Great Chinese food! I have been trying to order from a different Chinese restaurant every time I order delivery but I might have to slow down my efforts and stick to ordering from Dumplings & Beyond for a while! I was so happy with my dishes! I ordered two meals, one for lunch and one to save for dinner and the serving sizes were so great that I ended up having leftovers for breakfast the next day too. Everything had well layered flavors, as a white-American I don't have a strong grasp on what "authentic" Chinese food is but I'm guessing it's close to what I ate from Dumplings & Beyond. I look forward to ordering from them again and would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family. read more

Very decent food. Everything was good and I'd go again in a pinch but wouldn't come running back. read more

Dumplings & Beyond - General Tso tofu and Eggplant in Hot Garlic Sauce - Chinese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Wow the quality has really dropped here. It's at cheap takeout level now. Everything was overly saucy and sweet. I ate more rice than the actual dish because it was so sweet. After close to 10 years, it's goodbye from us. We won't be ordering from here again. read more

If you're not ordering your Chinese food from here, you're messing up. I've looked for cheap, dank Chinese food in DC for a me-love-you-long-time now (technically not correct since the quote referenced is from a movie taking place in Vietnam) and am berating myself for not having found this earlier. A zen proverb says, "It takes a wise man to learn from his mistakes but an even wiser man to learn from others" (replace with gender inclusive pronouns). I hope you can learn from my mistakes. Their Treasure Delight Dumplings are absolute FIRE. This 10-piece with the chili oil and dumpling dipping sauce reminds you of a past you've never experienced. It's packed with flavor and makes you think of your grandma's cooking that YOU KNOW would've killed it if she opened up a restaurant. There's a a Korean word that describes this authentic taste perfectly called (pronounced sohn-maat) which literally means "taste of the hands." Do yourself a flavor and order it! Oh - I've also had the General Tso, and its tso far, tso good. read more

Dumplings & Beyond - Treasure Delight Dumpling - Chinese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This place is authentic, tasty and worth the money. The ambiance is great, like a traditional Chinese restaurant with the white table cloths and red decor. The staff are friendly but not too friendly where you're forced to interrupt your convo to greet them when they fill your water or bring food. The only reason I wouldn't give this place 5 stars is the wait time. Expect to be there for at least an hour. read more

A review of a take out during COVID. The restaurant works for take out and delivery only. I came to pick up my order but they also deliver. I followed advice of fellow Yelpers and ordered from the Chef's special ( crispy beef , spicy) and dumplings ( beef with onions), and also got and sour soup. We liked everything. Dumplings order has 10 pieces, lots of filling ( more than in any other Chinese places I've tried so far in DMV area), very juicy, and served with vinegar souse on the side. Excellent, can be the entire meal. Crispy beef is very good if you are ok with some sugar ( this is how crispness is achieved) but it was not as sweet as in other places that we'd tried before in a search for a perfect crispy beef ( my husband's favorite). Hot and sour soup was full of flavors and the right balance of hot and sour. My take out took only 20 min , pick up was very easy and safe ( only one person is allowed inside at a time). My only negative comment ( that almost impacted the 5 star rating) relates to see service. I had to ask for a spoon ( there were only forks packed) . My kitchen is in the middle of full gutter renovation, I have no utensil or condiments). I don't understand how they could pack a take out soup but do not include a spoon. They gave it to me only when I asked for it. I also have to ask for chopsticks and soy source. They gave me the chopsticks but in regard to soy souse, said that " the souses are inside". Well.... only the order of dumplings had the souse. Crispy beef is very dry ( the way it should be) but the rice that comes with it stays blah and dry when you put the beef no top. Either they forgot to pack a souse for this dish or for no reason they refused to give me the soy souse ( they do have the packets, I saw them), if it is a matter of extra charge, I would have been more than happy to pay for it. I ended up not fully enjoying my crispy beef as I couldn't use much of the rice. In short, if you don't have utensils and/ or condiments at home, ask! Don't assume everything will be included. read more

The dumplings at this restaurant are indeed amazing. The pan fried version is crispy on the pan side and combines the fried notes with porcine goodness in the filling. The steamed dumplings are also splendid and soup-filled. Salt and pepper spare ribs are one of my favorite Chinese dishes, and they execute it perfectly here. The meat is tender and moist and the fried breading is crispy but not overwhelming. There is a definite bite to it, you can certainly taste the pepper. read more

