    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.

    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.

    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.
