    Crispy Walnut Shrimp
    Elaine C.

    Han Palace may be best known for its weekend dim sum, but for my family, it's one of our go-to spots for classic Chinese stir-fried dishes--check out the Chef's Recommendation section! While some offerings, like the crispy walnut shrimp, lean toward the Americanized side, they're still exceptionally well-executed. The Han style filet mignon is a dish we order every time: tender, flavorful, and cooked to a perfect medium. I also highly recommend the steamed cod--delicately prepared in a light broth that enhances the umami. Be sure to enjoy it with rice to soak up all the flavor. As for dim sum, the quality is solid. The chicken feet are some of the softest I've had, and the purple gold yolk buns feature a rich, slightly grainy filling that signals the use of real salted egg yolk. I like to save one for dessert--they're almost too pretty to eat. Service is friendly and efficient, though understandably brisk during peak hours. The restaurant has a clean, spacious interior with cozy booths and tasteful decor that always brings a sense of comfort and nostalgia. Just be prepared for crowds on weekends--it's popular for a reason.

    This place is worth a visit if just for the purple drink & purple dessert buns. We also enjoyed some dumplings as well as General Tso's. There are several happy hour drink options There were some communication issues as others have mentioned but nothing felt intentional or negative. We parked out front during happy hour with no issues. Our friend parked in the garage which allows for two hours. She was over by one minute and they were kind enough to validate it for her. If we are ever looking for an after work stop in Tyson's area this will certainly be a good option. Worth a visit.

    Beef chow fun

    I was meeting with a few friends in celebration of the lunar new year and being my first time, I really enjoy the atmosphere. The dining area is on either side of the restaurant, gorgeous bar that wraps around, plenty of beautiful decor on the walls and a private room for larger parties. There were so many selections to choose from on their menu. One side has regular and specialty items and on the other side is dim sum. It appears they have two separate menus but it's actually one. They both display the same items on both menu but the white shows the prices. All of the items ordered were tapa style and delicious like char sui, steamed scallops dumplings, beef chow fun, bok choy with garlic, steamed shrimp crepes, braised eggplant, Peking duck with pancakes; pan fried turnip cakes, garlic snow pea leaf (market price). For dessert items like pineapple buns, purple gold yolk bun (salted egg yolks) were delicious but unfortunately the coconut pudding felt flat. Though It was in a shape of a white bunny, there was no coconut flavor and it had a medicinal after taste. There were multiple food runners, the host Yee and all staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Our server Maggie had multiple tables and there were times we just sat there. But on that day, there was a special guests that arrive and gave blessings to all the patrons and staff members. The restaurant is connected with the 7900 building so it has a shared restroom. There is a 2 hr limited to eat. Hours of operation are 11:30a-3p and 4p-9p; Fridays and Saturdays they closed at 10p. The parking is limited in the front but manageable and there's more parking in the garage (2 hr is free and after theres a fee). I really enjoy the quality of the items except the coconut bunny. I will definitely make another visit and try other items on their menu.

    A good dim sum place when it was new but quality and service went down the hill. Now it is okay. They actually have a great interior decor. Service is slow or super rush sometimes like they want to get the next table seated

    It has taken me a couple of years to make it here even though there are not that many dim sum places in the area. Not sure why this place does not receive five stars from everyone. I brought my mom here for her birthday and she agrees that this place has fresh, hot dim sum dishes that come out quickly. They also have good stir-fry vegetables and congee. The restaurant is elegant but bustling with a flavor of modern Chinese decor. Our waiter was efficient and always responded to our requests right away. This place will be added to our rotation for sure.

    Approx 12 noon , after I walked in. I wanted a quick lunch at the bar. The matre'd wanted to sit me at a table but I still wanted to eat at the bar 1210pm I put my order in and a different person delivers the food 1235pm Shift to when I am nearly finished and only for the first time someone asked me if everything was ok. Shouldn't someone have stopped by after I began eating to see if everything is ok? Not at the point when I was finished eating!! Only at that time did someone in the kitchen or bar ask me if everything was ok. Ooh and I had to ask for a water refill -- isn't that obvious I finished lunch and needed a refill of water and I did not need to ask. You should have been the one to suggest a refill of water... 1230om it's the small things that leave impressions on the customers..... 1236pm Ooh and I was not asked if I need anything else. I Was not even asked if I would like the check. Ooh how I would like to do a secret shopper experience here to rate the full experience at han palace ,(hint hint) P.S. I was the only one here at the bar the whole time I had lunch put my order in and had to ask for a full of water. Go figure

    We ordered a bunch of dim sum plates, and it was okay. I had pretty high expectations because I liked the other Han Palaces nearby. This was definitely the most fancy and upscale looking, but food was mediocre. I've had better dim sum, but I think I wanna try their other dishes that are not dim sum. Service was kinda slow, and I felt like waiters would wander around and actually help table, especially ours. It took a while to order and get the check.

    I was pleasantly surprised to find Han's much quieter than usual during our recent Sunday brunch. As always, the dim sum didn't disappoint. We especially enjoyed the scallop dumplings and, of course, the classic crab balls--both were flavorful and fresh. That said, a couple of dishes fell short this time. The chicken mushroom bun was a bit bland and served cold, and the bun itself lacked that smooth, pillowy texture I preferred . The lobster congee was just okay--nothing to rave about. Overall, still a solid dim sum spot, but a few tweaks would've made it perfect!

