    Wow...very impressed with the quality and quantity of food. Everything we tried was delicious, flavorful, not too salty and the ingredients complemented each other superbly !!! We ordered the Pork Wonton In Chili-excellent flavor although the wontons were a little chewy-4 Stars. Second was the Shrimp fried rice with plenty of shrimp-5 Stars. Third was the Pork Spareribs-excellent flavor but a little over cooked/fried-4 Stars. Fourth was the Sautéed Spinach with Garlic-they nailed it-5 Stars and finally the Eggplant with Garlic-fantastic-5 Stars. We were served by very kind and attentive Joe and supported by Lawrence. Highly recommend this place for not only the great food but free parking and clean restrooms. We did go on a weekday evening...I've heard from friends that there is usually quite a long wait on the weekends...Enjoy !'n

    Pork Wonton in Chili Oil (8 Pieces) / 猪肉抄手
    Stephanie K.

    Been wanting to come here for a while and SO glad we finally did! First, the staff here are super friendly and attentive. Ordering is done via an ipad at the table but they're available for any menu questions and quick with water refills. Food is SO GOOD. You can really tell the dumpling wrappers (for dumplings, xiao long bao, and wontons) are handmade. They're more springy and al dente and beautifully wrapped. We ordered a ton of food and everything was really tasty I didn't react fast enough with photos. Xiao long bao are a MUST - and you gotta enjoy it with the vinegar and ginger! The cucumber salad is WAY better than ding tai fung's in both taste, texture, and portion! Chili oil wontons were big and deliciously fragrant, not spicy. Pan fried pork buns were crispy on the bottom with a soft and pillowy bread and juicy meat filling. We also got the combination fried rice which was beautifully golden eggy and full of meat & shrimp. The green beans were flavorful and not overly oily. Fried chicken wings were one of my favorites! Last but not least we also ordered the chonqing spicy chicken - not too spicy, full of numbing peppercorn goodness, fried lightly and very criispy. The restaurant is well decorated and clean, very spacious and good for groups. There's a cute gazebo table right at the front too. Plenty of parking in the plaza lot. . A great place for authentic Chinese food. Will definitely be returning!

    Tried Ju Feng Dumpling Cafe for a late lunch on a Sunday and was surprised we were seated pretty quickly considering how packed the restaurant was. One thing we really liked was their ordering system. They leave an iPad at the table so you can browse the menu, place your order, and send it straight to the kitchen. It made everything super easy and efficient. We ordered the combination fried rice, pork potstickers, chicken dumplings, and green beans to share between 5 people. The food was good overall and portions worked well family-style. The potstickers and green beans were definitely the stars of the meal. Busy spot, efficient service, and a solid choice when you're craving dumplings in Poway.

    This dumpling cafe is great! I've been here many times and they are consistent. I love getting their xlb, pork wonton in chili oil, honey walnut shrimp, chow mein, low mein, sautéed green beans, beef chow fun, pork spare ribs. Can't go wrong with any of those! The place is clean and can seat large parties. There is a cute seating right as you walk in. You can somewhat watch the ladies make dumplings and baos from the glass window. The service has been good too even though the servers seem to rotate out. I definitely recommend checking this place out.

    Delicious food! This gem serves up delicious food that's value priced. They even have a stamp card. The more you visit, the more free food you'll earn. Great service, and a clean dining area - give them a try. Their dumplings are on point! Thank me later.

    Beef Roll Pancake / 牛肉卷饼
    Alex E.

    One of the better restaurants in the area, in my opinion. The menu is pretty big so we always try to change it up. Seems like the orders are meant to be shared and the portions are pretty big, so we shared Mongolian Beef Chow Mein, Fried Shrimp and Pork Wontons, and Beef Pancake. Chow Mein tasted great, as did the Beef Roll Pancake. One of the better Beef Roll Pancakes I've had. Ordering is done through iPad and dishes usually come out one of two at a time, as they are ready. Plenty of parking outside. Depending on when you come, expect a long wait as the restaurant isn't that big for as popular as it is.

    Crispy chicken, chili oil wontons, string beans, xiao long bao, beef roll
    Nayoun K.

