“ My daughter recommended this place for a quick meal. We ordered lot's of differemt dishes and for me the stand out dish was the cucumber salad. Crunchy, spicy, tasty. I'm not joking it really was delicious, and to confirm, I'm not a vegan. All washed down with jasmine tea. Definitely be back for more. ”
“ Don’t understand all the recent negative reviews. Have been coming to Dumpling Monkey for years and went again today, the food is consistently good. Comes out quickly and is always hot and fresh. The restaurant environment is very casual and you order at the till, so I don’t know what people are expecting! but the food is very reasonably priced and delicious. Would recommend to anyone! ”
“ Excellent little place for fast Chinese food that is extremely tasty and the portions are really generous. Most dishes are between 7 and 8 so it's great value for money too. If you are sitting in, the space is pretty tight so it's a case of order, eat and leave. Not too much time to sit around after your food. All round a great little place for tasty Chinese food. ”
“ A small , no frills , small restaurant with very decent chinese food. The dumplings are authentic and tasty. The prices are very reasonable for the area. The place is clean and efficiently run although it's a little cramped. It's well worth a visit. ”
“ A fantastic small cafe with authentic and most importantly, delicious Chinese food. The titular dumplings are by far the best I have ever tasted but I have never been disappointed by anything I've ordered from here. The staff are always very welcoming, helpful and friendly and the service is unbelievably fast. Prices are extremely reasonable even for students. One of the best if not THE best place to eat in Glasgow. You have to go visit. ”