    A lovely place for some good greasy all day dimsum ! Ordered the following: Steamed shrimp rice crepe (lovely would recommend) Deep fried taro buns (okay) Pan fried turnip cake (could find better) Baked bbq pork bun (passable) Roasted duck (very greasy ) Pork siumai(okay) Steamed scallop siumai (okay) Beijing Bellini (passable) Everything was just okay, but nothing that stood out. Most all items were heavy/greasy with no distinct flavors. Would probably come back for a craving but nothing spectacular sadly. Service was good! Ambiance was more dressy casual, perfect for gatherings/groups and families.

    I am surprised the rating is only a 3 stars for the restaurant, we were there for dinner, great authentic Cantonese food with a good amount of good (more than Peter Chang and mama Chang) ... the food was served fast and the servers were attentive as well. They let me bring a cake to celebrate my dad's birthday and was very nice about staying longer to finish our cake and such. So I would definitely give it a higher 5 stars review, the only thing is they dont tell you that 18% service fee is already charged so they expect to have you pay anohher 20%... not sure if that's very ethical but read your receipt.. otherwise great service and good...

    Sesame balls, har gow, and turnip cake - would not recommend any of these
    Crystal X.

    I love dim sum and this was not it. Honestly, I think they're only in business because of their location in Tysons. The shrimp dumplings were very mushy and the shrimp slipped right out of the wrapper. The turnip cake lacked flavor and the sesame balls were barely warm. I also wasn't impressed with the pea shoots (too fibrous) or the Singaporean-style noodles, which were really dry. Would not recommend.

    Excellent Dim Sum. We'd like to arrive at opening time to avoid lines. Service is good very fast. All has to be ordered from the menu. No carts. Sticky rice wrap was very good, shrimp dumplings great and as always. Portuguese Tarts were warmed and crunchy just out of the oven.

    Shrimp A1. Steamed Shrimp Dumpling
    LaShawn G.

    Was going to give them maybe a 4 1/2 but this is the second time I've been here and they have to get a 3-star overall. Now this has nothing to do with the food because it's pretty good. The first time I was here back in February I sat inside and the restaurant itself is comely decorated and the service was alright...I could tell the server really didn't speak good English so couldn't really tell me much about the menu. I ate when it was happy hour so the drink specials were a good price I got a lemon drop and appetizer steamed shrimp dumplings with for the first time tried beef chow fun dry. And I can tell you it was really good and the right armpit of spice as I told them I wanted it spicy. Now days first today I did carry out and got the same dry beef chow fun and asked for STEAMED crab meat dumpling. Not thinking nothing I waited around 10-15 minute then took my order and went on my way. It wasn't until king or home that I realized that I got FRIED crab wonton which were completely overpacked at $10.95. Plus the noodle dish was not a piece of spice on it after I told her I wanted it spicy! Not sure why she didn't understand I wanted it STEAMED. I don't eat much fried food and if I wanted those wonton I could have went to my local hole in the wall Chinese joint for them. And to top of off don't even put any dipping sauce for them. So moral of the story make sure the people taking your order does it correctly AND you check your order before you leave out!

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.

The prices are quite good and the portions are generous. I had a full second meal the next day without trying. I got the Yangzhou fried rice and it was very well executed. The meat inside was excellent, with what tasted like lap cheong or a similar Chinese sausage. The egg was fluffy, not burnt, nicely moist, and evenly distributed. Everything tasted fresh and balanced, with real depth of flavor. This is fried rice done properly. The other dish was listed as spicy fried chicken or something, though it was basically a la zi ji. It was excellent. I loved the peppers, and the spices were very aromatic. The frying was done well, clearly cooked in plenty of oil, so not exactly light food, but extremely satisfying. The chicken was crisp and flavorful, and the overall execution was strong. The food came out fast, the prices were low, and the quality was high, and service was good.

There is plenty of seating that is spacious and well setup, tables are not squished together where you feel as though you have no space to eat.

I always appreciate good food that is easily accessible without struggling to find parking while out and about with two young kids.

The soup is flavorful and portions are large so perfect to split among two kids. - Pork Soup Dumplings - Solid option, soup broth inside the dumplings was delicious. - Scallion Pancakes - Deliciously fried to perfection.

For a self-proclaimed Chinese food snob, that kind of consistency across locations isn't just appreciated -- it's rare. This is the place I bring family and friends visiting from out of town when I need to guarantee both quality and a good time. No hesitation, no asterisks. That's a short list. The menu hits two lanes perfectly: bold, soul-warming noodle soups and dry noodles loaded with zesty mix-ins that slap just as hard. The flounder with sour pickled cabbage noodle soup is the move if you want something that's simultaneously bright, funky, and deeply comforting. The spicy beef brisket in golden soup is pure richness -- the kind of broth you'd drink straight if no one was watching. On the dry noodle side, the Chongqing dry noodles bring the heat and the complexity you want from that style. Don't sleep on the small eats. The scallion pancakes and soup dumplings are legitimately all-star -- not afterthoughts, not filler. One pro tip: pay attention to the rotating specials once you've locked in your favorites. And you will have favorites. Probably after visit one. Casual setting, family-friendly vibe, top-tier food. Yu Noodle earns a permanent spot on the short list.
