The noodles were definitely the highlight for me. The sauce was incredibly flavorful and aromatic, with a very authentic Sichuan taste. The flavors here really reminded me of the kind of noodles and dumplings you would get in Sichuan. I would come back just for these! The staff at the front were really friendly, and our takeout order was packed very carefully, which I really appreciated. Also loved the cute artwork on the walls, it gives the place a lot of character.

The food comes out in plastic to-go containers so it's easy to take home if any leftovers. Hands down they have the best dumplings. Their noodles are authentic and extremely flavorful. The owner knows what's she's doing. She's will come and help you how to mix noodles properly to maximize and uniform the flavor across the dish. I am definitely going back to try more.

To all weary travelers who are coming from out of state, looking for legit Korean food because you…read moreno longer live in Maryland, heed my words: get your butt over here!!! I haven't had legit Seolleongtang in years, probably even since childhood, and when I walked through the doors, the nostalgia filled me up within when greeted by the Korean 아지마 (ajima). The service was fantastic and we got our Assorted meat Seolleongtangs and banchan within 5 minutes. And oh man, the food was absolutely perfect! 10 out of 10, this is my new favorite place for Seolleongtang. The meats were absolutely tender, even for these types of cuts, and the broth was deliciously milky, and creamy. Another major highlight for both of us, however, what is the kimchi because it was in a very tangy sauce that blew our minds. Again, 10 out of 10. Please tell them "Thank You" in Korean (감사합니다) because you just tasted the best Seolleongtang in Maryland. Period and no cap!!

They share their space with a Kung Fu Tea, and thanks to some awkward spacing on their current signage, I thought they were actually a dojo. Once I realised, I went in. This is not a restaurant but a food hall, and it feels like a cafeteria inside. It's a definite "get your food and go" kind of place: the fact that my "for here" order came packed to go helps emphasize that (and, PLEASE, can we consider the amount of single use plastic waste as a result of that? I don't need lids and such....) I ordered the tripe app and rainbow soup dumplings. The tripe was very good, with just a touch of spice. Americans might consider it a medium? The dumplings were surprisingly good and I would rank them with many other good dumpling places. Service was good. Food was delicious. Atmosphere and heavy plastic use leave a little to be desired.

It feels like it's only a matter of time before Dumpling District completely loses its regulars. My…read morefamily and I have been coming here since way back when it was Nanxiang Express. Back then, it was a genuinely high-quality, legit spot for soup dumplings, but recently the standards have slipped noticeably. The overall food quality has definitely dropped off. With Nancianf opening up a location over at Columbia Mall, Dumpling District is in serious trouble--they are definitely going to lose our business, along with a lot of locals who remember how good the food used to be. Soup dumplings are supposed to be the main highlight of this restaurant, but the execution has really gone downhill lately. They seriously need to step up their game and bring back the original quality before people move on for good.
