    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Vegetable buns (fits in the palm of your hand)
    Carlin T.

    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!

    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.

    Spicy popcorn chicken
    Gaile C.

    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.

    Stephanie T.

    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.

    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.

    Spicy pork and shrimp wontons Thai
    Cay P.

    We got here right before dinner rush! We're seated right away. For drinks we ordered the Thai tea, brown sugar milk tea and hot tea. The teas are premade in pitchers. The hot tea was a tea packet. I probably won't order the hot tea again. They didn't have any ceramic mugs which was kind of a bummer. For food we ordered the following: XLB soup dumplings 8/10! Nice flavor Crispy potstickers 10/10! This was my fave and MUST order. I loved the flavor of the filling, the crispy bottom and the dipping sauce. Spicy shrimp and pork wontons 8/10! Perfect spiciness for me. Beef udon noodles good but not something I'd care to order again. Would rather try a dim sum or order another type of dumpling. Flavor was good and nice to order if you're looking for a beef or noodle dish. Ambiance is nice! We were seated in a booth which was very comfy. I love the cutlery and sauce dishes they have at the table. It's so pretty inside. Bathrooms are clean. Love the decorations and water wall!

    Nice and airy interior with high ceiling, casual decor with a few booth seating. Friendly and attentive service. Welcoming atmosphere for solo customers as well. Two of us ordered and shared pork soup dumplings (8 per order), which were delicious with fresh cut ginger garnish. We also had shrimp dumplings and sticky rice with chicken wrapped in a leaf. Everything was delicious! Beyond expectations! The black vinegar, soy sauce and hot chili oil were on the table. I liked black vinegar especially that added more flavor to the food. The dumplings and the sticky rice were filling, and for $25 per person including everything, we were full. Good deal. The only thing is that the parking is very limited in the small mall. If you are lucky, you may be able to find a spot, if not, you can try your luck on the street right in front. If you can find any parking, this is a great place.

    Lots of food,  rice was yummy and so we're the dumplings

The paper menu is too overwhelming with no photos. They serve Shanghainese cuisine. It's great that they offer fresh made dumplings, original dishes and their specialty dishes. We ordered one from each section. Got fried rice, chow mein, ribs, egg plant, Shanghai grilled pork buns, XLB, and pork dumplings. Side of rice is $1. The egg plant would be my favorite dish. They offer three options, we got the one with mushrooms. First time no wait time. The second time we added our name to the tablet. They told us parties of 6 automatically taps on 18% but when I got the tab, that wasn't the case. Parking is hard to come by in this plaza. First two hours free.

Garlic String Beans 10/10: Sometimes it can be lacking flavor, but this time it was perfectly garlicky and savory. Definitely a must-order. Pork Chops 10/10: Super flavorful and pairs so well with either rice or noodles. The staff is always kind, service is quick, and overall this place is definitely on my list for good Chinese food!

    We had been to Chef Zhu many times since their opening and for the first couple years I have to say…read moretheir quality and taste were consistently great--you could trust you'd have excellent Chinese food here (5 stars initially--my original food photos). However, the past 2 visits this month (May 2026), we noticed the dishes had way too much oil and some of the items were different in the way they were prepared (like wine chicken). The last visit on a Sunday, one of our guests asked the staff if the chef had changed and it turns out that the Original Chef Zhu was taking a break and not working (or possibly retired?). We also noticed some of the staff were different/new employees that we didn't recognize. I think they may have changed ownership or at least the original chef was not there. I am hoping it was temporary because it was clearly different than before. ------TL;DR----- Pros: large menu, easy parking, lots of tables so usually not a long wait, staff are friendly Cons: inconsistent dishes possibly suggesting a change in the chef (temporary or for good, not sure) Bottom Line: ask for much less oil (half oil) or none (even when we asked for less oil it was swimming in oil), hopefully the original chef returns
