    The sausage rice dish is amazing. We get it every time. The service here is. Quick business like always great. The ambience is dark, romantic, loud weekend, style dining. I picked this place above all others on convoy.

    Went here to catch up with a friend, and while the restaurant's decorations and ambiance are nice, the food was pretty lacking. Service was average, they pretty much did the bare minimum, but they were still friendly. The xiao long bao wasn't terrible, but for a place called dumpling inn, I would expect it to be the star of the show, but instead we just got some very average tasting XLB. We were able to ask for sauteed green beans even though it wasn't directly on the menu, but they were pretty good. The cashew chicken was a little salty, and it had too many other things (cashews and maybe some random radish?) in it compared to chicken. Overall, this place was fine, but it wasn't anything I'd go out of my way to go to again.

    I come here religiously with my family and friends! The service is fast and they stay consistent and quick! The alcohol is quite tasty and STRONG lol. You can have huge parties here which is why we are here so often. The food is family style, so I do suggest ordering a variety! The meat entrees do come with rice on the side. This restaurant is HUGE but the parking is doodoo. There is a parking structure nearby but this structure gets really busy. I enjoy coming here and the staff is that mixture of rudeness from the authentic Asian restaurants and that kindness of hosts and waiters who are attentive. This place can be casual but also can be dressy for a nice meal after church or for a dinner party. I have gone here for date night at the bar, and it's a perfect area due to being in convoy!

    Service was really quick and the hostess and server were both welcoming. Wish I got our server's name as she was sweet and fun. The food is decent. It was a spur of the moment decision to come here, so I think what we ordered was not bad. The chow mein was flavorful and the walnut shrimp tasted extremely fresh. I wish they gave more broccoli, but overall it was a solid 9/10. The veggie egg rolls were a bit meh, sort of an item that has potential to be really delicious if it had a bit more going on but cabbage and noodles. The interior hasn't changed over the years which I like. It's reminiscent of old times for sure. I remember the remodel, so it's nice that the structure is holding up nice. Prices of the dishes were incredibly fair. Our total was $42. Which for 2 entrees and an appetizer for 2 people is impressive in 2026. Much better than making all this at home. We didn't actually try the dumplings, but perhaps next time.

    We had a nice experience dining here recently . The restaurant aesthetic is nice and clean . The service was not the best , but it was good enough. The parking lot is small in front of the restaurant. If you can manage to find a spot there it's free for 2 hours. They also have a parking garage in the back . We paid $8 for up to 3 hours , I highly recommend their pork and shrimp wontons.

    Parking in the lot is free the first 2 hours. The parking structure in the back is not free. When we sat down, I was not impress with their menu. I expected more dumplings for their name, Dumpling Inn. The food mainly fell under drinking food. The food came out fast and I was surprised on the taste and quality. They have a lunch menu. Pickled cucumbers - to my surprised, they were not sour, pickled or taste like vinegar. Seasoning was light and refreshing. Definitely not with dark sauce. Honey glazed shrimp - meant to order honey walnut shrimp but this was our favorite. Big battered shrimp with a bit of sweet and chili sauce. Crispy pan fried noodles- the description said crispy noodles. Wrong. I was expecting pan fried crispy noodles instead it's the birds nest. The noodles did not taste stale, tons of veggies with very light brown sauce. A but bland but better than salty. Soup dumplings - The wrappings were thin, not much liquid, so it wasn't juicy but the pork was soft and semi bland. I'm okay with that once you dip. Not the best but not the worst. This place has been around for a very long time. Glad we finally stopped in but it'll be our last as there are so many others with the same concept to try. 3.5 round to 4.

    House chow mein with pork, chicken, beef and shrimp.
    Debbie W.

    We got here early - a little after 4pm when they open to beat the crowd. We ordered 4 items for 3 of us: pork fried won ton appetizers (6), wor won ton soup, house chow mein and soup dumplings. 1) The soup dumplings (10 for $15) is a must and their specialty which tasted great. Add vinegar and their chili sauce to your own liking. 2) The appetizer fried hot oil won ton was good but be careful of the peppers which is really hot. 3) The deluxe chow mein for $16.50 was great with pork, chicken beef and shrimp. It's made with their house fat noodles and they charge $4 extra for the house fat noodles. It was very tasty. 4) The wor won ton soup ($15) was very soothing included about 8 pork won tons, shrimp, pork, chicken and napa cabbage The IPA Shanghai beer was $6 (very reasonable) Prices are reasonable and comparable to other restaurants. Service was great - water kept getting refilled without asking. Food came out quickly. Go early and street parking is available. We enjoyed our meal. The location is within walking distance to several dessert places.

