    Fried octopus
    Gilbert C.

    Had to make a trip out here since we were already in the area, as we usually don't drive this far north unless we're leaving San Diego. I was excited to try One More Bite Dumpling House since it's a newer spot, and it definitely delivered on a few dishes. The biggest surprise of the meal was the fried octopus. I love when restaurants include the octopus legs because they get extra crispy, and this version was excellent. The seasoning had a nice kick without being overly salty, so you could still really taste the octopus itself. We also ordered the seasonal dumpling sampler, which featured different flavors for each dumpling. My favorite was the black truffle--it had a rich flavor without being overpowering. Of course, we had to try the crab xiao long bao as well. The dumplings were medium-sized, and the filling and soup were both flavorful. I'd give them a solid 4/5. Another standout was the fried pork with rice. The portion was huge, with plenty of both meat and rice. Pro tip: order the pork and rice combo instead of the pork by itself because they give you a generous serving of rice. The staff was friendly and efficient, taking the time to explain how the ordering process worked. We also had a mix-up with one of our dishes, and they fixed the issue quickly without any hassle. The restaurant was pretty busy around 5 PM, but service remained fast throughout our visit. It was full of families ranging from teens to grandmas and grandpas. It wasn't too loud and there was plenty of space If it weren't for the drive, this place would definitely make it into our regular dumpling rotation. Whenever we're back in the area, we'd happily stop by again.

    Very spacious and also you get to see chef making dumplings

    Ordered the pork spicy wontons. Very delicious! It's a bit expensive but overall is pretty good and satisfied my taste bud. Will come back to try out other dishes!

    Yummy

    No longer need to make the drive to La Jolla and valet park for xlbs. One More Bite Dumpling House serves up delicious dumplings without a reservation or need to wait in a long line to be seated. The dining area is clean and comfy. Service is great. My only gripe is that they never answer the phone! If you're craving Chinese Food and find yourself in the San Marcos Area, give this place a try. Thank me later.

    After spending our Sunday morning enjoying Discovery Lake and hiking its trails, we decided to have lunch at the nearby Campus Pointe II Plaza. There were many dining options on site, and ultimately we decided on One More Bite after seeing a cook making dumplings behind a glass wall, assuring us they were authentic and the dumplings were not from stores. The restaurant, with its modern Asian décor, was clean and quite spacious, with seating for 70+ guests. The friendly staff guided us to our table and brough water and menu right away. After browsing its extensive menu, we ordered the following dishes: Popcorn Fried Chicken: The chicken pieces were lightly battered, tasty, crispy, and mildly spicy. Pork Xiao Long Bao: This is the quintessential dish of any dumpling house and theirs was spot on. The delicate outer wrap was flawlessly steamed without any tearing, perfectly trapping the juicy broth inside. The filling was well seasoned and with very nice texture. Boiled Shrimp and Pork Dumplings: The outer layers were not soggy or overly boiled, retaining its firm but delicate texture. The filling was savory and a tad sweet. Shrimp and Pork Wonton Soup with Udon: The broth was light but flavorful, with a hint of pleasant white pepper aroma. The thick udon noodles were nicely al dente. The wontons, with savory filling, had slightly thick wraps. Rainbow Vegetable Pan Fried Dumplings: The colorful wraps really accentuated these dumplings. The outer layer had a nice firmness on top and a beautifully crispy bottom. The well minced filling was lightly seasoned and soft. Brown Sugar Rice Cakes: The rice cakes were quickly fried, creating a golden outer layer and pleasantly chewy inside. The drizzled brown sugar provided the sweet kick. Coconut Cream Balls: The fried outer layer was crunchy, and the runny coconut cream inside was not overly sweet. Overall, it was a very enjoyable lunch experience.

    Vegetable buns (fits in the palm of your hand)

    Pretty good buns and dumplings, all made from scratch! Prices are reasonable, the food was made quickly, and the servers were very polite. Pork dumplings - of the three items we got, this is the one that I'd get again. Because there was some soup in them, it kind of reminded me a cross between xiao long bao and dumplings. Plump, juicy, tender, and well seasoned Vegetable dumplings - I appreciated that the green color of the wonton wrappers is all natural! Filling was good, but I think we got an outlier batch ... very little filling, so we ended up stuffing more veggies in them after we took a bite. A couple wontons were broken. Vegetable bao - soft and pillowy; the filling reminded me exactly of what I had growing up! Again, just wish there was more filling! All in all, pretty good place if you're looking for buns and dumplings!

