First time dining in although I have ordered their takeout before in the past and only tried their dumplings. So glad that they are open for dining in as well now. The dumplings are really fresh and one can easily taste the difference between their house made ones and the frozen ones you get in the supermarket. We wolfed down two plates of dumplings - house special which contains shrimp inside and pork/chives one. The entree dish was rather disappointing and I had a bad tummy ache after the meal. We ordered this sweet and spicy sauce beef dish that was under chef recommendations section but it was way too hard and caramelized that we could not finish most of it. We took it home but just tossed it away anyway. Just order their dumplings next time!

I was impressed! We ordered takeout, and the food was still pretty warm. We got the General Tso's Chicken, the crispy beef, and chicken & cilantro dumplings. All of the food was super fresh!! The crispy beef had a tangy flavor, and actually was crispy. The vegetables were a great accompaniment. The chicken and cilantro dumplings had a great flavor, and the spicy sauce was the perfect addition. The general tso's was overall good but could have been more flavorful/crispy. The portions were also pretty generous! I would definitely order again!

Wow, what has changed in the kitchen? Dumplings and Beyond has been my go-to Chinese place, but tonight the food was really sub-par. We threw away the duck (way too salty) and ma po tofu (mushy). The dumplings were okay but they’re usually amazing. I sure hope it’s just an off night and not a permanent change.

Ordered take out from here and was really happy with everything I got for the most part. Would definitely recommend here especially since Chinese food, specifically, can be so hit or miss! The only thing I would say was a bummer was the xiao dumplings (soup dumplings) the soup had literally all absorbed or spilled out of the dumplings which really is not their fault... they don't travel well in general and our door dasher took over an hour to deliver (separate issue haha). Otherwise got a pretty good array of things and were all really good. The only reason I took a star off is I did put medium spicy on everything ordered and literally the only thing remotely spicy was the ma po tofu. But otherwise the beef chow foon, chicken fried rice, xioa dumplings (even though the soup had disappeared) , spicy dumplings and mapo tofu I ordered were all flavorful and yummy! Would def order from here again.... Hopefully with a different delivery person haha

Dumplings and noodles are 5 stars!!!! But I got a shrimp dish for the first time and they were old. Chicken dishes are fine. Go here for the dumplings!!!

Stopped here for dinner. Had soup dumplings and chicken and cilantro dumplings. Both were just great! Freshly made and flavourful. They were gone before I remembered to make pictures. Will definitely be back, and memorize this place for future visits.

Got the xia long bao dumplings (Chinese soup dumplings) via Uber eats and they were such good soul food! Perfect light lunch!

Authentic Chinese dumplings - best in town! Casual atmosphere. Definitely going back!
These are possibly my favorite takeout dumplings in DC. Highly recommend all the dumplings, but specifically the treasure delight (has pork) and shrimp & chives. I always get scallion pancakes and beef lo mein here too. So good!

Surprisingly quiet but we were eating early. Have as many tables as they can fit into the space so when it is full, it is full. Our group started with seaweed salad, hot and sour soup, and chicken and corn soup. Only negative was chicken and corn soup was so very hot in temperature it took time to cool to enjoy. Followed with tea and three kinds of (pan fried) dumplings: vegetable; shrimp with chives; and fish with cilantro. Flavors were good and plenty of dumplings (12 per serving?) but veg were very plain (broccoli) and may have benefitted from an "and" as the others did. (Perhaps a bit of ginger?). Waiter kept our water glasses full without asking. Second time here. I will keep coming back!

Love the dumplings. Delivery or carry out has been on point over the years. A top choice for dumplings and more.
I actually liked it. I'm a dumpling lover and I liked the dumplings. It's small but charming. We ordered so many dumplings which came sort of quickly. The texture was good and inside was pure juice. The service was decent. The other things they had like tofu and pad su were really good. It might've been a one time stop but it was decently good.
