Luke warm experience. No prices are listed on dim sum card, when asked what prices are, staff unable able to explain in english or present a menu. Food was either oversteamed or cold. Lunch, 3 small dim sum plates came to over 25.00.

The service environment is okay, the food is generally not particularly delicious, but it feels a lot more expensive than before. Four xiaolongbao, which are not much bigger than coins, cost 10 knives. I ate 40 yen by myself?

Love this place. The crab claw thingies are amazing. The sticky rice is da bomb. Love the dumplings. Just a really good, popular place. Have been going since before it was at this location. We're talking like early 90s! :) Go visit!

Mediocre food. Nothing special. Our dim sum was cold. Ordered salt and pepper lobster and it was good. The war wanton soup was pretty bland. The wanton did not taste very good. Overall an okay place but would pass. Other better choices in the area.

Taste-wise, the dim sum was not too bad. My favorite dishes were the siu mai and the pineapple bun. However, this place is definitely expensive! Each piece of ha cao/siu mai is 2 dollars, and they charge for tea per person. I was not full after the meal but had to stop because we were really pushing the limit with our budget. All in all, there is dim sum more worth your money out there in San Diego.

Authentic Dim Sum at Jasmine with good prices as well. I will definitely go back again!

Parking is a pain and there is typically a line the times we have showed up. Prices are expensive for the quality. I prefer Diamond Palace as the service is quicker there and I also feel like the portions are a bit larger. Maybe the wait is just so long that by the time I eat I'm pretty hangry.

Not for us.Dinner for 2. Tea, (1) Tsingtao beer, Egg drop soup, Hot and Sour soup, Kung Pao chicken and Breaded Shrimp (small entrees) with no rice for $78.Poor atmosphere, service and food for a VERY HIGH price.

I've been to Jasmine for dim sum and dinner many, many times over the years and have always enjoyed it.
It has been ages since I have come here for dim sum, primarily because of the poor parking situation and having to pay $6 to park just to have dim sum. That said, the quality of the food was good and service was fast and friendly. I came here with my family and we had a huge dim sum feast. I like how they have the traditional carts pushed around the restaurant so you could order as you go. This to me, is real dim sum. I'm not a fan of restaurants where you have to order everything upfront and they bring the dishes out all at once. There's only so much you could eat before the food gets cold. We ordered a large assortment of dim sum and everything was piping hot and tasty. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated for Chinese New Year.
Classic Dim Sum. Try not to get a table on the outer edge, a lot of the carts never make it to you.

Can not get over the quality of the food and service! The peking duck was amazing and they come out with a tray to serve you! The duck has the option of both buns and lettuce wraps. Both were great. I loved the jasmine tea! Super yummy! The Xiao Long Bao Dumplings were the best! The service was absolutely great. Constant refills and taking plates and check ins. The music was great and the ambiance was super nice. The food was amazing quality for a great price. This is definitely a hole in the wall and will be coming back to bring friends!

If I am craving for roasted duck, this is my go-to place in San Diego. Service is hit or misses at this place; it really depends on how busy they are, on this particular visit we got more attention (I.e. Filling your tea cup / changing your plates / checking if you need anything). Overall positive experience and great tasting roasted duck

The best siomai and dumplings! We keep coming back for them. The only downside is the wait for the carts to go by!

Delicious Chinese and typical Cantonese dishes, the portions are also very large for those with a sweet tooth.The service is top notch and the waiters are very attentive. Not to be missed if you are passing through San Diego.
