Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to the Dumpling Inn. We ordered 2 types of dumplings, orange chicken, deluxe fried rice, deluxe chow mein, and green beans in garlic sauce. Although I can't say that any of these items were the best I ever had, they were all delicious and well prepared. Service was very good and the food came out very quickly. When we arrived they weren't very busy but by the time we left, they were packed! Parking is a little challenging but I would definitely recommend and would definitely return.

It was delicious!! Great service and fast. Celebrated mom birthday it was fun! Yummy food and affordable!

Fantastic cocktail and beer selection. Even better entree selection. Enjoyed the spicy pork and eggplant dish most of all. Very cool that they purchased their own bourbon barrel from Maker's Mark. We arrived at 5:30 PM on a Saturday and were able to park on Convoy Street with no hassle. I've been dining at Dumpling Inn since it was in a very small space in the same strip mall. I don't visit very often since parking is challenging but I'm now rethinking that. Waiting for a table is odd since they only call out names to those seated outside. Would appreciate it if they used a texting system whereby bar seating would be possible while waiting for a table.

We had the pleasure of eating this evening at the Dumpling Inn. My colleague was visiting from the East Coast requested a Chinese/dumpling dinner. I picked the Dumpling Inn as I've enjoyed many lunches there in the past This evening we arrived a bit early and had our choice of seats. Service was prompt. We had our drink order taken in minutes. For our dinner, we decided to order plates to share and ordered them at a leisurely pace. All of the dishes were made to order and were well done. We especially enjoyed the soup dumplings. Prices are very reasonable. Overall a very good meal with excellent service.

Came here around 5:30pm on Sunday. We put our name and party number down and got seated around 6pm for 12-14 people. Dumpling Inn was buzzing with people--lots of group and family style dining. It's quite loud in here, everyone is talking loudly/yelling to get their conversation across. I guess you'd say it's quite lively here! Something to note: The plates on the menu aren't individual style, but more family/sharing type. They have QR codes on each table for you to view the menu. They also had physical copies although you just have to ask them for it. Some people might not know, but the cylinder tube with the green and red tape on the table is a signifier item for the waitstaff to know if you're still eating or you want them to clear the table(you're finished eating). In addition, on the table they have soy sauce and white vinegar. I thought the white vinegar was a cheap route because usually Chinese places would have black vinegar to pair with the dumplings and such. Our table ordered: - Honey Glazed Shrimp: this had a crispy coating, succulent and plump shrimp, and the glaze wasn't overly sweet. I like the little bit of spice in it! In addition, the finely shredded bed of cabbage it sat upon tasted delicious with the sauce. I highly recommend at least 2 plates of these! - Green Bean Fish with Black Bean Sauce: the fish was light and well cooked. The black bean sauce didn't feel heavy in any way and it paired nicely with the green beans. I enjoyed the crunch of the green beans and how it kept its vibrant green color. I like pairing this with white rice. - Salt & Pepper Calamari: the batter for this was a taddd thick and it didn't hold onto the salt and pepper seasoning that well. I think this would taste good with the extra sauce from the plate of honey glazed shrimp. - Filet Mignon Black Pepper Steak: this steak was so soft-- I think they velveted it quite a lot. It had more of a sweet n sour type sauce on it compared to black pepper. Not really what I was expecting and the slices of bell pepper were big and long. Personally wouldn't get it again. - XLB (Xia Long Bao): it is a pork dumpling with cabbage, green onion, and broth. The wrapping was nice and thin at the base. Sometimes they stuck to the liner in the steamer. There wasn't a whole lot of broth in the dumpling. The filling of this, wasn't my preferred. It tasted a bit too compacted and the flavor wasn't there. I'd skip this next time, but others might like it. - Wonton Soup: This had pork wonton, cabbage, snow peas, etc in it. The flavor was very lacking, but maybe it's a soup where the pork wonton holds the flavor. If you think about it, this is a nice change from the fried and spicy dishes. I liked the cabbage and the snow peas. - Spicy Pork with Eggplant in Garlic Sauce: This had great flavor. I couldn't describe it but it was delicious. Sadly it wasn't spicy and I didn't taste any garlic. The eggplant and pork were wonderfully cooked. (This is coming from someone who doesn't enjoy eggplant). I could be wrong, but it looked like there were also bamboo shoots in it. This dish pairs well with white rice. - Deluxe Fried Rice: solid plate of fried rice. Very enjoyable for everyone! - Beef Chow Mein: The noodles were well coated in the sauce and seasonings. They had great flavor and everything tasted delicious. This plate was so big, we had to bring it home! - To drink, I ordered the "Dragon's Eye" cocktail. This contains: Lychee Martini, Lychee syrup, vodka, and fresh lemon. It also included one lychee in the middle of the glass. The glass was beautiful and sophisticated. I liked the color of the drink, it was a light pink. Compared to the pictures from previous times where it was the color of clorox (vibrant blue), this color is more suitable for it. Strong vodka amount but you can still taste the lychee! The service was great! They brought the food out all at once. Make sure you make room on the table for everything. Overall, this was a great choice for family dinner! We ordered a few more things than what was mentioned, the total came around $300 something. Next time, I would try the broccoli beef and maybe mapo tofu as well.

The general decor and vibe of this place is really nice. The bustle and the murmur filled room feels like youre transported from San Diego to some part of Asia. Xiaolongbao - 3/5 Some of them stuck to the bottom and leaked which kinda beats the point of a soup dumpling. It was flavourful though. Pork Potstickers - 4/5 Good char. Succulent filling. Lamb Chow mein - 5/5 This was just excellent. The lamb, the overall flavour all were good. Shrimp Chicken Chive Boiled dumplings 4/5 This was good, but needs a dip/sauce. The szechuan sauce/Spciy soup perfectly elevated this. Spicy soup - This is just $3 and its awesome. Its not as spicy as it looks and its a perfect thing to dip the dumplings into! Their drinks were also good. Tried the Singapore Sling and an Old Fashioned.

I've always seen this place packed. For good reason too. Everything I had here was delicious. XLB order comes with 10, and some ginger on top. I like to put it in my soy sauce vinegar chili oil mix. The sautéed Chinese greens were delicious. The deluxe fried rice was good. Not the greatest fried rice I've had, but still good. I docked a star only because it was really hard to get the attention of the servers. They kept zooming by, because it's so busy in there, so I get it. But it took me awhile to get some chili oil, because I couldn't get any of their attention. They had the dragons and fireworks showing for lunar new year. The dragons came around and it was super cool. I really enjoyed this place, and would come back again. Location is in convoy, luckily next to the little parking garage so it's not too hard to find parking.

Can you say good size portions? That's what we got when we ordered for four . We just grabbed and passed the plates along . The diced cashew chicken was so good . Had dumplings with the delicious hot sauce and vinegar and a side of rice Decided to grab a drink from the bar , something light with ginger beer ( mule in a china shop) The service was super fast and they brought plates out in a flash . They kept checking on our table to see if we needed anything . We will be going back for more . Make sure you check times before making a visit . Hours vary
