A popular restaurant in Adelaide's China Town. Simple dishes. We always buy their dumplings, which are a great value feast. We love the busy atmosphere, the hot tea waiting on the table, and the simple menu. It is our favourite location in Adelaide to visit as a family. More

Very cheap and cheeful dumpling place in Adelaide's Chinatown. Prices are ridiculously cheap and serves are huge. Three of us go reguarly and stuff ourselves silly for about $15 a head. Don't get me wrong - service is very basic, plates are plastic and often have dishwater left on, atmosphere is like a good court, but you don't go here... More

We love Dumpling King. It is very cheap with dishes $8-$12 for a very decent serving. Soups, Dumplings, Rice, Noodles etc. The dumplings are delicious - we like the fried pork dumplings, very tasty. You can also purchase frozen dumplings to take home and cook if you want. We have been to both the Chinatown restaurant and the King William... More

Excellent value for money! Food is fantastic and the atmosphere is unique. Great for groups of people, you can order lots of different dishes and it will still be very cheap! Very fresh as well. More

There is no doubt Dumpling King is not going to win any awards for fantastic decor, service or cutting edge and high flying ingredients. However, for a cheap and delicious meal in the Central Markets its probably hard to go past. The Peking Pork Dumplings are completely delicious and at less than $9.00 for 15 pieces I am not sure...

At $8.80 for 10 dumplings and bottomless chilli sauce and tea, you can't really go wrong. service is fine, can't expect too much when you're paying very little. More

The atmosphere is pretty bad. It is unclean and dirty. The food is pretty average and cheap but the service is slow and the waiters never look very happy. More

Ok so the service is always average but for a plate of good dumplings it's a cheap meal out with free Chinese tea and condiments...it's a winner! Try the pumpkin cakes too, small mouthful of goodness right there:) More
