Why Laneway Dumplings and Momo Stands Out
Why Sydney diners seek out this hidden alleyway dumpling and momo spot
Budget-Friendly CBD Lunch
Generous portions of freshly made dumplings and momos served piping hot at prices rarely found in central Sydney.
If you’re after a quick, cheap, filling lunch without the price tag, head down Temperance Lane and make your way to this hidden gem!
Adrian Pich Convenient Takeaway Packaging
Dumpling batches are prepared and packaged rapidly in convenient takeaway containers for on-the-go city eaters.
The food is served in take away containers which is convenient.
Jacob Laws Distinct Spiced Momo Chutneys
Speciality Himalayan momos served alongside signature spiced momo sauce and house chutneys.
The momo sauce steals the show with its burst of flavour and the right amount of spice
Prajna Bhat Dumplings Paired with Drinks
A licensed counter offering pairs fresh dumpling trays with cocktails, beers, and margaritas.
The liquor licence is also a nice touch allowing you to enjoy a tasty bevy with your meal.
ThatSquidlyGuy Transporting Laneway Atmosphere
Tucked deep within Temperance Lane, the vibrant counter and alley seating feel like an authentic Asian street food stall.
Crowded laneway off George St feels very Southeast Asia. Terrific dumplings (maybe the best pork bun I have ever had), great sauce, wonderful vibe. And so cheap!
Hugh Robertson Urban Treasure Hunt Discovery
Stepping off the busy George Street thoroughfare down a hidden lane offers the fun and thrill of an urban discovery.
Finding the place is a mini treasure hunt but an interesting one nevertheless.

Pork and Chive Dumplings
I was pleasantly surprised by the texture and juiciness of the pork and chive dumplings. They were served fast and hot.
Jacob Laws Mixed Dumplings
Buonissimi i mixed dumplings, 16 pezzi per 18 dollari. I dumplings erano saporiti, speziati e molto succulenti!

ThatSquidlyGuy Chicken & Chive Dumplings
Had 16 chicken & chive dumplings a week ago for takeaway. Pretty good value- $14 is not too shabby for the CBD, and they were flavoursome!

Before you head over
Practical advice on finding the laneway spot, seating quirks, and counter service.
Locating the Alleyway Entrance
The venue sits tucked down Temperance Lane off George Street around a corner, making it easy to miss if you stick to main thoroughfares.
Timing and Wet Weather Seating
Laneway seating is minimal and exposed to the elements, so consider arriving outside peak rush hours or planning takeaway on rainy days.
Counter Ordering and Drinks Setup
Orders are taken at the counter and dispensed in convenient takeaway containers alongside available alcoholic drinks like margaritas and beer.
