    The restaurant surprised me with its beautiful dining room and authentic menu. We went for dimsum cart on weekend. They have huge menu of dim sum (small plates), so many delicious dish options to choose from. Dining room is very clean. You can definitely gather to celebrate any special occasion. Excellent, service and very quick. I would love to visit to try out other dish.

    One of the better dim sum places in Maryland. This place was excellent. Very big menu. Came in during the week at lunch time to avoid the weekend rush. Plenty of parking and easy to find. Got sat at our table quickly and the dim sum carts started to come around. FYI there are some menu items not on the carts so you just have to let the staff know and they will bring it out to you. The service here was super fast and attentive, makes sense as they come around steadily with the dim sum carts. The food was authentic and fresh. Coming out hot and smelling delicious. My dim sum classic favorites hargow and shumai here were excellent. Super meaty with big shrimp and pork fillings. Their other items were all good. I really like the sesame balls, pineapple bun, and Portuguese tarts. Rice rolls were also good. Will definitely be back and I wild totally recommend this place if you want to try authentic dim sum.

    Came here for some dim sum... This is a relatively new dim sum restaurant along Route 40 in Catonsville. We decided to stop by for a dim sum early dinner. We were greeted by a pleasant man and taken to our seat. The restaurant was an open concept and clean with pleasant staff ready to take our order. We got the crystal shrimp, seafood sui mai, and baked barbecue buns; the Hong Kong pan fried noodles and the steamed pork ribs. The crystal shrimp dumpling was fresh and tasty, covered with a clear dumpling wrapper. The seafood sui mai was loaded with shrimp, scallops, and crabmeat in a dumpling dough that was really good. The star of this party was the baked barbecue pork buns. Baked golden brown buns encased around a pulled pork barbecue filling with a hint of sweetness, (*chef's kiss). Now the items that were definitely a miss: the steam pork ribs were no more than a mound of riblet bones with a bunch of cartilage, little meat, and taro, which I wasn't prepared for as the stark contract in texture from the pork ribs to the mushy taro was not to our liking. The Hong Kong style pan noodles were the most expensive item we ordered ($11.99) and a HUGE disappointment. The noodles arrived with little veggies and no meat, I would advise to not order these two items and, if you just want dim sum, concentrate on those amazing menu items. All in all, with the exception of the noodles and pork ribs, we are going back to check out more of the extensive dim sum offerings!

    10/10 experience! We came on a Saturday around 11:30am. There was a 25 minute wait for a table for 3. The restaurant was clean, waiters were friendly and the food was delicious! Our favorites were the chicken feet, shrimp dumplings and the bean curd skin rolls. I cannot wait to come back to try more of their menu! The portions were good as well.

    Overall: delicious dim sum, quick service, relatively casual ambiance We got there on a Sunday before it opened and the line had already started. We got seated for the first service, ate our fill, and were out the door in 45 minutes which was lovely when eating out with 2 kids 3 and under. The service was fast and almost everything was delicious. The stuffed eggplant was the highlight for me, but i also loved the pork buns and the egg tart. The only thing i wouldn't get again was the short rib, which was very tough and chewy. It was confusing to tell what would come on which cart and what had to be ordered separately, but I'm sure we will learn because we will definitely be back.

    Unacceptable. I ordered $17 pork and green bean dish and they only gave me green bean. It has mala and numbing spice that completely ruin the dish. dim sum are also very bland taste. will never order again. It is not edible. we will just throw it away.

    summary: a "classic" dim sum experience where they walk around with carts and mark a paper order sheet as you eat. It gets packed pretty quickly, so I'd recommend getting their ahead of time if you're not trying to wait. The food is delicious and the dim sum experience is always a fun one if you've never tried before. Context: my family and I went on a Sunday morning at 10:50 and there was already a line coming out of the door (they open at 11). You should definitely get there ahead of time if you're trying to meet a party. I believe their restaurant policy is that they don't let you be seated unless at least half your party is present. The ambiance does get a little bit hectic because the restaurant is so busy so early, but that's also kind of part of the whole dim sum experience. Mostly everything was very delicious and fresh. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the black pepper short rib where the meat was a bit chewy. Otherwise, no complaints about the food. The service is a bit spotty mainly because there's so many people there and how busy it was, so I would try to ask for things in advance if possible. To clarify, it wasn't anything bad. Just ask for things like refills or napkins ahead of time. All in all, it was a delicious meal with a fun experience and we'll definitely be back again.

