My husband and I went here and were seated right away. The service was excellent the entire visit. We wanted to try as many things as possible so we ordered from their pre fixed menu option. Our table was pretty small So the table got really crowded fast! Food was pretty good, the fried fish was surprisingly my favorite. Meal ended with a dessert too. Nice touch. We will definitely be going back and requesting a booth instead of the table because we rarely order one or two items.

The menu is quite simple (mostly dumplings) but everything at this restaurant is authentic/delicious. Service is good/fast. I never need a reservation which makes this place highly accessible.

I was excited to see that a new Chinese restaurant opened up in the Clarendon area. So my girlfriend and I decided to give the restaurant a try for dinner recently. Unfortunately, the food here was very mediocre and underwhelming. We ordered the scallion pancake, pork and chive dumplings, soup dumplings, fried pork chop and noodles, and roast duck. The scallion pancakes tasted fine but were too greasy. The soup dumplings were not well seasoned and generally lacked flavor. Our waiter forgot to a bring us the vinegar which typically is already on the table at a dim sum place, so we had to ask for it. Even with the addition of vinegar the soup dumplings were still sad to eat. Not sure if they were premade/frozen or what. The pork and chives were worst than you would find in the frozen aisle of a grocery store. The fried pork chop had good flavor but the noodles were very lackluster and tasted similar to indomie, which isn't bad but not great for $16 dish. The roast duck was fine but was hindered because it was served lukewarm. Overall, if you want really good regional Chinese food and dim sum, then Tiger dumpling is not the place for you. If you want the "LaCroix" of Chinese food, then here's your place.

Tiger Dumplings opened up in Arlington late last year, and so many DMV foodies have been checking this place out, so naturally I gotta check it out too ! We had a large group, and the staff was very accommodating with seating us, which was awesome. They have some special "Taste of Two Set Menus Set A & Set B" for $75 each, that come with appetizers, mains, and a dessert, so we ended up getting one of each set! For the apps they have a great variety we had the: Organic Cucumber Salad Tofu Skin W/ Peanuts Shanghai Roast Duck Chili Oil Chicken Five Spice Beef Shank Spicy Chili Oil Wontons Salt & Pepper Garlic Fish Lemon Prawns For the main dishes, we had their signature Northern Chinese style dumplings , as well as some delicious rice & noodle dishes : Tiger Signature Dumplings Tiger Signature Pot Stickers Chicken Shiitake Pot Stickers Black Truffle Wagyu Beef Dumplings Fried Pork Chop Noodles Hawaiian-Style Fried Rice My personal favs were the Chili Oil Wontons, Salt & Pepper Garlic Fish, and the Lemon Prawns for the Apps, and the Fried Pork Chop Noodles, the Black Truffle Dumplings, and the Tiger Signature Pot Stickers for the mains ! The Peach Oolong Ice Cream was also a delicious dessert A short walk from the Clarendon Metro Station and all the Clarendon bars, it's a welcome TASTY addition to the neighborhood in my book !

Very good service and food! The combo noodles had some great flavors. The oolong tea was great on a chilly day

Come join the dumpling party! This is a chill spot to hand out with friends and devour some delicious dumplings. They have large booths in the back for larger parties and the staff is attentive and helpful. Spicy Pork Soup Dumpling - You can never go wrong with soup dumplings Chili Oil Wontons - Loved the chili oil sauce and the wontons were cooked perfectly Pork and Chive Dumplings - steamed and tasty Tiger Signature Dumplings - Delicious blend of shrimp and pork Tiger Signature Pot Stickers - Loved how crispy the pot stickers were! Black Truffle Wagyu Dumpling - Fun to try, but you can skip it if you're trying to save a few bucks.

I LOVE this place! The signature dumplings are my favorite, the scallion pancake is perfect, and the lychee drink was great! I would make a reservation, as it is usually busy. The food comes out quickly so you can try something and order more of what you like. Good vibes, modern feel.

Absolutely love this place! Everything on the menu looked so amazing that we couldn't choose - we will definitely be returning. My assessment: Cold Sesame noodles: wasn't too impressed, not super flavorful and I've had better elsewhere. Dan Dan noodles: this is the one! Super flavorful and hit the spot!! Spicy pork soup dumplings: yes yes and yes!! These were amazing. Highly recommend - and I really didn't feel like they were too spicy. Just flavorful, although I have a high spice tolerance so take that with a grain of salt. Mushroom and chicken dumplings: pretty standard, what you would expect. Not something I would order again.

Absolutely and utterly underwhelming. If you want good Chinese in Clarendon, it's worth a 40 minute metro to da hong pao in DC. This place is nice but the food suuuuucks.
Came for lunch on a Saturday and the place was super busy! We put our names down on the waitlist and were seated within the time frame they gave. I ordered the Taipei pork chop noodles and Sichuan chili oil dumplings which were delicious! My partner ordered the dan dan noodles and signature tiger dumplings. I love the chewy, thin noodles they use in their noodle dishes. I will say though, all the dishes were on the sweeter side and could have used more spice, but they were still flavorful!

The staff is beyond professional. I had a lovely conversation with my waitress and the food was superb. We will be making this restaurant a daily spot.

Great vegan options!I come back again and again to try everything. This restaurant is so good! Highly recommend, cool vibes.Veggie lover dumplings are also vegan (as the manager told me), which were good. I wish they had more vegan dumplings, and the option to mix several options of dumplings

Terrific. Crowded. Finally Arlington has a great dumpling restaurant. Prices are not bad. Dan Dan Noodles were excellent. Pork Corn Dumplings are delicious. Tiger Signature Potstickers were crispy and tender. Every table had a scallion pancake on it. Once you have one you'll understand why. Lotus Sesame Balls are a perfect dessert for a dumpling meal. I saw many things I want to try next time.

Great dumplings! Would definitely order from here again. We went shortly after they opened so the service staff wasn't quite familiar with everything yet. Let them work out the kinks and this place will be
