Luscious Dumplings - Michelin Bib Gourmand

Tried the spicy beef noodles, pan fried pork dumplings and the chicken chili oil dumplings. Everything was delicious! The chicken dumplings in chili oil sauce surprised me and were my fave. The noodles were cooked to perfection, beef was tender, soup not too spicy, but flavorful. What I also love about this place is that you order with a barcode and get your own drinks and utensils. You don’t get hounded by a server every few min asking how your meal is going. This is a typical style for many Asian restaurants overseas which I miss.

I really enjoyed it! Especially the steam bao, should be freshly made by them, not just some premade food like other restaurants. Highly recommend! Hope the standards will be maintained as years go by!

We ate at Luscious Dumplings when we visited San Diego and we were impressed with both the food and the service. They even gave our toddler a treat. We appreciate the kind gesture.

Luscious Dumplings is a standout local gem. The beef noodle soup and cucumber salad are absolute must-tries—portions are generous, the food arrives fast, and the flavors are spot on. ​What truly sets this place apart is the hospitality. We arrived 10 minutes before closing on a Friday, expecting to take our food to go. Instead, Gilbert greeted us with incredible kindness and encouraged us to dine in. He cleared a table immediately and made us feel completely welcome, ensuring we never felt rushed despite the late hour. ​Top-tier food paired with genuine, gracious service. Highly recommended.

First time visited this place. Service was very good and they helped us with any questions and recommendations . Definitely must try place. Food was tasty and flavorful.
