Peking duck, fish, veggies, clams
Claudine L.

Kinda expensive for what it is. I went on a saturday night and it was super empty. I was pretty surprised I thought it would be the busiest time of the day. We got a variety of things from the peking duck to fish. Smaller portions than I thought. Servers were pretty attentive. Parking is free in select spots and free 2 hour parking in the garage. I think the highlight were the steak like cubes with broccoli. Super tender but a bit sweet

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.

General Tso's

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.

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

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

Beef chow fun
Nou Nou S.

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.

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.

C2. Steamed Beef Rice Crepe
Debbie S.

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.

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!

Sharmane G.

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.

Khang N.

great vibe nice service the food was great and dim sum was great too will come back visit soon

Weina F.

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.

We were like the food must be good lol When we got our food it was pretty cold. Which is weird cause they just opened. During our meal we hear screaming. It was 2 employees yelling at each other. My friends are Vietnamese and were saying that they were yelling about gambling money. It was pretty annoying and I could tell my friends were uncomfortable. But at the end is where it got really uncomfortable and awkward. The food and service was not good. So I tipped 15 percent. I should have tipped nothing but that's not me and I was in the service industry so i understand everyone has a day off. The, I assume manager or owner came up to the table and told me I'm required to tip 18 percent. I said where does it say that? He says on the receipt. I told him that says suggestions not required and that I could give him 0 tip. He proceeds to make a huge scene about the 2 extra bucks I need to pay. I finally cave because my friends were very very uncomfortable. As we leave my friend said the guy was a talking shit in Vietnamese to his employees about us. My recommendation is to go somewhere else. This was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had and all over 2 dollars that they didn't deserve. I see why they have a low yelp review.

She said let's go eat Chinese food and I thought, oh lord, another Panda Express or some hole in wall that had the generic dishes from takeout restaurants. I'm used to driving to VA for more authenticity, but I was surprised! Didn't know this gem existed in this area! Cantonese and Hong Kong food and more! They catered to all Asian ethnicities with focus on hometown favorites that my mom used to make me, and I was so excited when I saw the menu. The place was smaller than expected but packed with people! I thought I was in NYC for a bit, but nope, just Rockville. We had a specialty fish dish, along with a few of their specials that had beef and vegetables. Okay, I grew up in a Chinese Restaurant, but if you wanted me to list out the specialty dishes, I can't. I really was just busy being surprised and busy eating. And we ate ALOT! Food was great! I would definitely come back here more often. I do like that there were a lot of locals who were there, so you know it's a good place! There's no basic dishes here, just authentic and tasty!

Perfectly crispy on the outside, bursting with flavor, while the inside is incredibly tender and equally flavorful. Absolutely delicious! Pan-Fried Seafood & Chive Dumplings -- Just Okay Disappointing compared to what I'm used to in LA, where you actually get big, plump shrimp. Here, it was mostly chives mixed with what seemed like seafood paste. The skin was also too thick and doughy. However, the filling was very flavorful, which somewhat made up for its shortcomings. Seafood with Crispy Rice -- I'd Say Skip It! The homemade crispy rice was ridiculously hard, barely edible even after soaking in the soup! The soup contained shrimp, fish, homemade fish balls, bok choy, wood ear mushrooms, white beech mushrooms, and thinly sliced carrots (IMHO, mostly for color). While flavorful, the broth had a slight fishiness. The highlight was definitely the homemade fish balls stuffed with fresh scallops! Never had anything like them before! Dry-Fried Cauliflower -- DEFINITELY ORDER IT! Soooo good! Crispy, crunchy cauliflower in a light batter, packed with flavor and a nice spicy kick. The cilantro adds freshness and fragrance that take this dish to another level. A must-order! Scallion Bubble Pancake -- Overhyped, IMHO! Honestly, I don't understand the hype! It's basically Indian bhatura, but without the chewiness. And why call it "scallion" when there's absolutely no scallion flavor or visible scallions? The curry dipping sauce was thick (seemingly from cornstarch) and so mild it was barely noticeable. The pancake was decent while hot but turned hard once cooled, unlike bhatura. I LOVE the concept, but the execution falls short. Add actual chopped scallions and either ditch the curry sauce or make its flavor much bolder! Sesame Noodles -- SKIP IT! Another of their most popular and highly recommended dishes, but I've definitely had better elsewhere! The noodles were dry even after mixing in all the sauce, and the flavor was underwhelming. We didn't even finish it. Overall: The Cumin Lamb Bites and Dry-Fried Cauliflower were the clear winners! The rest ranged from just okay to disappointing, especially given all the hype.

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. The restaurant is located in a shopping center with many other retailers, so parking is a non issue. I always appreciate good food that is easily accessible without struggling to find parking while out and about with two young kids. We ordered various items from the menu: - Chicken Leg Noodle Soup - My kids loved this. 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. It comes cut into slices, making it easily shareable for the table. - Cucumber with Garlic - Simple dish, but the garlic sauce really makes it memorable. The staff here were great, they were extra mindful of dish placement near my young kids which I really appreciated. All items came out quickly and just as requested. I have visited other locations throughout the DMV and this location was consistent with what I experienced at other locations... friendly staff and delicious food all at a reasonable price.

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.
