The restaurant’s calming atmosphere, adorned with forest-green accents and bamboo steaming basket lanterns, invites you to indulge in the intricate craftsmanship of their signature handmade dumplings. Each dumpling boasts a unique blend of fresh ingredients meticulously wrapped within the delicate dough. From the harmonious pairing of prawns and chives to the rich flavor of pork and cabbage, every bite is a testament to Dimples Dumpling House’s unwavering attention to detail.

Beyond Dim Sum

While the dim sum takes center stage, Dimples Dumpling House’s culinary repertoire expands beyond Guangdong. The restaurant embraces the revered gastronomy of Japan with their steaming bowls of ramen. With silky noodles, soul-warming broth, and carefully curated toppings, Dimples Dumpling House showcases the multifaceted beauty of Asian cuisine.

Complementing the dim sum and ramen offerings, an array of Asian-inspired appetizers graces the menu, featuring edamame beans, cucumber salad, steamed bao buns, gochu chicken wings, and stir-fried wok dishes.

Two Locations for Communal Dining

In 2021, Dimples Dumpling House expanded its dim sum empire, launching a Kenilworth branch on Myrtle Road. Both locations uphold the essence of communal dining, an integral component of dim sum’s allure. As you savor each bite-sized creation, take a moment to immerse yourself in the convivial atmosphere that envelops the dining experience.
