Escondido has scored another gem in their up and coming dining scene. My husband and I came in for lunch last Sunday (04/19/26). We were greeted and seated promptly. Our server was very friendly and explained a few menu items for us as he dropped off our water. We ordered: The Smashed Cucumber Salad, Eggdrop Soup, Pork and Scallion dumplings, and Kung Pao chicken. First out the cucumber salad. It was so good, I could have eaten my own weight in it. It was amazing. The egg drop soup my husband ordered, he said was very delicious, but as I personally dislike egg drop soup, so I'm taking his word for it. The pork and scallion dumplings and kung pao chicken were so good! I can highly recommend these dishes. We loved the food so much we revisited today (4/26/26). We ordered the hot & sour soup, dan-dan noodles, and the 3 delight fried rice. Once again everything was amazing! The Dan Dan noodles were the best I've ever had! The dining room is a bit lackluster and plain, but I'm willing to overlook that since the food was amazing. I will be visiting Dumplings N More again and often! If you love really excellent Chinese cuisine, this place is definitely worth a try!!! read more

Dumplings N More - Pork and scallion dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Escondido, California

Located in Escondido CA. This business opened around early 2025. It used to be a chinese food place too, but now it is even better with new owners. We ate here around December 2025. My husband really likes the friend chicken here. It is chinese style with lighter batter, pepper style with some jalapenos. The spicy level is 3 out or 10, don't worry too much. We ordered black bean fish, salt n pepper chicken, string beans and fried chicken (called salt and pepper chicken 8 pieces). I would say try everything here. I don't have anything bad to say about it. Every dish was great. For 2 persons, we ordered 4 dishes, and have left overs for next 2 meals. There is plenty of parking. Service is awesome! read more

It was our family first time visiting this restaurant. The space is small and cozy, which makes it good for a relaxed family meal after zoo visit. We ordered the black bean fish, king oyster mushrooms with pork belly, lamb dumplings, and pork dumplings -- every single dish was absolutely delicious. Honestly, even by standards in China, this is professional chef-level cooking. The flavors were authentic, balanced, and beautifully executed. Jack was incredibly friendly. He came out to check on us, asked for our feedback, and chatted with us for a while. His warmth and hospitality made the whole experience even better. read more

Recently ordered a tray of salt & pepper chicken wings and their Mongolian beef. The chicken rivals that of Golden Chopsticks and Royal Mandarin without the long drive to National City! The dumplings are also made fresh. The employees are kind and recommend ordering in advance via phone. The dining room however is small, so expect a slight wait time during busy hours. read more

After trying to get into a spot on Convoy. It was so packed everywhere we drove back towards home and happen to find this GEM! the food was delicious! Everything we ordered was fire! Soup dumplings, green beans, stir fried noodles and vegetables dumplings. We ate it all! Who needs to trek all the way to Convoy when we have this here. The service was great. The restaurant was nice and clean. read more

We ventured into this restaurant because of the high reviews. When we arrived we noticed there were no Asian patrons. This was our first red flag. The decor of this small restaurant is very basic with chairs that are too large for the tables, as a result many of the tables have tape reinforcement along the leg sides. The upholstery on each booth is poorly finished and looks cheap. The booths have a thin vinyl cover that has been stapled externally on the frame of the booth. Not sure if these are poor repairs or have been this way since opening. No real ambiance and tables do not have hot chili to customize your dumpling selection. Food: we ordered XLB, Salt & Pepper Wings, and General TSO's. The XLB dumplings are large, juicy, and tasty. However we found the dumpling skins thick and not as delicate as we like. The salt & pepper wings were decent but the actual chicken had little flavor as the chicken itself had no seasonings. The seasoning resides only in the dusting of the finished product. Our least favorite dish was the General TSO's which was very sweet and one note. There was no savory flavor to this dish nor was it spicy even though . It contained many dried red peppers. Overall summary: unfortunately, we will not be returning to this restaurant. The dishes are large in quantity but the quality of the finished product is lackluster. Our favorite dumpling house in all of San Diego County is Ju Feng Yuan, in Scripps Poway. read more

My mom has been raving about this place so we decided to give it a try and order takeout. No one answered the phone so we decided we'd go to the store nearby for drinks and stop in after to see if we could order in person. The restaurant looked spacious and clean. The staff promptly greeted us and handed us menus to order from with no emotional expression. No smile nor smidgen of warmth which made my boyfriend and I feel unwelcome. My takeaway is: if they don't answer the phone - they're busy and don't want you to stop in. 15 minutes later our food was ready and we were out of their hair. Despite the awkwardness ordering, the food was amazing. Everything we got was delicious, there is nothing to critique. Everything was well prepared, fresh, and hit the spot on a cold night. Next time I order from here I'll try to come during the day instead of evening and see if the vibe changes. read more

