Dumplings of China in Edinburgh, City of

Over £14 for a small plate of (well cooked) pak choi is taking the prawn cracker. The enormous profit margin is certainly not going on the decor. The braised pork belly was undercooked and gloopy, though the dumplings were good. Felt ripped off.

Really great Find. Feels very authentic. Food was delicious our waiter was very attentive. We tried the dumplings and the crispy pork both were very tasty.

Food was good. Services was prompt. But the Atmosphere could do with some attention. Awful Bright florescent lights, dates seats and just a little riff raff.

Dumplings were clearly so fresh! Also recommend the milk bars

The best Chinese food I've ever tried in UK. No exaggeration.

Best Chinese in Edinburgh. One if the best in the UK.

Excellent Chinese, we had a selection of different dishes and they were all amazing. Prices very reasonable, service very good!

My colleague and I had a craving for some dumplings after work and decided to try out Dumplings of China, and what a feast we had! We had the prawn pork and chive dumplings and the beef dumplings, both with great flavour, juicy and perfect dumpling skin. We also had the green beans with minced pork and chilli and the lamb with cumin and onion with egg fried rice on the side. Everything had great balance and the addition of great soy sauce, crispy chilli oil and vinegar on the side meant we could make our own dipping sauces. We'll be back for some more of the menu, our waiter was also really lovely and friendly and happy to chat after we'd finished. Great restaurant.

By far the best SWEET & SOUR Crispy pork I have had. It's a dish you shouldn't miss with boiled rice to accompany.

Nice enough food but a bit on the expensive side for our takeaway.

The food was scrumptious! High quality, lots of flavour, very tasty

Beef belly noodle soup with the rainbow dumplings- really, really good. Just be careful if like me you're over six foot, the ceilings to get to the bathroom are not very high. Recommended.

Honestly cannot recommend this enough. Had Beef belly noodle soup and we split the rainbow dumplings. All were excellent. When the bulk of the customers are all chinese in a chinese restaurant, you know you've found a winner.

This has to be the best Dong Bei Chinese restaurant I ever had in the whole Europe. Food was so good especially the sweet and sour pork, very authentic taste from the Northern east area of China. Hand made dumplings are also must eat dish. Good value including some free soft drinks. Will defo go back.

Excellent sea bass. Interesting dumplings, some good, others acquired taste.

Very tasty and fresh dumplings. One of the best I ever had. Good seasoning, great ingredient combination, nice balance. I appreciate the kitchens are open. The main room is little but welcoming. We were served even if the restaurant was closing.

I really miss home so I came here specially to eat beef noodles🥹 I almost cried after one bite😭The meat is super tender, the noodles are chewy and the soup is rich. It’s great to have this restaurant in Edinburgh Although I feel very sorry that I didn’t finish it all in the end Because the boss is so straightforward, the bowl of noodles is a huge portion! Great value for money! Next time I will bring all my friends to eat! 🤣

This gonna sound like a fake review, but what an amazing place to have food. My cousin and I went there for lunch. Once we opened the door, we could see the ladies making fresh dumplings, and we were greeted with a nice smile from both of them. We order, got some complementary prawn crackers, and not long after the dumplings arrived, a mix of 14 all colours and flavours..and what a flavour. Then or noodles soup also arrived, and what a generous portion. In my opinion, there was a bit of flavour missing on the soup but didn't take away the amazing experience and food provided. Also, most of the dishes they serve can be shared do to their sizes ;)

Dinner in the evening, service was very friendly. The Guobao Pork is delicious, the sauce is very flavorful, and the skin of the Guobao Pork is still crispy even to the end of the meal! The beef noodles are also delicious. The meat is stewed very soft and delicious, the soup is not too salty, and the noodles are chewy. Affordable price, very satisfied!

Been coming back for their homemade rainbow dumplings ☺️ This time we also received some complimentary sea tangle with lemon and chili oil, good with rice! Also we were getting Northern sweet & sour pork for a while, but there is very little meat now and it's mostly fried dough 😔 sauce is good though, if there was less batter it would be great! Our server also was very attentive and friendly telling us about the complimentary dish and packing our to go box for us, but we felt too shy to ask for his name 🥹🙏🏻

This is a great weekend place, fast and friendly service, fantastic dumplings. Highly recommend

Good chinese food. The young guy who served us was so lovely. Really great with our wean.

