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
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
great vibe nice service the food was great and dim sum was great too will come back visit soon
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...
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.
Service 5/5 Our personal server was great; no complaints. The food came out quickly and the server was attentive. We found something not to our liking with a dumpling, and they told the manager right away. Ambience 2/5 We dined here as a party of 4 for an early Lunar New Year celebration. A few others had the same idea... one group in particular was pretty big, and had 4+ kids. They were really noisy the entire night, playing with the restaurant curtains, and running around the restaurant making noises and screaming. The dining area was a smaller space and tables were close together, so it was noisy the entire night. One diner was being seated and the seat randomly broke. It was a type of weave design and the support must have given out and the back stretched much further out. Things not reflective on the restaurant perse because it was out of their control, but random different happenings attracted many glances throughout our dining experience. Food 3/5 The dim sum of the shrimp rice crepe and siu mai were okay. I really didn't like how both of them were warm but not hot- didn't taste fresh. (We also found some plastic in our siu mai... but appreciated how the restaurant handled it when we brought it to their attention.) The shrimp in the shrimp rice crepe was not flavorful and mushy.. Other dim sum places I've been to do these dishes better. The entrees proved to be better. The walnut shrimp was good, but also came lukewarm/not hot. It was also VERY mayonnaise-y. The mayo flavor overpowered other flavors of the dish. The pork tofu casserole was my favorite dish of the night. Maybe because it came in a stone pot so it was the one dish that actually came hot, and stayed hot. But also had great flavoring. The Pan fried noodle was also good, could have used more flavoring but it overall tasty. The vegetables were good but again, not served very hot and just barely warm.. The desserts were good. I liked the egg tarts. The sesame balls were gelatinous, I'm not a big fan but that's a personal preference not an objective review of the dish. read more
Went with a friend to try their dim sum lunch and it was delicious! For starters it is beautiful inside. So it is nice to go to a nice Chinese Restaurant rather than a hole in the wall in a strip mall. We tried steamed shrimp dumplings, steamed pork crepe, half a peking duck, beef chow fun noodles and Portuguese custard tarts for dessert. The prices were very reasonable, all the food tasted great, and we had no complaints. The staff were attentive and regularly checked on us for drink refills and such. We had some leftovers for sure. Surprisingly the Peking Duck was really good! I love Peking duck and it was great! I highly recommend giving it a shot if you like dim sum! Nice to have a good place to go in Tyson's! read more
I was pleasantly surprised with my first visit to Han palace. We decided to go early on Sunday morning and was seated with no wait. However, we saw a huge line built up as we were leaving so I would recommend coming as early as possible. We ordered a variety of dishes and out favorites were the roasted duck, purple yolk buns, and steamed post dumplings with crab roe. Everything cam out hot and fresh and very quick too. We may have gotten lucky because we sat right by the waiter area so were able to get service quick. I do see other reviews about the long wait. The prices were slightly higher than other dim sum restaurants in the area. I am not surprised considering it is in the Tyson's are and the design of the restaurant felt upscale. read more
Definitely one of the better chinese restaurants in the area. Everything was clean and the food was delicious. The service was a bit slow and took some time for the waitress to get our order, but food came out promptly. I really like the all day dimsum concept because I can order some dimsum items AND dinner items as well. For dimsum, it is a bit pricey though than other places. What I recommend: - salty fish chicken fried rice: if you are familiar with this dish, this place probably has the best in the area so far. They dont skimp on the salty fish!!! - soft shell crabs (duh) - egg tart what i would pass on: (in my opinion) - char siu - salted egg yolk prawns (didnt really taste the salted egg flavor) Side note: The cute rabbit dessert was almost too cute to eat!!! Almost felt bad eating it hahaha but this dessert is really good for someone who likes coconut or wants something refreshing after a heavy meal read more

