“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.“

“Great prices, great dumplings. Highly recommend the soup dumplings or the bulgogi, but the pork/shrimp and the pork/green pepper are also delicious. For $12, getting 10 dumplings feels like a steal in the current economy. Support this restaurant, you won’t regret it!!Parking: In a plaza; gets busy around dinner time.Wheelchair accessibility: 1st floor; wheelchairs are fine“
“Easy five stars. There is so much passion in this little place. It feels like a home cooked meal. Pretty much is. The owner is so kind and welcoming. It's a glimpse of what I wish more businesses were like, with charm, quality, and love of the craft of tea making and food. It's a cute little place with lots of personality. I can see this place becoming very popular.“
“we wanted to skip the crowds on lunar new years, and sampan cafe alexandria came highly recommended by my younger sibling. very uncomplicated good food, especially during a time where dim sum spots in va are declining or experiencing price inflation. this was probably the most affordable, and the quality was excellent -- almost everything was cooked perfectly. leftovers tasted super good in the air fryer too.“
“I give this place a 6.5/10! It was super busy, but surprisingly, we got seated after a 5 min wait (we only had two people though). But, my rating stands cause even though the food tasted great, it was slightly oily and some of the foods were cold and not even warm, so that kinda killed it for me ? Nonetheless, service was quick and they do the carts!!“
“This is typical dim sum style with food on the carts. Excellent and delicious dim sum. The big dining room is loud and crowded but I think it makes it more festive and enjoyable. We had a table of four and sat right in the middle of the room. Only down side is if you want to order tea or off the menu, sometimes it can be hard to track down an available server.“
“I had an absolutely delightful experience at Han Palace. Nestled in a cozy corner, the restaurant boasts a small parking lot, yet its interior is surprisingly big, adorned with charming decorations that create a welcoming ambiance. We got the crystal shrimp dumplings, a true standout and personal favorite. Each delicate bite burst with flavor, leaving me craving more. Additionally, the rice noodles and pan-fried turnip cake were equally impressive, offering a delightful combination of textures and tastes. What truly impressed me was the swiftness with which each dish arrived at our table, piping hot and brimming with freshness. It was evident that the kitchen operated with precision and care, ensuring a seamless dining experience. Moreover, the attentive service added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal, as our server was courteous and accommodating throughout. Overall, my visit to Han Palace left a lasting impression, and I look forward to returning to explore more of their delectable offerings in the future.“
“So, my wife and I ducked back into Hot Peppercorn Restaurant, dodging raindrops and craving that kind of warmth only good food and good company can provide. Last time we were here, it was a big group hangout, and the place absolutely nailed it - every dish was a hit, proving that Hot Peppercorn wasn't just a one-hit wonder.This time around, it was just the two of us on a classic rainy evening, looking for that perfect food hug. We kicked things off with fried calamari. Let me tell you, it was like the opening act that gets you hyped for the main event. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, it was the calamari of dreams.Then came the seafood hotpot, the kind of dish that makes you wonder why all food can't be this comforting and delicious. We got adventurous and added an extra bowl of rice because, why not? By the end, we were stuffed in the best way possible, all for a cool $31.The vibe of Hot Peppercorn? Imagine the warmest, most welcoming place you know, then add some awesome real plants and a mini live koi tank for that extra touch of home. It's the kind of spot that's not just about the meal but the whole experience - from the genuinely friendly staff who've got this uncanny ability to know what you need before you do, to the cozy ambiance that makes you want to linger longer.Hot Peppercorn is more than just a restaurant; it's a reminder of how great it feels to be taken care of, to enjoy a meal that's been crafted with care, and to just soak in the good vibes. It's the kind of place that proves, yet again, that the best meals aren't just about the food on your plate but the memories you make while eating it.“