    11/25 - menu of alcoholic beverages
    Jennifer H.

    Updated 11/25 Dumpling Inn is my family's go to spot for birthday get togethers as they can accommodate larger parties and get the food out quickly. We love eating family style so we can eat multiple entrees and try new things. We always start with the potstickers to share. I got hosed last time being the nice guy and only ended up with one potsticker from two orders. :( For our entrees, we shared chicken chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, deluxe chow mein, honey glazed shrimp, and two ordered of beef with scallions. This was for five adults and two kids (11 & 13). We ordered five alcoholic drinks and three sodas. Our total with tip was $240 which I thought was extremely reasonable. Since we are a group of seven, we were seated in the back corner of the restaurant. Seemed to be our regular table. The restaurant opens at 4 pm for dinner so make sure that you get there early to put your name on the waitlist. Service is quick. Staff don't chit chat with you as they are hustling getting everyone situated and fed to keep moving people in and out efficiently. Since the restaurant shares is parking lot with other businesses, parking can be tricky. I parked in the back lot and paid $8.55 for two hours. The street parking is very hard to get.

    Beef Curry Dumplings

    I met up with some friends on a Thursday evening for a dumpling-filled dinner. Though it was a week night, the parking lot was filled and cars were circling the lot. However, I learned that there is a side lot where customers can park for two hours free. There is also a paid parking structure next to the lot. After securing my free parking spot, we walked into the restaurant. We were greeted readily and seated right away. It was 7PM and there were several open tables. Service was fast. We were offered drinks and shared a pot of tea. They had only jasmine, which isn't my favorite, but it was OK for what it was. I had a cocktail called Shanghai Champagne, which was a bit of a twist on a mimosa with Champagne, Lillet, lemon, honey, and grapefruit liquor. It was surprisingly good. We shared three different types of dumplings. We had the soup dumplings which were filled with pork. We had the steamed veggie dumplings and then fried beef curry dumplings. The first two were very good. They were delicate with lots of flavor. I didn't care much for the beef curry dumplings, as they were just too fried and I didn't taste much curry. We also shared the pickled radish, which was simple but refreshing. Finally, we shared the Kung Pao Chicken. It also was served fresh and hot with a lot of flavor. The ambiance was simple and not fancy. The restaurant considers itself a saloon, but it is really a restaurant that has a small, but decent bar. We spent time at the end of dinner chatting and catching up, so we were there until close, which was 9PM. It is not a late night spot for sure. All in all, Dumpling Inn is a simple, but good spot to enjoy dumplings and cocktails at the same place. I would return.

    Soup Dumplings "XLB"
    Winnie L.

    Pro-tip: Parking is complementary two hours if you can snag a spot in the lot. This is NOT your typical local Chinese fare, it's basically a sports bar. Highlights: It's a really large restaurant so there's definitely ample seating even for big groups. The food comes out pretty quickly. My dad enjoyed his duck noodles lunch set. Lowlights: I'm confused at the many reviews and high rating of this place and I wish I heeded more caution with the bad reviews that I had read because they were on par. The restaurant is this weird combination of a bar fused with Chinese food. The food is truly mediocre at best. The cha siu wonton noodle has only two flimsy cha siu pieces in it. They're supposedly signature soup dumplings XLB seriously taste worse than frozen ones - the filling is so soft, I had no idea what I was eating and the wrap just falls apart. After we sat down, it took so long for anyone to take our order or even acknowledge us even though a host lead us to our table.

    Pan fried dumplings
    Joyce L.

    Overall, found this place to be disappointing. We ordered the xiao long bao, pan fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, wonton soup, and jellyfish for an appetizer. The jellyfish was the best dish, and even that was lackluster. The dumpling skin is too thick, meat inside isn't very flavorful -- and we tried all the dumpling variations to form a full opinion. Of the dumplings, the pan fried was probably the best (probably because the oil added extra flavors). Safe to say, I am not likely to come back. Pros: plenty of seating inside. They have free parking for 2 hours. Though parking can be tight in their small lot.

