Smiling Dumplings & Noodles is a colourful dispensary of fun, fresh and authentic Chinese delights, sizzling and steaming everything from xiao long bao (soup dumplings) to slurp-worthy bowls of Shanghai-style spicy noodles.

Hailing from Sydney, the popular dumpling dispensary dishes up a range of Chinese eats using age-old recipes steeped in tradition. You won’t find sweet-and-sour pork on the menu and there’s not a bain-marie in sight. Instead, you can devour steaming-hot baskets of handmade chicken-and-prawn siu mai, pillow-soft char-siu pork buns, prawn har gow, and xiao long bao (traditional soup dumplings), all made from scratch on site.

There’s also a range of authentic noodle dishes, fried rice, and grilled-to-order skewers, as well as sweets like cream-filled mango pancakes.
