    Pork Soup Dumplings 6
    Mark N.

    Came in on a Saturday night and it was pretty quiet and spacious. We were greeted immediately and we were able to sit down immediately once entering in the restaurant. The food was so delicious and the portions were quite large. Every bite was flavorful, thankfully I was able to try out my wife's food as well, which was also really good. I will definitely be coming back for more.

    Great for medium sized groups with a private room

    Couldn't decide what for dinner tonight so we stopped by district dumplings to check it out. I've only been here for a few months, but it's nice to know that dumplings and dim sum is so close.. We ordered the rainbow soup dumplings and was totally impressed. This is a wonderful start to try each different dumpling and discover which one is your favorite . Mine is probably the mala which is spicy pork. We also ordered the pork fried dumplings, which were meaty and delicious . Service was impress, helpful without being overbearing. We will definitely add this to one of our favorite places in this shopping center.

    The best Banh Mi around!!!!!

    Clean, kid-friendly, fast, consistent, and great service! The best Banh Mi around!!!!! Bun bo hue, pho, rainbow dumplings, crabmeat fried dumplings, cucumber salad, and pork belly with rice. Highly recommend!!

    Was on the hunt for something new and stumbled across this place. Hands down, one of the best soup dumpling places in the DMV and very well worth the drive into Germantown for a visit. Recommend getting the assorted soup dumplings (pork, crab & pork and the truffle are so freaking good) to figure out what full order you want. Also really loved the pork wonton with chili and peanut oil and pan fried pork dumplings which aren't actually fried bao (like how it is at other places) they also serve some rice and noodles dishes and even reg take out American classics like general tso which I hope to try on my next visit. The drinks are also super good (Korean pear sparkler is non alcoholic and refreshing). Plenty of parking and service was solid. Highly recommend if you have a xiao long bao craving and want something different (and imo better than the MoCo classics of bobs and shanghai).

    Worth trying this place out! My mom and I went to grab dinner and we got: - Rainbow Soup Dumplings - Pork Pan Fried Buns (6) - Pork + Shrimp Shumai (4) - Wontons in Peanut Butter Spicy Sauce with Pork & Vegetable (8) Everything tasted delicious and I love being able to try out all 6 flavors of the soup dumplings at once. Our favorite was the crab meat & pork and black truffle (pork). We got handed a menu where we can mark how many we want of different items for the servers to take. And the food all came out pretty quickly. The only thing I hope they can expand on is their vegetables section. They only had 2 options to choose from. We went on a Sunday evening so it wasn't too busy but I also think it's probably cause it's a fairly new place (it replaced Bonchon). Not too loud which is always a plus :) Plenty of parking which is always a win in my eyes haha

    Everything we ordered were tasty. Rainbow soup dumplings (like a dumpling sampler) make their menu somehow unique and there's an instruction on how to eat them. The stir-fry noodles aren't oily like chow mein or similar types of noodles. It's more on the softer boiled in broth like thing, huge cuts of mushroom but tasty! My daughter wasn't a fan though because it was a kind of soupy. Shumai was meaty and filling. Cucumber salad is good but I've tasted better ones. These times, it's considered to be an affordable place to eat. Good with groups. Servers were nice. Ample parking available. Bathroom isn't in its best shape but acceptable. Located near an Asian store and boba place so that's a bonus.

    Pan fried pork cu

    My sister and I finally made it to this restaurant. It is their first dine-in restaurant. I have not been to their other locations. Restaurant is bright and roomy. Plenty of party. The service was wonderful. The menu is a smaller side - but working g on a dine-in version instead. We are a complete scallion pancake snob. Although this is closer to the authentic one, it could use more scallions. We dif like the crispy, flicky layers, yey soft center. The cucumber and garlic was light and refreshing. The salty rice roll- the ratio of filligs to rice could be higher but it was tasty. Chicken soup dumplings were excellent however, they were not saved with gingers. We has ask for them and they brought very minimal amount. That was a disappoint. The pan fried pork buns were excellent. Overall, it was a good experience.

    The favorites - pork pan fried dumplings, spicy pork soup dumplings, wontons with peanut sauce, scallion pancake, and pork belly with rice Friendly and fast service Plenty of parking Floors and bathroom could have been cleaner

    Braised Beef Noodle Soupsoup
    Micah C.

