Wide array of options, lovely service, easy access. Milk tea is mild, great size and not overly sweet. Boba quite firm if that’s your preference. Dumplings are stuff with a generous amount of meat. Great for a spot to stop with friends or a larger group.

Giving Dumplings N More a solid 4/5 stars! The service was super friendly and attentive, which I really appreciated, and the online ordering made everything super easy. The food was good, but a little hit-or-miss—the noodles were a little bland, and the shrimp and pork dumplings were alright. That said, the Kung Pao Bao Bun was pretty tasty, with a nice balance of flavors. Overall, it’s a good spot, but the food could use a little more punch to really stand out.

My friend and I had a good time here. The Dandan noodles and steamed pork dumplings were great! The dumplings (which are obviously the shop’s namesake) are honestly very good—juicy, perfectly cooked, and flavorful. They have a ‘buy one get one half off’ deal on their beer, meaning you can get two Sapporo or Tsingtao for $10.50 total—not bad for a restaurant. The staff are easygoing and friendly too. Definitely worth trying when you’re craving dumplings.

I tried Dumpings N More last night with my husband and baby, the whole experience was amazing. I drove by this place so many times but I always thought it was an American Chinese food place, because it was not at convoy and their name highlights dumplings. But I was totally wrong, their dumplings, wonton and XiaoLongBao probably are the most authentic and delicious in San Diego! I am very honest to say that, and they are ten times better than Din Tai Fung. Also they look amazing as well, I had the colorful dumplings with various flavors, each one is fully stuffed, the skin is thin but hold the stuffer very nicely. The colors of the dumplings are made from real food, all hand made, healthy and tasty. Xiao Long Bao totally passed my expectations, the juice inside is made of real pork jelly, so it’s not only juicy but also has that kind of sticky and flavorful taste, it is amazing. The chicken wings make my husband so satisfied, it’s very crunchy outside and juicy and tender inside, it is also very flavorful, my husband said it was even better than his fav chicken wings spot Bonchon. The spicy wonton is great as well, the sauce they used makes me think of Malatang’s sauce, I can literally dip everything in it, it is made from both sesame and peanut butter, that’s why it is very flavorful and delicious. The dessert buns are cute and yummy as well, the lava stuffer tastes so satisfying and they look very nice when you opened it. We also had a cumin lamb, but we are too full to eat a lot of that, I just had a bite, the cumin flavor is strong and there are tons of lamb inside, with the price you paid, it is very worthy. I have to come back here, this restaurant becomes top 3 Chinese restaurant in my opinion. I want to try their giant steamed bun and Tan Tan noodles the next time. Plus their service is super friendly, and the restaurant itself is clean and has welcomed atmosphere. I highly recommend you to try.

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.

Very impressed by this place! Super friendly staff. My server was from Taiwan where I studied and she recommended the lamb dumplings. It was incredible! Tasted really good, came out promptly. We also ordered crushed cucumber salad which was very tasty, the dim sum combination, it was tasty as well. Got honey walnut shrimp which was amazing and a bunch other stuff. But I can’t recommend this place enough. Everyone should go try their amazing dumplings!
