Few things bring as much joy to a table as a steaming basket of dim sum or a plate of perfectly crisped gyozas. These delicate, bite-sized parcels — whether filled with juicy pork, fragrant truffle, or crunchy vegetables — are little pockets of comfort that showcase the finesse of Asian cooking. Delhi NCR’s culinary scene has embraced them wholeheartedly, with a growing number of restaurants offering everything from traditional Cantonese-style dumplings to inventive Japanese gyozas with contemporary twists.
From rooftop dining rooms with skyline views to cozy modern bars and stylish pan-Asian spots, each restaurant brings its own take on these comforting classics.
Hikki
Located at the Eldeco Centre, Hikki is a must-try if you are looking to try one of the best gyozas in the city. While the restaurant’s menu features a limited selection of gyozas, each is as good as the others. If you want to play it safe, opt for the truffle cream and cheese gyozas, which strike the perfect balance of crispness and creaminess. The Nikkei chicken gyoza, pork gyozas, and the duck and hoisin potstickers are some other diner favourites.
Another section from Hikki’s menu that you should definitely check out is the donburi section. The mushroom takikomi gohan and teriyaki chicken donburi are highlights from the section. The classic asparagus tempura sushi and salmon and avocado sushi are no-brainers from Hikki’s menu.
For a sweet end to the meal, go for the matcha tiramisu or molten chocolate fondant.

Japonico
A brainchild of Sahil Sambi, Japonica is a contemporary Japanese bar best known for its cocktails, but the gyoza and dim sum sections are also worth checking out.
Some highlights from the section include the Belgian pork and ponzu gyoza, wild mushroom and truffle gyoza, and Cantonese-style vegetable dim sum. They also offer dim sum platters, allowing you to try a variety of dim sum dishes as well. Some other must-tries from the menu include the Japonico spicy kappa rolls, grilled oyster mushrooms, and Norwegian salmon.
Humble beginnings and the fruity legacy are two cocktails that all diners recommend, and you should try them too.

Baoshuan, The Oberoi New Delhi
At Baoshuan, The Oberoi New Delhi’s elegant rooftop Chinese restaurant helmed by Michelin-starred chef Andrew Wong, the dim sum selection is reason enough to visit. The steamed prawn and spinach dumpling with tobiko stands out for its juicy texture and delicate flavour. In contrast, the Shanghai-style pork dumpling is beautifully balanced with a ginger-infused vinegar dip. Seafood lovers should try the chilli scallop and prawn dumpling, while vegetarians can opt for the vibrant four-seasons dumpling, filled with finely seasoned vegetables.
Beyond dumplings, Baoshuan’s menu celebrates regional Chinese traditions through refined, contemporary interpretations. The Guangdong-style prawns in hot garlic sauce and Yunnan-style sliced lamb with mint and Oberoi garden herbs highlight the kitchen’s versatility and finesse.

Kampai
Cheers! That’s the Japanese translation of Kampai. If you’re heading to Kampai, be sure to dive into their dim sum and gyoza selection. The pan-fried pork gyoza is a standout: crisped to golden perfection with juicy, seasoned minced pork inside. If you prefer something vegetarian, opt for the three-mushroom and cheese gyoza—an earthy, melty combination worth trying.
From the dim sum section, highlights include the edamame and truffle oil dim sum, and prawns and garlic chive sui mai. Beyond these, make sure you explore more of Kampai’s highlights, including the black cod miso, Tan Tan ramen, and brie cheese tempura with miso fig dressing.
Don’t miss their signature cocktails like the yuzu sour and wasabi martini, among others.

Other highlights from the menu include the chicken gyoza ramen, whole red snapper, Yunnan-style duck, and nasi goreng. Don’t miss out on their desserts. The coconut caramel custard, kaffir lime ice cream and lemon tart are diner favourites.
