    Been coming here for around 10 years now. The food has always been great and the service very good. The previous manager Yong (who passed away R.I.P.) and his wife Shelly were fantastic. This has been continued by the current management especially Jin. Staff come and go as you would expect with uni students, but we have always been looked after , brought many friends and family and have enjoyed our food especially the pan fried dumplings and the Mongolian beef...yum..

    We went to this place for the Peking duck. They serve the duck differently, The whole duck were shaved onto a plate in the kitchen, not infront of customers. The pancakes and salad were served separately like other Peking ducks. The wonton soup, vegetable dumpling, stir fried Long beans and fried rice were equally flavoursome ! We were pleasantly happy with the meal!

    Can’t count how many times we’ve come back here for their delicious Peking Duck and pork dumplings! S&P calamari and fried rice/noodles dishes are also our go-to. The staff are always so lovely and attentive which is a huge plus☺️ (you don’t get that often from Chinese restaurants lol)

    I attended a birthday dinner on Friday night and the food was picked up from Dumpling King. Unfortunately it was even worse as a takeaway, the sweet and sour chicken was almost entirely batter and the Beijing shredded eggplant was incredibly oily. The chicken in the chicken cashew nut was very poor quality tasting also. Will not be back Original review We went to Dumpling King last night for dinner and were very disappointed. Having visited Box Hill once before and been quite pleasantly surprised I had expected much better then this. We started by ordering a variety of dumplings, prawn, beef and chicken as well as two serves of spring rolls. The prawn dumplings were my choice and when they arrived, luckily I cut into them as they were steaming hot. That’s when I realised they didn’t look like prawn and queried it with staff. I’m not sure how but they had misunderstood our order as pork. As a non pork eater I can’t tell you how much this frustrates me and how regularly it happens that I receive something with pork in it that’s either not in the description or in this case was pure error/misunderstanding. The actual prawn dumplings themselves took an eon to arrive and when they did weren’t much chop. I even found a prawn tail inside. Surprising for a place professing to be the king of dumplings. Main wise we ordered the honey chicken. This we couldn’t actually see on the menu but it duly arrived after it was ordered. I guess it’s a staple of westernised Chinese food. The best dish was definitely the satay chicken albeit the pineapple within definitely tasted canned and the dish itself was quite small relative to the honey chicken. I enjoyed the vegetarian noodles too but overall we weren’t particularly impressed

    Great place for traditional Chinese. Dumplings were amazing, Peking duck pancakes, crispy beef and lemon chicken were all on point.

    Was a great experience came in just before noon with no booking for a group of 8 staff were able to arrange a table quickly. We were fortunate as the restaurant quickly filled up. Very attentive staff with great attention to detail, offered prawn crackers for the children, made sure cups of tea were always full with the mention of being careful with them being hot. Food came out in a timely manner and was presented well, seasoned to eat (may be a tad salty for some) many of their dishes if eaten with white rice are perfectly seasoned. Peking Duck and dunplings selections are a must try.

    If your coming here I recommend you try the dumpling share plate where you get 5 pieces of each set 5 beef pork chicken and vegetables. The sweet n sour soup was too sour compared to other places

    First time here. Busy place. We got in early so managed to get a table. The Spicy Won Ton, Singapore Noodle and Fried rice were good. Not so good; Seafood fried dumplings (too blend) and Cantonese beef (too sweet). Service was excellent. Not the best dumplings place around and not the cheapest but I gave it a 4 stars because of the overall experience. Worth a try.

    Bloody delicious. I forgot to take these pics when the food arrived as I was starving. The wonton spicy soup was incredible. Packed with so much flavour, not just chilli. Green beans with pork some of the best I've ever had, not greasy like most do. Pan fried pork dumplings solid. Super quick attentive service. Very well priced.

    It is literally what it says on the tin: dumpling king. All we ordered was great, abundant, tasty. This is my new favorite dumpling spot in box hill.

    Came here because our usual dumpling place DC dumplings was closed for renovations. Straight off the bat the dumplings and food missed the mark for us in comparison to DC dumplings. Prices are also higher here with less quantity of dumplings. The only dish that we thought was good was the sweet and sour pork. Couldn't fault that. The interior and plates and cutlery are nice though if that matters to you. Although the food here didn't satisfy the service was top notch.

    I have been coming to dumpling king for years and have often raved about how good the food is. However, it seems that in the last few months the quality of the food has gone downhill. We came for dinner a few months ago and had to ask if the owners had changed, as we noticed some of the dishes were not the same as they usually are. Apparently it was the same owners as it always had been. So we decided to try again to see whether it was just an off night. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was still not the same. The pan fried dumplings were not crispy whatsoever and the Shanghai fried noodles had a strange curry powder like flavour with an odd aftertaste. I have since read in another review that the previous manager unfortunately passed away about a year ago which may explain the change in quality. The xiaolongbao was quite nice and the honey chicken saved the dinner from being very disappointing. Despite the service always being excellent, it's not worth another try and I'm on the hunt for a new go to place in Box Hill.

    Went in for dinner with high hopes. We were greeted by lovely staff and shown to our table. We ordered some entrees and mains to share. The pan fried pork dumplings were good but there are better around. The boiled chicken okay and only one of the xiaolongbao had soup inside. The pork buns were bland. The mains provided us with nothing but disappointment. The 2 noodle dishes could only be described as oily and tasteless. Becoming only bearable to eat when soy sauce and chilli oil was added. The fried rice was… fine. The only dish I would get again would be the pan fried dumplings although I will never have them again because I will never be back.

    First time there, pleasantly surprised at the quality of food and service. Despite its name, they offer a great variety of dishes as well that are also very tasty. Will definitely go back.
