Dim Sum Restaurants near Arlington, VA

“We loved this place! Lots of great dumpling options- we tried the chicken soup dumplings and the rainbow soup dumplings- which is one of each flavor- and we loved them all! Lots of flavor. We also tried the pork Bao and the crab now both of which were very tasty. Service was fast too“

“The first experience was great and I plan to come back and try more with my girlfriend the music is a great vibe along with the atmosphere in general is calm and not too much noise I definitely recommend this place be careful it can be pricey.“

“I have had a LOT of dumplings and these are hands down some of the best I have ever had. They are the perfect amount of meat, perfect crisp, and perfect shape. They hold their shape and are so freaking good. The soup dumplings are rich and delicious. Ask for the spicy sauce if you want, so freaking good“

“So good! Loved everything and service was great“

“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

“We got lucky and had lunch here during a day of tourism. Inexpensive and great food and boba. The cook (who was the only one working there as you can order with the ipad) was nice and the place was clean and cozy. We went at an off-peak time so we were able to sit at the counter but I imagine that during lunch rush it must mostly be for takeout as there are few seats. Also I don't think they had a bathroom as I looked around for one and didn't see it. It wasn't an emergency situation though so did not ask to use one.“

“Amazing food great bartender Oscar!!! A win is a win and i highly recommend!!! Ian the manager is a friend you didn’t know you would make!!“

“I recently visited Nanxiang Soup Dumpling and had a wonderful experience. The soup dumplings were delicious and full of flavor. I also want to give a special mention to, Zhi, who provided excellent service and gave me good suggestions when I order the food. He was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great dumplings!“

“ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!! No I'm not employed here! I have to limit myself to once every other week. After being in the restaurant industry for 25 years I DEFINITELY respect this places consistency. Try it out.“

“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.“

“Great meal - especially for those all day dim sum dumpings. Food is great - service sadly not so much but still worth it! Staff is really rude til they give you the bill which is extremely reasonable, they squish you into tables with bars that hit your shins too, tables of 6-10 be mindful of that! Otherwise excellent food just waited awhile for service and again they were ride literally hit my head with plates or elbows from behind without warning. Still love it.lol we all laughed sooo hard when 5 of my boys ordered a drink (soda/lemonade) which came
in a bottle and to go my son whom previously ordered water, ordered a soda to go thinking it to would be a bottle to go arrived in a cup full of ice!!! We all died laughing-the look of shock and disappointment was hysterical! Great food, and great price. Just watch where you sit at the folding tables - especially if you’re tall like all of us.

Our precise experience was better - food arrived they let us know and moved the lazy Susan accordingly.“

“Dim sum yum“

“Astonishingly good. Can’t go wrong with this order: beef chow fun, Chinese broccoli with garlic, salt fish fried rice with chicken. Always read into the reviews before you dine… this place has bad reviews because of service…which I’ll agree is average.. but the food is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We ordered a to go order 30 minutes before closing and it came out perfect. You see this sear on this garlic clove.. I can’t begin to describe the attention to detail to cooking surfaces, heat, and the right amount of oil to sear garlic in this way. Nothing was burnt, veggies were crispy, everything was fresh, beef in the Chow Fun was a melty tender ribeye. Superb… just flawless execution here. This is attentive cooking in high temp woks using fresh ingredients and clean oil.
Will certainly look to dine in next time we’re in Virginia. If you want good service with mediocre food, visit Peking Gourmet… last I checked nobody is ordering Chinese food for the service.“

“Lots of choices for lunch, drinks, and desserts. My Chicken Teriyaki ($16.95) was very tasty and a good value. Dessert was Hot Chocolate ($4.95) with a slice of Banana Nut Cake ($2.50). Prices are reasonable and service was quick. The only downside was that it was uncomfortably cold inside. Space heaters in the winter and fans in the summer might make dining there more pleasant. Conveniently located across the street from the Gallery Place Metro.“

“Excellent and very courteous service. The food was solidly delicious! Eggplant and tofu was delicious. Also tried my friend's rice with shrimp and scallops and noodles with peanut sauce. we shared our dishes and almost finished them .
We recommend it highly!“

“Peaking duck is top tier, I grew up eating this since I was a toddler so it’s always feels nostalgic sitting down and enjoying all their delicious meals. The garlic string bean’s always so crispy and packed with flavor. Simple I know but truly a must have for me along with with whole duck and crab fried rice. I drive from Pittsburgh once a month to get authentic Cantonese ✨“

“This is a decent spot if you’re desperately craving an Asian food fix or Cantonese dim sum. We went with the $38 buffet (Option A). The steamed dim sum like har gow was acceptable, the wonton soup was a bit bland, but the porridge was actually really good.

We also enjoyed the pork potstickers and the beef hor fun — those were definite highlights for us. Overall, we did enjoy the meal.

That said, it didn’t feel super value-for-money for the price. If we were to return, we’d probably go à la carte instead. Still, it’s a solid option when you really need that Asian / dim sum fix.“

“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.“
