    This is the most underrated restaurant in San Marcos. Hidden at the base of the hill as you head…read moresouth up the hill to San Elijo Hills. From the impeccable service, cleanliness and premium traditionally prepared dim sum, wontons, bao and dumplings. Everything was perfect, we left wanting more. Jasmin milk tea to go, yes please. Loved it all. Don't miss this little San Marcos gem.

    After spending our Sunday morning enjoying Discovery Lake and hiking its trails, we decided to have…read morelunch at the nearby Campus Pointe II Plaza. There were many dining options on site, and ultimately we decided on One More Bite after seeing a cook making dumplings behind a glass wall, assuring us they were authentic and the dumplings were not from stores. The restaurant, with its modern Asian décor, was clean and quite spacious, with seating for 70+ guests. The friendly staff guided us to our table and brough water and menu right away. After browsing its extensive menu, we ordered the following dishes: Popcorn Fried Chicken: The chicken pieces were lightly battered, tasty, crispy, and mildly spicy. Pork Xiao Long Bao: This is the quintessential dish of any dumpling house and theirs was spot on. The delicate outer wrap was flawlessly steamed without any tearing, perfectly trapping the juicy broth inside. The filling was well seasoned and with very nice texture. Boiled Shrimp and Pork Dumplings: The outer layers were not soggy or overly boiled, retaining its firm but delicate texture. The filling was savory and a tad sweet. Shrimp and Pork Wonton Soup with Udon: The broth was light but flavorful, with a hint of pleasant white pepper aroma. The thick udon noodles were nicely al dente. The wontons, with savory filling, had slightly thick wraps. Rainbow Vegetable Pan Fried Dumplings: The colorful wraps really accentuated these dumplings. The outer layer had a nice firmness on top and a beautifully crispy bottom. The well minced filling was lightly seasoned and soft. Brown Sugar Rice Cakes: The rice cakes were quickly fried, creating a golden outer layer and pleasantly chewy inside. The drizzled brown sugar provided the sweet kick. Coconut Cream Balls: The fried outer layer was crunchy, and the runny coconut cream inside was not overly sweet. Overall, it was a very enjoyable lunch experience.

    I enjoyed my first visit here. All dim sum was at the right temperature and very tasty. Service was…read morepretty good though the cart waitresses often skipped my table, which was annoying. Nice ambiance. My only complaint is that there are no prices listed on the menu! Two dim sum I got were marked as large and I wondered if this was correct. Had no way of knowing which were small medium or large nor the prices until I got the bill. It was expensive. I wish they were transparent with charges.

    Hm, I'm not really sure what happened to this place. For a long time, my family and I would go here…read morefor dimsum when we were able to get all together, but after going here March 2026, I think it's time for us to find a different spot. The food was good, but the prices have gone way up and the portions are even smaller. I'm not sure if it's because of the hour I came in, but they weren't doing cart service. It was around 6PM, I believe. I'm not sure when that change was made, but I hope it isn't a permanent thing. The fried rice was really good, at least. I wasn't too impressed with the bean curd dish, it was oily and not very deep. The pork and shrimp shu mai wasn't the best, it felt old somehow. As always, the shrimp ha cheung was delicious. I've no notes on that one, it's always been my favorite. The tea was... weird. I got a pot of jasmine tea, but it was absolutely FILLED with leaves. I'm not a high-maintenance table, someone who can't handle strong tea, or a novice to jasmine tea, so please understand-- this pot was BRIMMING. Super strong, extremely noticable. They swapped it out when I asked, but I just have never had that experience before. It got remodeled, but the restaurant I loved is gone now. It's a bit saddening. I'd understand the higher price-point if the food was still good, but now I really don't have much of a reason to come here.
