Reviews Overview

Most Liked

The dumplings are the star at King Dumpling—beef and lamb varieties are particularly popular. Diners rave about the fluffy egg fried rice, perfectly cooked to complement main dishes. The restaurant’s commitment to Halal ingredients ensures peace of mind for those with dietary restrictions. The cozy, friendly atmosphere invites families and groups to enjoy their meals together, fostering a sense of community. Quick and attentive service adds to the overall positive dining experience, while the unique cutlery and decor enhance the charm of the setting. Finally, their lemon iced tea offers a refreshing drink option, rounding out the meal beautifully.

Most Disliked

Some visitors expressed dissatisfaction with the consistency of certain menu items; for instance, the fried lamb chops have disappointed some diners. While the atmosphere is welcoming, a few guests found parts of the interior to feel a bit dingy. Service can occasionally be hit or miss; some patrons reported rudeness from staff when requesting additional utensils. Miscommunication about closing times has also led to frustration for those hoping to enjoy a late meal. Lastly, although the menu boasts various delicious options, not every dish hits the mark for every guest, such as the salt and pepper chicken.

Absolute gem of a restaurant in Preston. Delicious, authentic Chinese cuisine, with a wide array of flavours and dishes. Easily in my top three places to eat of all time. I have visited over three years for my favourites- the lamb and carrot mix fried dumplings and the chicken fried rice, and the food is always consistently delicious. I’d highly recommend trying their lemon iced tea as well. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing, and the staff accommodate their customers well (the menu is fully Halal and there are vegetarian options available too). The cutlery is charming and unique, with similar decorative elements found throughout the interior. I hope to continue coming here for a long time. The location is close to the University Campus and Bus Station, so if you’re nearby, consider making a trip!

The first time I came here I got the mapo tofu, beef noodle soup and lamb and carrot steamed dumplings all of which were AMAZING!!!! 2nd time I came, I got the fried lamb chops, egg fried rice and beef dumplings which were all disappointing sadly. I would still come back as they have really good halal authentic Chinese food which is rare in preston. The interior is a bit dingy but pleasant staff.

Overall great experience: friendly staff/ chef, fast service, and tasty food that is good value. As others have mentioned the fried dumplings are a must order here. The chicken with prawns was good, dipping with the chilli oil and vinegar is tasty. Worth mentioning the food here is halal and they don’t sell pork on the premise. They can also take card payments. The chicken fried rice was pretty good too, though as some else had mentioned I would skip the salt and pepper chicken; it is a little bland on its own (but with other stuff and dipping sauce it is alright).

On Google the time says it's open until 8pm but once we reached at 7 and they said they are shutting down. We tried our luck the next time we reached a bit early. The place is always filled with foodies. Food is super duper delicious and value for money. It's fresh and made to order. We tried their signature dumplings and fried lamb racks. Absolutely loved the food and was served quickly. The only thing that disappointed me was you can either choose chopsticks or fork and when i asked for both the girl serving there sounded rude. But i can forgive that part for the delicious food they served. Must visit.

Really enjoyed the food some really unique flavours, can't wait to try more stuff on the menu. The highlight for me has to be the fluffy and addictive egg fried rice The rice was cooked perfectly, not too sticky or mushy, with each grain separated and slightly chewy. The sauteed lamb with onion was really nice too!