Very good food. Service friendly, prompt and efficient. Good location and cozy dining area. Very inclusive hiring of staff. Recommend greens with garlic, beef dumplings. Food can be inconsistent. If ordering for pick up, recommend doing so in person vs using app platforms. read more

The food here was so excellent that I realized if I can't go back to China and NYC for a few years because of Covid, all will be OK on the culinary front. More importantly, it's amazing with delivery how the fried items maintain their shape as well as the noodles and dumplings. Even the leftovers held. BE SMART--ORDER THEIR SPECIALTIES--Any form of dumplings and the Chef's specials. Each dish we ordered I had a different flashback to a dishes in China or Chinatowns around the globe. Here are the flashbacks Treasure Delight dumplings--Datong China-- due to shape, fragrance, and moistness, with a little bit of liquid. Salt and Pepper pork: NYC and Tianshui Cold peanut Noodles: back street Muslim quarters in Xian and Xining China, Montreal, and Rockville MD. The fried spicy fish was also awesome-- again the best spicy fish I've ever had were dishes in China. I can't believe this place has been here for four years. And I've missed it thus far. Can't wait to return! read more

It's really hard to find solid Chinese food in DC, but this place never fails to deliver. The dumplings are simply incredible and their fried rice makes me finally understand why people order it. Their green beans and eggplant are just as good as most of the meat entrees. Haven't ordered a bad thing yet! read more

Ordered from here a few more times and can say that this restaurant is one of my staples now. I've tried the chicken, fish, and treasure delight dumplings, as well as the chicken, shrimp and vegetable entree. The food has the perfect amount of flavor and is not oily or salty at all-- reminds me of home-cooking. read more

These guys are the dumpling pros, no doubt about it. As someone who doesn't eat pork or shellfish, it can be hard to come across some nice juicy kosher dumplings but these guys have it. I've gotten the chicken and cilantro and just tried the fish and cilantro and both are sooo good. Super fast takeout service, love the sauces it comes with, great service. Give them your dumpling money!!!! read more

I've ordered from here a few times before, and true to its name, their dumplings are definitely the best items here. I got the chicken and black mushroom dumplings, which comes with chili oil and vinegar dipping sauce (mix them together instead of dipping separately) and the szechuan water boiled fish (shui zhu yu/水煮鱼). The dumplings are BIG. Like, a whole 10-piece serving would be a satisfying meal for one person. There's not much black mushroom (shiitake? Wood ear?) in the filling but that's fine by me because the flavor was so savory. The wrapper isn't too thick and doughy either. From my experiences eating here, I'd highly recommend the chicken and mushroom dumplings or the three treasure delight dumplings. The water boiled fish was also really good. It was spicy but very manageable, and there was a lot of fish. Most places will throw in a ton of cabbage and just a little bit of fish, but that wasn't the case here. This dish is meant to be oily, but it wasn't so oily that there was no "broth" to eat with rice. I'll definitely be flagging Dumplings & Beyond as a place in DC where I can get this dish from now on! read more

Dumplings & Beyond is fantastic, and they offer great food with great service! Their signature dumplings are all made by hand and are absolutely delicious. They have a variety of different dumplings to choose from, but regardless of what you choose, all of them are packed with flavor and dumpling juice. Service is pretty good too. Despite the high volume of orders they get, I usually need to wait no more than 10 minutes for my food when dining in. In the age of COVID, that time is upped to 15 minutes, but all the food comes out very well and securely packed. read more

We ordered from this spot for Xmas day and it was almost perfect. The dumplings were amazing as was the chow fun, spicy green beans and two different chicken dishes. The scallion pancake was hard as a rock and we tossed the entire thing in the trash. The cumin lamb was good but you could barely taste the cumin so I guess it's a halfway win - tender meat but not so much flavor. I ended up dumping the green beans in with it and the dish was rescued. I would try them again and check out more dumplings and other specialty dishes. read more

I really loved Dumplings & Beyond! The amount of dumplings they provide in an order is great and they are very delicious. The lo mein is also sooo good! I think I got the treasure delight dumplings, the chicken and mushroom dumplings, and the chicken lo mein. It was enough food for like 4 days!! read more

Great dumplings! Excellent service, and we were able to find parking close by. Best Chinese food I've had in a while.

