My Neighbours the Dumplings is an independently run Chinese dumpling house on Lower Clapton Road (since 2016, with a second outpost in Victoria Park). Everything is made from scratch — dumpling skins to dipping sauces — steamed, fried or Beijing-style, plus home-cooked dishes like turnip cake, crispy pork belly and steamed fish. Studio Ghibli-inspired interior with a basement cocktail bar.
