The Rolling Pin Wynyard Quarter

I visited The Rolling Pin today for lunch and opted for the Buddha Vegan Dumplings. At $16 for six pieces, I found them a bit pricey given their size. The taste was average, and I felt the accompanying sauces could have been more flavorful to enhance the overall experience. However, the staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly, which added a positive touch to the visit. While the service was commendable, I believe there’s room for improvement in the dish’s flavor profile and value for money

These were the best vegan dumplings I’ve ever had! The service and atmosphere were very welcoming, making it a pure pleasure even when dining alone. The Buddha’s Delight Dumplings were incredibly delicious and juicy. I’ll definitely be coming back! Today 07.01.2025 was my last visit to this location as I’m leaving New Zealand. I treated myself to two meals—one for now and one for tomorrow. For the first time, I tried the vegan version of Beijing Zha Jiang. Oh my days, how delicious was that! Super soft, a mix of incredibly tasty ingredients—I even had to double-check if it was really vegan. Simply amazing! 10/5 stars! The staff is also super sweet, and I really enjoyed coming here. Thank you for this unforgettable experience. I’ll do my best to recreate this recipe at home!

Quick, fast, exceptional food with many vegan options. I highly recommend the dumplings and noodle salad. I think I’ve been here 6 times in 2 weeks and here for 1 more week. Must try!

I was excited to try this place near to my new workplace, I did have a quick look at reviews and most looked positive and at a 4.7 out of 5 review score, I had decent expectations. However, I was so disappointed. I got the penang dumplings, the dumpling wrapper was thick and gluggy, the filling was minimal but what was there was bland. It was also freezing cold, maybe I missed something and they are supposed to be cold? I am so disappointed, $18 for that was a waste of money. The slaw was nice though. I threw most of it in the bin. I won't be back.

Whenever I travel to Auckland, I end up eating here multiple times. I think their vegan dumplings rival anyone’s.

Good value, delicious and healthy. If I lived around here I’d get this often. Nice tables to sit outside at if the weather is nice. Was prepared very quickly and friendly service. I got the sichuan beef bowl, spicy. I like quite spicy food and the spicy was enough for me.

What a taste sensation. And healthy option for take away. We are from Melbourne being food snobs, we were super impressed by The Rolling Pin. Had the dumplings and slaw Tsingtao. The dumplings were full of flavour and filling. Also had the Noodle Salad Bowl Sichuan option. This was my favourite. Beef was tender and the mix of fresh vegetables went together perfectly.
