Ah dumplings, those delicious little parcels we just can’t get enough of. Lucky for us, dumpling dens are popping up all over the Valley where you can dunk, dip and dive into dumpling heaven. We dare you to read our list of the Valley’s best dumplings without drooling everywhere!
Fat Dumpling
Poached, steamed or fried, you have to try them all and Fat Dumpling is cooking up all sorts of mouth-watering creations. Some of the tasty flavour combos include poached chicken and asparagus, steamed pork and Chinese cabbage and pan-fried vegetarian dumplings. You'll find them located at 368 Brunswick Street.
Nonbei Sake Bar and BBQ
Nestled amongst shopfronts of the bustling Ann Street, Nonbei Sake Bar and BBQ is another notable member of the Asian restaurants that call the Valley home. Nonbei is a Japanese Izakaya Yakiniku restaurant, meaning traditional Japanese fare is their specialty. If you’re set on dumplings, you can’t go wrong with the Nonbei Gyoza- pan-fried pork dumplings.

Golden Palace Chinese Restaurant
A Chinatown mall institution, Golden Palace was one of the first restaurants to introduce Yum Cha to Brisbane. The spacious restaurant is adorned with antiquated décor and offers a large range of authentic Hong Kong cuisine.
