Description
The Drunk Dumpling sits tucked away up a staircase on King Street in Newtown, home to a Michelin-starred chef from Hong Kong who built the menu around inventive, modern takes on dumplings, moving well past a traditional dim sum format. Fried and steamed dumplings anchor the menu alongside crispy eggplant, tofu bao, fried rice and other modern Asian dishes, with vegan options genuinely built into the range from the start. A cocktail menu designed around the Chinese zodiac gives the drinks list its own identity, paired with a wine list for anyone after something less playful. The dining room runs low-lit and stylish, with a private dining room available for bookings and groups, and duck pancakes and horoscope-themed dumpling selections are regularly recommended to first-time visitors. Trading seven days from early afternoon into late evening, the restaurant combines serious dumpling craft with a lively bar atmosphere, and since it isn't listed on standard third-party booking platforms, calling ahead directly is the way to secure a table. The stairwell entrance and low lighting give the space a slightly hidden, speakeasy feel once inside, despite sitting right on Newtown's busy King Street strip. Gluten-free options run through parts of the menu too, giving the kitchen genuine range beyond its signature dumpling offering.