5-stars bc of authenticity + convenience! As most ppl already know, there aren't many good (quality or value) Chinese options in NoVA. To my knowledge, there's Mama Chang's -- quality dishes at a co$t! And then you have a couple other spots that aren't really worth mentioning. Unfortunately, everything else worth mentioning is pretty much in Rockville, MD. I've gotten takeout from Han Palace about 5 times -- 4 visits were regular menu items, and 1 visit was specifically to test out their dim sum. Regular food (worth noting): *Dry Beef Chow Fun (5/5) great flavor, consistency, portion *Jumbo Honey Walnut Shrimp (5/5) scrumptious! Yang Chow Fried Rice (1/5) extremely bland (lacks flavor), rice (short grain?!?!) was horrendous Dim Sum: Most dishes (steamed shrimp rice crepe, steamed shrimp dumpling, deep fried taro dumpling, steamed pork ribs w garlic, portuguese custard tarts, pan fried turnip cake, 'xo sauce roasted duck' crepe) were up to par (NY/CA standards) *Roast pork buns - sorta reminded me of Tim Ho Wan's signature buns *Purple gold yolk bun - must try if you're into chinese buns *Almond Ball w Custard Yolk Heart - SOLID Scallop dumpling - pretty mehhhh (don't bother) Han Palace is a welcoming addition to Tysons. From a quality standpoint, most dishes are well-crafted and taste good (enough). For those interested in dim sum, I would highly recommend eating there. I don't know about other people but I prefer my dim sum piping hot, coupled w a pot of hot tea. If you get dim sum (takeout), I can pretty much guarantee most, if not all, of the food will be lukewarm or room temp by the time you get to it. Then you'll be forced to eat it (as is...) or nuke/toast/pan fry EVERYTHING to get it to the proper temp. Definitely not the experience I desire, esp when you're paying a premium for most items. read more
Was craving dim sum so we decided to give this place a try. Came in on Friday around 1ish and it was some what packed. I ordered crab balls, turnip cake, fried taro balls, beef chow fun, pork shumai, shrimp dumplings, pork buns, chicken feet, crispy pork belly, steamed shrimp rolls, yeah there was only three of us lol. The intent was to take them home since we live pretty far. I did not like any of the dishes as they were very bland. The turnip cake was very mushy as though it was pulled out of the steamer too early. Chow fun was super bland and they used the smaller noodles. Crispy pork was not even crispy, didn't taste any five spice or spices. Overall it's ok, points for a nice decorative place but the dishes are bland, even soy sauce didn't help. It's no Fortune, I miss that dim sum place. read more
Service was okay. They don't check on you often so it's hard to place orders once you are seated, order right when you sit down as much as you can because it's hard to get the waiter/waitress attention again. The dumplings were just okay, they weren't different than any other place. We got the beef ribs and it is SUPER CHEWY, we didn't finish it. The bubbles tea cost about $8 each but you get to keep the cute star bottle. I wouldn't come again since it was a bit far but not impressive to me! read more
I decided to revisit Han Palace on Sunday, June 6, 2021 at 11:30 am. After 7+ months after opening, it's crazy to me that Han Place has yet to sort out their organization issues. A few minutes before opening, there is already a long line outside. Since my party had a reservation at 11:30, we skipped the line and entered the restaurant only to be confronted by a woman coming in after us and claimed that we were skipping the line. I kindly told her and the server (not the hostesses) that we had a reservation. The woman didn't understand and began to argue, but I didn't want to waste a breath with her and followed the server to our table. The server didn't even check that we had a reservation with the hostess or anything - which seemed chaotic to me. After perusing the menu, we placed all of our dim sum orders all at once knowing how short-staffed Han Palace seem to be and how infrequent our server came to our table. All of the food came out in reasonable time with the exception of one dish. I think the overall quality of the food is a solid 4/5. The food tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and not oily like most rundown Chinese restaurants. My only criticism about the food was that the desserts such as the egg custard and pineapple buns, which are staple dim sum desserts, were overly sweet with an overwhelming, aftertaste. Service definitely still needed improvements. I feel like they're overwhelmed. Our server only came to take orders and deliver food, but never once came to refill waters. Ambience is pretty nice and clean, as to be expected in the Tyson area. But the restaurant didn't seem like they had good air conditioning. I would rate Han Palace a solid 4/5 stars, but the poor service and the uncomfortable dining experience from lack of air conditioning is enough to demote to 3 stars. read more
Beyond disappointing. Met a friend for dim sum on Sunday morning when they opened (we had a reservation for 11:30 am outside). The line wrapped outside of the restaurant, down the stairs and around the corner. We probably waited about 20 minutes until getting inside, where we were told we missed our reservation time. Apparently - if you have a reservation you are to skip the line (no one ever explained that or came outside to announce). Less than zero social distancing enforced and the lack of COVID measures taken made me a little worried for days after dining here. Temp is taken INSIDE once you've been exposed to all of the pushy people OUTSIDE. Service was beyond horrible. Beyond. We sat outside for at least 20 minutes before a server acknowledged us or gave us water. We attempted to order from the menu and we were told they didn't know how long food will take since the kitchen is backed up with take out, probably 30 minutes. Bizarre comment - wouldn't diners take precedence over take out? Luckily we DID order duck and noodles since everyone outside was forgotten with the dim sum. One person appeared every 20 minutes or so and was converged upon like vultures so you were lucky if you even sampled anything. No push carts as I'm accustomed to - someone carried stacked trays of dim sum and rarely did a sauce appear to accompany. As much as I miss and love dim sum, I won't be back. It's just an environment I don't want to be in (COVID or otherwise) as it is managed so poorly. A lovely brunch turned into an hour and a half of chaos and an empty stomach. read more
This restaurant was recommended by my Chinese friend. The ambiance is very nice and clean inside the restaurant. The service is very friendly. The food is nicely seasoned and not too oily. So this is not a typical fast food Chinese take out. I would say the flavor is Americanized but I enjoyed all the food. read more

