Cucumber salad
Sydney H.

Really like this place! We ordered a few things through uber eats and everything arrived still hot and fresh. The crystal shrimp dumplings were awesome. The shu mai were very good too and loved the cucumber salad. Only thing we probably wouldn't get again was the veggie steamed bun - it was supposed to have a mushroom filling but turned out to me mostly cabbage and chopped little noodles (I think). It's a really good go to for a quick dumpling order.

Mapo Tofu, xia long bao, spicy Spicy Wonton 红油抄手

10/10 would recommend this place for a cute little date night. We're always in this area but we rarely just walk around and after a little cafe date with my Fiancé, we were looking for a place to eat and this came up near by. It was a Monday evening so parking wasn't as hard to find and we parked about a block down. If you do come on a weekend and have trouble finding parking you can always park at the lot where the old RiteAid is, you just have to pay a little more. This restaurant has been here for a while but it was our first time dining in and we were pleasantly surprised. There's nothing super fancy about the place but I kind of like that because I never quite paired dumplings and fine dining together. When I think of dumplings I think of a warm cozy meal in comfortable clothes, so I like that this place doesn't require you to be all dressed up. It's very casual but clean. The service is great, they're very kind here and attentive. We ordered the Mapo tofu, Dandan noodles, Pork Xia Long Bao which is the soup dumplings, and Spicy wontons. The Mapo tofu was steaming hot and full of flavor, the tingling and numbing sensation from the Szechuan peppers is my favorite because it lets me eat more spicy food haha. The Dandan noodles were really savory and had a rich peanut butter taste but they didn't over do it. The Pork Xia Long Bao's were great, they had a good amount of soup in them and there was a slight sweetness to it which I wasn't used to but didn't mind. The spicy wontons were our favorite because it was so full of flavor and actually a bit creamy. Over all a great place to get dumplings that aren't over priced. We loved it and will definitely be coming back.

Was is the area for Comic-Con and had a hankering for dumplings. I ordered online and it said my order would be ready in 10-15mins. That was not the case. Got there and still had to wait another 30mins. The place was packed. It's noisy, clean and cold inside. Was decorated like any other place. Nothing stood out. We ordered soup dumplings, wonton soup and a side of rice. The food was just ok. I thought it would be amazing since the place was packed. Maybe I just use to something different since I'm from San Francisco,

The food here is absolutely amazing and so fresh! I love you can see them making the dumplings and the staff are so sweet! We will definitely be back!!

Pork dumplings with a peanut chili sauce

Really great, authentic Dumpling and Chinese place. We ordered 4 things and were stuffed to the gills when finished, all for about $42! Not many bargains in Hillcrest but this is one. Very friendly staff, definitely a family affair. Could see Mom in the back making the dumplings! Yum, every bite was exquisite, best were the pan fried pork ones, the rainbow dumplings were very good, 5 different kinds and colors! (See pic). Shrimp with green onion, pork, chicken, and beef (the best!) Two of each, also one lamb! Don't miss the huge bao bun stuffed with braised pork! Several other filling available as well. Didn't try the whole [page of stir fry stuff but many other tables looked happy with them. Stupid me left my new uncomfortable hearing aids on the table, being nearly invisible they ended up on the floor with new diners at the table by the time I called. Not to worry, they rescued them and was able to pick them up the next day saving me $1500+. I am forever grateful to this lovely family and will patronize frequently. Highly recommended!

