Noodles 'n ' Dumplings

These are some of the best dumplings I’ve ever tasted. I’ve dined at numerous places in Wellington, Palmerston North, Auckland, and Napier, and these surpass any I’ve had elsewhere. The chili sauce is fantastic, and the portions for the rice and noodle dishes are huge—enough to easily share between two people. I’ll definitely keep coming back here!

The dumplings had a delicious filling, packed with meat, but the dough was a bit dense and overall a touch too oily. The beef noodle soup was aromatic and robust, which I really enjoyed. The handmade noodles were nice and chewy, and the beef slices were tender, although I would have liked a few more slices. The soup portion was quite small, but it was very flavorful with plenty of toppings. The standout dish of the meal was definitely the pancakes, which were generously filled and quite moist. The dough was dense and well-seasoned overall. The service was excellent, with genuinely friendly and joyful staff. They even provided us with extra beef broth!

I ordered the duck dish, dumplings, and stir-fried vegetables. The duck was absolutely delicious, but I was disappointed with both the vegetables and the dumplings. Given the restaurant's name, I expected the dumplings to be bursting with flavor. I had heard great things from multiple friends, so maybe I just had an off experience. The staff were very friendly, but I did notice the lack of background music.

I never knew this place existed so close to home! Probably lucky as I would be twice my size if I had!  Noodles and dumplings is on the Square tucked in by Trumps, my brother’s girlfriend recommended it otherwise I would never have known. . The five of us ordered:. 2x leek pork steamed dumplings

Favourite Asian restaurant in palmy, most their dishes quite authentic, their handmade pork and leek dumplings are by far the best I've had from a restaurant in New Zealand very flavourful. I always order the same thing each time I go and my partner likes to mix and match but he loves it too. Friendly service and relatively fast!
