Nanjing Dumpling 小金陵

Haymarket dumpling fiends are fiercely loyal to this bustling Chinatown fixture. Nanjing Dumpling 小金陵 delivers unapologetically rich, comforting Chinese fare—fast, affordable, and deeply satisfying. Those in the loop skip the usual suspects and head straight for the handmade Xiao Long Bao. Expect remarkably delicate wrappers giving way to a glorious, piping-hot rush of savory broth—the signature crab and pork is stellar, while the black truffle iteration packs an intensely fragrant punch. Craving crunch? The pan-fried beef guotie boast a flawless, golden-crisp bottom. Round out the feast with silky soy chicken, punchy Dan Dan noodles slicked in chili oil, or a steaming bowl of sliced beef vermicelli soup. A masterclass in authentic comfort food—the ultimate fix when that Sydney chill hits.
