If you were to ask me yesterday where the best dumplings in San Diego were, I'd just say there are a couple of places that are okay, but no strong endorsements. Meet Dumpling has completely changed that for me; they are the real deal.
This family is from Northeast China, and in China their area is famous for being 水饺 (boiled dumpling) masters. Everything we tried was "the best" (read, our favorite) version of that dish that we've had in San Diego, and any one of them would have been top tier even back in China. The flavors here are perfectly balanced, the ingredients are high quality and fresh, and you can tell the owners and staff put incredible care and a huge amount of work into this place. Their daughter is also super cute and sassy! I still haven't beaten her in Uno but I'll be trying again soon.

This is probably one of the best dumpling places I've ever been to.
Let me just preface this.
It's a tiny no frills small menu dumpling spot with very limited options.
If that's not what you're looking for move along.
There is one person that works here and he is the kindest quirkiest dumpling man I've ever seen.
We ordered the beef noodle soup to start.
As soon as I smelled it I knew it was going to be amazing and it was.
We followed that up with two different types of chicken dumplings and both were excellent we couldn't even finish it.
I can't wait to come back and try more stuff.

It’s a small little place.
But it is totally worth it.
I was in town for a couple of days for work and I really wanted to give it a try.
The dumplings were the best dumplings I’ve ever had outside of Beijing.
The scallion pancakes were fantastic and the celery and peanuts were fantastic.
1000% if you’re looking for a really solid meal that is remarkable.
Go here.