Food came out pretty quickly. Delicious. Nice atmosphere and decoration. enjoyed the dumplings, cucumber, and scallion pancakes. read more
I had carry out before and this is my first dine in experience. Most food were frozen and pre made. Chow fun was terrible with noodles broken into little pieces. Price is higher than other dim sum places. Some staff were rude. Won't come back. read more
I've been to a fair share of dimsum places around New York and let me just say, Han Palace is comparable to them. Don't get me wrong, I love the dimsum places around NOVA and have been since I was a kid, but those establishments have not been updated period. Other dimsum places are also a bit inconsistent when it comes to their food as well. Han Palace on the other hand represents dimsum as classy and modern without changing the authenticity. The interior of this place is AMAZING. I love everything from the utensils to the plates. Food wise, they have a great variety of dumplings and desserts, something you cannot find in other dimsum establishments. A few favorites of mine include the sticky rice in lotus leaves, yolk buns, and crab meat dumplings. I am looking forward into trying the happy hour one day! read more
I'm glad I read the elite reviews because this place is definitely 4 or 4.5 stars. I really do miss eating good dim sum ever since leaving Cali. I was really happy that this place opened up and I read that the chefs are from New York or something. Overall it was great tasting and they had all the regular stuff you find. Shu mai, short ribs, bbq pork buns, shrimp dumplings, scallop dumping, etc. The almond bun was good and the special purple gold yolk bun was great. They even had peking duck and that was pretty legit tasting. Only caveat was that the food could have been more hot when coming out to us. Like usually there are carts that go around with the food inside it that make it hot but they don't have the carts so I guess some of it is pre-prepared already. I like my food fresh and hot! As for Covid safety, they had someone checking our temps right when we got through the door and the tables were spaced out that I felt comfortable. Living in NOVA, I'm always up for more dim sum places and this one sets the bar a little higher. read more
Despite the less than favorable reviews, my experience here was very positive. I showed up right when they opened so I was seated right away. Service was attentive, refilled my water without asking and brought out my food in a timely matter. I tried the shu mai, har gow, scallop dumplings, crab dumplings etc. and they were all fresh and tasty morsels. I'm so used to driving to Rockville for dim sum since NoVa is a bit underwhelming in the dim sum department, but I'd actually come back here. I also tried the taro salted egg buns and it was one of the best I've ever had. I've had salted egg buns in Cali, Canada, Asia so that's saying something! Han Palace is a new restaurant and I feel people should cut them some slack, especially during a pandemic. read more

The Peking duck was great here and the crispy pork belly is always a great option to pick up. Wasn't a big fan of the dim sum that we had but the staff worked quickly. Would definitely come back for the Peking duck or pork belly and possibly try one of their other dishes. Overall the restaurant is in a great location for easy parking and you can be in and out quickly for a quick bite. read more

I went with a few friends for a weeknight dinner at Han Palace several weeks ago. It was mentioned in their website that they only accept reservations during weekends so we just walked in - only to be asked by the receptionist if we made reservations. Anyway, the place wasn't crowded so we got seated right away. We were served water the first time, but it was a challenge to get refills the rest of the evening. We were a little disappointed that a lot of the dim sum we wanted to try are not readily available and we had to settle for what they can serve us at one time. I have to say that the quality of the dim sum we were able to try were impressive, except that we had to wait for another batch of steamed dim sum which was frustrating because we were hungry. We ordered some entrees like Lobster Sticky Fried Rice and Crispy Walnut Shrimp which are both exceptional. The service was a little chaotic - we do not have an assigned server and it was challenging to call their attention for just about anything. I'm probably going to return if they improve their services and their dim sum service but otherwise, I wouldn't drive to Tyson's Corner for this restaurant. read more

