I Love Dumplings - What to look for - Chinese Near Me - Kensington, VIC

If you're looking for a good hangover cure, then I Love Dumplings is for you! On a grey and gloomy Sunday, with a horrific headache and that awful gut churn that only one (or five) too many cocktails can give you, I found myself pulling up a chair here. The steamed vegetable dumplings are good, as are the stir fried greens, however the stand out for me was the vegetarian hot chilli soup. It had just enough kick whomp my hangover in the ass, and enough vegetables to fill my grumbly belly. It was just right! The other people I was with had things also. I don't know what they were, because until I got my soup I was too busy dying a slow painful death. I'm sure it was good though. Lunch time on a Sunday was pretty calm, however I can only imagine that Friday and Saturday nights would be pretty crazy. read more

Don't order this on uber eats, they accept way too many orders than they're capable of putting out and we waited for over two ours with no replies from the store. read more

Very Solid 3..Asian eats proved to be among the surest bets for a good meal you could find in many parts of AU, and in the great city of MELB in particular, and the eponymous house specialty here proved to be no exception. The dumplings were plump and the skins had just the right consistency and snap to them when bitten into. All of the fillings we sampled, chicken and prawn, classic pork and leek, and spicy lamb, were flavorful and exceptionally fresh tasting. Also extremely fresh were the greens with oyster sauce and the beers were nice and cold. The price proved reasonable, especially so by this cities standards. Overall, pretty pretty good. read more

I first discovered "I Love Dumplings" (the restaurant, not a statement) when they were in their smaller premises a few doors up from where they are now - and all I've ever had there are the dumplings, and they were great! With such great food, expansion into larger premises is always a temptation and I've been back a couple of times since their move to where they are now. I've still enjoyed both times, but felt that it wasn't quite as good as it was before - the larger space kinda detracts from the atmosphere and the dumplings weren't quite as good as they used to be; some were a bit overcooked (almost burnt) on one side and not quite cooked on the other. I know that's sort of how that's supposed to be - but not quite like that. With the larger premises comes more customers, but ordering another dish was a feat to try to catch staff's eye and then the wait for the order was a fair while. The same for ordering extra drinks. Can't comment on dishes other than the dumplings. read more

Would definitely recommend I Love Dumplings' veggie dumplings with Sichuan hot chili! So good!

The food is good, fresh and very affordable. The wine list is not good at all but they do allow BYO and there is a bottle shop across the road. The service is brisk, unfriendly and it is not uncommon to be ignored by the staff. I still go semi-regularly for good dumplings at good prices but I would not plan to come here for a special occasion or with guests. read more

Dumplings are delicious and come in different sorts to choose from. Great value. With Chinese decor that seems to transport one back in time to the Ming Dynasty, it's a great place for a night out with some friends. read more

Used to be really good, but has gone down hill in the last 12 months. Ordered steamed bbq pork buns and they were dry, overcooked and chewy. Ended up only taking one bite. Prawn dumplings taste like frozen ones heated up. Bland and the dumpling skin was rubbery. One good thing is the Szechuan sauce, although it too isn't as good as it used to be. read more

I've ordered a lot of take away from here. All the meals are delicious with some really unusual options for the adventurous. I've also eaten in their CBD store. My kids love the dumplings and the staff are super friendly. Dishes taste authentic and the prices are right for me. My favourite dish is the pickled cabbage with pork spare ribs and rice! read more
