Lovely Chinese and delivered within the hour of ordering to our caravan near Aberystwyth. Ordered the chicken & mushroom soup and my fiancé had the chicken & noodle soup, both very tasty! We then had the delux starter along with prawn balls in bbq sauce which we both shared a single portion: Unfortunately we couldn’t eat our mains as the food was very plentiful and ended up eating the main meals namely the special curry and chicken chow mein the next day which was very nice.

Decided to order whilst staying at Aber Bay caravan park. Rang early to order for a specified time which was spot on. Food was plentiful and delicious. The foo yung was light as a feather. If I was a local I would order from here every time.

The staff at hot dumplings are always super friendly, I got a free slice of watermelon while I waited for my food 🥰 I always get vegan options there and the meals are always outstanding! The only place in Aberystwyth where I can get tasty tofu 😍

We found this place by chance whilst on holiday and decided to give it a go. We had crispy duck for starters which was a huge disappointment. The duck was dry and had never been crispy, the pancakes had mould in them and the cucumber and onion had seem better days. Our main was a mixed bag, my husband’s special chow menu was tasty however my chicken in peking sauce was not nice at all. I ordered a mushroom fried rice which was nice. If I lived here, would I go again. No, sorry I wouldn’t. Take away food is a treat and this was no treat.

I was so excited to try out the new vegan set meal for two and I was with my friends who can vouch for me that I ordered a vegan one. I got delivered a meat one and when I called to say it's wrong they told me it was entirely my fault because I didn't say vegan, which is untrue, I am completely cetrain I did, I am vegan so I cant even eat the food I paid £20 for, its going to waste now. In the end they told me they can give me a vegan one for half the price, but insisted that it is just this one time and that is all my fault. I am extremely disappointed, I love the food, its great, however I am not happy with the costumer service at all.

We have been visiting hot dumplings since we moved to the area 6 years ago. We have always had amazing food from there, all the dishes are excellent. We have used them more often recently and have never ever had a bad meal from there. There range of Salt and Chilli dishes are incredible !!! (Especially the Chips and Chicken) The dumplings are home made and are just so nice. They also have a range of special dishes like Sea Spicy Beef/Salt and Chilli Combination and others so the choices are excellent. All the food is cooked and prepared fresh and tastes delicious, I highly recommend them

I've been getting takeaways from here for 3 years now and it's my favourite, I've tried a lot of Chinese food. This is a great chow mein and amazing spring rolls. I love the free fortune cookies and the salt and chilli chicken is so tasty. Very reasonably priced so it's an all round good experience and amazing food. Could not recommend more!

Went off google reviews as to why I ordered here when we was on holiday. What a waste of money. Had a beef curry which the sauce looked pink and had jelly at the top as if they are batch cooked and frozen. It lacked taste and was pretty much inedible. Also had salt and chilli chicken which was just full of salt. The chips were soggy and overcooked. Waste of money... by far the worst Chinese I’ve ever had. Avoid!

We visit Hot Dumplings once a month as our treat meaning we have visited 60 times so far. The food is always excellent, freshly cooked while you wait. Unlike some restaurants of similar caliber Hot Dumplings food is neither too garlicky nor over seasoned. I absolutely adore their pancake rolls (with meat), their squid and their King prawn with cashew nut. . . . Oh my word, I am drooling just thinking about it! I highly recommend Hot Dumplings whether you are a visitor to Aberystwyth or a resident in the area. 100%

After receiving a delivery menu through the door we thought we’d give Hot Dumplings a chance. We decided to give this place a go instead of our usual Saturday evening Chinese takeaway. The delivery charge of £5 on top was a bit more expensive but since we had a menu we will give it a try. It arrived by courier after 45mins and when I plated up I noticed that the moorish takeaway smell was missing. Prawns chewy & far to fishy( did not eat) shredded beef insipid and tough. Chips floppy and raw. Curry sauce clotted and lumpy.special chow mein anything but special. We Couldn’t eat it because we didn’t want to be I’ll. The bill was £33-£35 with tip and was refunded £17. Such a shame as really looking forward to it.☹️

Have been a massive fan of Hot Dumplings for years but I heard a rumour that the previous owners may have left? I’ve tried it twice in the last month and both times the food has not been good. The ribs are cooked to within an inch of their life and what should be simple noodle dishes are beyond oily and incredibly salty, I like salty food but this was ridiculous and the amount of oil was insane. Also the taste of everything was different so something has definitely changed. So disappointed. The food here was out of this world!! So on that note, so long Hot Dumplings it’s been emotional.

We use Hot Dumpling regularly for takeaways and deliveries, and we've never felt let down. The choice of food is good, is always cooked fresh to order and tastes really good. the delivery service is fantastic. You'll always get an honest view on how long the food will take and it's pretty accurate, which is rare for others.