    On the way through town, we picked up a large order for takeout and were pleasantly surprised by the food for the area. The menu is large and oddly a mix of Taiwanese, Shanghai, and other Chinese dishes. Ordering takeout in person was smooth and the guy working the front was nice and efficient. - xiao long bao 8/10 even despite the 20 min drive home, remained in tact and were nice and juicy - string beans 7/10 good but not the best, had a little too much black bean sauce - pan fried pork dumplings 9/10 wrappers were just a tad thick but juicy and good flavor, were cooked with a starch skirt - chicken wontons in chili oil 4/10 I usually don't get chicken but these wontons were unwieldy and the skin was not the thin wrinkly kind, sauce was weirdly sweet with not enough green onions - popcorn chicken 6/10 bland, wish it had five spice or more seasoning - beef pancake roll 9/10 if you like cilantro as there's a ton inside, this was really interesting here in that it tasted almost like pho

    Cucumber with Garlic / 蒜泥小黄瓜

    Ju Feng Yuan Dumpling Cafe is a small Chinese restaurant in Poway. This spot sits in a fairly rural part of San Diego, but wow was it delicious. I was shocked by how authentic and yummy the food was! Pan Fried Pork Buns are hard to find, and this place makes delicious versions of these Shen Jian Bao. The service was also so friendly. This dish takes a while to make, and they were constantly checking in on me. They even gave some cucumber appetizer to apologize for the wait. I highly recommend checking this spot out. Overall, Ju Feng Yuan has some of the best Chinese food. I cannot recommend enough.

    3/06/2025.  Shrimp & pork wonton noodle soup ($16.55):  standard flavors, 3.5/5 stars
    Jeff F.

    Dumpling restaurants seem to have pop up as many as poké and Korean fried chicken restaurants have. Although, some of the dumplings served here are above average! Shrimp & pork wonton noodle soup ($16.55): this was the weakesr dish we've ordered, as it had standard flavors, 3.5/5 stars. Bbq pork bun ($6.99): soft but a tad dry dough, but the pork was tender with sweet & savory flavors, 3.5/5 stars Pan fried pork dumplings ($13.75): soupy, savory and a crisp but tender dough, 4/5 stars. Popcorn chicken ($9.99): crispy and well-seasoned with salt & pepper, 4/5 stars. Pork spare ribs with garlic ($16.25): must get for savory and crispy pork with pronounced garlic flavor, 5/5 stars! It is a good sign that I'm willing to return here for these items except the wonton soup, and I'd try other dishes.

    Pork Spareribs with Garlic / 蒜香小排
    Nell C.

    Delicious Ju Feng Yuan is authentic Taiwanese cuisine! Service is friendly and welcoming. Ambiance is pleasant and tables are cleaned quickly. I love how each table had a side tissue. I definitely used the tissue when my mode ran from the spicy soup! This made me feel like I was in an Asia cafes. We ordered a variety of dishes and each had its own unique flavorings! Spicy Cucumber Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup Xia Long Bao Spicy Wonton Chinese Spinach Pork Spareribs with Garlic

    Luke Q.

    A clean restaurant with efficient service. The menu includes many Chinese breakfast items as well as dishes from Shanghai such as XLB, fried rice cake and sweet and sour pork rib. All these dishes are well executed especially XLB which has thin skin and multilayered wrinkles that exemplified skills.

    Chicken soup dumpling
    Jake T.

    A really tasty place located in the suburbs. We got many dishes, and I will go over what we ordered. I would highly recommend getting the soup dumplings, and the chongqing chicken. They were both really good and I would definitely get it again. For me, the dumplings in the chilis were a bit too sweet for my liking but I still thought they were made really well. Also, the peanut mochi dumpling was just alright, and if I were to go here again, I would definitely try the chocolate dumpling. Regarding wait time and the line, we went on a weeknight and there was no line for us to enter. Parking was really easy to find and the restaurant was easy to locate. The restaurant was also clean and well maintained. I also liked that there was a tablet for us to make our orders as we please as opposed to waiting for someone to come and take out orders. I will say I wish they refilled our waters more frequently or just gave a big jug to the table. Overall, I would recommend going here, It was good!

    Green Onion Pancake / 葱油饼
    Dan E.

    I visited Ju Feng Yuan in Poway for the first time recently and was really impressed! This Chinese establishment specializes in handmade XiaoLongBao, handmade dumplings, beef noodles, pancakes, and stir-fried entrees. Upon entering I delighted in seeing the adorable smiling dumpling boy character. Despite being in a strip mall, this clean, well decorated restaurant exudes a classy vibe. The tables are elegantly appointed, to include a tablet ordering system. The interface was clear and easy to navigate. Not at all cumbersome and clumsy like those tacky Ziosk machines. My waiter was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. He thoughtfully offered recommendations, and I enjoyed visiting with him. The Green Onion Pancake was outstanding, although oddly served in a basket. My Pork Wontons in Chili Oil were excellent. Not overly spicy, just about perfect for my taste. Among the finer versions of this dish I've had. Overall, I highly recommend and look forward to visiting again soon.

