This place is a true hole-in-the-wall gem with excellent dumplings. We walked in without big expectations, but it turned out to be well worth the stop. When we arrived, four groups were already waiting for their orders, and you can actually see the team hand-making dumplings in the back, which adds to the charm.
We ordered four fried three-delicacy dumplings and four steamed pork-and-cabbage dumplings with chili on top. Every bite was delicious. It’s an easy recommendation for anyone in Auckland who’s craving dumplings and doesn’t mind a simple, no-frills spot that focuses on great food.

Little Tiger Dumpling is hands-down our absolute favourite dumpling spot! We’re regulars and always order the chicken & corn pan-fried dumplings—they’re incredible. Juicy, perfectly balanced, and that hint of sweetness from the corn pairs so beautifully with their chilli oil, vinegar, and all the other dipping sauces.
The service is always friendly and welcoming, and the chef is genuinely kind and attentive. Every visit feels like a treat.
10/10 recommend to anyone who loves dumplings done right! 🥟✨

Simple and straightforward menu. Fried rice and dumplings were a perfect combo. They have a different fried rice on promo for each day. I came on a Wednesday and it was the seafood fried rice.

It was our first night in New Zealand and just wanted something quick and delicious.
Little Tiger was perfect. Small menu but everything great. And done quickly.
We had the Fried Chicken and Corn and the Tofu Dumplings and an order of Chicken Friend rice. My favorite may have been the Tofu Dumplings, the texture of the filling was like ground meat and so tasty.
The chef was super friendly and made sure we had all the sauces and utensils we needed.