This was a much needed meal during Covid. The dumplings were very big and packed with flavor. The sauce and side of sauce for heat contributed to the flavor without taking away from the dumplings. The dumplings were steamed to perfection and everything inside was tender and delicious. The scallion pancakes were another tasty treat that had great scallion flavor to compliment the dumplings. I wish the restaurant was open for dine in service because it looked like a very clean and welcoming restaurant. I look forward to going back to DC for more of these delicious dumplings. read more

So sad..the only thing I wanted to try was the soup dumplings and there was no broth to be found. But I gave three stars because I was greeted by staff as soon as entering the building. Took them a while to find my order as they are takeout only. They do require a mask, no mask no service. Very small space to pick up your order however as they utilize only the vestibule for customers. read more

The soup dumplings were pretty good for this area. But the hot and sour soup, which should be a Chinese fast food staple, was awful. Never had soup so peppery. As if the cook accidentally dumped the whole pepper shaker into the soup and just decided it was okay to serve. The spicy should not come from black pepper. read more

Had a really rough night and door dashed some dumplings and chicken corn soup. The dumplings were amazing and the portion was suitable for the price. Great dumpling wrapper and texture. Was given chili oil and vinegar for free which was awesome. Like the other reviews say though, the food outside the dumplings is lacking. I had to season up my chicken corn soup pretty heavily. Their name is "Dumplings & Beyond" though so that should give you a hunch. read more

really tasty stuff, I got the Xiao Long Bao dumplings. I could have stopped with 1 order, but I went all in and got the pork and chive dumplings too. I did notice a bad attitude from when I called about seating (they are as of 3 weeks ago only doing take out) and he was very short and hung up. I checked the restaurants around the area, and looked for parking and gave it a try. I called back and placed an order. Xiao long bao where really tasty, Sause was great too. I then went for the pork and chives but I would have preferred another order of Xiao long Bao. Either way both were good, and I would probably go again if I'm in the area. read more

I been visiting this place for a few years now. And is always the same, great quality food and good service.

This was a great place! First time trying this place since we were nearby and it was a great find. We Highly recommend chive pockets mixed with egg. The Sauté Egg plant was more of a sweeter flavor and the mao pao tofu was a mild spice which we asked for and all were very good. The Xi long Bao aka soup dumpling appetizer were delicious. Overall, I would go to this place again, especially since this is on the door dash option for delivery. read more

My daughter loves scallion pancakes and xiao loong bao so I was excited to find a Shanghai restaurant with her two favorite things for her trip to D.C. We came here after checking in to our hotel for dinner around 5pm on Saturday 4/8/17. It was not busy and we were seated a few minutes after entering (parking outside is metered). I've read every review on YELP before deciding to come here so I was prepared to order the house dumplings, my kiddo's two favorite dishes, the eight treasures tea one reviewer raved about and beef hor fun. Pro: + The house dumpling was good, and beef hor fun was as close to I can get to NYC Chinese restaurant style. I think the beef cut is thicker than the dishes served in Brooklyn or Chinatown, but it was fine. The dish was not as greasy as other unauthentic versions we've tried. Cons: - Perhaps we're used to the Shanghai style in NYC because the scallion pancakes and xiao loong bao was not our favorite. The bao was small and not as juicy as ones we find typically in Chinatown and the scallion pancake was not as thin and crispy. - being an expensive pot of tea my hubby was not impressed with the eight treasures tea as he didn't taste a difference from what we usually find say, at a dim sum restaurant. Not to say we're tea experts but since quitting coffee over a year ago we've dabbled with quite a good amount of teas. Maybe it's because the strainer is so short it wasn't seeping in the water. - service was mediocre. The waiter spoke Cantonese so I was able to question the ingredients in the house dumping and order our food but they didn't come often and I had to flag someone down for the check. read more

Dumplings and Beyond has been a consistently good spot. My most recent order included chicken lo mein and sesame chicken. Both were excellent. The lo mein tasted classic, and the sesame chicken was cooked well. And the portions on both dishes are impressive. This is a really good place for takeout Chinese food, and one I'll be ordering from again! And it delivers well, too. read more