These are the best dumplings north of Convoy Street! The three of us came here last evening and were blown away by.... Well... Everything. Here's and example. We ordered our appetizers, see photo and then... even though we ordered our entrées, we ordered more appetizers. LOL Our server was sweet and friendly. She offered us some vegetarian egg rolls gratis to start. While, her manager came cover several times to check on us. Five stars and we'll be back. read more

The food here was really good and at a decent price. The slashed cucumbers were very flavorful and had a great taste to them. The pork and scallion dumplings were also really good. We also got the 3 meat noodles, which also was good. The portions were very nice and left us both full with leftovers. The staff were very nice and came to help often. The place is nice with some table and chairs and booths. The booth seats weren't that comfortable due to the bumps on the backseat tho. read more

Came very hungry with my daughter for lunch. We were able to sit down quickly as the restaurant wasn't too busy. Despite there being a QR code on the table someone was able to take our orders. We selected chicken fried rice, xiao long bao, beef and broccoli for dine in and got s&p wings and pork/scallion dumplings to go. Fried rice came out first and tasted great, seasoned perfectly so we were excited for our other entrees to arrive. My daughter ate up and enjoyed her dumplings. I thought the beef & broccoli was just okay but found myself digging for the broccoli since they were perfectly cooked. Arriving home husband and I enjoyed the s&p wings and found the pork/scallions to be on the saltier side for my liking. Overall a nice experience. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Ample parking in lot. read more

I was excited when I saw a dumpling place opening in Escondido, even though it was clear on the other side of town, meaning a 20-minute ride from our house, which is difficult to do in Escondido. I can be in RB faster than that. When we arrived at the Dumpling House, they were cleaning the windows with a ladder blocking the front door. It took several minutes before we could enter. Once inside we were seated immediately and they brought us menus, which are quite extensive. We ordered two dishes, Steamed Pork Dumplings with scallions and Stir-fried noodles with Shrimp. What followed is one of my pet peeves: When we order with two or more people, the food should arrive at the same time, not minutes apart, just like when you order soup or appetizers, they should arrive in order. Dumpling House, just like many newer outfits, simply does not get that concept. We go to share a meal, have a conversation, not just consume food and turn their table for them. Next, the very long noodles arrived with a standard fork. No serving utensils, like fork and spoon or tongues. When I asked for a spoon, the server looked at me somewhat perplexed and told me they don't have spoons - he brought out another fork. Now, this maybe cultural, but I doubt that, I have been to plenty of Asian restaurants of various backgrounds, Chinese, Thai, Fusion, and had serving utensils. If someone from Dumpling House actually reads this - "go buy some serving utensils" and teach your servers to bring out the food properly. Let's be clear: The dumplings were great; we were actually able to see someone shaping the dumpling dough, although we also saw them taking the dough out of a can, which looked like what you buy in a supermarket, so the dough is clearly not made from scratch. The noodles were also very good, but of a quality that can be had in any reasonably good sit-down Chinese restaurant. So, here's my bottom line: I you go specifically for dumplings, this is a good place to get them, but for a rounded Chinese experience, there are better places in Escondido, especially given the price point. read more

Dumplings N More - Inside - Chinese Near Me - Escondido, California

Absolutely delicious! Service was amazing. You order on your phone as well as pay but if I needed extra sauce or napkins the waitress was very quick with it. The place was busy, and I wasn't surprised on why after I tried the food. I got salt and pepper chicken wings, juicy, seasoned, and a little tiny bite to them, crispy perfection. Rangoons with scallions, good price, crunchy, flavorful, the noodles with beef delicious, not overcooked at all and seasoned really well, the dumplings were delicious, not skimpy on the filling at all and they held together really well. I ordered two tao bubble lychee jelly teas as well. With all of this food it came out to $65!!! Which is really good for the value of the ingredients, taste, and portion I will 100% be coming back to try their other dishes because everything looked really good on the menu, and the stuff I saw other costumers get was fresh. Bathrooms were clean, and I liked the ambiance of the inside, my only complaint is they have their orders, including online orders hooked up to an ipad or something that dings constantly while you're eating. I'm happy they're doing so well but I'd prefer not to hear this read more

