I Love Dumplings - Richmond

Food was good. Service was not so good. One of those places where they get you in and get you out as quick as they can.

Food great, service good. Prefer not to sit upstairs next to the toilet, but overall happy. Decor in the upstairs area could also use a little love.

Quite noisy Great food - just came to the table in a strange order and not what we asked for. Big chairs so hard to have a conversation at a table for 8. Plenty of food in each serve.

It is great value for a cheap night out. Very quick turn around on food coming out of the kitchen. BYO. No frills, but a nice setting

Love this place, have been many times and the dumplings are the best. The only downside is, it is always very noisy and makes conversation a challenge!

Food was quite tasty but service haphazard. One pot of jasmine tea and no refills for 5 people! Food came in fits and starts and the first people served had finished before the last received her meal (party of 6)

The food at I Love Dumplings never disappoints. Good portions, good quality and a lot of variety to choose from. Always packed which is a good sign.

I booked a table for 8pm however the people before us were still occupying until 8:15 but the wait wasn’t too bad. We had to wave down for service but the staff were very attentive and helpful. The restaurant is very busy so might need more staff to account for all the patrons. The food is amazing! Loved the dumplings and fried rice.

Always a tasty meal and great value for money. The service was good. The chicken and prawn dumpling were a real stand out and i also liked the special fried rice.

I went for a work lunch with a group of work colleagues and everyone found the service and quality of the dumplings to be lovely.

Had the steamed pork dumplings which were Incredible for a great price. Service was reasonably friendly but everyone's dishes came out about 10 minutes apart.

great food and great place. would definitely recommend the dumplings

My favourite dumpling restaurant, such good value! Heaps of variety in a nice setting. I have taken many people here over the past 5 or so years and no one is ever hungry or disappointed by the end of the meal!

The food is always excellent, and the prices are exceptional. The service leaves a lot to be desired at times however it is easily put aside as I can not live without their fried eggplant or seafood dumplings!

by far my favorite restaurant in Melbourne. love this place

Tasty and authentic food at a great price. Efficient service although not overall friendly but easy to overlook this when the food is so good.

I had a great birthday with wonderful food, friendly staff and quick service. I would recommend I love dumplings Richmond to my friends and family!

They have the best dumplings in Melbourne. the port and prawn in Sichuan chilli was the best ive ever had in Melbourne. great food and service

It’s a good restaurant with Quality food at a reasonable price. I do suggest you stagger your ordering as the food comes quickly. Also good is that It’s BYO and also licensed.

The dumplings here are great. Nice and fresh and they come out quickly. The service is abrupt but they always get your order right so no complaints here.

Fast, delicious, cheap! What more could you ask for! The staff are all smiles and willing to provide suggestions! Oh & it’s BYO wine = winning!

the restaurant was really nice and the food was excellent. the dumplings were the best in Melbourne that I have ever tasted. had a good time

Quick simple and easy. I love dumplings always have delicious food for a good price. Three of us are our full and had a bottle of wine for $30 a head.

Great tasting food. Extensive menu. friendly and efficient service. The restaurant can get very noisy when there is a full house. Great overall dining experience.

This place always has great tasting and fresh food along with fast service. There are lots of options for vegetarians which is a huge plus.

A local favorite that never lets me down! Calamari is a must as well as the pan fried chicken and prawn dumplings and xiao long bao ! Fantastic value.

The food here is authentic and full of flavour. The only 4 complaints I have. 1. Couldn't grant me a requested table when I booked. 2. Chairs are big and cumbersome and are awkward to eat out of. 3. The only green dish, Beans arrived last and late. 4. Water glasses came warm from the dish washer but did provide me ice when requested.

Great food quick service. Great prices. The staff could be a bit more attentive but you expect this service anyway. I Highly recommend going here

Busy lunchtime on a Thursday at 12:45pm and they didn't have any dumplings except for seafood or chicken and prawn. Pretty poor for a dumpling shop!

Food always delicious, good price. Atmosphere can be quite noisy, but when the place is booked out every night you can understand why!

The food was very very good everyone loved this scored high. However, the service staff need to lift their game. Do they get penalty rates? They did not smile, the table was not cleared regularly, they lack attention to our table of 7. We had to ask for tea to be topped up. We felt ignored, One of the service staff started to empty some dishes behind the bar area she was so loud we could not hear ourselves speak. I had to ask her to be quieter. We were a group of 7 mature women I had booked for 8, I asked if the last table could be removed so we could be seated closer and one person sitting at the end of the long table could not hear. This could have been accommodated by the staff as the restaurant with easy but they refused, given we were the only ones at that end this should not have been a problem. A very disappointing experience expect the good food made up for this. Regards

Definitely better eating in than take away. Can’t go wrong with any of the dumplings

I love this place and the food. Very hustle bustle, but 90 min allocation on Friday night is not long enough, would prefer 2 hours

The food was very quick to arrive after the order. The staff were very friendly and quick to bring wine glasses for our BYO. There was a nice atmosphere in the restaurant.

The food is very tasty and very cost effective but the service is poor. We go here often but we go for the cheap food. Not the service!

Super busy and service was quite poor. We were seated upstairs and it was hard to get a waiters attention. Food was average which was a shock and there were hairs in the stirfry. Not impressed and probably won't be back for a while.

delicious as always. The Szechuan dumplings are a must! Great wine for a decent price and excellent for a big group. Service is quick and friendly. We will be back!

Delicious as always. Food is great and comes out quick, service is friendly and very helpful. One of my favourites in Richmond that's why I keep going back!

Fabulous place, yummy food, good vibe, quick service, fun to share dumplings with others. Awesome & very busy so need to book, enjoy with friends

Always good! A great cheap meal and never been disappointed with the dumplings. There where 6 of use and we left extremely full and only cost us $15 each. Well worth going in

Really good food and nice staff. However was a bit unlucky to be sat right next to two big tables which were part of a function, they were very loud and was hard to hear anything we were saying.

My fav dumplings in Melbourne. The seafood ones. Are to die for! You also must try the fried eggplant. I dream about my dinners here 🤤

Amazing, food, fast service and great atmospher, you can bring your own wine! It is really important to book in advance though, because if you don't you will end up waiting a while. Best dumplings in Melbourne though

The service was quite poor, we were placed upstairs and it was freezing, we asked if they could put the heating on and it seemed a big ask. Our waiter was not very attentitive to our table we were always having to call him over. When we got served our initial dishes of dumplings and had to ask several times for little bowls to place our soy sauce in and contstantly call our waiter over for more drinks/food etc.

Amazing, the food was great like always. We were seated on time and service was great. We will be returning for another big group event in the future

Dumplings here are always very good. I regularly visit here for a cheap, filling dinner prior to going to a sporting event. Service was quick.

We had a booking at 9pm on Saturday night. When we arrived they said they close at 10pm. Would have been better if this was highlighted on booking. Let me assure you when they say 10 they mean staff out the door by 10 latest. Kitchen stopped just after 930pm and credit card payment had to be made by 955pm. Don't take 9pm bookings if this is usual 'service'!!

Food was delicious. Of course the dumplings were a standout. Hard to get someone to serve us though!! Only 2 wait staff for a full restaurant.

Eggplant carrot and coriander dish so so delicious, vegetarian dumplings only about a 6/10 but atmosphere and friendliness of the staff made up for it!

The food at I Love Dumplings is great and reasonably priced. The booking confirmation was a little tricky and the service is a challenging at times. I return because the food is good and if you expect the service to be a little off and have patience, it's a great night. BYO is a bonus too.
