What a cute little hole in a wall on the side of a shopping centre that delivers. I woke up this morning craving dumplings and what a nice surprise it was to discover this place not too far away. I loved the quiet atmosphere of the place and there was a lovely breeze coming through the door. Food was fresh and fast (but not too fast- you know the right amount of time that you know it was cooked not microwaved). Think I'll definitely be coming back when my next craving hits, next time ill bring friends to share more dishes.

The cafe greeted me with a “closed” sign on a wide-open door - turns out the staff simply forgot to flip it. Fair enough.
Communication was a bit tricky — it’s a Chinese kitchen, and the staff’s English was limited. Normally, you’d expect numbered dishes or a bilingual menu to help, but that wasn’t the case here.
At first, there was no music — then they turned it on briefly, only to turn it off again. It left the space feeling awkwardly quiet, like they hadn’t decided whether they wanted ambiance or not.
Food arrived fast — the wontons were on my table within 10 minutes, and I have to say, the wontons and pan-fried dumplings were genuinely tasty but then first major issue - no napkins. Not on tables, not near the sauces.
Then... the problems started floating up — quite literally. With the door wide open and no insect screen, flies were buzzing in, and I found a moth swimming in the soy sauce. The floors were visibly dirty, as the tea cups, and although I’d love to believe the kitchen is a different story but experience says otherwise. It was also uncomfortably warm inside, despite a breeze from the street.
No one cleared my table for over 30 minutes. When I pointed out the moth to the smiling staff member, she simply apologized - with a big, cheerful smile.
It’s clear they focus more on takeaway than dine-in, which might explain some of the oversight - but doesn’t excuse it.
And while some might cheekily call the moth a source of extra protein, in reality, it’s a serious health concern - one that blurs the line between quirky and a visit from the health department.
Probably won't be back

I don’t often rate food, but this place deserves it.
We got takeaway and sat right outside the restaurant, not expecting my 4 kids to eat much since they are picky and turn their noses up at everything, my husband and I couldn’t believe how much they ate! They absolutely loved the food, It was so delicious.
Everything that we ate made us say wow.
We are 9 times out of 10 disappointed with the food we receive when dining out, but honestly we can’t fault this place. The beef melts in your mouth and the hand pulled noodles are soft and chewy 🤤
The buns are soft and full of flavour, dumplings hit in all the right places, the spring rolls actually have filling inside, not just empty pastry like most places, the spicy peanut sauce was unbelievable.
We will 100% be returning.

Worth the 45 minutes drive. Can’t fault the food. Tasty and delicious. Went back for second. Don’t judge the shop. It’s small and cosy. Service is fast and food comes out at the right temperature. Love love, love the combination of the spicy peanut sauce with the pork prawn wontons 🥰 so filling. Definitely walk out of the shop satisfied

I recently dined at Tiger Dumpling House and it was an absolute delight! The dumplings were not only incredibly delicious but also showcased the authentic flavors that make this place stand out. The staff's warmth and enthusiasm added to the overall positive experience. Despite the occasional wait due to its popularity, the fact that it's always bustling speaks volumes about its reputation. A bit of patience is a small price to pay for the fantastic flavors that await. The prices are quite reasonable; my family of three left not only fully satisfied but also impressed by the affordability. We'll definitely be making frequent visits to indulge in these delectable dumplings. Highly recommended!
