Dumpling Inn & Shanghai Saloon

Every kind a dumpling was phenomenal I tried four different types. Love the place is good is its reputation!

Get the special! I’m glad to see the growth and success of this place. The last time I went to the dumpling inn was years ago when it was a hole in the wall next door.

Great value ! Seriously delicious xiaolongbao . Get the $1.50 spicy soul add on

Beef curry dumplings were amazingly delicious. All of the dumplings we had were amazing.

Awesome atmosphere! I've been searching for a good dumpling place since I've moved here... I found it! This is definitely going to be a regular spot.

Outstanding food. But less than ideal restroom situation, so wash up at home first. You'll thank me for not posting a photo.

Best xlb in San Diego, with other good dumplings , noodles , and fried rice dishes. Always worth the wait.

45-min-wait on the weekends, even for takeout . Plan ahead, it's worth it :-)

Best place for dumplings . Newly renovated restaurant is now HUGE with great craft cocktails .

Very authentic Northern Chinese cuisine for a decent price. Definitely get the dumplings steamed instead of fried.

Try the pan fried dumplings and another variety with a Mapo tofu , and you are going to have a spicy good time! Love this place!

They've moved to a larger location in the same complex. Much shorter wait times! Dumplings are still awesome.

Spicy 3 Ingredient lo mein . Also available as noodle soup .

Best autentic chinese restaurant in SD, tiny place -only 9 tables- attended by a family, highly recommended.

Parking is tough. Find some street parking if you can!

Best Chinese food in San Diego. Try the vegetable dumplings , salt & pepper fish , chow mein w/ homemade noodles , & cucumber salad . Great service but always a wait at lunch .

Soup buns are great and the 3 Spicy Lo Mein was amazing.

Bring your patience because getting a table can be a wait. But, their Xiao Long Bao alone is worth it.

Dumplings are a must try.... obviously!!! Chowmein is good too... kung pao chicken was a little too salty

If you order veggie dumplings make sure you order them as soon as you sit in because they're made fresh to order and take 20 minutes!

You probably already know this, but definitely get the signature dish here, the steamed pork dumplings

Xiao long bao dumplings are great!

Closed on Monday fyi. The pork and chive dumpling was the best. And you get a big pot of jasmine tea !

Honey glazed shrimp ....awesome!

Probably one of the best dumplings I've had, and their hot n sour soup is pretty bomb diggity!!

Dumplings are amazing. The chow mein is really good too

Dumplings are good, go early as it gets crowded but service is good

Loved the Chinese greens and garlic baked fish !

Try the beef curry dumplings !

Curry dumplings , soup dumplings , maps tofu , lamb

If you plan to come here for dinner , make sure you arrive before 6pm to ensure a better chance of getting seated right away.

Always a wait but worth it. The dumplings are fantastic, and the Kung pao seafood is great!

Get the Xiao Long Bao its delicious, just becareful the hot soup inside is scolding hot.

Dumplings ! Everything is good. Try hot and sour soup abs Kung Pau seabass .

If you can take the heat, order any boiled dumplings in spicy soup/broth. You can also get them with Schezuan sauce as well .

Chow mein , kung pao seafood , soups ! 💖
