"Drop in from morning to night to find family-owned restaurant Dumpling Inn & Shanghai Saloon bustling with families, bar patrons, and friends. Half the restaurant is geared towards sit-down meals, while the adjoining saloon area paying homage to 1920s Shanghai glam, is great for an excellent night out with imaginative cocktails, a whiskey flight that includes a dram of their own label, and a vast selection of local beers. Diners can find a wide variety of dumplings, including pork, beef curry, fish, and chives, which can be ordered fried, boiled, or steamed. Don’t skip the soup dumplings. Also, try the braised duck noodle soup, a recipe that chef Phat Vuong brought over from his former restaurant, Minh Ky, in City Heights." - Helen I. Hwang
"This homegrown Convoy Street establishment focuses on comfort cuisine. It’s hard to go wrong with any variation of the tasty morsels of dumplings on offer; boiled, steamed, or pan-fried are all good choices. Chef Phat Vuong has also added his stellar braised duck noodle soup to the lunch menu. Choose a drink from their extensive list of craft beers or sip cocktails from the bar at the 1920s-style Shanghai Saloon." - Helen I. Hwang
"Sage the Day sounds like the command you might give at the end of a particularly noxious shift at work, and the drink of the same name served up at this Kearny Mesa classic can help: It’s a whiskey sour at heart, with the added flavor of a sage-infused simple syrup. It makes for a self-help one-two when paired with the Chinese comfort food the Inn has been known for over almost three decades of operation — comfort, then cleanse." - Vox Creative
"One of the San Diego eateries currently preparing and delivering meals." - Candice Woo