Good food and service. Would revisit next time I'm working in Edinburgh

Best dumplings Ive ever had in the UK. Really delicious Chinese food.

Pro: - Staff was really nice - food was fast - solid price point But just room for improvement: - The salt baked chicken had an uneven temperature, so not sure if it was reheated inconsistently in prep. - The king prawn is pretty tasty, but you should devien when you also butterfly it. I'll attach a pic. - Maybe check if customers need water or any top up

Great place, delicious food, fast service. I definitely recommend this. One of the best meals I've had in the UK.

Great food, highly recommended.

The food was very satisfying. Delicious food and friendly Steff.

These were probably the best dumplings I've eaten so far. I highly recommend rainbow dumplings and beef belly noodles. Tripe is also quite good, but could do more spice.

Their dumplings are very delicious and I like the fact their are made fresh and in front of you. Their other dishes and sides are delicious as well. Highly recommended

Really awesome dumplings and noodles. Great service and very clean. 10/10 will come again

Late night, last minute stop and the food and service were fantastic!! Well needed after a long day!

Always my favorite place to eat in Edinburgh. Not big restaurant but the menu is great. The taste here is very different with the other ones in Edinburgh. Love all the homemade dish here like homemade beef and pickle fish. Staff is very friendly.

It’s now closing from 8th to 24th April, but not updated on google map.

Went here to try their dumplings! Fresh and tasty with good filling and the pastry was also perfect! we tried their pork and chives dumplings! Also ordered the chicken sweetcorn soup which was also very tasty! The place had a proper authentic vibe and didn’t fail to deliver! Staff is nice and friendly! Toilets were also very clean!

I dined there on my first visit to Edinburgh. I ordered a large portion of boiled pork and onion dumplings and mine accompanied by a soup of noodles, shrimp and tomato. Both of these dishes were ok, the boiled bundles were a hair too much for my liking. We also shared a plate of Japanese Tofu with Broccoli, which was spectacular. We spent a total of £43 for three mains and two fizzy drinks.

Very tasty dumplings . Fast and friendly service. Was a nice touch with prawn crackers at the table too. Would recommend for any dumpling lover

Loved it. Best Chinese Food ever. Really, very tasty! Quick and friendly!

Me and the buisness hopped off the bus and took our takeaway pizza it was very good one of the best pizzas ive ever had 10/10 must try again

On 17th February 2024, It's been a long time since I sent it to you. All staffs were very kind as usual. All curtains were also very good. We enjoyed very much. Thank you! On 27th November, we visited here for our lunch. Staffs were very kind! The meals were also very good as usual. Looking forward to visiting again. Thank you! On 3rd July 2021, my wife and I visited this restaurant for our lunch. All staffs are very kind as usual and the meal taste is also very good as usual. We enjoyed very much. Looking forward to visiting again soon. Thank you! Saturday‘S lunch in here. I think this dumplings is very taste. Comfortable restaurant and very kind staff.

The Maos Pork (belly) is transporting. The photo in the menu looks more "restauranty", but when it comes out it looks and tastes like my grandma made it. Lots of lean pork with just enough belly fat (not too much fat as happens sometimes). Paired it with morning glory / 通心菜 , it's like home cooking. Sorry I forgot to take a photo before I devoured it. Will be back to try the many other tasty items on the menu and will update!

OMG! This is definitely a Top Notch Savoury Northeast Cuisine that is a GEM in Edinburgh. The sweet and sour crispy pork is you can't miss out in your order. The pork is so crispy and juicy! The dumplings are full of flavours and the chef handmade each and every! Definitely a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED RESTAURANT IN EDINBURGH. The owners are very customer orientated and you will definitely be welcome with so much smiles and warmth! Very Authentic Northeastern Chinese cuisine that you will be able to find in the HEART OF EDINBURGH.

Amazing fried pork and, of course, dumplings.

