This is a gem of a place. First of they have the absolute most adorable little server name Summer. She probably doesn’t know her multiplication table yet but can make you the best dumplings recommendations. Go out of your way to pay this place a visit.

This cute, family-owned restaurant was a delightful find during our San Diego trip. We tried the Green Chive with Shrimp & Pork Dumplings, Green Pepper with Pork Dumplings, Carrot with Beef Dumplings, Zucchini & Egg with Shrimp Dumplings, and Scallop with Shrimp & Pork Dumplings. All the dumplings are freshly handmade and cooked. It is surprising that each one was delicious and authentic, with the chive and pork dumplings reminding me of my mom’s homemade version.
Beyond the dumplings, their appetizers are excellent. We ordered the Rougamo on every visit, and I especially enjoyed the beef noodle soup—well-balanced flavors and gentle on the stomach. A bonus: their fruit tea is fantastic, with the mango jasmine tea being my favorite.
This charming spot truly saved me, offering warm, easily digestible meals. It’s a pity we couldn’t try more dishes before leaving. Though the owner may get busy during rush hours, the food is worth the wait. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting San Diego—you’re sure to love it!

Came to this family owned little restaurant for dinner. Owner’s little daughter took our orders, she’s really cute. We ordered the beef noodle soup and steamed chives pork and shrimp dumplings to share. As a family owned restaurant, you have to be prepared to wait for your food, not a big kitchen. But it’s definitely worth waiting. The beef noodle soup was very tasty. The noodles were soft and the beef was tender and flavoured. My husband typically liked the dumplings, very juicy and fresh. We enjoyed our dinner there and certainly will be back. Make sure you come early as there’re limited seats in the restaurant. Highly recommend!

Some of the best dumplings I've ever had. You can see them making them from scratch in the restaurant. They taste amazing, perfectly juicy with a perfectly thick skin and genuine filling. The service is also great; the owner is super friendly. Their black bean noodles were also wonderful, it was cool to have them in a style I wasn't familiar with and it tasted great. Definitely a go-to for future occasions. Will recommend to everyone!

10/10: dumplings made with love and goodness. Thank you
Very good, freshly made food, family run. The beef and carrots dumplings and cucumber with wood ear mushroom salad were great, and another person said her noodles soup was delicious.

Through all my travels, I have never encountered a restaurant like this. These are freshly made dumplings of the highest quality. The vast majority of places order their dumplings from a supplier and all taste the same. It’s very obvious that Meet Dumpling makes their own.
Absolute gem. Every time I am in SD, I come here as often as I can.

This cute little family owned place has amazing food and great service. We tried the “hamburger” appetizer that was recommended by the owners daughter. I would never have picked it off the menu but it was delicious! Savory, juicy, flavorful and with a great crunchy “bun”. The dumplings we chose were the pork with cabbage and the beef with carrot. I truly can’t say which I liked more. Paired with Jasmine tea, I spent the evening boring how happy my tummy was after such a delicious and affordable meal. Highly recommended!