Super pretty restaurant. Kinda like upscale dim sum. Alright food. Came for a friends birthday and my first impression was that the restaurant was soooo pretty. The plates and table were beautiful tbh and even the ceiling was pretty. The teapot was clear and you can see the tea flowers and leaves. Definitely pic worthy. I didn't care for the service. My friends ordered for us and I didn't have any interaction with any servers. We had a pretty big party too so I was occupied with eating and enjoying my friends. I thought our food came out at an average time. Our tea was refilled when we asked. I thought the menu had a lot, but didn't hVe a lot of the food I like to get at dim sum. Everything I had was still good! You could def get same quality food for cheap tho. You def are paying for the "higher class" experience. Again as if I hadn't said it enough, the plates were fr so pretty LOL. Overall good experience for me! read more

Spot it pretty good. Would I say my favorite Chinese spot? No but for dim sum, I'd come back. We got all the dumplings and shared the chow fun with beef and lobster fried rice. Dumplings are definitely worth coming back for. They were delicious! They came out quickly too. The duck and pork was good! Crispy bbq was a little too dry. The chow fun was good as well (sorry didn't take a picture). Service was slow at first, we sat at the bar, and it took them a second to help us out. But after that, service was great. He checked on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. He was nice and gave us suggestions. read more
Maybe the closest you can get to authentic Chinese food in the Tysons area. We saw that every table was filled with Chinese people. The seafood pan fried noodles were great. The dim sum was okay, not the best I've ever had. The ambience was nice, and free parking. read more

Service was okay.. I was quite lost what was going on. I can't imagine for people that don't know how dim sum works, but our waiter had a waiting for a long time to order, and a lot of the orders were not available, so we ate what we didn't order. I did enjoy the shrimp dumplings and their crepes! All in all, I thought their food was average, nothing too special. Just the service was alright.. But if you haven't tried this place, I would recommend if you're craving for some dim sum any time of the day! read more
I've been here a handful of times and have never had issues with service, but I've only ever come with one other person. I literally dream about their baked bbq pork buns, but everything else on the menu is pretty standard. I like that they offer 1/4, 1/2, or a whole roasted duck, and I like that garage parking is validated. Shrimp rice crepes were just okay. Come early (as soon as they open) if you want to even think about being sat within the first hour of opening. The ambiance is pretty busy but never loud enough that I am struggling to hear my conversation- plus I've only gone on the weekend. read more

Longtime patron (5+ years). Have turned a blind eye to this once great establishment slowly reducing quality and protein portions, presumably to save costs. The restaurant at my visit tonight had the thermostat displaying 81 DEGREEES. The wait staff were also perspiring and/or openly sweating. Couldn't imagine what the poor chefs were going through. Hope none of it got in anyone's food. read more

Han Palace is a nicer scale dim sum spot in the middle of Tysons Corner with the prettiest dim sum I ever did see. Its location is kind of in an odd spot - it's the part of Tysons that's still underway for expansion. There's construction spots here and there, various apartment complexes, office buildings, and even a Solidcore. The one thing the area is lacking is restaurants so I'm interested to see how the area develops and time goes on. The nice part about it being located in an unassuming spot in Tysons, there's free parking! Like I mentioned, Han Palace is a bit more upscale. The decor is all new and has a sleek modern-Asian vibe. Although the restaurant itself is new and modern, the service seems to stick to its typical dim sum roots - the staff is slightly cold, but they get the job done. Kind of what's to be expected from any decent Asian restaurant :D Steamed Chive dumplings (4/5) - the wrapper was the right thickness and had the right bite to it, however, the flavor was just okay. Nothing special Steamed shrimp rice crepe (5/5) - again the wrapper was made perfectly, they put giant pieces of shrimp in the middle, and the sauce was delish Purple gold yolk bun (5/5) - absolutely loved these! They're slightly sweet, fluffy, and just amazing. Definitely the highlight of the meal. I could eat 5 of these Sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves (4/5) - decent nothing special Spare ribs (4/5) - I don't usually get spare ribs like this but I was pleasantly surprised, flavor was good and cooked well Garlic snow pea leafs (5/5) - can't go wrong with garlic veggies Pan fried turnip cake (4/5) - wish these were a bit crispier on the outside, flavor was good Because I live so close to Han Palace, I would definitely come back for those Purple gold yolk buns and to try their other dishes. I will say, I very much appreciate the traditional dim sum madhouse with the staff quickly rolling carts all around the dining room floor and giant groups of 8+ gathered around massive round tables yelling at each other because the room is so loud. Plus, Han Palace is slightly more expensive that other dim sum spots. But for the close distance, I'd definitely come to Han Palace when I'm craving dim sum. read more
Decent dim sum spot in the DMV. My favorites were the purple egg yolk bun (dessert), the roasted duck (fyi, doesn't come with rice), and the fried shrimp ball (good size and not too fried and heavy which I appreciated). While the food was decent, it's not the best I've had. One of my favorite dim sum eats is the steamed shrimp roll crepe. This shrimp to crepe ratio was off. There was too much dough and only 2 little shrimps per roll. So some of the options were good and others missed the mark in my book. The restaurant was decently busy but not overcrowded. I didn't like that it didn't seem very clean. The table numbers were coming off, which is surprise because they just recently opened.. one of our menus had hair stuck to it so... was it cleaned in between customers? Aside from that, the service was okay. Right when we sat someone asked us every minute (no joke) if we were ready to order. But then after we did, it took awhile for the table to be cleared and for us to be able to order dessert. The flow didn't seem all the best. However one positive note about the service is that food comes out very very fast. read more

