Dumpling Social

Best Known For

Crispy Peking duck, steamed pancakes, hoisin sauce and cucumber.

For contemporary Chinese cuisine in a stylish setting, Canberra locals head to Dumpling Social on Bradley Street in Phillip. Located in Westfield Woden, a brick façade with red accents and potted plants beckons diners into a light, bright interior of blond wood table settings, tiled floors and framed posters. Settle in at the front window and people watch while sipping a glass of sparkling sake and peruse a tempting menu from dumplings to signature dishes, perhaps starting your culinary adventure with cheeseburger spring rolls with Wagyu beef, American cheese and pickles. Be enticed by twice-cooked sticky pork belly, ginger caramel, palm sugar and herb salad, or slow-cooked beef cheek, fennel, pickled mustard root and bean sprouts. Finish sweetly with mango panna cotta and kaffir lime.
