Los Angeles’ Michelin-recognized Luscious Dumplings Chinese restaurant is set to open its first San Diego location. Luscious Dumplings was first founded in San Gabriel, CA, in 2001 by husband-and-wife Alan Lam and Grace Li, and has since grown to include branches in Monrovia, CA, and Philadelphia. The family business saw further expansion when their daughter Michelle Wu and her husband opened the Monrovia outpost in 2012 and later introduced Mason’s Dumpling Shop in Highland Park in 2018. This sister brand has also spread to Colorado, with locations in Aurora, Boulder, and Belham. Another Luscious Dumplings is planned for Beverly Hills, reflecting their ongoing expansion.