Interior entry and only indoor dining

Dumplings N More a Chinese restaurant in Hillcrest located on Fifth Street only offers indoor seating and parking is a challenge but I suggest the pay to park at the lot where now closed RiteAid is. Fifth Street in Hillcrest has lots of eateries, many I simply have avoided because of the Lack of Curve appeal. There's a bus stop outside, the sidewalk needs to be power washed and the area in general tends to attract homeless and/or trouble makers. A few weeks ago, after visiting a the Blue Stocking bookstore, I stopped and peeked inside Dumplings N More restaurant and saw available seating next to the window. I stepped inside and was immersed greeted by the female hostess and she let me choose my seating, the booth by the window with my pup Fendi. This restaurant has been at this location for over a decade. Despite its longevity, the restaurant is not fancy but the interior looked clean, simple with a hospitable staff. Service from the hostess/waitress and server was pleasant, helpful and attentive. She was knowledgeable about the menu items and contents of the dishes. Because this restaurant specializes in dumplings, that's what I ordered along with other foods. I specifically requested 'No Pork' in any dumplings and this restaurant was very accommodating and honored my request. The multi colored dumplings were presented nicely and were very tasty. The steamed shrimp dumplings aka 'Har Gow' are always one of my favorites and these were delish. The garlic green beans were good but not as snappy as I would have liked. The Emerald Tofu soup with tofu and slivers of Napa cabbage was light, flavorful and a perfect starter. Because I had a positive overall dining experience, I would try other menu items in my next visit. Recommend.

Hot & Sour Soup
Kathy S.

Took a group here after the college kids moved in the dorms so the families can get to know each other. It was great for a group because you can scan the menu and put in your order and then easily pay per family. The staff were super nice and accommodating the group. I didn't get a chance to take photos of everything but here are some highlights of what my family ate. - Spices wonton soup with pork - Tofu soup - if you are vegan make sure to ask for water broth because they normally use chicken broth - Hot and sour soup- this one is vegetarian- love that I could have it as I don't eat meat but it was very peppery so it will clear you out - cucumber salad - yummy and refreshing - shrimp dumpling - was a little fishy - Mongolian beef - Chinese cabbage and mushrooms - sooo good!

Hot and Sour Soup
Crystal B.

Everything is amazing here, including the service. My husband and I are big lovers of authentic Chinese cuisine and this is some of the best I have ever had. The hot and spicy wontons are hand made and have a delicious pork center and the sauce is amazing. Same goes the green beans tasty and cooked perfectly, crunch my and not soggy. And to top it off their hot and sour soup is some of the best I have ever had since our old place went out of business years ago! I highly highly recommend.

Miguel A.

The variety was incredible, and everything tasted homemade with care. It's the kind of place where you can't help but over-order and you'll be glad you did. Can't wait to come back on our next trip to SD The hot n sour was the best I ever had .

Chicken Stir-Fried Noodles
Madalina A.

I've always wanted to try this place and I'm so glad I did! The vibes in here are great and the staff is so kind. The servings are huge! The prices are very reasonable. The food was delicious, here are my ratings: 1. Boba, 5/5 - I've never had such a big boba. It is huge!! So worth it. 2. Chicken stir fried noodle, 3.5/5 - it's good but a little salty. Huge! I would share this would someone. 3. Spicy wonton pork, 4/5 - so good! The pork is amazing. Also a big serving. I recommend sharing this. The sauce is interesting but good. 4. The cream cheese wontons, 6/5 - these are too good! I could eat an infinite amount.

Inside
Brad D.

Parking can be a challenge, but Dumplings N More is absolutely worth it. This place serves the best dumplings in San Diego at an unbeatable value. The pork and shrimp dumplings are flavorful and juicy, and the pan fried beef buns are mostly tender with a crisp side and fresh dough wrapped around savory beef filling--absolutely delicious. The egg drop soup is light, comforting, and full of flavor. The pork fried rice with spicy pickled vegetables is bold and satisfying. Don't forget to try the cucumber salad and iced green mango tea... it's refreshing and pairs beautifully with the meal. I love Chinese food, and this spot has quickly become my favorite in San Diego. Everything is made fresh, and you can taste the quality in every bite. Authentic, fresh, and consistently delicious.

