. Deliciosos.

If you’re in Old Spitalfields Market, it’s a definite must to go here! Amazing dumplings the best I’ve ever tried! The dandan noodles are a bit on the super spicy side but so tasty, wantons are also to die for.. I can’t recommend dumpling shack...

It's hard to choose from the range of amazingly tempting options in Spitalfields, but Dumpling Shack had been strongly recommended to me, and it didn't disappoint. Quick service despite the constant stream of customers, and their pork and leek soup dumplings were superb. Highly recommended!

Really quaint place, staff are friendly , the dumplings are beautiful! Not too keen on the dan dan beef , not enough beef mainly noodles and too much cucumber for me , just personal preference

Then shenjianbao were perfect - crisp at the bottom, chewy at the top, filled with a mouthwatering mix of pork and meat, and even came with a side of black vinegar. Delicious. The only issue I had was, on the day I found the shop,...

Jumped on the tube to visit Spitalfield Market. Most of the booths were rigging down for the day but we needed to eat. We toured every shop that was cooking and Dumpling Shack smelled inviting. We ordered Vegetarian Dumplings and an order of Pork and...

Best wontons in London. The queue is long but it’s worth the wait. Go for the Dan Dan noodles too. Never disappointed
