I love pan fried dumplings, and when I ordered them at the Chubby Dumpling, I knew I was having a great day. Wonderful service, excellent food, fantastic location: I can't wait to return and try more of the menu! It was the perfect lunch on a fantastic day. read more

My daughter and I had just finished shopping at Value Village, and we wanted to grab something quick and inexpensive before heading back to the ferry. The moment I saw the words "Chubby Dumpling" on my Yelp search, it was in immediate yes. We walked over, and it's definitely a small family run business. It's very generic looking inside. We were sat by the window, and our orders were taken quickly. In short time the two items we ordered came out: - Pork & Cabbage Dumplings: Excellent. They're plump, they're fresh, and they were delicious. I can see why they sell them frozen to take home too. - Tteokbokki (떡볶이): Very good. I can't say I'm a good judge of tteokbokki, but it was fresh, had good texture, and not overly spicy. Service is very friendly. Sometimes, the most simple food in the simple places is all I really want, and this place delivered on it. I would definitely go back to try more of their dumplings. read more

Super yummy dumplings! We tried the pork and shrimp dumplings, beef bulgolgi dumplings, and vegetable dumplings. They were all so beautifully folded and juicy. The kimchi fried rice we got was also pretty standard. We also tried the tuna kimbap which was a good portion. The service was a bit rocky i think there was a new person being trained but otherwise fine! I hope to come back! read more

Chubby Dumpling - Dumplings Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Just returned from eating at the Chubby Dumpling. I'm Korean and love dumpling soup/mondu-guk. These dumplings live up to their name - they were fat, fresh, and so damn delicious. The broth was like my Umma's! We also ordered veg bibbimbop and kimbop. Both were also excellent. We got there at 7pm and they had run out of veg dumplings, so plan your life vegetarians so you, too can enjoy chubby dumplings. My boyfriend didn't get to try the dumplings. The wait staff was on it - attentive and kind. The food came quickly. The place is a small simple restaurant with table service. Definitely get the dumplings! They are 10/10! read more

We like to do a little snacking at multiple spots when we explore and this stop did not disappoint. It is a really small operation but we didn't wait long to order or get our food. The dumplings were very fresh and had great flavor. I wish we had ordered a bit more! read more

The food here is fantastic. The service is fast and kind. The ambiance is perfect. We even got these uniquely refreshing peach drinks that really cut the heat from the food we ordered. All in all, pretty great. read more

So tasty! We got the bulgogi and pork/chive dumplings. Very tasty and fresh. Service was great -- helpful and quick!

A excellent place to have some dumplings or Korean food for lunch is Chubby Dumpling. The host was very welcoming and quickly located a place for us to sit at. We got the Tteok-bokki and some veggie dumplings. The vegetable dumplings and Tteok-bokki were both excellent. The vegetable fillings were fantastic in the dumplings. Boiled eggs, Thick noodles, Fish cakes, sesame seeds, and greens were the main ingredients of tteok-bokki, a spicy dish with some fantastic flavours. Wonderful customer service from the hosts/owners. Great and casual ambiance. I heartily recommend this location! read more

Not much to say other than the dumplings were indeed chubby, and tasty as well. Not much in the way of atmosphere but a great place for a quick bite or takeout. read more

Chubby Dumpling - Restaurant sign - Dumplings Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

This little dumpling shop serves Korean inspired food. The decor is very basic. It looks like you stepped into an IKEA shop. The weight staff is very friendly and accommodating. To me their food was just OK. Some dishes, better than others. The bowl Gokey dish was a little under flavored and the meat was so dry. There was no sauce in the dish. It did not look or taste fresh. The dumplings were made pretty decent, the rapper was cooked with a good texture. It didn't break apart like some dumpling shops. The kimchi dumpling soup was not good at all to me. The broth just tasted like hot water. There was no seasoning to it. I had to add dumpling sauce to make it more flavorful. The kimchi dumpling inside the soup was also flavorful. There was no in this dish whatsoever. Probably the worst dish of them all. I had the kimchi seafood soup and the seafood they put in. It was all frozen. You can tell because the muscles did not have shells and there was no shrimp. It was definitely spicy. And they give you a side of pickles and seaweed salad and rice.my dish was probably the most flavorful out of them all. My daughter got the tuna mayo gimbap and she thought it was good. Over all the food was not memorable, but it was decent. Just make sure not to order the dumpling kimchi soup read more

These dumplings will make you chubby because you can't have just one. Chubby Dumpling was a solid spot for dumplings in Victoria. Glad we were able to have this tasty snack, just right across from where we were staying. Located in Victoria's Chinatown area, we spotted Chubby Dumpling while walking towards the Chinatown neighborhood from our airbnb. With a name like that, who wouldn't be curious? Plus, we always have room for dumplings. We visited on a late afternoon on a Saturday, so we were the only ones dining inside. One other patron was getting takeout. Since we already had lunch, we just wanted to try their dumplings, so my partner and I shared the shrimp, pork and chive dumplings, which didn't take long to get. In addition to the dumplings, our server gave us some pickled radish to go with the dumplings and provided a vinegar-soy sauce for dipping. The dumplings were tasty! They were steamed and had a good amount of portion of pork and shrimp. For a plate, it came with eight dumplings, so was good for sharing. If you're looking for some dumplings in Victoria, then Chubby Dumpling is a solid eatery for just that. read more

Some of the best Korean dumplings we've had in a long time!!! I had the dumpling soup and my wife had the pork shrimp and chive dumplings. WOW!!! We will eat here again. The food on the other customers plates looked delicious, too. We need to try their other dishes. Well done 5 stars for sure! read more