Thank you for your feedback & review. Sorry for your experience. We…
I had to try this place as soon as it opened as the TenPenh the restaurant that used to be in their location used to be my absolute favorite. I tried it again several months after their opening. They are a solid 3 stars. 1. Food - decent, but nothing special. dumpling soup - rather cold and the oil started floating soon after shrimp crepe - decent, but nothing special beef chow fun - this is normally my favorite food. it was good, very few meat and didn't like the sprouts that wasn't cooked. it just didn't go well with the meal sesame balls - barely warm. I was hoping for fresh, hot ones. 2. Decor - great They kept the same organization, furniture and decor from the previous restaurant with a few added items to make it more Chinese than it used to be. The plates and cups were pretty, but not very matchy. 3. Service - attentive but slow They were very nice and checks on us a lot probably because we were the only table really in the whole place. All servers checked on us, but just when we needed to leave and wanted to pay, couldn't find anyone. Which was very disappointing. All in all, great place to have family or business dinner thanks to its interior and overall set up. It is just that food wasn't very impressive. read more
I see a lot of the bad reviews here are about the service. It's your typical Chinese service where the quality of the food will outshine everything. I actually prefer this without having to deal with the fake niceness and small talk you usually get from servers. I came here with my family and we ordered a ton of items which all came out extremely fast! For drinks, I recommend the chrysanthemum tea and they also provide rock sugar if you ask for it. My favorite entree here is the seafood pan fried noodles. It's a large dish with crispy noodles on top that balance perfectly with the soft meat, mixed vegetables, and creamy sauce. I also love their chicken feet, shrimp crepe, and fried taro puffs! Some of the items have a beautiful purple color to it which was fun to see. You can't go wrong with anything here! read more
Hands down, one the best higher end Chinese restaurants I have eaten at in a long time! Prices are extremely reasonable and service is nothing short of excellent! Chris always takes care of everyone like they are good friends. The staff was extremely friendly and flexible. We ate a lot: Regular menu Peking duck - some of the best peking duck I've had. The skin was crispy with just enough fat for flavor and the meat was so tender. Salted fish and chicken fried rice - salted fish fried rice compliments almost any dish. Get this here! Steamed Cod fish - served steaming chaffing dish with scallions and a soy over top. It was melt in your mouth. Definitely ordering this for every special occasion. Seafood Chow fun - huge scallops, shrimp, and squid. They certainly do not skimp. Dim sum Purple egg buns - Super cute & IG worthy Deep fried crab ball - HUGE yet not lacking in flavor one bit. All shrimp and crab, little filler. Definitely worth the price. Steamed shrimp crepe - one of my favorite dim sum dishes. They were addictive here. Thin rice noodle that is just thick enough to hold the plump, lightly seasoned shrimp inside. The sauce was mildly sweet and complimented the rice crepes. We ordered a second round. Steamed shrimp dumpling - the dumpling skin was just thick enough to hold the succulent shrimp inside. Shumai - plump shrimp on top of dumpling wrapped, juicy pork. I could've eaten a whole basket of these by myself. Chicken feet - mildly sweet, five spice seasoned chicken feet. One could get addicted to these. Steamed pork spare ribs in garlic - juicy spare ribs with a savory, garlicky comforting taste. The bartender Alice even hooked up our table with a round of rainbow shots for my birthday! Make sure you tip her well. We savored the leftovers because we knew we couldn't return as soon or as often as we would want. We're still talking about the peking duck, fish, and crab balls. Waiting on another occasion to return, might have to just make up one. Some dishes not pictured because the group was hungry. read more

Came here for a wedding lunch and everyone left white happy. The staff was quite accommodating and cheerful. The food was plenty and hot, and most importantly well made. Even though it was a dessert dish, everyone fawned over the custard buns at the end. read more

They said that they don't when we asked. However, I would still ask whether or not any particular dish itself has peanuts or other allergens in it
