Let me start by saying that I’ve never had a tofu dish wow me, until visiting here! My husband and I stopped in last week and ordered the Kung Pao Tofu, vegetable fried rice, vegetable chow mein and the vegetable dumplings. The service was very quick, all the food was good, but the kung pao tofu was incredible! The depth of flavor they were able to pack in the tofu is out of this world and the texture was nice and firm/crispy. I will 100% be coming back again and again for this tofu dish. I may even try some of the others, like the honey glazed tofu. If you’re in the area, you should definitely stop by.
This place is always busy but the food here is so good that it feels like it's just you and the food in the entire restaurant. I got the orange chicken, chicken chou mein, and soup dumplings for the first time. I had a shirley temple to drink. I ate almost all my food in one setting, made sure to take the left overs home for breakfast too. but the proportions of everything is well worth what I spent. Yum. The employees made me feel like royalty.
Dumpling Inn is one of my favorite places for Chinese food in Convoy. The service is fast, I can usually get a table, and the food is delicious. Some of my favorite dumplings to order are the pork pan fried pot stickers and the pork soup dumplings. My favorite entrees are the Kung Pao chicken, the Hot and Sour Soup, the Green Bean Fish with Black Bean Sauce and the Garlic Baked Fish Filet. I have also ordered sides of the garlic green beans, this is my favorite. I want to explore more of the menu, I will definitely be back for more. If you still are hungry afterwards, I like to go to Boba Bar next door for some ice cream or boba.
Happy my daughter and I found this place. Yum yum dim sum. Noodles and more. Tasty. Nice atmosphere. Lots of beers, spirits and mixed drinks. I will definitely be coming back to this place.

Excellent choice for our large party of 12. No reservations though-when I called they advised they do reservations for large ģroups. Once we arrived for lunch, at 11, they had our table ready quickly. Because we were a party of 12, it seemed like we ordered 1 of everything. The food was tastey and the service was delish tt
The food was great, it was just too hot in the place to eat warm hot food. But that’s just me, I like to eat in AC. Food is awesome though!
We originally were going to Kura Sushi next door but they had a 2.5 hour wait so we decided to try the Dumpling Inn. It was busy and also had a 25 minute wait but the three of us were able to get seats at the bar immediately. The bartenders were extremely helpful and nice. They gave us good descriptions and took the time to talk to us even though it was very busy. The dumplings were fantastic 😋, we also got pot stickers. We are waiting for our deluxe rice and orange 🍊 chicken 🐔. Also, a quick tip. The potstickers and dumplings come out pretty fast were as entrees take longer. So if you're hungry do a few orders of those first.
It's busy here. We were lucky to get a table immediately. After i day Dien, i looked back at the entrance there were 3 groups waiting to get a table. The dumplings are really good especially the soup dumpling. The inside of the soup dumpling is piping hot. The pot stickers wrappers are not thick at all unlike other restaurants. The fried noodles is very good too. Overall, i am very happy to have dined here.
If the Dumpling Inn was actually a hotel, I would stay here every time I visited San Diego.
Local craft beer on tap, fantastic daily happy hour deals, and delicious food.
Everything was amazing, but highly recommend the Fish dumplings. It's like biting into a little slice of heaven.
Shawn behind the bar was as attentive as he is conversational and artistic. Excellent service to an 8 top and provided a fantastic experience.
Will definitely be back!
My husband and I stumbled over to this place after being told by Kura it was a 3 hour wait for two people. So glad we did! It was delicious!! The food was fresh and hot and the service was great. We couldn't really talk to each other because it was so loud but overall we both felt like it's an amazing place! Will be back for sure!