Je tiens à préciser que je n ai pas mangé dans ce restaurant car ce que j ai vu m en a empêché, j ai demandé une table pour 3 et l on m a invité à descendre, je me suis retrouvé face à une porte ouverte qui n aurait pas du l être , je pense, car il y avait au sol des caisses de poissons ouvertes avec presque dedans une serpillière !!! Crasseuse, les normes d hygiène absolument pas respectées , scandaleux !je suis obligé de le dire c est trop important

Sehr authentisches und leckeres Essen, gutes Preis-Leitungsverhältnis. Freundliches Personal. Vielen Dank!

I don't think I've tried a better Mapo tofu since... well.. since Sichuan! :) Hard to find a place in Europe that uses real Sichuan peppers. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavour!

Come here for Top notch flavour and excellent service.

Service is great！ 老闆娘和店員都非常親切，服務很好。 能在這麼遠的地方吃水餃還是開心的。 只能說英國的蔬菜還真不像加州甜，甚至偏苦。白菜、角瓜無法帶出水餃香甜。

Went here about three times now and was not disappointed once. Dumplings are very tasty - can get them steamed or fried. Their sweet and sour chicken or the pork are really good. Paired with green or jasmine tea it makes it a genuine experience. A great place to go for a more casual but delicious dinner.

Generous portions of good food. We'll definitely be back here.

Best Guobaorou in Edinburgh! 爱丁堡最好吃的锅包肉！

Managed to get a table here last Friday. Great find. Food eas amazing. Massive portions and all very tasty. Food comes out very haphazardly but as long you are ok with that's fine

Really good, authentic Chinese food. We had the Rainbow Dumplings ("when in Rome"), the Kung Pao chicken (really spicey and delicious) and the Japanese Tofu with Broccoli (rich flavours). The service is prompt if you need to run to the nearby cinema / theatre. It's not fancy, and certainly not somewhere to go for a special occasion, but if you're looking for good food quickly, you can't go wrong.

Very authentic place! Amazing dumplings and great service :)

Delicious and good price for the food!! The soups are great, and dumpling very tasty. Thanks :)

Very good quality food and cheap prices. 100% recommend

Very good very kind delicious and fast service

Great food in here but they dump waste in communal bins. Sort that out please.

Too slow to fill orders, and price is higher than it should be.

Ordered 2 cokes and they were put on table unopened no glass provided ao had to drink from can. Ordered kung pao chicken. Hubby ordered sweet and sour crispy pork. I recieved my dish and had to wait 19 minutes before rice arrived. Gary's rice came along with mine but he had a further 10 mins or so wait for his main dish. I would expect my rice and main dish to be served at same time. However I would say on a positive note the food was lovely.

Out favourite Chinese place in Edinburgh. Absolutely fantastic dumplings! The restaurant was closed for some months but we are so glad it is open again.

Great food at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff

Very authentic Northeast Chinese food, but perhaps a little salty for me! The chefs are all from China, and it’s probably one of the best Chinese restaurants for Northeast Chinese cuisine. I recommend trying the dishes other than dumplings.

饺子馅做得真不错，有惊艳的感觉。意犹未尽所以另外加点打包了一份大盘水饺做路上点心。

A good place to eat delicious chinese food. I recommend the japanese tofu with broccoli. Love it so much. We also have the sweet and spicy beef which is crispy outside but still juicy and tender.

饺子招牌，💷8——7个，💷12-14个 烧烤:💷2-1串羊肉串/牛肉串

Found this restaurant on my way back from Holyrood Park. Food is very authentic. Must try their dumplings. 👍🏼

Service is really friendly and the place has well earned popularity. Had the rainbow and chive dumplings were my fave. The pickled veg fish, guo bao rou, and japanese tofu were all tasty as well! Also saw many having their dry fried woks of goodness which looked sensational

Fantastic food (dumplings & noodles were both exceptional), large portion sizes, can’t wait to eat our leftovers tomorrow!

Authentic Chinese cuisine, highly recommended

Such a good wee spot. 10/10 would recommend. Amazing food and friendly staff

Надзвичайно смачні пельмені. Брала мікс. Правда, смак деяких був для мене незрозумілим. Окрім пельмешек смачна лапша. Не знаю, як вони її готують, що викликають бажання ще прийти й замовити цю лапшу.

