“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

“The food was very tasty and quality of service was excellent“

“I came from the zoo and wanted to sit down for some lunch. We got the Peking Duck and we’re not disappointed. Order a hot tea, the tea service is beautiful. We tried Beef and Vegetable Dumplings, they were juicy and rich, and earned a high recommendation. We were delighted we chose Han Palace it is beautiful and welcoming with superb service.“

“This all-you-can-eat Chinese spot did not disappoint. The food was hot, fresh, and full of flavor—everything from the dumplings to the lo mein hit the spot. The bottomless lemon drops? Dangerous in the best way—sweet, smooth, and just strong enough to keep the good vibes flowing.

The ambience and atmosphere were perfect—chill lighting, good music, and a cozy, inviting feel. And the customer service was top-tier—everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely a fun spot to eat, drink, and enjoy for daytime or night. Already planning my next visit!“

“Best authentic Shanghai soup dumpling in town! Super delicious and healthy!“

“The most affordable, fast and tasty lunch option in the area. It’s a family-owned spot with great lunch specials and options for vegetarians. Highly recommend. It’s more of a takeout spot, but they have a few seats if you need to eat lunch in house“

“Had a great time here! The chicken soup dumplings are delicious and I love the Tous le Jours bakery (especially their ube donuts baby choux). The inside is chill, with cute seating and a cafeteria hall seating. The guard at the door is always friendly and helpful. The only downside is that sometimes the other food items can be a bit average. Otherwise, everything is great! Will definitely continue returning.“

“This place is awesome I don’t understand why it doesn’t have a higher rating. We had some of the juiciest soup dumplings I’ve ever had, perfect white rice with salt and pepper tofu and a Tsingtao beer. It is a high quality place with great food, good atmosphere and great service.“

“My coworker brought me to Ballston Quarter after our meeting for lunch before I flew out. The overall food court has some great eats but I love me some dumplings. Found Dumpling District and was pleased that it offered the menu in both English and Chinese, that’s how you know it’s legit! The gentleman was very friendly, informative, and he also spoke Cantonese which I don’t see often in my hometown of Raleigh. The soup dumplings had great flavor and temperature while the fried dumplings had just the right proportion of filling to wrap. On top of that, the house fried rice had great wok hei (for those Chinese/Canto speakers). I will definitely go back the next time I am in town!“

“So good! Loved everything and service was great“

“I happened to be in the shopping center and I needed something for dinner. I have always wanted to try them but never got the chance. They were great! Loved the Peking Duck dumpling, and my partner loved the Bulgogi Dumpling. I also ordered the Teriyaki Chicken as a recommendation, and it all did not disappoint. It reminded me of New York Chinatown. Next time... soup dumplings! There are lots of good veggie options, too. All I was missing was my boba tea, and I would have been set. Lots of great choices!“

“They always treat you like family.“

“Dim sum yum“

“The food was good. Avoid the beef spare rub entre but definitely get pan fried noodles with Seafood and the Duck dishes. Dim sum is also tasty!!“

“Came to this place on a rainy day because I firmly believe there is no better comfort food during this time than Chinese food. I walked into this large restaurant. The place was pretty empty which is unfortunate because the food is BANGIN’. The portion sizes are insanely big! I got the Hunan Beef which was tender and delicious. My friend got the tofu rice noodles which could have fed a family of four lol!

Definitely recommend to give this place a try! Our server was adorable and she made sure we were comfortable and had a great time!“

“This was a first-time don't-know-what-to-do kind of visit. And I LOVE IT. There was quick, excellent service to match the flavorful options for entrees and sides. I've definitely been missing out on this "pearl" located only minutes from Arlington.“