This place was really good! I usually have a hard time finding a dumpling place because a lot of places only really serve pork dumplings but this place has so much to offer! Food was delicious and came out super fast, it was a nice and cozy spot to have some yummy dumplings, I like how they have the rainbow dumplings because it is a nice sampler of the different flavors they have like lamb, beef, veggies, egg, and more! Definitely worth a try:) read more

Located in the Albertson's shopping center. I was happy to hear that a dumpling spot opened up nearby, & not just any dumpling spot, but Dumplings N More! Who has another successful location in Hillcrest. Super friendly service but a bit inattentive. Delicious, authentic Chinese cuisine. They serve a variety of chicken, pork, lamb, fish, beef, shrimp, vegetable noodles, fried rice, soup dishes, dumplings of course and more. They also serve a variety of desserts & teas. My go to place is Din Tai Fung & this restaurant is definitely on par with them in regards to taste & quality. read more

Along with Dim Sum staples, they offer familiar favorites like beef and broccoli and orange chicken. Honestly you cannot go wrong with any dish here. For xiao long bao connoisseurs, the broth in this dumpling is more savory than other places. Just fyi. The boba teas they offer were also fantastic and a must have. read more

What a pleasant surprised that a dumpling place like this is in north county. This is their second location in San Diego County. They make everything in house. You can watch through the window as they make the dough for the noodles and stuff the dumplings. Everything we ordered was tasty and flavorful. It started with complimentary shrimp chips. -Dan Dan noodles: has a nice kick -Rainbow steamed dumplings: We waited too long to eat this and the skin started to hardened. But the filings were full and flavorful. -Xiao log bao: Slightly bigger than DTF. Thin wrapper and lots of filling. -Braised beef noodle soup: My favorite. Had a nice kick but the meat could be a tad but more tender. -Salt and pepper wings: The batter is very crispy but I didn't tasty much S&P -Cucumber salad: It's smashed English cucumbers with a light sauce. -Chili wonton: Has a nice kick, thin wrapper, great filling. They have a full on Chinese menu but we only ordered under dim sum/dumplings. We also ordered Almond milk tea with no boba. It was too sweet. I would suggest to order 50% sweet. read more

I came to try this spot because a friend recommended it and it's not too far from home. My husband and I ordered the following to share: - garlic green beans - chicken & corn dumplings - pork & mushroom sticky rice siu mai - wontons in red chili oil - steamed rice We both loved the garlic green beans and chicken & corn dumplings. Both were cooked perfectly and had really good flavor. We both felt the pork & mushroom sticky rice siu mai was on the bland side. It wasn't horrible but we wouldn't order that one again. My husband really liked their spicy wontons. They are good but I'm not a fan of schezwan spice. Portions were good. We had leftovers that we took home. Service was okay and our seats could have used some extra cleaning. There were greasy, kid hand prints all over the booth. Food was good enough that we plan on going back. read more

I was in the area and tried this restaurant for first time. We were in the mood for dumplings & saw this recommendation from a friend. The Restaurant is small but clean. There's an open window to watch them put together the dumplings which is fun to see. We ordered the rainbow dumplings, vegetable fried rice, smashed cucumbers, scallion pancakes, sweet & sour chicken. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The vegetable dumplings weren't my favorite. The service staff were nice and helpful, And it wasn't busy when we got there around 1:30pm for lunch. If you're looking for a dumpling place give this place a try. read more

My friend posted dining at this restaurant on her Instagram page and I thought I would try it since I was in the area. My friends and I stopped at two other restaurants but we didn't like their menu offerings. I remembered my friend's post and decided to try this place. The service was friendly and as we reviewing the menu, we were given shrimp chips on the house, We ordered the #RainbowDumplings that had a variety of fillings, including lamb. The wrapper was thick and chewy, but tasty, I did enjoy the lamb and all the other dumplings except for the veggie one.The kale was overpowering. The #SmashedCucumbers were refreshing and very different than what I am used to.. They were smashed, garlicky and crunchy. The #SweetAndSourChicken was the right amount of sweetness for me. I enjoyed the #ScallionPancakes and thought they were done well. The #FriedRice was very simple which is how I like it. I didn't know this so I did have a side of white rice. I would come back here when I am in the area I thought the food was tasty, service pleasant, and ambience simple and clean. read more

Wow! We were looking for some comfort food on a rainy day and we couldn't have picked a better place for dinner. The food was incredible we actually forgot to take a photo and no one was talking much cause we were too focused on the delicious food!