This is my new favorite Chinese food and dumpling place. I just left and had to write a review immediately because the Dan Dan noodles were THAT good. The dumplings were juicy and handmade, my fiance watched from our table. But those Dan Dan noodles!! I will be dreaming of them. The staff was also super nice and helpful when we needed it and all ordering took place on our phones via QR code! Cannot wait to come back.

Boiled dumplings
Karen C.

I'm not sure how I never realized this place existed so close to me until now. I ordered the pork shrimp chive dumplings, boiled and they were delicious. Very plump and meaty. The scallion pancake was also solid. I did delivery so I can't comment on the ambiance but solid dumpling option in Hillcrest.

I'm surprised some people could sit down and work/study successfully. Note: I had a positive experience last time getting a blended drink, but today I felt like trying their Thai Tea (not blended) and two Korean Corn Dogs. I ordered the hot Cheeto one with cheese and sausage. Did not wind up receiving the hot Cheeto one. Got a regular one with all cheese, no sausage. Partner got a potato one with cheese and sausage, but only 25% of the filling was sausage. We ate them anyways and wanted to leave it at that since the parking was so difficult. Then my stomach started gurgling in a very wrong way. I don't know if something went wrong with the Thai tea (was the milk they used expired?), or with my Korean corn dog possibly being prepared wrong with a new hire, but my body rejected it violently once I got home. I'd be very cautious about coming back here. Most likely won't. Couldn't finish my Thai Tea. Had to throw it out. I'm hoping this was just an unfortunate one time thing, because it seems like people for the most part have a good experience from their food and drinks. This is my third ever time visiting Urban Bubble. The past two visits were for blended drinks and they were great! The girl working the cash register on the evening of 4/24 around 8:00PM was really helpful with suggesting recommendations and did great. I don't know who prepared my food and drink but maybe they need extra training, heads up. If you order food, I suggest that you check the food before leaving the building instead of trusting that it was correct and finding out once you've already left.

I ordered the Tieguanyin milk tea and the osmanthus Tieguanyin milk tea. Both had a rich tea flavor, which I appreciated. The osmanthus one tasted more like osmanthus syrup and it added sweetness Overall, solid drinks, but nothing particularly standout. It actually reminded me a bit of Wushiland in LA. The main downside for me is the parking situation. It's pretty limited, and nearby parking isn't the most convenient. Especially during dinner hours, about 2/3 of the spaces are valet for the restaurant next door, which makes it even harder to find a spot. Overall, a decent experience, but probably not somewhere I'd go out of my way to return to.

Ordering up front is also a suitable option. Note that parking here is quite easy, huge lot and it's free which is nice. Decorations here are pretty nice, good for pictures.

Staff is pretty quick and friendly. Drinks are pretty tasty. I'd say, pretty standard to most boba places. One thing I would highlight are the quality cups. Love the style that most boba spots have adapted and Moge Tee is similar. Their menu is quite extensive but my partner and I decided on their mango pomelo sago and creme brulee milk tea. Drinks came out fairly quick and we were decently impressed. Seems like they use real cuts of the pomelo which added to the taste of the drink. Felt quite refreshing on a cooler night which was a nice touch. The creme brulee is decent quality as well, not too sweet and it was a good compliment to the pomelo sago.

I have already been there twice in the past week, which should tell you how much I enjoy this place. The aesthetic is super neat. I love the decor and the overall vibe. It is colorful, bright, and full of character. They also have board games, and we ended up playing a game of chess, which made the experience even more fun. I have tried a few drinks so far. The double matcha was one of my favorites. I enjoyed it very much. It did not have that overly bitter matcha flavor and was sweet in a really balanced way. I also ordered the Oreo matcha, which was super delicious, refreshing, and tasty. The taro milk tea was good, and the ube cloud coffee was delicious. It actually reminded me of the Vietnamese coffee I usually get in Orange County, so now I do not have to drive all the way there to get something similar. The drinks here are great because they are not overly sweet, which is exactly how I like them. I also tried the purple rice yogurt just to check it out and thought it was okay.
