Joyee's Dumpling House-Torrey Highlands

Breakfast food quality has dropped significantly. The Jingdong meatloaf used to be pretty good, but the current one is terrible. The skin couldn't be bitten, and there was a big piece of meat patty inside, full of oil. Sooner or later it will go bankrupt. The fried buns are also the most unpalatable fried buns I have ever tasted since the revision. I can’t even chew them and it stains my teeth. The fried dough sticks are also not crispy and hard to bite. It is better to buy them frozen and bake them in the oven yourself. Obviously there are far fewer people going to eat now.

Wonderful Chinese dumpling restaurant. Nice Chinese restaurant with a bit of everything: dumplings, noodles, rice dishes, etc... All the dishes are delicious. While the restaurant makes tasty dumplings, I am partial to their Fried Rice Noodle with Beef dish. Their pork buns are good, and they have boba! Nice restaurant that serves homemade tasting food.

Food are all frozen food and they may just steam them and serve customers, these food you can easily get in any Asian market. I don’t usually stay in SD and compare to any restaurant in LA, I’m surprised that this restaurant still no been shut down lol. Bun are so melted and Chinese Donut may refried by air fryer. Soy milk has some other kind of weird taste in it, even worse than the soy milk sell in market.

We were insulted by the lady cashier. She asked whether we were going to order take out or dine in. I told her take out. And then she won't let us sit in the empty restaurant and look at the menu. More egregiously, she said it's a special time and if you guys sit down, it's easier for you to spread virus(we are Asian). When I asked her to explain that, she said do you want me to kneel down? Do you want to call the police? Wow. Absolutely the worst service and racist.

They refused to let me eat inside of the restaurant just because they want me to pay a tip before i even eat

Very good Chinese food with very attentive and friendly wait staff. The green bean with beef dish was tender and flavorful. Had lunch there on a Tuesday, and it was very busy, all indoor tables were taken, although there are a few outdoor tables.

Parking: Located ib a strip mall with lots of free parking

Excellent. We had the chicken chow mein and Mongolian beef. The portions are large and the food is tasty! I love their noodles. The chocolate walnut buns are a good dessert.

Joyee Dumpling House offers a versatile menu with lunch and dinner options on weekdays, and special breakfast items on weekends. Located in a cozy plaza, it has both indoor and outdoor seating, providing a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. It's quite popular—I had to wait about 15 minutes for my pick-up order, which speaks to its demand!

One of the highlights is the Jian Bing, a traditional Chinese pancake. You can customize the spice level to your preference and choose from various add-ons like lettuce, pork sausage, and marinated beef. It’s a perfect blend of flavors and textures.

The Henan Fried Buns are another favorite—soft, doughy buns filled with pork, offering a satisfying bite with crispy base. Pair them with soy sauce and vinegar for an extra kick.

I can't wait to return and try their lunch and dinner options next time!

They serve authentic Chinese breakfast menu on weekends. The century egg porridge was a bit bland. I have eaten better. Prices were on the high side.