It was quiet and not too crowded when we dropped in which we enjoyed. Overall a wonderful rainy day dinner spot, we'll definitely be back! Managed to snap a photo of the coconut balls before we ate them, sooo good! read more

Dumplings N More - Coconut Lava Balls - Chinese Near Me - Escondido, California

This restaurant opened last December, I think the original one is in Hillcrest. There aren't options for good dumplings and chinese food in Escondido and this is a great option for the area. The service is good and the place is nice. I think prices are a little high for the area. We tried: - Rainbow Steamed Dumplings.- good option to try several ones, i enjoyed the lamb and scallion dumplings. - Egg. Chive. And Shrimp Dumplings (9Pc).- Good but needed a little more flavor. - Xiao Long Bao (9Pc).- this were the best of what we ordered. - Crystal Shrimp Dumplings.- solid. - Pork And Mushroom Sticky Rice Siu Mai.- my least favorite. - Zha Jiang Noodles.- good. Besides dumplings they have many other dishes and seems appealing so I'll be back to try some of the other dishes. read more

Wow, I'm so glad Escondido has this great new restaurant! There is not any other like it that I know of in the city. As soon as I saw this was newly open, and after reading the Great reviews i knew i had to go. . Today was a gloomy rainy sort of day, perfect for some comfort food, so I decided to go with some friends and we all loved it! I have never been to Din Tai Fung but they have, and said it reminded them of that restaurant except the portions here are larger. The portions definitely were very large and meant for sharing. We ordered the green beans- which had a nice garlicky flavor, and tasted fresh. The Xiao long bao - which were good sized and had a tasty, flavorful broth inside with the pork. Egg, chive, and shrimp dumplings - I wasn't sure what to expect with these because of the flavor combinations, but they were very good as well. Spicy pickled fried rice - this had a good flavor to it, not too bland, and not too pickly, and contaimed a bit of minced pork and some vegetables. Soicy hot and sour soup - I dont usually eat this, but this one was good and the broth was thick and not too spicy. Coconut lava balls - these were nice and warm and gooey inside. I would definitely order all of these items again, but maybe not all at once since we were so full. One thing I noticed was the food temperature was perfect on everything we ordered. Nothing came out too hot or too cold. We also had a chance to taste the pan fried dumplings with beef, and the meat inside was so good and juicy, I'll definitely get these next time. We saw other customers with noodle dishes that look really good as well, and I can't wait to try one of those too. The restaurant inside isn't huge but it has several booths and table setups, and one large round table that could seat about nine people. I'm already planning a trip back with a bigger group. The service was also excellent. Everyone that came to our table was so nice, and helpful regarding the menu. The food came out quickly and they came back to check on us frequently. I feel like they were really trying to put their best foot forward and they did. This is definitely going to be a regular addition to my local spots. read more

Grand opening and it's already impressive. Not close to a more upscale ambience and location of Ding Tai Fung at UTC but this new Taiwanese Dimpling place in Escondido has a 4.5 star quality for their food in particular the XLB, rainbow dumpling, stir fried noodles and spicy wanton. But we are giving this place a 5 star because of the Coconut Lava Balls, a must have desert. Service is also 5 star. This did not fit our $50 budget for two but we ordered for a family of 5 just for us to taste the popular dishes. Our total billed for 5 items is only $68. Not bad. Highly recommend especially if you live in North County. read more

Very happy to have a good dumpling spot close to home. Small, clean, well lit spot with plenty of parking, and very kind attentive service. We were checked on multiple times, and the server let us know what appetizers were vegetarian. The potato salad was a new fave, different and fresh. I liked the woodear mushroom salad, the texture was a bit chewy for my parents (cooked and seasoned very well though). Dumplings were SO good, I was very happy with the portions, and the flavor. Definitely adding this to our dinner rotation. read more

Dumplings N More - Rainbow Steamed Dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Escondido, California

We had a really good meal here. Started with the hot and sour soup which was one of the best I've had. Then ordered the spicy noodles which were just ok. The noodles itself were really good and soft, but the spicy sauce was missing flavor. Then came the rainbow dumplings which were absolutely delicious. Flavor, texture, and size were perfect. Lastly we got the xiao long bao which was also very good but I will say that I wish they were a little smaller so you can easily have in one bite. The atmosphere is very clean and nice. Service was somewhat friendly. But all in all everything was really good and I would recommend. read more
