My friend and I had a good time here. The Dandan noodles and steamed pork dumplings were great! The dumplings (which are obviously the shop’s namesake) are honestly very good—juicy, perfectly cooked, and flavorful. They have a ‘buy one get one half off’ deal on their beer, meaning you can get two Sapporo or Tsingtao for $10.50 total—not bad for a restaurant. The staff are easygoing and friendly too. Definitely worth trying when you’re craving dumplings.

Some of the best dumplings you’ll ever lay your tongue on in San Diego. I know I didn’t say “eyes” but your taste buds are more important here. If you don’t like the food, you may have got it to go. It’s always better to dine in here and don’t order take out. It almost ruins the experience… all dumplings are meant to be devoured fairly hot & fresh. Also the cold dishes here are fantastic, and have them with a refreshing cold beer.

Very impressed by this place! Super friendly staff. My server was from Taiwan where I studied and she recommended the lamb dumplings. It was incredible! Tasted really good, came out promptly. We also ordered crushed cucumber salad which was very tasty, the dim sum combination, it was tasty as well. Got honey walnut shrimp which was amazing and a bunch other stuff. But I can’t recommend this place enough. Everyone should go try their amazing dumplings!

The best Chinese food in Hillcrest ! Crispy Chicken and Dan Dan Noodles are the my favorite set ! Come here more often if I can find a free parking place.

Pictured are the soup dumplings, pork bao bun, and brown sugar boba. Great prices for the portion, the soup dumplings were good but not great. They came out semi-hot… I prefer them to come out truly piping hot. The pork bao had good flavor but had a funky after taste. The boba was a huge serving for $4.99!! The service was okay, they were busy on a Saturday afternoon. I would have preferred to be paid a bit more attention to considering I was seated alone. I left full but hours later was greeted with a sore tummy and felt overall pretty icky. Not sure I will be returning after my experience.

The flavors are so delicious here. We tried the dumplings, braised beef noodles, fried rice and ribs. Definitely will have to check it out again. The dumplings and noodles are hand-made and fresh to order, which makes it extra special. The staff was kind and service was quick on a Sunday afternoon.

Cute little Chinese dumpling shop in Hillcrest. Each dumpling 🥟 tastes different. This was a delightful experience🥢. You can choose pan fried, boiled and steamed dumplings, tempura shrimp 🍤 and other dishes. I recommend the Dim Sum Crystal Shrimp and the Boba 🧋 Drinks are HUGE! Big enough to quench your thirst 🍺. You don't have to ration your drink! 🍶

You will crave the handmade dumplings after your first visit. The food tastes fresh and not overly seasoned. Highly recommend!
