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!

Really enjoyed the dinner here. We had a group of 4 and shared a few dumpling dishes to start. The pork and chive dumplings were amazing! Parking is a little tight as this area is very congested. There is a parking complex behind the restaurant that charges $2/hr. I had the Chinese sausage fried rice and really enjoyed my meal. The food comes out very fast! Order drinks and apps first before main courses.

Really good. My family and I visited on a random Saturday night. It was a very pleasant surprise. Very nice atmosphere, food was superb and the service was great. We got seated quickly, and enjoyed the great selection of beers they had to offer. There's a nice bar with TVs located around which they showed college football. Kid friendly as well.

I think I am safely going to jump the gun and give this place 5 stars. I've tried so little, but I want to come back and try much more! I sampled a couple things and already got full, but I could smell everything around me and it's smelled great. Glancing at other tables I could see how appetizing everything looked, matching the aroma throughout the restaurant. The popular XLB, soup dumplings with pork were a good change of pace to the familiar dumpling. The beef curry dumplings were delicious as well as the pickled cucumber salad; simple but tasty. 3 bucks extra you can get the spicy soup and it's a great deal, flavorful and it's quite large so you can share. The place always seems to be busy, but it didn't take us long at all to find a table and order. Free parking is usually limited but they have a paid structure near the restaurant. I’ve passed this place up for years going to other restaurants, but I am glad that I finally chose this place to test. Next visit we will get full on meals and try the other options on the menu and I could only assume the food gets better from there.

The place is nice and clean and has a good atmosphere. The dumpling were good. Definitely like them more than the XLBs. I just felt the XLB dough was too soft and the inside felt like it was boiled for too long. If you are a ginger fan they give you plenty of fresh ginger which is a plus. Drinks were also okay.

This place is fantastic! We decided to give this restaurant a try tonight and it was amazing. Dumplings were so good. Seriously the best food I've had in a long time. Try the lamb chow mein. The most tender lamb I've ever had...and flavor was out of this world.

Best Chinese and Asian food in San Diego. Great price, fresh and quality ingredients and huge portions! Orange chicken is made with real chicken tender meat and great flavor, large shrimp for honey shrimp. Was so stuffed we wanted to try cashew chicken which looked so great coming out of kitchen but we were stuffed. Going to be back very soon.
