Joyee’s Dumpling House

Came here to check it out because I love dumplings and stereotypically this food is quick, tasty, and well priced.... i litterally got none of these. I got below average tasting soup dumplings that were over $15 after tax and tip, the pork buns sucked and lacked filling. Lastly, the vegetables i ordered lacked salt! Like I realize this place is extremely close to SDSU but if you can manage it just go somewhere else like Diamond Palace... This next bit is personal,but omg, the chairs are the worse! they are hard and will be tough if you're on the wider side which i am! the service was slow when the place was half emtpy... and I'm paying as much as i would at diamond palace! like idk what in the world this place is doing,but you either need to lower the price on your steamed goods or make it taste the price in paying worth it, in addition to make it must faster to get. I shouldn't be waiting 30 minutes for soup dumplings! And for the love of god change your chairs!

So happy there is finally a decent Chinese restaurant opening up in this area!!. I’ve already been there twice. The environment is very clean and pleasant, and the staff is friendly. The food was good as well. The only tiny negative experience was that one of the hot pots we ordered was quite spicy and we couldn’t finish it, so be mindful of the spice level when ordering. It might be a good idea to double-check with the staff. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone craving good Chinese food and a nice dining experience.

I'm so excited to have a super tasty dumpling place in our neighborhood! We had Fried Buns, Shrimp and Pork Shumai, and the Cucumber salad. Everything was fresh and delicious, definitely needed a third person to help us finish but looking forward to leftovers!

Bravo. This place is affordable and the food is incredible. We got the Mongolian beef with bao tacos, insanely good. The soup dumplings were also amazing. mouth watering good. The place is clean and the service is friendly and prompt. No complaints. 5/5

This is the best meal I have ever gotten recently... I ordered the Mongolian beef with bun and lamb hot pot, ngl, I'm with smile every bite. And the place is really comfortable, the waitress(or the manager) had a good attitude I barely write comments in google review, but it's really really good. Absolutely will come back again. I am Chinese. Trust me ;)

The food is amazing—especially the beef noodle soup, which has a fantastic flavor. Plus, it’s super close to my home!

Steamed dumplings tasted homemade and delicious. Mongolian beef with buns was our favorite. Seasoned and cooked well and the black pepper tasted so good with the dish. Fried buns were a huge disappointment. Tasted and smelled like deep fried donuts and the buns was too thick and the inside of it was soggy. Too much bun compared to the pork filling. But the biggest disappointment was the 15% cleaning fee automatically added to all dine in orders. Then the tip options are still added to the receipts. Also we didn’t get an itemized receipt, so if we didn’t see the sign at the register that the fee is included, we wouldn’t have known! We had to pay at the register because we waited for someone to check on our table but they kept passing our table. Anyhow, the cleaning fee is insulting as a customer. Cleaning is part of their job and we’re charged for it separately in a rather discrete way and they still want us to tip. This ridiculous hidden fee + tipping culture needs to stop.

Dumplings here are so good! Got a hot pot, soup dumplings, pork dumplings, egg rolls and cucumber salad. Highly recommend the hot pot and the pork dumplings. Good portion sizes, attentive service, nice space with plenty of seating. Love to have a good Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood!
