小扬生煎 Little Yum Dumpling Northcote - Dumpling Restaurants in Auckland, New Zealand

It’s once of those hidden gems. No fancy set up/decor, just delicious food, great price point and simple yet friendly service.

I ordered fried buns and prawn & pork wonton soup. Both of them are so delicious. Fried buns are tasty and juicy. The portion of prawn & pork wonton is quite good. The wonton itself is tasty and soft, love it.

A tiny shop with very traditional Chinese dishes. Special on fried buns and noodle. Very yummy food with reasonable price. The environment inside the shop is not that welcoming. Only 12 seats available in the whole shop. The door of the shop can't really close properly and so it's windy while enjoying the hot food.

We ordered a combo ???????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????????? + ???????????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????? I said “wow” after my first bite of the bun, cos it’s hot and so delicious! There’s literally soup inside the bun and full of meat! The bun itself is so crispy and covered by lots of white and black sesames. It’s not salty enough to me but you can dig the bun into vinegar for more flavour. ( I wished there’s spicy paste ) The curry beef soup is alright. Good for winter Next time I want to try cheese prawn bun. We went at lunchtime.The store is not so big so all the tables were taken. If you want to go, please pick a non-peak time.

Little hidden hole in the wall not great atmosphere but great food. Delicious wonton soup ( best we've tried here), plenty of flavor to the filing and nicely filled wontons too. Soup base is good too. Note it's "authentic" good rather than "Western Fusion adapted good", ie texture is amazing, but you might not enjoy if you're not used to dried shrimp etc in the soup. Xiao long bao are enjoyable and definitely above average for NZ, but another local restaurant's was better, so didn't live up to the best in NZ claim for us. Was also accidentally put in a takeaway container which detracted from appearance, but the flavor, size and fullness of xiao long bao, along with the heat (was not as piping hot as other places) was the real let down. Definitely still good, but certainly not the best. Pork and vege baos were decent comfort food. Overall really enjoyed lunch here and much prefer this store's mix of selection( baos/dumpling/soup). Will return to try out other items for sure. Highly recommended. Just don't believe the best Xiaolongbao marketing.

Authentic Shanghainese flavor. The wonton fillings are even tastier than most of those you can buy in Shanghai these days. It’s my homesick go-to place.
