Dumpling Inn

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.

I've been coming to Dumpling Inn when they were at their tiny previous location.Mostly solid menu with the dumplings being standout.We like the Scallion Lamb and dumplings in spicy broth.Jelly fish salad is a fun try if you've never had it

So many reviews and was so disappointing. Came on a grad weekend Sunday morning because DTF had a 2 hr wait. This place had no wait at opening. The hostess was rude to our party. The place has a saloon ambience which is unique. The xlb had zero soup in it. A soup dumpling; with no broth inside. The meat wasn't that well seasoned either. The duck was nothing to write home about. Kinda greasy and bland. The walnut shrimp was standard, adjacent to Panda Express quality. The green beans were undercooked, which was my first time experiencing at an asian restaurant. Overall ok prices, ok service, pretty subpar food. Don't ever plan on coming again. I honestly think panda express is better than this which says A LOT

Food okService : ok Ambiance : Have you ever watched Warriors ? ( I love that show!) It's like that, old school Chinese western saloon Was nearby and always wanted to try this place. Seemed very popular said it was a 20/30 min wait. Got seated within 5 minutes. Very busy. Food was ok it was missing oyster sauce or something. Cool dining area. Parking structure in the back paid $6.90 for 2 hours. I don't think I'll come back.

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 - 3/5Some 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 - 5/5This was just excellent. The lamb, the overall flavour all were good.Shrimp Chicken Chive Boiled dumplings 4/5This 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.

This is a cool spot and I recommend. Best food in town? No. Best food on Convoy? Also no. But good food nonetheless. The pricing is very reasonable, the dining room and bathrooms are clean, the staff are friendly and accommodating. We ordered hot and sour soup, three kinds of dumplings, crispy noodles, beef and broccoli, and orange chicken. All just fine selections. The dumplings were the most noteworthy. I would recommend to out of towners and will take my out of town guests again.

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

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.

Xiao long bao: 4/5 just warm, Not hot, appears to be pre-pared a while ago.Beef curry dumpling: 3/5 not for people who like authentic Chinese food. Maybe for people who like Americanized Chinese food Black pepper with beef: 4/5 taste is average. Price is reasonable. Services is average.
