Update review -Took my mom to Ju Feng Yuan Dumpling Cafe, and she loved it! The pork & shrimp potstickers were juicy and flavorful, and the wontons in chili oil had a bolder kick than DTF’s. The cumin lamb was aromatic, though my mom thought it was slightly overcooked, and the sweet & sour fish was a surprise favorite—perfectly balanced and appetizing. Service was friendly, and I learned their colorful soup dumplings are naturally dyed. Can’t wait to come back on the weekend to try their giant soup dumpling with a straw! Previous review - I’m very impressed by this Chinese restaurant! It’s right next to the barre studio where I’ve been going for almost a year. They are absolutely busier and more popular than I thought. It was almost full on a rainy Wednesday night. Their foods are very good. We had their signature colorful Xiaolongbao and Beef warp and a Mopo Tofu. Everything is delicious and authentic. I will totally come back to try other items.

One of the best dumpling restaurants! Very substantial menu with dumplings, noodles, and authentic Chinese dishes. In addition to XLB, we enjoyed the sweet and sour pork, honey walnut shrimp, and spicy chicken. Haven’t had a bad dish here. Once sat down, the waiter will hand you an iPad to order. This is very efficient. The orders go into the kitchen immediately. Nice decoration with wall murals depicting Chinese cuisine. This is our 4th visit and will definitely continue to dine there.

I cannot describe in words how amazing this place is. The service was good, food was amazing, and wait time wasn't long! I would highly recommend trying the soup dumplings and the pig custard dessert as those were my favorites. 10/10 highly recommend.

Awesome food. Saw Ju Feng Yuan on social media and since we love noodles and dumplings we’d try it. It’s a busy place and a bit noisy but the service was good. We had the salted duck yoke dumplings, cumin land and pork spare ribs and the taste did not disappoint! If you like quality Chinese then try Ju Feng Yuan

The restaurant is very small and by the timing of the kitchen I’m guessing the kitchen is even smaller. But wait— The food is 5 stars. So for that reason alone I would come back. It’s best to go earlier to beat the rush as food will take longer to arrive especially for a large party. The kitchen timing for food is on the slower side and dishes come out one at a time. So it’s not the fastest food service which doesn’t help if your party is hungry or has kids, which our party was and we had kids. The food was so slow that I didn’t have time to take pictures of all the dishes as we were hungry and devoured every dish that arrived at the table. The dumplings and XLB were all so delicious. The food is very authentic. I appreciate that they give every table a tablet to order our own dishes, as the tablet has images of all the food so it’s hard to mess up your own order. Conclusion, I would come again with 1 person max, for take out and during a non-busy time.

Thank Buddha this place isn’t halal friendly! Great decor and super clean! Super cool tablet thing that lists all the ingredients so that you know what you are ordering and lets you place your order instead of having to interrogate the server staff, I might have to steal this idea! Almost excellence all across the board bomb! Best place for dumplings in north San Diego! Forget din tai fung! Pricey but so worth it, come on folks this is a million dollar and above housing area, this ain’t china no more, if you going to dine in America, tip like Americans. (That means 20 percent and above) Skip the beef noodle soup (bland and beef is tough) can’t seem to find a place that gets it right anywhere here in San Diego and skip the pork spare ribs it’s all bones esssentially. I’ve referred over 100 people to this place and will continue so for dumplings! Dumplings only, alright ?! Oh oh and the green onion pancake, so so crispy, the rich man’s rice. Didn’t get to try the beef roll because it was unavailable. Y’all better pray that this place ain’t busy when you pull up. Cheers! Oh yeah also, they only serve their XL xiao long bao( extra large soup dumpling) during dinner hours.

Went here on Sunday with my friends for brunch, we ordered a bunch of classic dumplings from steamed to pan-fried, fried rice, chow mein, and orange chicken. Everything tasted really good and fresh, and very sophisticated. You may not get overpowering salt and sugar, here, but everything is very well-done and easy on the palate. The team here is the nicest that I have ever met, they really go above and beyond to ensure you have a pleasant experience. I'm in customer service and am very hard to impress, but they knocked this one out of the ballpark. I would go back here for the food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Everything was delicious that we ate. Probably the best honey walnut shrimp I've ever had.
