Palm Springs – Palm Desert, CA

Somebody must’ve been listening to the many of us who have been pining for a new Chinese restaurant in the Coachella Valley, because there is not just one, but two dim sum spots opening in both Palm Springs and Palm Desert.

First Location Planned for Palm Desert

That’s right, if you haven’t heard, you’ve read it here first. One More Bite Dumpling House is under construction but will be opening its doors along Highway 111 in Palm Desert. The restaurant introduces a dedicated dumpling and dim sum concept to a part of the valley where options for traditional Chinese small plates have historically been limited.

Second Location Planned for Downtown Palm Springs

The expansion doesn’t stop there. A second location for One More Bite Dumpling House is set to open in the heart of downtown Palm Springs at the corner of Palm Canyon Drive and East Tahquitz Canyon Way, next to El Patron.

The highly visible location places the restaurant in one of the city’s busiest dining corridors, surrounded by shops, nightlife, and a steady flow of both tourists and locals.

Menu Highlights Traditional Dumplings and Shareable Plates

According to the restaurant’s website, ombdumpling.com, One More Bite Dumpling House with existing locations in Loma Linda, Wildomar, San Marcos, and Chino, focuses on handmade dumplings and classic dim sum dishes. Offerings include soup dumplings, pork and chive dumplings, shrimp dumplings, and pan-fried potstickers, along with noodle dishes, rice plates, and other shareable items.

The format emphasizes casual dining and small plates, encouraging groups to sample multiple dishes in a single sitting.

Answering the Coachella Valley’s Chinese Cuisine Craving

For years, Coachella Valley residents have noted the lack of dedicated dim sum restaurants, often traveling outside the region for a more traditional experience. The arrival of One More Bite Dumpling House in both Palm Desert and Palm Springs reflects a growing demand for more diverse and authentic global cuisine locally.