Wonderfully fresh and fragrant. This establishment caught our eye after we had already had ramen for lunch around the corner, but we couldn't resist giving it a try! We had ordered a few items to go and they were all gone by the time we loaded up onto the Ferry to get home. All our friends enjoyed the snack and devoured them in minutes. We wish we would have gotten more for the road! The staff were so nice and accommodating, knowing we just wanted a to-go order. The restaurant itself is small, with mostly 2-tops, but I wouldn't let it's size detour you from going in person and sitting to taste through their whole menu. I hope I have the option to get back here again someday for more! read more

Great place to grab some dumplings in Victoria Chinatown! I came here on a Monday with two other people, and they were luckily open! The owners mentioned that they were usually closed on Mondays and were testing out on being open on Mondays, so I guess we lucked out! My party and I shared the pork and cabbage dumplings, which were delicious and flavorful. I got the kimchi dumpling soup, and even though the spice level was one chili pepper on the menu, it was quite spicy! (though I have a very low spice tolerance). The soup was also very filling and flavorful. The server was great and friendly, and I loved that the food and service gave a really home-ly feel. Definitely would come back if I'm in the area! read more

Absolutely delicious and very kind and friendly staff member. So glad we stopped here for food. Service was quick as well. read more

Good, solid dumplings at a reasonable price. Gotta admit I had my concerns, when at 12:30 lunchtime I was the only one in the shop. I asked the server for suggestions and he said, "Well, we're known for our dumplings." Really? So after the smarty-pants comment I ordered the combo which consisted of five dumplings and a bowl of dukbokki (sorry if I misspell). The pork and cabbage dumplings were pan-fried and super good. Some of the best I've had. Very flavorful with good chew on the dumpling. The dukbokki or tteobokki was sooo good. The rice noodle is as thick as your thumb and carries the gochujang well. A few veggies, boiled egg, and some fish cakes makes this a savory firecracker of a meal. read more

My husband and I tried the Chubby Dumpling for the first time tonight while on vacation. We tried the Bulgogi Beef, Kimchi and Pork Dumpling, Pork and Cabbage Dumpling and Dumpling Soup. Everything was really good!!! I especially liked the Bulgogi Beef and Pork and Cabbage. I was so content (happy and full) that I didn't try the soup. My husband said he loved the Bulgogi Beef and the Kimchi and Pork Dumpling a lot! He liked the Dumpling Soup best! Our order was a to go order and it was packaged great; our meal was warm and delicious !!! read more

The food is good and the service is good and the place is great, very good for lunch and the seafood soup is excellent.

The food was good and there was one specific dumpling that stood above and beyond the others which were sort of bland. I travel each week for work and have tried dumplings in many major cities so Chubby Dumpling would sit right in the middle of everything I tried. The staff is real nice and the eating area is very small so you will need to make sure you get there early if you plan to eat at the restaurant to reserve a table. read more

This is nice casual place to get some dumplings to eat for lunch/as a snack if you share them. I had the pork and cabbage dumplings and they were 7.5/10, maybe could have had more pork flavour. Staff was nice and I would come back. read more

previously stated the rumblings are indeed extremely chubby, and are deliciously good

Left feeling chubby after eating all of the great dumplings! Highly recommend if you are in search of a dumplings like we were.

Worth the stop while in Victoria. We had the beef dumplings and they were delicious. Also shared Bibimbap that was on point. Small and affordable. Clean and simple. read more

Got my order to go, the bulgogi beef dumplings were so juicy and flavorful. They did not skimp on the filling which I very much appreciated. Fast service and the staff were super nice. Would definitely go back again! read more

Delicious food, great service, nice people working there. Overall everything you would look for in a restaurant.

Highly recommend Shrimp pork & chive dumplings! Pleasant staff, clean, no frills place.

Cute little mom and pop Korean restaurant- super clean and efficient and authentic Korean food in Victoria island. Priced reasonably and they also have fun Korean shows to watch while waiting for your food to arrive read more

Great Dumplings very authentic. The staff was courteous and quick. I highly recommend for those that just love dumplings.

The food is passible, if you're willing to put up with a chef who apparently takes his playbook from the movie Big Night (i.e., no changes, substitutions or additions to the menu selections). The difference here is that this is not an Italian restaurant, and there are better examples of places where you can get dumplings or noodles in the immediate vicinity. read more

I've eaten dumplings in many cities and these are the best I've ever had. We ordered the whole shrimp w pork and chive, the pan fried pork and cabbage, and the kimchi dumpling soup . All were uniquely and distinctly flavored and all were delicious. Thought we'd have leftovers to take home but we couldn't resist eating everything we were served. Service was good even with most tables being occupied at fairly close to closing time... My only complaint is I just wish they would stay open later. read more

Little tiny restaurant which doesn't look like much when you walk by but you should never walk by ! because it's fantastic ! delicious Dumpling soup's and buns, And excellent service loved every minute of it! thank you read more

As experienced dumpling fans, we were excited to try this place out during a visit to Victoria. The dumplings were good, but nothing special. But a bigger factor for the poor rating was the horrible service, which obviously takes away from your overall experience. They were completely out of various items, on an already limited menu just at the start of a weekend dinner service, but could not handle the few customer orders that were actually being placed. The whole time we were there, only three customers came in, including us, and they could not manage to handle these orders. Will not be back and not worth the prices for either the food or the service. read more

Found this little place by accident while hunting lunch for the family and we couldn't have been happier. The fresh, handmade dumplings are delicious, the spicy noodle with fish cake very flavorful and the service friendly and helpful. The menu is not extensive, mostly dumplings and a few other dishes (worked great for the one kid who won't eat dumplings anymore), but it was delicious!!! It may have spoiled me for other dumplings so I guess we'll have to come back anytime we're in a Dumpling mood! The dumplings are juicy and flavourful enough that you can skip the dipping sauce if you want to cut down on salt. read more