    Was in town for 2 days, friend took me here right before my flight. Dim sum were solid, har gau, siu Mai, tripes. What impressed me the most is their char siu, it's one of the best I have ever had, considered I'm from Los Angeles and spend 15 years living in Hong Kong. Service was top notch too.

    Solid pork buns (steamed and baked) and sesame buns. My husband also enjoyed the shrimp options. My one negative with this place was that a lot of the pork (non bun) options also contained shrimp which I don't eat. So I had fairly limited options of items to enjoy. That said, everything came out fresh and hot.

    Had a quick lunch and it didn't disappoint! So many folks had the same idea for a random time on a Thursday afternoon. I came back for the tasty Black Truffle Shrimp dumplings and chicken feet. Also tried a new fish soup which tasted super fresh! The salt & pepper calamari dish will ALWAYS be a show-stopper, so order it ASAP to get your meal started here. Customer service was very attentive and suggested complimentary dim sum to go with what we already ordered. The ambiance is light and airy as usual, a nice cool respite from a hot day! Make your way there any time of the week, you won't be disappointed!

    Are there carts Saturday evening?

    Lunchtime carts daily, dinnertime menu dim sum only so it can be made to order. Delicious either way; I've been to both!

    Do they have the carts on weekdays, or just on weekends?

    First time I went was on a Friday and there were carts (to be fair, it was Friday of Labor Day weekend, so maybe that was a special change).

We had a 7:00 PM reservation for seven -- planned largely around my son's birthday request and his love of Dim Sum. Unfortunately, Dim Sum isn't available on Tuesday nights, which was a minor disappointment since our previous Sunday visit gave us the full Dim Sum experience. We shifted to ordering family-style and were genuinely pleased with the meal. The Moo Shu Pork, Peking Duck, Chicken Fried Rice, Mápó Dòufu, and Bok Choy were all flavorful and well-prepared. Everything came with won ton soup and tea, which was a nice touch and added to the overall experience. The atmosphere feels authentic and comfortable, and the staff was friendly throughout the evening. The manager tried to steer us toward several suggested dishes -- it was a bit unclear whether this was purely helpful guidance or an effort to highlight readily available items -- but we appreciated the input and did enjoy the bok choy recommendation. Pricing was reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, despite the Dim Sum surprise, it was an enjoyable and satisfying dinner. We would absolutely return -- just on a weekend next time for Dim Sum.

    I gotta say... this dim sum was good.. really good…read more So big yet so plump and juicy. It really rivals the ones I've had in New York or in the West Coast. The classic Shu Mai is just glistening with flavor. The Har Gow had huge pieces of shrimp. The Cheung Fun was so well made and moist. But the star of the show was unexpected - the Salted Egg Yolk bun. Whoever is the baker back there needs a raise. The Yolk Bun was so fragrant and doughy (almost like Mochi)... we were in awe at how good it was. Now you may be questioning why I didn't give this place a 5 star with such extremely positive remarks. Well... THE CART LADY NEVER CAME BACK! I swear if you see the cart you better order everything at once. The food is extremely well-made, but the cart service really waters down the experience. Idk why they only have 1 cart lady on a weekend, but I hope they makes some changes in the future!

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.

I ordered the Singapore noodles, which were packed with flavor and loaded with beef, chicken, and shrimp. The portion was so big that it honestly could be split between two people. I barely put a dent in it while I was there and ended up taking most of it home and eating off it for a while afterward. But the real showstopper is the bottomless drinks. For $18, you get bottomless Mai Tais, lemon drops, and mimosas, and the best part is they do it all day, not just during brunch hours. You can pull up at 7 p.m., get dinner, and still do bottomless drinks, which is something you don't see very often. Between the massive portions, the flavor, and the all-day bottomless option, Han Palace is an easy five out of five for me. If you're in DC and haven't been here yet, this is a must-go spot.

The parking can be daunting since it still is in DC, might have a bit of a walk but that is everywhere in DC. The food was fast and had some unique choices that are not on a standard menu.
