San Diego Restaurants Serving the Best Chinese Food | Eater San Diego

"This bright, modestly-priced Chinese restaurant, nicknamed JFY Dumpling Cafe or just Dumpling Cafe, features a beautiful wooden pagoda inside its dining room that’s reserved for large parties. Menu highlights include a gorgeous signature xiao long bao basket with seven colorful flavors, including original pork, cheese, crab meat with roe, and black truffle. Other crowd-pleasing dishes range from boiled dumplings (pork or chicken) to shrimp and pineapple fried rice. Come on the weekend for the large soup dumpling that you dive into with a straw; it’s a Tianjin specialty not often found in San Diego." - Helen I. Hwang