    I have been wanting to try this place and the only complaint I had was parking (not to be helped it's Convoy). The food was fast and fresh and very flavorful and the cocktails were fun. It is giant inside but still come early so you don't have to wait long. I enjoyed everything and staff was on it! Fun and very yummy!

    Dumpling Inn Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Dumpling Inn

    Do they take a reservation?

    We take reservations for groups of 12 or more via email.

    I noticed a picture of a caterpillar, was that previous owners?

    Do they have a full bar or just some small drinks?

    Full bar

    Do u have a patio area with heater that can accommodate 30-40 people for lunch Feb 4 Sat or the Friday before or Monday after?

    They don't have outside seating.

    Are you open on Thanksgiving?

    we will not be open thanksgiving.

    Do you make large trays for parties/catering?

    Contact the restaurant directly to confirm availability. 4625 Convoy St… 

    Is it pet friendly?

    No outdoor seating and pretty close tables. I'd say most likely not. Didn't see a sign saying no pets but didn't see pets either.

    Do they still offer the outside seating that started because of the pandemic or is all the seating back to being inside?

    No, went for dumplings for lunch but they needed their parking back, so no more outdoor seating at the Dumpling Inn.

    Are the vegetable dumplings vegan 🌱?

    No, nor are the techniques separated

    Do they take reservation?

    According to the website, they only take reservations for parties of 8 or more.

    Do they have dan dan noodles?

    No they do not

    Is this place good for large groups, perhaps 20+?

    Yes we just did our holiday party there with 20+ you do have to sit in the back on the high top tables but the food was still awesome as usual.

    Will they be open Christmas day?

    In 2019 they were!

    Does this place have East Coast (Boston MA)Chinese? I'm craving good Chinese like I used to get at home & it's so hard to find in SD! Anyone from the East Coast knows what I'm talking about.

    I know EXACTLY what you mean. I'm from Mass. Unfortunately, Dumpling Inn isn't the place for that. In San Diego, I've found: Yummy Buffet in Point Loma and Royal Mandarin in National City. Good luck!

    What hours is dim sum served?

    They are not your traditional dim sum place, but more of a modern Chinese restaurant.