    So excited that I finally got to try this place out! Went here for dinner on a Saturday night and it was pretty empty so we were seated right away. Our server was kind and explained the menu to us. I ordered the beef noodle soup bowl and soup dumplings to share. The beef noodle soup was good but could use a little more salt in my opinion. I liked the beef though; it was very tender. The soup dumplings were amazing! Plump and delicious. I like how the soup broth inside didn't burn my tongue haha. I'd come back for those and one of the rice dishes next time. It's so nice to have this place in the Germantown area so I don't have to go all the way to Rockville for soup dumplings!

    Pork pan fried dumplings

    New dumpling restaurant that seems to have taken over where Bonchon chicken used to be. We ordered the rainbow dumplings and pan fried pork dumplings. The rainbow dumplings were great for photos but some of the flavors were a bit strange, I wasn't a big fan of the mala spicy one and the shrimp and zucchini. The best soup dumplings were the original pork dumplings and crab & pork dumplings, which were juicy with generous portions of meat. But the real star of the meal was the pan fried pork dumplings - they had a perfectly crispy bottom and juicy meaty interior. The ambiance is okay, typical of a fast casual restaurant. The service was very friendly and attentive and parking was free and plentiful right by the restaurant. Pricing was a bit expensive, the rainbow dumplings were $14 for 6 dumplings, but it wasn't too crazy.

    Tried Dumpling District for the first time and it was a really nice experience. I ordered the the fried rice which was great and rainbow dumplings--they were fun, unique, and colorful, but I do wish they had a bit more flavor. The service, though, was excellent! The staff was super helpful especially since it was my first visit.

    Cucumbers with garlic sauce
    Margy C.

    Can you get full on dumplings? Yes, if you order almost the entire menu. We started with the rainbow soup dumplings filled with delicious broth. I liked the Japanese ladles instead of the soup spoons because it could catch all the broth once you take your first bite into the soft dumpling skin. We got other items besides the fried pork buns and pot stickers. The scallion pancakes were too flaky. It just fell apart the second I picked it up. Cucumbers with garlic sauce was very refreshing. It is a cold dish and the cucumbers were fresh and had a crunch. I ended up eating some of it with the noodles with scallion sauce. The two dishes complimented each other quite well. We also tried one of the rice dishes. The sweet and source pork ribs over rice made it a complete meal. Note: Some dishes were not available last night due to the fact that it was a grand opening. They are the braised beef noodle soup and braised pork ribs over rice. Service was fantastic!

    Noodles hit the spot

    Nearly missed the restaurant during opening weekend, due to the old Bonchon sign. I'm glad I got my bearings! Came here to celebrate my young daughter birthday. She wanted rice coins and dumplings and loves to try new places. We were able to reserve a large table for the extended family. This came in handy as the restaurant filled in quickly. The hype is real as patrons were happy all around. The staff worked hard to make everyone feel accommodated throughout the night. The food was Great and better than the other locations we tried. Everything was delicious!

    Soup dumplings are too large. I also expect to need a mouth made of asbestos to eat a soup dumpling, these are served lukewarm.

However, it turned out to be much better than it used to be! We went on a Sunday morning. We ordered a large variety of dishes. Everything was excellent.

Moreover there was no visible oil and fried foods were crispy and not oily. The service was prompt and helpful. The table cloths are peeled off after each party leaves so the tables were super clean and not greasy. The chairs are covered in cloth which also keeps them clean.

I had to stop myself from eating all 3 in one sitting :) -Fish dish was solid and enjoyed by the entire party MISSES -We ordered their pan fried noodles with beef and ended up with a really interesting version~. The noodles were so crispy that it was hard to break them apart to mix in with the sauce and toppings. There was also a fishy taste and beef tendon instead of regular beef slices. It wasn't my favorite. Overall, I think this place is pretty average. I miss New Fortune but hope this place does well.

Located near Town Center in Rockville, it's tucked behind the Walgreens in a plaza. I placed a take out order but will say that the restaurant was PACKED! There was a regular menu and a dim sum menu which I could appreciate. I ordered the basics: combo fried rice (chicken and shrimp), vegetable spring rolls, sesame chicken and jasmine rice and egg soup. The rice and super flavorful and worth the 15 min wait. The sesame chicken was great as well. The egg drop soup was overwhelming with eggs, so it was ok. Not bad but I didn't expect so much egg. Also, the spring rolls could have been fried a little harder. Ver crispy on the outside but once I bit into it, the soft texture threw me off. But it was nothing that my air fryer couldn't fix!

I loved the fact that I was able to see their accolades on the walls and there's an open window that allows you to see the food prep, which was neat! Overall I'd give it a 4/5 and will be back!
