Dumplings N More

Some of the best dumplings you’ll ever lay your tongue on in San Diego. I know I didn’t say “eyes” but your taste buds are more important here. If you don’t like the food, you may have got it to go. It’s always better to dine in here and don’t order take out. It almost ruins the experience… all dumplings are meant to be devoured fairly hot & fresh. Also the cold dishes here are fantastic, and have them with a refreshing cold beer.

Dumplings N More turned out to be a delightful surprise for my Chinese cuisine cravings. Their Dan Dan noodles and dumplings have become my absolute favorites; the flavors are spot on. What’s even better is the reasonable prices, making it a great value for the quality of food. I have to give Dumplings N More a solid 4/5 for consistently delivering delicious Chinese dishes at such an affordable price. It’s a hidden gem that’s now one of my top choices for satisfying my Chinese food cravings.

Absolutely enchanting! Dumplings and More in San Diego's charming Hillcrest area is an absolute gem. From the moment I stepped in, I was transported to a culinary paradise. The aroma alone was enough to set my taste buds dancing in anticipation. The dumplings, oh, the dumplings! Each delicate parcel of delight was a testament to the skill and passion of the chefs. The fusion of flavors and textures was a symphony on my palate, leaving me utterly speechless. The ambiance, cozy and inviting, only heightened the entire experience. This is no ordinary dining establishment; it's a journey through the artistry of dumplings. Five stars don't even begin to capture the brilliance of Dumplings and More.

A vegetarian friendly restaurant that offers almost every dumpling or dim sum with a vegan or vegetarian alternative. I was especially pleased with the spicy wonton and the vegetarian meatball soup, as those two dishes were excellent. Not too expensive and good portion sizes make this a good place for dining parties of all sizes.

Can't rave enough about this place!! Who doesn't want to see their food prepared? I am not big on Chinese food because we Americans really know how to screw it up. But left to those with rich history in cuisine it is stellar. The name dumplings and more couldn't sound more American but the "more" let's you know that there's an inside joke telling you to hold on to your seat. The soups have that same satisfying depth that your Grandma understands and not only are the noodles just as fresh tasting as the dumplings but the size of the bowls are awe inspiring. I ordered the shrimp and preserved cabbage that gave me a chicken noodle soup buzz with the flavor of seafood and the Braised Pork Soup came as Braised Beef Soup with an apology from the chef (not sure what that was about), but I didn't miss it. It tasted similar to an au jus with plenty of jus. The Dim Sum combo was like a steamed basket of fireworks, delectable and toothy. I almost didn't get a pic of them because they went so fast. I also ordered the picked radish and they were a win with as simple crunchy dish. Kinda like a box of popcorn at a movie but sweet. The staff was friendly and fast as well. The only side eye was the bathroom. It could use some TLC, especially the door which you are forced to touch going in and out. Not too appetizing. The look of the restaurant is quaint and unassuming. They really don't need to decorate to tempt you to try the dumplings once you see them being made. This is a must try for your family and anyone you have visiting from out of town. It does not disappoint and would for sure impress even the most bourgeoisie of foodies. That is if they truly are a foodie.