    This Chinese restaurant was pretty good/impressive for north San Diego location! The interior is decorated nicely when you walk in. It's cute and modern with nice Asian decor (xiao long bao basket covers and Chinese scripts on the ceilings). Their xiao long bao was delicious with thicker outside skin texture. The cucumber appetizer was interesting (I had never had cucumber salad like this - it wasn't the typical ones you see with the sesame oil/chili/garlic - it was mostly cucumbers drenched in what seemed like sugar and soy sauce). Also got the udon veggies and broccoli with shrimp. The portions are quite large and generous. Sauce/flavor profile for veggie udons and brocolli were quite similar. Would come back here again! Service was good too.

    One More Bite Dumpling House is worth the drive to San Marcos. This popular dining destination has a very spacious inside and great for families or groups. The ambiance is nice, it is decorated appropriately with many Asian colors and designs. The customer service is good and attentive, but be mindful of a slight language barrier , so it's good to be patient with translations. I personally like this because this leans to the authenticity of the staff & establishment. Their menu is diverse with a large variety of foods to choose from and options that have varying price ranges. If you want dumplings, salt & pepper chicken, wontons, veggies or noodles, then you'll like the choices. One thing to be said is that when it's peak hours, this place can get super busy and sometimes service can be lacking. Beware of long wait times. But this is the case with most popular dining destinations. One aspect of One More Bite is that the plaza that they are located in has MINIMAL parking options. To make matters worse, there's even difficulty finding street parking outside too. But overall, I like One More Bite Dumpling House and they are worth the trip if in the San Marcos area.

    Went here due to the high reviews and didn't feel it was warranted. The dumplings were super good. I got some kind of fruit tea, which was also really good. The chicken and brocolli were okay at best. The chicken tasted a bit chewy tho. The cucumber salad was not what I was used to as it was drenched in soy sauce. It wasn't that good. The place is beautifully decorated in the front but the rest is rather plain. The fountain is a really nice touch. And the man making the dumplings does so in the front. The staff were all really nice and helpful.

    Spicy popcorn chicken

    Delicious handmade dumplings made in site. Nice thin delicate Xiao long bao wrappers stuffed with well seasoned meat. The Shrimp Shu Mai packed with plump sweet shrimp topped with roe. Crisp, sweet Persian cucumber salad in vinegar was a refreshing palate cleanser. Wonderful surprise in an off the beaten path, tiny shopping center.

    Pork chop over fried rice
    Perla R.

    I tried this place for dinner & it was really good! We ordered the scallion pancake, beef udon noodles, pork fried rice, spicy wontons & fried chicken wings. The scallion pancake was yummy as well as the fried rice very simple and delicious! The chicken wings were different they had a spice sprinkled on them that had a distinct flavor but not bad and the noodles were amazing! I'll definitely be back to try more items

    Date of Visit: 3.7.2026 Location: Small mall area next to residential area Cuisine Type: American Dim Sum Vibe: Clean and got many traditional Chinese Elements, Open Kitchen You can watch the XLB making Cost: ~$20-$30 Service: Decent, depending on the staff you may need to slow down a bit due to a language barrier Food/Rating - 4/5- Ok so I don't think the food quality wise is bad but for a dim sum place I think it is heavily americanized the most exotic or unique thing is probably the sticky rice. It's like Ding Tai Fung with more Dim Sumesque options. Everything was made well but its like basic you shouldn't expect more than what it is. I think from a price perspective it is more expensive than traditional dim sum but it is cheaper than Ding Tai Fung. Overall Thoughts: Best Thing I ate: Ok the Ham Sui Gok (Fried Glutinous Rice Dumplings) had a really good fry that was delicious Crispy outside soft inside with a typical ground pork filling Something to Improve: Nothing really, I think you guys are killing it with the intended purpose of your store and clientele. Keep up the quality!

    We came here for dinner on a Monday evening. The business was steady here. We didn't have to wait to be seated. We ordered the Rainbow Vegetable dumplings, fried udon noodles, pan fried dumplings, and we couldn't forget , the XLB. All the food arrived to the table at a reasonable time. It was all delicious. They also have boba if you need a sweet drink. Parking was plenty. We will definitely return here again.

As noted by its name, this place served a fusion of Chinese and Korean cuisines. Their Encinitas location took over what used to be a roadside diner along N Coast Hwy 101. The seating capacity was less than 40 people which included a few high-top counter spots. At my last visit, I came for a late dinner before their closing time. A large menu was posted on the wall behind the service counter that listed about two dozen food offerings. The items seemed to be comfort food like pot stickers, spring rolls, fried rice, and chicken wings but flavored with unique combinations of seasonings and spices. I started my meal with the Marinated Beef Tri-Tip Skewers which came as a set of three and a Chinese mustard for dipping. The meat was very tender and well-seasoned. I also ordered the Cumin Lamb Stir Fry which the cashier said was medium spicy. After tasting a couple of bites of the noodles from the serving bowl, I agreed that the heat level was moderate, even for my palate. I thought the portion size should have been more for the price. That was my main criticism for both items, otherwise the food was solid for an Asian fusion eatery.
