Along the strip of Chinese eateries along Dominion Road, Barilla is easy to spot any day of the week. Why? The place is always heaving with people, often with queues out the door. Barilla is Auckland's worst-kept secret when it comes to the best dumplings in town.
Whether boiled, fried, or steamed, the dumplings are handmade fresh each day in a variety of mouthwatering flavours, and at wallet-happy prices too. They're especially great with everyone's favourite side dish - the French beans with spicy salt.

Always the first to come to mind whenever someone asks where to go for a good yet cheap meal. Just to get some house keeping out of the way, Barilla recently got a D rating and was featured in the paper for this controversy, it was pretty much the talk of the town for weeks because everyone was both disappointed and traumatised that their favourite place to eat had gotten such a shocking rating. However, their rating has recently gone back up to an A grade again and the world makes sense again. My favourite are the beef and cabbage dumplings and you should listen to me on this one because I have pretty much tried everything. Also the pork siu mai is to die for. D is for delicious
