Mandu Dumplings - Frankton New Zealand

Strongly recommend this place to you! If you are looking for a nice cuppa of delicious hot chicken soup that's the place to go! And OMG these dumplings (pork, chicken, beef, lamb and even vegetariaaan! you can get a combo with soup at a very good price!

Authentic dumplings I tried the pork prawn dumplings and chicken corn soup for dinner. They were both very good although the dumplings were a little on the bland side and could have done with some more prawn. Great that there was black vinegar and chilli oil available for you to make an authentic dipping sauce.

Good selection of dumplings, noodles and a handful of steamed buns. As per most dumpling shops, dumplings were pre-made but were cooked (steamed or pan fried) to order. Some delays waiting for the order to be delivered, but it was the Christmas vacation period and as such, busy. No complaints on the flavours of the dumplings.

Loveeee the vegetarian dumplings! They have a lot of different options as well. The staff were really friendly and let us watch them prepare the food. Also I left my jumper there and they held onto it for ab 2 weeks until my friend went back to get it!

So this place is a bit of a gem, actually. It's not much to look at, and I saw a few people speaking English with foreign accents that struggled to make themselves understood, BUT, if you get past all that, their dumplings really are, truly delicious. The soups didn't have much flavour, so if I went back, I'd stick to 60 dumplings instead!