This is a fairly straightforward Chinese eatery . It is small and well patronised by predominantly Chinese students. Might be difficult to get a table. The cooking is good, the service quite fast, the staff are friendly and it is low cost

不错. 终于又开门了. 他家的牛肉面 和国内服务区的牛肉面真的好像 爱了. 勾起了小时候的回忆哈哈哈

handmade dumpling for a good price.

Order took over an hour to be prepared by which time most of it was stone cold.

Excellent authentic dumplings (jiao zi and guo tie)

I had sweet potato noodles and duck. 🤤 The girl taking orders was very nice too!

Very authentic Chinese food. Portion was generous. I ordered Sweet & sour crispy pork, the taste was a lot above my expectation. My servers were very friendly, always came with a smile. Will definitely be back.

Amazing chinesse food! Good taste, good price and very familiar staff

Delicious dumplings — we had pork, prawn and Chinese leaves — with chicken and sweetcorn soup and lamb skewers.

Not the same place before shutdown

I popped in off the street. No booking. Every table was taken. And all the people in the place were Chinese. They gave me a table downstairs. Okay, a bit of a shame. Away from the buzzy room upstairs. But when the starter came, I knew I was in the hands of a master. Eight beautifully thin pastries with tender meat inside. Surprisingly light. But the best was yet to come. A whole sea bass. Cooked to perfection. Lovely flakey fish with incredibly tasty shredded vegetables. A light soy sauce. I will be back. And I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone. Just try and book a table upstairs.

还是没关门之前好吃。重新营业之后无论菜肴水准还是份量都明显下降。是不是换厨子了？确实有点失望。

Thought I knew Chinese food until I came here. Not a dumpling fan previously but these were special. The prawn and pork griddle pot was full of individual flavours, truly tantelises the taste buds. Staff so friendly and great service.

The best Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh!!

Was here 3 weeks back. Food was amazing especially the dumplings. Portions were great. Update Dec 2022 - apparently this place is closed for good now - shame if true.

Restaurant is good and tasty. Had takeaway. The flavours and quality is good but thinking dumplings aren’t great as takeaway unless they reach you fast.

We visited for lunch and the dumplings were excellent. We'll go back to try more flavours. Reasonably quick service and staff were pleasant.

Authentic Chinese restaurant with mostly Chinese customers so that tells you something. Amazing food. We had shredded chilli beef, something like Kung Po chicken and dumplings. All very large portions so don't over order. Very quick if you need more.

pork doesn't have that weird awful pork smell like in most places in the UK (only a teeny hint)... ie. the haoshao rou braised pork was decent & certainly hit the spot - not like the best ever but very good for Scotland lol. I recommend ordering it 'cause it takes quite a bit of effort to make at home haha... Pork bok choi dumplings were nice. Veg dish was fine, like home cooking, could use more seasoning - giant portion though. Tbh I rarely find the experience of dining out here satisfactory (often pricey & very average) but this place made me glad to eat out - Would come back again. Simple but nice

Amazing dumplings and great service

Great authentic food, very tasty...the people and staff are incredibly nice and friendly.....5 stars from my side

Excellent food and great service

Delicious, authentic Chinese dishes. Friendly, efficient service. Highly recommend this place!

My girlfriend and I had two portions of egg fried rice and shared Griddle Cooked Mix Vegetables. It was 10 pound each in the end. Honestly, it was delicious. the Griddle pot spice was perfect. It was the kind of delicious spicy that only authentic Chinese food captures. I miss eating it even now.

What a taste, delicate and definitely yummy, and not only the dumplings experience. Extremely clean, friendly and nice. We came two night before to leave and was so good that we did again the last dinner. Should have one here in Bologna, can go quite every day. So yummy and real Chinese taste. P.S. only place I saw in UK where the toilet shining…so you can have your consideration. I will not post too many pictures because can’t wait too much to eat such delicious food. Promise as Terminator “I’ll be back”!

Muy agradables y la comida muy buena.

Really enjoyed our meal here. I'm not a big fan of dumplings but there's lots of other things to choose from. My partner loves them though and said the ones here were excellent. I had the beef chow mein which was also very nice. I would definitely come here again.

已经吃了三次了，真的非常好吃😋菜量也不小，每次两个人三个菜吃的非常饱！价格也非常合适，自己不愿意做饭的话甚至可以把这家店当食堂😂
