Dumpling Inn & Shanghai Saloon

Service rushed and unprofessional, someone's granny was trying to take a full order before guest had arrived and dropped the check while we were still eating and considering more to order.. This was like 6 pm on a Thursday with barely anyone in the whole restaurant.

Some of the best Chinese food I've had in a very long time. The group I was with ordered everything family style and it was very good. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Solid is the word I’d use. Xiaolongbao were pretty good, chow mein was eh, mapo tofu was decent. Pretty fast all around too, but nothing special

NOISY. CONVERSATION DIFFICULT. Food and service very good. 4 of us wanted to talk about upcoming travel while enjoying dumplings. Very difficult. The room design causes sound to resonate and amplify. Parking was also tight and expensive.

Very good food. Reasonable prices too.

Good dumplings but a bit thick. I prefer a thinner/lighter dough. The filling flavor was spot on. Will return to try other options.

This is a nice but casual place to eat at.

The place seems to be split into two different themes, though the Dumpling Inn is more decorated.

I sat at the bar on a Sunday afternoon and was not met with any wait. My food came out within 7 to 10 minutes of being ordered too.

The Deluxe chowmein was one step above fast food chowmein. I can't say the shrimp had any flavor. The chicken, pork, beef and noodles were the real flavor carriers.

The noodles had a salty greasy flavor and texture to them(and I mean that well). I enjoyed it. The plate was full but still expensive for the price of $15. Can't say there was anything distinguishing about the taste.

The Pork dumpling was good too. There was no real flavor to it but was more like the water that steamed it. Still, I enjoyed it dipped in soysauce.

The place itself is nice, but by no means a fancy date spot. The place is large, fast and loud. Plus the ceiling is tall so everyone echoes all over.

I would recommend this place for a relaxing time, good food and nice bartenders. They were helpful and attentive without intruding on you every so often.

I did not order drinks here but looking around, everyone seemed to be enjoying well made cocktails.

The only gripe you may find is the parking, as other reviews have mentioned. It's hard, even dangerous to find parking in this "roundabout" parking lot. It's best to park on the street.

The homemade noodles are the best! We always try to visit when we go to San Diego.
