About Munchy Monk

Tucked down a quiet Northbridge alley off William Street, Munchy Monk dishes out handmade dumplings without the Roe Street queues. The calling card: hamburger dumplings—crisp potstickers packing seasoned beef and tangy burger sauce. Diners seeking plant-based plates find an equally serious spread, from steamed vegetarian dumplings to rice sticks and spring rolls. Between bites, slurp bowls of Sichuan Dan Dan noodles tossed with chili oil, sesame dressing, and fresh cucumber strips.

  • Hamburger Dumplings: Crisp potstickers stuffed with seasoned beef and paired with house burger dipping sauce.
  • Dedicated Vegan Menu: Substantial plant-based menu featuring dedicated vegetarian dumplings, rice cakes, and wontons.
  • Dan Dan Noodles: Sichuan noodles loaded with pork mince, chili oil, sesame sauce, pickled greens, and fresh cucumber.
  • Alleyway Retreat: An intimate alleyway counter off William Street offering relaxed off-peak dining and homestyle hospitality.

  • Extensive Vegan & Vegetarian Variety

    A broad, dedicated selection of plant-based dumplings and street foods makes group dining effortless for vegans and vegetarians.

    What truly sets them apart, though, is their incredible array of **vegan options**. It's not just an afterthought; there are so many delicious plant-based choices, making it a dream come true for vegans and anyone looking for fantastic meat-free alternatives.

  • Inclusive Group Feasts

    Diverse offerings allow plant-based diners and omnivores to share hearty wontons, dumplings, and street dishes together seamlessly.

    Honestly my whole group were so blown away by the flavours and the diversity of foods. We especially loved the wontons and the tteok-bokki!

  • Intimate 'Grandma's Place' Warmth

    A cozy, intimate venue with minimal staff gives diners a warm, home-cooked feel reminiscent of eating at grandma's house.

    There are literally two staff in the place at once rather than a ton of people which adds to the sort of “sit down and let me serve you” kind of atmosphere you’d get at grandma’s place.

  • Homely Care & Thoughtful Service

    Genuine, attentive hospitality and hands-on owners make guests feel cared for, whether celebrating special moments or dropping in casually.

    The food was amazing, so warm and homely. The hamburger potstickers are a must have. And to top it all off the service was amazing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there good vegan and vegetarian options?

Yes. The kitchen offers a broad selection of plant-based dishes, including vegetarian dumplings, wontons, Dan Dan noodles, shallot pancakes, and tteok-bokki, rather than just a single token choice.

How are the portion sizes for dumplings?

Portion sizes range from 7-piece small plates to 10-piece large plates, alongside hearty bowls of Dan Dan noodles. If you arrive hungry, opting for the larger plate or pairing dumplings with noodles is recommended.

Can you get dumplings during late afternoon off-peak hours?

Yes, they serve through the mid-afternoon around 2:00 PM or 3:00 PM when many nearby lunch spots close, running from 11:30 AM until 9:00 PM or 10:00 PM Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays).

Is the restaurant suitable for large groups?

The space is quite compact with limited seating and run by a small team, meaning large groups of ten may take up much of the dining area and peak takeout or delivery rushes can lengthen wait times.
