Shanghai Bun in San Diego

I visited this place on a Wednesday in the afternoon. The service and atmosphere was wonderful. I was looking to eat some dim sum and the quality is 5 out 10. It tasted like it was heated up from a market bought dumplings. But the egg plant stir fry was yummy and the salt and pepper calamari was awesome!

Oh My God! What an amazing experience. I have had dumplings in the past, but not like this. I had the chance to try four kind of dumplings, shrimp, pork, pork and shrimp, and chicken. The Hot sauce was tasty. I tried the noodles with curry, shrimp, veggies, and meat, great. Tea, just good. Customer service very good. I will be back.

Decent spot to get some flavorful soup dumplings at a fair price!Our entree we got was from the wok chicken with the Szechuan sauce and trimmings. My only complaint was that it was very sweet. However it did come beautifully cooked with a large portion of chicken and wonderfully stir fried veggies.Service left something to be desired, but they got the job done.

Weve been wanting to try this restaurant for the longest time, so finally today we did to celebrate Chinese New Year!Now we know what weve been missing, but not anymore! What a gem hiding in plain sight! A must try for all the locals! But shhhhh

This is a great place to relax and enjoy an excellent dinner! Lorenzo is very attentive and an excellent server. The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD! I highly recommend this place!

My husband and I stopped in for some snacks and beverages after running some errands in the area. Took advantage of their happy hour, and we are so happy we did! Great selection of small plates of dim sum and appetizer selections, and they have a decent beer selection (didnt check out the wine). TVs at the bar, tables inside and out back in a patio area. We will make this a regular stop!

Not bad - prices are very good. Soup dumplings are always good - although the first time I ever got them I found a hair and a piece of bone in the meat. The vegetable egg drop soup is amazing. The cucumber salad was so sweet I could not eat it - tasted like candy. All of dishes Ive had have been satisfying. I was hoping this place would be a cozy little Chinese ambience to enjoy some dumplings but turns out its more like an American sports bar. The dine in food tastes far better than the take out.

Sitting in here right now. Atmosphere is chill, and the food is made to order and absolutely mouth watering. Try the BBQ pork buns!!

This restaurant does not honor gift cards purchased from them. On two separate occasions, I tried to pay for a meal with a gift card, but was told a new payment system meant they could not honor the card. Im surprised this needs to be said, but that is not an acceptable reason.Not honoring gift cards is analogous to stealing: taking peoples money but not providing the services agreed.I was told the owner would get in touch with me to transfer my gift card to the new system. This is unreasonable as I was still forced to pay for two additional meals unexpectedly.

First time visitor - happened during COVID-19. Staff was super friendly and made us feel comfortable choosing seating. Some indoor and some on back outside patio. They took their time to answer all questions and made recommendations. When the food arrived it was absolutely delicious! Fav dish by far is the salt/pepper calamari. Its out of this world and best prepared calamari Ive ever had. We had a small grouo, but ordered a lot to sample as much as possible. I will definitely be coming back again... and again...
