Dim Sum Restaurants near Silver Spring, MD

“The place was packed! We had a table for 9 and sat 11, as two were lap babies.

We ordered about 11 dishes and all were fantastic. I had the baby in my lap so couldn't take photos of everything.

But recommend the crab, anything with shrimp in it and the pork bun. Will be back.“

“Amazing dim sum! Been looking for a dim sum place out here for a long time and this is it! Outstanding customer service! Staff speaks a variety of languages which was helpful! 🥟“

“Carryout order. One of only 2 Dim Sum restaurants serving after 3PM in the I270 area. Food has gotten better since about a year ago. Prices are more reasonable than most Dim Sum restaurants. This restaurant has been around a while and has been on the struggling side post covid. If you are in the area it is worth a try.“

“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

“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!“

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

“Excellent staff & fun atmosphere“

“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“

“This was the best meal I have had in a long time. So much so I sought out the manager to personally thank him. Everything was perfect. Not one complaint. We had a nice conversation back at the table and I believe we all departed a little happier than when arrived. I was only visiting but will definitely be back.
P.S. Don't hesitate to show gratitude for great food, great service and and overall great experience. They get yelled at plenty I sure you.“

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

“I’d been seeing rainbow soup dumplings and wanted to try them so decided to order from Dumpling District. They look slightly larger in photos than they are in real life.
There are 6 dumplings - pork, Mala (spicy pork), chicken, shrimp & zucchini, crab & pork & lastly a truffle with pork.

They were lukewarm. I tasted the shrimp, which was the green dumpling. It was my favorite out of all of the dumplings. It was a nice flavor. Next I tried the pork, which was good; then the chicken, which tasted okay. Next, I tried the crab & pork, which was a good tasting combo and then the spicy pork, which was the reddish color dumpling. Lastly, I tried the truffle pork, black dumpling. I was most looking forward to this as I love truffle, but this one was my least favorite. While it looked cool, the flavor wasn’t there.

Overall, I like the idea of pairing the dumplings together so that one can try various flavors at once. Aesthetically it looks like such a fun dish because it’s so colorful.

Now, I also ordered scallion pancake with beef. Normally, I wouldn’t order beef, but I’m oh so glad I did. It was delicious!! The scallion pancake w/ beef tasted flakey, flavorful and hearty. The beef was well seasoned and perfectly paired with the scallion pancake. Although it was a little oily, I would order the scallion pancake again and pair it with an Asian-inspired omelet made at home, it was that good.

I’m looking forward to dining in at Dumpling District. I’m happy to see that there are several throughout the DMV-area.“

“If you love authentic dim sum, this is the spot for you. I’ve tried 5 different “dim sum” places in MoCo and this is by far the best.

Their main dishes are really good too. I love the dim sum too much that I rarely eat them but I’ve tried a couple and they’re spot on.

Very friendly staff and management as well.“

“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!!“

“Food was very fast and very fresh. Tasty. Wine is good) recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Couple of kids around. Clearly stuff is really to help. Other customers doesn't feel uncomfortable. Appreciate it as a mother without child here“

“This is a rather small space for a food hall. All the stalls (except for the bar) are on one side and honestly I can't really see a different configuration for this place if they want to keep the amount of seating that they currently have.

I have had the dumplings and fried chicken, and I prefer the fried chicken. I may have gone on an off day for the dumpling place as they seemed a bit overwhelmed. For me, the dumplings were just a bit bland and the wontons I got, the skin was a bit too thick. The chicken however was juicy and had a great flavor profile!“
