April 2026 - Food

What used to be a pretty terrible burger joint in Angel has been transformed into Summer Dumpling, a cosy restaurant doing excellent hand-made dumplings and noodles. The menu includes a range of boiled and pan-fried dumplings, including prawn & chicken dumpings; beef, cheese & potato potstickers; pork & Chinese cabbage dumplings; black truffle mushroom & bamboo shoot dumplings; and corn & cheese potstickers. 

The restaurant also includes some quirky touches to its dishes, like adding caviar-topped crisps to its prawn & fish roe dumplings. The dumplings may be the headline event but you don’t want to miss the chilled cucumber salad, sticky rice cakes or the spicy braised beef noodles. With art by local students on the walls, a great soundtrack and a relaxed vibe, it’s one all dumpling lovers need to hit up.