    Is it open? Yelp said it's temporarily closed.

    Yes, I had dinner there last Thursday

    Does this restaurant take reservations?

    I don't think they do. It seems like first come first serve basis. They have a sign in sheet at the front when you get there

    Are any of their soup dumplings vegetarian? This is the first restaurant I've seen that has vegetable Xiao long bao and cheese Xiao long bao but the menu doesn't specify if they still contain meat

    They do have one kind of vegetarian dumplings, but they have quite a selection of other vegetarian options. We've tried many of their vegetarian dishes, and they are quite delicious.

    Is msg used in the dumplings? I have to ask because of a serious medical allergy.

    I can't have MSG either. While I don't get seriously ill, I do get a strange reaction to it in my sinus area. But, I'm not 100% certain, so my advice is that you contact the restaurant directly.

    Do they sell frozen dumplings?

The garlic shrimp with jalapeños had nice flavor, but the shrimp fell short. The light batter would've worked well for a salt-and-pepper dish, but with the sauce, it became pasty. As for the chicken with cashews and the kung pao chicken, both dishes tasted very similar due to the same brown sauce, which unfortunately lacked depth and flavor. Will definitely go back to try other lunch special dishes here.

I see they've revamped the walls upstairs and seem to have added more seatings too. I noticed they have a water dispensary area which is self serve. There's also a QR code for the menu, but I went ahead and searched the menu online and was helped by Tristan when all my friends have already placed their orders. He made sure to ask how I wanted my eggs done and if I wanted to add anything else. But also orders can be placed using the scanned QR if a server hasn't had a chance to check on your table. I ordered the avocado Benedict with hash. My friends ordered the chilaquiles and french toast, and a bunch others that I didn't get to take a pic of. However, I was able to try the chilaquiles, and the steak on that was so flavorful, the tortilla chips were nice and crispy, and the sauce in the bottom had a slight kick to it but with the mix of crema it helped balanced out perfectly. As for the cinnamon brioche french toast, that was one of the best French toast I've had in a while. Nice and crispy but still fluffy in the middle, with that nice cinnamon flavor, topped with whipped cream and berries. As for my order of the avocado Benedict. You can choose how you want your eggs cooked, and I had mine poached. Can def. Add other proteins to the dish with extra charge, but I wanted to keep it as is. The brioche bread was fluffy and buttery like too, it was great for absorbing some of that hollandaise sauce and yolk. My friends also ordered two bottles for mimosas. We had lychee and mango syrup/puree and it gave such a tropical and summer vibe. We also ended our meal with some desserts. We had the cream puff ube, cake choc brownie, and cheesecake caramel apple. My fav. Out of the three, was the cake choc brownie. I think I would be able to eat two of those if I wasn't full. Just loved how the chocolate mousse on the top melted in the mouth, but also that brownie isn't the typical brownie texture. It has a crisp to it. The mousse and crispiness just melts so deliciously together. I should've ordered another for takeout. Service was great despite it looking busy. Food didn't take too long to come out either. But we also did dine in at a decent time too. We had such a good time, especially for my friends who tried it out for the first time. I see they also have a dinner menu now. Maybe we'll come back to try that next time!

Thai Ladle in Poway is tucked into a strip mall that's currently under some parking lot construction, which makes finding a spot a bit tricky. With all the nearby kid activities( like dance studios, kiddie gyms, and such) parking probably depends a lot on the time of day. Inside, the restaurant is small and appears clean, and the atmosphere is pleasant enough. The biggest disappointment is that they don't have a liquor license. No beer, wine, or sake, which would have totally turned me away if I figured it out a little faster. What can I say, a girl needs a Chardonnay sometimes. The food itself was good & reasonably priced ,, but not especially memorable. Basically, solid Thai food, but nothing that stands out. Service was friendly, but very slow. Like, very, very slow. We had to flag our server down each time we needed anything, and since we were the only customers, it was hard to understand why. That said, she was very nice and welcoming. One more downside: flies. The door wasn't propped open, yet there werea few of them buzzing around that we ended up covering our dishes with napkins toward the end of the meal. Overall, Thai Ladle is fine for a casual meal if you're in the area and I hope that my experience is the exception not the rule.
