This place was my lunchtime refuge during work this summer past. The staff are beyond welcoming, it felt like a home away from home. It’s more than just food (do yourself a favour and ask for the pork dumplings) ; it’s a feeling of being taken care of, like they’ve saved a seat for you at their table.

Had a quick craving fix on Hong Kong food in this cosy and friendly shop. Ordered wonton noodles, mala dried noodles and pan fried pork dumpling. All food served fresh and hot, and the dumplings are freshly pan fried. Everything is good and the service is great too!

Hot soup and dumplings on a cold day is the perfect combo. There's not a lot of space inside but it should fit groups of 4 okay. Suggest the spicy dumplings. It's not that spicy but has great flavors.

Excellent! It costs more if you order several dishes, but if you only order one, it's reasonably priced. The food is very good. I recommend !

Dumpling Queen is a hidden gem in Edinburgh - a small restaurant that's big on flavor! The chicken cheese bowl and chicken curry bowl are standout dishes that are sure to satisfy. And the wanton noodles are simply superb! If you're ever in Edinburgh, make sure to add Dumpling Queen to your list of must-visit spots - you won't be disappointed!"

I tried the "Tan Tan noodle" today and it's super delicious. The portion is very generous as well. It may not taste the same as the traditional "Sichuan" style but it's the modified style that you'll find in Hong Kong. Definitely love it:)
