Dumpling Monkey

Dumpling Monkey has been a Partick fixture since 2013, establishing itself as one of Glasgow's most-cited destinations for handmade dumplings. The tiny dining room — around twenty seats on bench-style tables — fills quickly, and takeaway orders are popular for the same reason. Signature items include the Special Dumplings filled with pork, king prawns and chives, alongside pork-and-Chinese-leaves versions; a portion of ten starts at around £5, served boiled or as pot-stickers. The menu extends to noodles and fried rice, but the dumplings are the draw. No-frills décor and honest pricing have made it a favourite with both students from the nearby university and food-conscious Partick residents who know it for what it is: Glasgow's most reliable dumpling kitchen.