    Shan Xi Magic Kitchen has been on my Yelp Want To Go list ever since my brother and SIL told me…read morethat they really enjoyed a Chinese restaurant in Las Vegas and were told that a similar restaurant existed in San Diego. After their experience in Vegas, they tried Shan Xi themselves and glowingly talked about the delish food there. Today, 3/4s of my fam ate here and we definitely concurred with my brother and SIL's favorable assessment. 4.5 stars because their grub was amazing, but it could be more customer friendly where one of the staff checks to see if we need help ordering instead of ordering from the QR code menu. Shan Xi Magic Kitchen is located in the ultra competitive Convoy Asian District specifically on Convoy Street within the Convoy Village shopping center. The restaurant is next to our fave Asian drink place called Yun Tea, it's next to Olleh KBBQ, next door to Szechuan Chef, and a short walk to BB.Q Chicken. This is a popular strip mall, so it could be challenging for you to find parking. Parking is free for 90 minutes, but you'll have to pay after that time ends. Shan Xi is nice inside with gray brick on their walls, decorative lighting surrounded by rattan, Chinese dolls on a shelf, Chinese inspired figurine art on another wall, and a beautiful curio/screen containing Chinese knick knacks. Seating consists of tables/chairs and a long leather bench. Our servers were friendly, but to me having to order from a QR code is impersonal. I'd rather talk to a person, so that I can ask what they recommend. Plus, if diners aren't familiar with this type of cuisine, I'm sure they would have a bunch of questions. From Shan Xi Magic Kitchen's website, "Bringing the bold flavors of Northwest China to San Diego, Shan'xi Magic Kitchen serves authentic regional specialties. Our restaurants specialize in hand-pulled noodles, savory bread-based dishes, and traditional Chinese comfort food prepared with time-honored techniques." After being told that Shan Xi was similar to their positive dining experience at a different Chinese restaurant in Vegas, my brother and SIL tried Shan Xi and they were impressed by what they ate here and told us that we needed to eat here ourselves. Since my wife and I were off midweek, we invited our son to join us for lunch. We ordered the following dishes and feel free to mimick what we ordered: spicy cumin lamb burger, hand pulled noodle with cumin beef, beef magic fried rice, dry fried green beans, and a side of white rice. My brother and SIL love the lamb burger as a appetizer and we really thought it was tasty too. If you're not a spicy fan, this might not be for you, but the lamb was tender. The pita bread needed to be softer. Their hand pulled noodle with cumin beef was stellar, chewy, and delectable. Loved their beef magic fried rice and it ate really well by itself. The fried green beans were addicting, garlicky, and just yummy. I'm a fan Shan Ci and can't wait to try their other entrees. My brother and SIL were spot on with their positive reviews about Shan Xi Magic Kitchen. It was a blessing to have a spontaneous meet up with 3/4s of my fam and grub on some memorable Chinese food.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience at Tasty Malatang Chinese Cuisine was…read moredisappointing because of the customer service. According to the restaurant's posted hours, they close at 10:00 PM. My family and I arrived around 9:15 PM, expecting that we still had enough time to order dinner. As soon as we walked in, the server immediately told us they were already closed. My mother politely pointed out that the posted closing time was 10:00 PM and simply asked if the kitchen happened to close earlier than the dining room. Instead of explaining the situation professionally, the server responded in a very rude tone: "Well, you guys can eat and order, but at 10:00 PM you need to be gone and out the door." Another employee then stepped in to back him up, making the interaction feel even more uncomfortable. I completely understand how the restaurant business works. I've been around the industry long enough to know that kitchens often stop taking orders before closing or that staff are trying to finish cleaning at the end of the night. If they had simply said, "We're sorry, but our kitchen is already closed," or even, "We can still serve you, but we're finishing up for the night," we would have completely understood. There was no reason to speak to us disrespectfully. What made this experience frustrating is that we never came in with an attitude or demanded special treatment. We were polite from the moment we walked through the door. We simply asked a reasonable question based on the restaurant's posted business hours, and instead of receiving a courteous explanation, we were met with unnecessary hostility. Customer service is just as important as the food. A welcoming attitude can make guests want to return, while a rude interaction can overshadow everything else. Unfortunately, this experience left such a negative impression that I won't be returning. I also would not feel comfortable bringing my family or recommending this restaurant to friends because everyone deserves to be treated with basic respect. I hope management takes this review as constructive feedback and reminds their staff that even when it's close to closing time, a little kindness and professionalism go a long way.

Despite the crowd, the staff were absolutely amazing. They handled our order patiently and although there were so many people, it only took around 20 minutes for the dishes to arrive.

Almost melted in my mouth! Clam: (8/10) my mom's favorite dish there! Not too salty or pungent, savory, basily taste, light, and delicious! Fried tofu: (9/10) I really liked the tofu. The batter was really good and the sauce made the dish even better! Snow pea leaves sautéed in garlic: (10/10) VERY GOOD! Great vegetable choice! Fresh and saucy. Shrimp and scrambled eggs: (8/10) eggs were light and fluffy. I thought the shrimp was pretty decent but the eggs made it even better!

    Minh ky is considered one of East san diego staple asian restaurant!!! Parking is horrible. They do…read morehave a back lot behind the building but its usually packed as well. Service is always super fast and friendly. Little whole in the wall and place is pretty small so might have to wait a little. Its feels very homey, like your walking it your mom house for dinner. I always get my usually wonton noodle soup dry with the soup on the side because I never finish and can bring home. You have to get the Chinese donut, fried pork fat, and pickled papaya!!! Lemonade is delicious, juat the right amount of sweet and sour. There shaken beef has good flavor but a bit on the sweet side for me. Their soy sauce fried chicken was flavorful, crispy, tender and juicy.

    Just a no frills and solid chinese/viet fusion diner. I've heard great things but tbh when I went…read moreit was just okay. Nothing went wrong but I wouldn't go out of my way for it Chow fun: Maybe get? I love me a good chow fun and this dish satisfied my craving... but just barely. Wonton noodle soup: Getttt So comforting and yummy. The only downside is that the entire bowl only has 2 wontons so that was very disappointing especially if you share it family style Parking lot is small but it wasn't full when we went. And service was friendly but nothing fancy. Food: 7/10 Service: 6/10 Atmosphere: 6/10 Value: 6/10

