Chinese Dumplings

What is Chinese Dumplings? Occupying a modest storefront along St. Clair Avenue West in Wychwood, Chinese Dumplings is a no-frills, family-run fixture dedicated to scratch-made Northern Chinese comfort cooking. The dining room keeps things functional and straightforward with understated lighting, simple four-top tables, and zero pretense, catering equally to casual dine-in guests and a steady stream of neighbourhood takeout regulars.

Chinese Dumplings Menu & What to Order The kitchen excels at handmade dumplings, particularly the pan-fried pork and chive dumplings that arrive with crackling, golden lacy skirts. Branch out to the fragrant cumin beef, juicy fried lamb dumplings, or the smoky BBQ pork fried rice loaded with generous cuts of char siu. Vegetarians can eat well with the mixed vegetable dumplings, crisp Chinese broccoli in garlic sauce, and stir-fried eggplant with green peppers.

Know Before You Go Reservations are unnecessary here; tables turn around quickly, and walk-ins are seated promptly even during Friday and Saturday dinner rushes. The restaurant sits steps from the Christie stop on the 512 St. Clair streetcar line, with paid Green P street parking along the avenue. Keep in mind the restaurant closes on Tuesdays and serves from noon until 10:00 p.m. every other day of the week.
