Best Dumplings in Auckland! cheap as chips, about $12 for 20 dumplings, way too many for one, great for sharing or leftovers (however they do use polystyrene containers so best to eat there). The address attached will take you to the hub of some fantastic Asian cuisine, open very late 11pm + which is very rare in Auckland, and lots of great cheap eats to choose from. There is also a fantastic cinema there that show quality films and have craft beer on tap! Note there is a closer Barilla Dumplings (10 minutes walk from home) but it doesn't have the same street atmosphere. It is at 303/305 Dominion Rd