    TL;DR It's really good. Go here…read more -------------- I came here after a friend recommended it when I told them I was coming down to San Diego for a day trip during my spring break from school in Orange County. I was born and raised in LA, so I've had a lot of Chinese food growing up, and I wasn't expecting to be this surprised--but I really was. I ordered the black bean eggplant and the salt and pepper chicken wings. The wings are what they're known for, but I have to start with the eggplant because it completely caught me off guard. It wasn't mushy at all--crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked on the inside, and coated in sauce without losing its texture. Every bite had depth and balance, not just saltiness. I actually meant to start with the wings, but the eggplant was so good I ended up eating half of it before even getting to them. By that point I was already getting full, but I still made sure to finish the wings--and I'm honestly excited to take the rest of the eggplant home as leftovers. By the time I got to the wings, I understood why they're popular--crispy, flavorful, and super satisfying--but what stood out to me was how both dishes complemented each other. One rich and layered, the other crisp and bright. I never got tired of eating, which honestly says a lot. I even told the staff how much I enjoyed the food and they thought I was joking, but I meant every word in saying I thought it was comparable, if not better then the food I've had in Chinatown in LA. Really glad I came here and the next time I have a chance to come back down to SD I definitely will come back here and that's not negotiable for me

    The $19.99 AYCE on social media is deceiving…read more I took my mom here so we could try this new AYCE option this place was offering based on social media influencers. It was empty coming in around 5:30pm on a Friday, but it soon filled to capacity in the next hour. So coming into it, we thought we would choose between Menu A and Menu B. Afterwards, we thought it was AYCE on the menu of your choice + the side buffet where there are limited selections of sides and refrigerated drinks. We ordered orange chicken, Chinese style fish and something else. Again, this was on the thought that we could order more than one item on our selected menu. So imagine our surprise when the bill was nearly $100 for two people? It was a misunderstanding. However, the initial staff gentlemen was completely rude about it and ignored us as we sought to understand. Finally, a second female server came and heard our concerns regarding the false advertisement and unclear messaging. She was able to provide us the price we thought this was for based on Menu selection. All in all - I don't recommend the AYCE option. I think it would be important to make a distinction that AYCE clearly on the menu and at the front - AYCE means each individual selects ONE entree (which is a one small portion) and the AYCE component of the deal is ONLY for the side buffet.

    for only $19.99 AYCE, they have sooo many hong kong style dishes to choose from -- dim sum,…read morenoodles, roasted meats, seafood, desserts, and more everything came out hot, flavorful, and perfect for sharing with family & friends definitely one of the best budget eats in convoy if you're craving authentic cantonese comfort food!!

    So good! It's fast,…read morethe portions are large and the food is incredibly tasty! Get the beef chow fun. Nice sauce and noodles are chewy. Get the vegetarian fried rice. Nice use of mushrooms in this and the rice is nicely cooked. Get the sweet and sour fish fillet. Big portions and the fish is breaded but flakes nicely when you eat it. Get the salt and pepper chicken wings. FIRE. My cousin has a disability and I just want to thank the staff here for being so kind, patient and understanding to us as we had our meal. If I could give a hundred stars, I would. This place is a must go to for great Chinese food in San Diego.

    We came here with a huge party (11 people, 3 of which were adults) and opted to get one of their…read morefamily meals with a few extra dishes to supplement things. The menu said the family meals were meant for parties of 8, but let me tell you. We ate until we were hurting and there was still a ton of leftovers. Those meals can easily serve a dozen people in my opinion which makes them even more of a great deal. If you've got a large party, this is a fantastic option to make sure everyone eats their fill. With that said, all the food was delicious. Hot and fresh from the kitchen, each dish with its own unique flavor and textures. We ran the gamut of flavors over our meal and it's hard to really point to one singular dish that was my favorite. After having almost 10 different dishes, I can confidently say that they will have something you will really enjoy. The restaurant itself is a bit no frills. But that's fine. They're putting their time in to food, not ambiance and I am totally down with that. Service is great. We were in a back corner, but we never felt ignored nor overly watched over. We were able to sit down and enjoy our meal at our own speed. My only 'gripe' with the restaurant is that the restroom is actually outside and shared with the other businesses in the complex. And that bathroom isn't the best maintained. I'm assuming that's up to the property management and not the restaurant (or other businesses) so I'm not dinging my review, but just keep that in mind. Might be best to try & hold it if you can. Ultimately, Golden Chopsticks really knocked it out of the park and caught me so off guard. I am so glad we came here on a bit of a whim. It was fantastic and I can't wait to go back.
