This is our O’Connell Street store. The little 30sqm that started it all for us. The heart of where it all began and the store I have the most emotional ties to.To be frank we are unsure where the future of this store is headed.My heart is telling me to fight on and keep it alive.I’ve always listened to my heart.We are going to open on the 3rd of December until Xmas holidays for everyone in town.I will man this store myself.If this is your local Sumthin Dumplin joint, come by and say hi. I would really appreciate it.

Happy Saturday!Our lunch rush is between 12pm -1pm.
Our dinner rush is between 6:30-7:30pm.There MAY be a small wait, regardless of how you order between these hours. We are limited by the fact that we make these fresh, on the spot.We have close to 20 staff on, throughout.Our goal for today is to have our website online for the entire day and to pick up as many phone calls as possible. We will smash out every order, as fast as we can.Lasgooooooo!

Finally catching a breather, I think we’ve found our pace @ Botany. Coming home before midnight and having enough food to sustain night trade. I shit you not, my mum has been coming home close to midnight since last Friday. More than proud, name another business owner in her 50’s with this kind of energy.The goal this week is gonna be family focused. Earlier finishes and putting daughter to bed, at least thrice.Thank you everyone for the support. We feel overwhelmed by the number of familiar faces who come in, whether @sumthindumplin or @blendcafenz.Be it a sophisticated sit down experience at the cafe or Sumthin hard’ n’ fast on our basketball court. We will, deliver a level of customer experience that is truly worth raving about.Pic: Beef n Cheese with Sumthin Chilli and Sriracha Mayo.

Thank you everyone for the immense support at our Botany branch.We apologise for the missed phone calls, the longer wait times, the on and off of our website and even the order mix ups.It is a new team we are trying to establish.As we find our way in this new store, we have a few clear goals and it starts with being able to operate right through to night trade.Both a thank you very much to everyone in the community and also an apology for the inconveniences.This is Victoria, the sister in our family. Busy yes. Late nights yes. Do we love it? Hell yeah!

We used to chase girls and thrills. Now the only chasing we do is after our wives and kids. Boys for almost 20 years. They say it’s difficult to do business with friends. We’ve been doing business on and off for almost 10. I remember nervously buying my first house off David a decade ago. I remember David nervously selling it to me hahaha. Follow our new cafe journey @blendcafenz headed by none other than Garam, David’s wife as she blends modern Korean cuisine and Kiwi cafe culture together!

Aug 10

You asked, we deliver! This Friday we’ll be delivering out East and at none other than the location of our new East store!! (Opposite Kmart) You know the drill - slide in our DMs to order asap to avoid missing out. See you soon!