Visiting the DC area with my family for the holidays and we were in search of a simple take out option for Christmas lunch. Given the name of the restaurant, we figured we had to try some dumplings. Tried the Xiao Long Bao and House Special Dumplings, both of which were pretty good. Some of the Xiao Long Bao had broken and lost their soup but even soupless, they were still quite tasty. The dough was chewy and the dumplings had plenty of meat inside. The Beef Chow Fun, Shrimp Lo Mein, Chicken and Broccoli, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, String Beans with Garlic Sauce, and Szechuan Mapo Tofu tasted just like how we expected them to taste - saucy, a little greasy, and flavorful. The Mapo Tofu was pretty spicy, but I'm pretty sure they have a different style that is probably less spicy for those interested in actually tasting the rest of their food. The eggplant was tastily drowning in its sauce, and the chow fun oily and well cooked. The portion sizes are also quite generous - good for our party of 7 with some remaining for the best part of any Chinese meal - the leftovers. All in all, it was exactly what we were looking for in a Chinese takeout option. read more

Go-to Chinese near GW's campus- it's not only value, but also super delicious, and they do everything on their menu (that I've had so far) fairly well- no missteps yet. We got the scallion pancakes, shrimp chow foon, Shanghai rice cakes, and beef noodle soup- more food that we could eat, but it was the lunar harvest festival and we wanted to go all-out. The scallion pancakes are exactly what you hope for them to be- crispy, layered, slightly greasy with an addictiveness that would have you ordering more had the other food not begun to come out. The Shanghai rice cakes were the next thing to arrive, and being Korean, I had never had rice cakes in this kind of preparation. They were savory and meaty flavored, and the translucent sauce they are coated with is deceptively full of flavor. It goes so perfectly with the napa cabbage- crunch and chew, veg and meat. The beef noodle soup was pretty standard- a clear beefy broth, rich but nothing compelling. The noodles were cooked well, and the meat was tender, with the bok choy rounding out the dish with some green. I'm a sucker for chow foon, in all of its thick-noodled goodness, and this hit the spot. It's soft and crispy, with those slightly "burnt" bits giving me that Maillard satisfaction. A solid, satisfying chow foon. I always enjoy my meals here, and this last time was no exception. I would recommend coming here with a group of 3-4 and enjoying it family style, the way these kind of dishes are meant to be enjoyed. read more

Not the same quality we were used to. Our previous two meals - one dining in and one delivery - were very good to excellent. Good quality portions and well cooked food. Unfortunately tonight's Uber Eats delivery ended up being a timely delivery of medocure Chinese food. Kang Po Chicken - the chicken - what there was of it - was tasty. It was a tad gummy - too much corn starch. Way too many pieces of green peppers and onion. I buy fresh chicken breasts at Harris Teeter for $3.99 a pound. I would say there was $0.50 worth of chicken in the dish. Dish #2 - Chicken Lo Main. Where's the chicken? I would say $0.20 worth of chicken. The noodles were simply overcooked. Too soft. Very disappointed with both dishes. read more

My family ordered food from Dumplings & Beyond for a recent party, and they delivered (literally!). They are definitely my parents' go-to for Chinese food catering in the area. We got 200 pork and Chinese treasure dumplings. They are always a hit. They're so plump (perhaps a little too much wrapper)! They come with a vinegar/soy sauce that is classic, as well. We also got a noodle dish with ground meat and vegetables, which was a nice addition. Unfortunately, I found the scallion pancakes a little bland and not particularly scallion-y. I'm not sure we'd get them again. Solid and always a hit. read more

I ordered take out from here through door dash and man was it a good choice! I have a terrible head cold and felt in my bones that I needed some Wonton Soup. Of course you can't just get soup, so I also ordered their Sesame Chicken and some Pan-seared Pot Stickers. Yum. Yum. Yum. The soup has delicious broth and wonderfully large wontons - the perfect medicine. The Sesame Chicken was tender with a slightly spicy sauce that had the perfect gooey consistency, not too liquid-y or too thick. My only problem was I felt like for the price there wasn't a lot of chicken but that's fine. The same problem was the same for the Pot Stickers, where I feel like there should be more. The Pot Stickers had a great filling and yummy spicy oil and sauce that came with it. And to end it off the fortune cookies weren't stale! And I got a fun fortune. I'm feeling better already! read more