Whenever I feel like a Chinese in Aberystwyth this is the standard go to takeaway.The meals always taste more authentic than your typical Chinese takeaway and the price is reasonable too. If you are ever unsure what to order, try the Salt and Chilli squids (88, £5.50); it's priced like a main but won't disappoint.I decided to go here for Chinese New Year 2016. I was going to have it delivered but I couldn't justify the deliver charge of £4 for the 2.4 mile (5 min) trip. They said they would have my order ready at any time if I wanted to collect myself, so I went for this option. I could make my own rice so ordered a starter of small BBQ ribs in Peking sauce (10a, £3.60) and a main of Panang red Beef curry (205, £5.00).The main was some what disappointing even though I had heard recommendations for their Thai meals in the past. The beef was tender and the ribs nicely flavoured, but the main was unauthentic, creamy in colour with no hint of red and tasted quite bland. Although the sauce was thick, there was almost no spice, and rather than having a creamy coconut taste the numerous chunks of pineapple over-powered the dish.I would have rated Hot Dumplings lower based on this dish and their food hygiene ratings being 2 last year, but I have enjoyed many a meal from here in the past and they do go some way to explaining their poor food hygiene ratings. I would still recommend this Chinese takeaway over the others, but I would avoid the Thai dishes.

We've been regular clients of Hot Dumplings for several years now and cannot rate them highly enough. The food is always of a very high standard, tempura batter light and crisp and never greasy, sauces very tasty and their Thai dishes are especially good. The service is always friendly and helpful, and delivery service (within 4 miles) very handy. The only problem is that if we're away and have to get a takeaway anywhere else - it's never as good!!!

Reviews talked this place up. They were friendly but the rating of "2" by the food standards agency should have warned me. Meal tasted OK, if a bit too heavy on source - and fried egg with chow mein? Felt unwell after going to bed.

Me and my mom had chicken and beef curry with noodles chips. You do have to wait a lityle bit but you cant go out of the shop if you want or there is magazines and newspapers in there you can read while waiting. When me and my dad went we went to the shop and then comr back and it was done. The shop is only down the road from Hot Dumplings. Hope you enjoy your meal.

Have previously been loyal to another Chinese takeway in town but have recently felt left down by the service and standard of food served up, so decided to try the Hot Dumplings out after a couple of drinks in Harrys (nearby, decent place for a drink). The food we ordered was very good, fresh, good portions, well presented and tasty. It was all ready on time and overall you couldnt fault it. We'll use this place again.

I order from here frequently and the food is consistent . Always fresh, hot and full of flavour . I always seem to struggle to choose as the choice is so good and I have never been disappointed . Always more than enough sized portions and the only time I've had issue with salt content is when I've literally over eaten and stuffed myself. Great food and great staff .

Had a couple of meals from here in the past month, the thai red curry was good but not quite as hot as expected, and my pepper beef was really nice but a touch on the salty side. The veg in our dishes was cooked to perfection, and my non-Chinese eating husband has actually started angling for us to go back so he can have what I had last time. It was recommended to us and I'd have to agree about the very good staff. We don't eat takeaway as a rule as some of the other places in Aber trade off making second rate food because of the student market (An owner of one of the Indians has actually said to me that they do smaller portions and not to the same standard in Aber as their other restaurants because of the students, so this isn't make believe), but this is somewhere we'd definitely go back to.

Arrived on time and I got what I ordered- trouble was it bore very little resemblance to what I'd previously had (I'm sad, I have the same every time!). Chips were half the portion I've had before (for the same price) and greasy, rice was (as others have said) more salt than anything, and the crispy shredded beef was inedible- limp and chewy with barely any sauce at all. It has always previously been covered in a bright red sticky sauce and served with a few onions but this time it was an off brown with a watery pink gloop in the bottom of the tray and drowning in undercooked onions. I would have taken it back but I'd had a drink and didn't want to drive. They are closed on Tuesdays and I'm not keeping it any longer to show them. So disappointed but it really was so awful I won't be going back. It wasn't truly terrible but in relation to what I've had before I'd rather they really hadn't bothered turning up.

I'd love to know when laurafoody1 was there as I had the same experience there. I eat out a lot with my job and never have I ever had a more salty meal than here. Real big shame as the front of the shop looks well kept and invites you in. The food was hot and well presented. Fair priced for a working person, but what with a university just up the road I guess that most students would only use this take away once a month.. I would use it again, however if the food was as salty as last time I would be heading back for a full refund and head elsewhere.

Went here for a takeaway whilst on holiday in the area. Chose this takeaway after seeing all the positive reviews on trip advisor and the fact it had a 5* hygiene rating. The food was hot and prepared quickly, average prices but I've never tasted such salty food from a Chinese before. Our mouths were tingling because of this, we had to leave most of it and drank loads of water after. Wouldn't return again ever.

This was our last night holiday dinner treat to ourselves. We took advice from previous vacationers and rang our order through. The food was hot and there was plenty of it. Hubby enjoyed his main dish where as I didn't. I had sweet n sour chicken Hong Kong style, it had the post perculiar taste. Although the egg fried was more than enough for 2 people I did struggle to find any egg in it.
