Dumpling Inn – San Diego

Good dumplings, good prices, long queues and the risk of selling out.

Those are the good and bad things about the Dumpling Inn on Convoy. Valerie has discovered how to mitigate the bad parts: she orders take away on the phone, zips over to pick it all up, everything’s ready to go.
Yes, we do lose out on the ambiance, but this is a minor sacrifice for all the benefits.

Two orders of veggie fried rice, with lots of leftovers for snack on later.
Steamed pork buns, which were delicious, but for those thinking you’d get bao, please be aware they are more like dumplings, as seen in the upper photo on the right.

Two orders each of steamed fish and chive dumplings, and of pork fried dumplings. Orders are large, usually 8-10 dumplings per portion, usually around $7.

Mmm, my full assemblage of dumpling heaven. All the above listed items, plus sauteed greens and another deep fried dumpling that I cannot recall anymore (but it was good).

We paid about $87 for this large takeaway order, intending to feed 5 people. There was significant leftover.
