However, when I went with friends to Dimsum Palace for lunch on a Saturday, the food was spectacular. You must try the calamari from their regular menu. It is lightly fried and served with a delicious sauce. I also enjoyed the snow pea tips in garlic sauce. From the dim sum menu, I ordered two servings of the crystal shrimp chive dumplings. I also tried the wonton soup, which was very good. Although Dimsum Palace is an hour and a half drive from me, I find it well worth the trip.

Each dish is the right size for 2-3 people to have a few bites. The crystal dumplings, duck egg rolls, steamed pork dumplings, and walnut creme dessert bao were perfection. The kung pao and cucumber salad had a strong and slightly weird maple syrup flavor, but were still pretty good, and beware that the tofu skin rolls appear to be stuffed with both pork and shrimp (so not vegetarian). The food came out quickly and in whatever order it was ready. However, the some of the service was struggling. The tables are small and easily overcrowded with 3-4 small plates, but neither our waiter nor any of the 5 food runners cleared our dirty dishes away. So we stacked the plates ourselves so they could drop more dishes. It took 3 tries to get more napkins, and despite encouraging us to order food in rounds of 3-4 dishes each, it was difficult to get to our waiter to order. Overall, this was a good experience with solid food. We will be returning.

The staff answered my questions quickly and took my order. I had the Chinese broccoli, soup dumpling and salt and pepper squid. The Chinese Broccoli wasn't good at all. Very bland and I didn't really like the oyster sauce. The soup dumplings were good. Not anything to write home about, but I'd order them again. The squid was really flavorful and it was a good portion. I also had a giant pot of oolong tea which was delicious. They take Apple Pay as well and for less than $40 it wasn't a bad lunch. I'll be back to give it another shot for dinner.

Overall it's not a bad spot, but it just didn't exceed where I hoped it would, and while the food didn't really shine, neither did the service.

The Crab Wontons were out, the jeau lanh (sp?) was not bad, but not that great, the char siu pork was my favorite, but the fried rice and noodles were not cooked at a high enough temperature to taste remotely authentic. Cocktail list looked awesome, cocktails were all just fine, we had 4 of them. Best dish was the monkey bread for dessert! Probably won't be back, but not a horrible spot.

A Chinese review: some of the worst dim sum I've ever had and the staff is racist…read more A friend and i went for a late lunch today. My friend is craving dim sum after being in the country, visiting from Hong Kong for 3 weeks. My friend is quite tan, his mom is Filipino, but he grew up in HK and speaks mostly canto and Tagalog. We tried speaking Cantonese to the staff who are speaking it to each other, so they clearly can. My friend has perfect Cantonese. Mine is ok but I am also very clearly Chinese. They replied in broken English instead. One waitress looked at my friend and handed us forks. So clearly, some racism/colorism in the staff. Context: lots of Filipinos in HK are maids and generally looked down on, so not surprised this happened here. The food was mushy and gross. The shrimp in the cheung fan was grayish. It felt like they had this ready early in the morning and reheated it for later. Siu mai was falling apart. Cha siu bao was good but how do you mess that one up? I've gotten take out from this place before in the past and I always forget why I try to not come here, they forget something every time. At this point I'm sure they're doing it on purpose, like little thieves. Anyway, this place has the advantage of being close, with so little dim sum options in the area, unless you want to make the trip to Tysons or Vienna. Or Maryland. One staff member was laying down on a bunch of chairs nearby loudly watching something on her phone. Any other day, I wouldn't complain about that, everyone deserves a break. But given the food quality and the clear racism in the staff, they should be called out for everything. As with any Asian restaurant, feel free to treat me like trash if the food is good. But this place fails in both places.

Every interaction feels uncomfortable. They repeatedly push for tips and insist on cash payment in a way that comes across as aggressive rather than informative. On top of that, the tone when ordering is consistently rude, no matter who answers the phone. It feels like you're inconveniencing them just by placing an order. Their loud tone, rushing you to hurry and place an order, only to arrive at a restaurant that isn't even busy to be excused for that behavior. Honestly, the place doesn't ever really seem busy, and I can see why. I want to support local businesses, but it's hard to enjoy or recommend a spot where customers are made to feel unwelcome or pressured. With better service and more respectful communication, this could be a solid place--but as it stands, the experience isn't worth it.
