Not all chains are created equal. Reviews confirmed that and I trusted them enough to travel to the Woodley Park location for the best experience. It did not disappoint. Easy street parking got me inside just before the 2:30pm brunch cutoff. The vibe inside was immediately inviting. Cute trees growing in the center, real or not I was not brave enough to touch them, and well appointed tables throughout. We sat at the bar, ordered a Mai Tai and it arrived quickly. The service set the tone from the moment we sat down. We started with egg drop and hot and sour soup. Egg drop is my go to and I make it a point to try it wherever it appears on the menu. This one is one of the better ones in the area. Served hot and full of flavor. No enhancements needed. Then on to shrimp dumplings, roasted pork bun, and pork dumplings. The pork dumplings were my favorite and the roasted pork bun was my guest's. We could have stopped right there and been happy. One word of advice, the chili oil served on the table is super hot. We did not expect it so be careful when using. It is so good but it will catch you off guard! The shared entrees were the Han Style Peking Duck and Yang Chow Fried Rice. We have had Peking Duck previously at Philippe Chow and this one outperformed it. Served without the tableside theatrics but delivering every bit of the flavor. Goes to show sometimes good meals do not need the pomp and circumstance. Even though I love the thrills. The Yang Chow Fried Rice was not your typical version. The pork was marinated sweeter than anything I have had before and it elevated the whole dish in the best way. If you're going for a more traditional take on fried rice this would not be your go to. We ended with sesame balls served warm. Like a donut but with a not overwhelming sweetness. Filled with something I could not quite identify but it did not matter. A great ending to the meal. The bartender was attentive and reading the room the entire time. The next Mai Tai arrived right as I took the last sip of the first. I could not finish it completely but it was that good. All hands on deck made the food ordering and arrival quick and efficient. One honest note worth sharing. Han's Palace adds 20% gratuity to the menu but the bill comes out prompting you to select a tip again. Easy to miss. I went back in after visiting a spot next door to flag it and the waiter assured me nothing additional was charged even though I selected more. Noble of them. Just something to be mindful of when you go. Han's Palace Woodley Park is a gathering worth coming back to and the perfect starting point for a full day of fun in the surrounding area. Especially if you have family or friends visiting the city.
My friend was in town for a family event and she stayed with me, yay! I was invited to join her for dinner with about six other family members. We took Metro from Silver spring since this restaurant is right across the street from the Woodley Park Metro. We had a large table at the back of the restaurant. Service was great. Very welcoming. We ordered lots of egg rolls and fried rice prior to our main entrees. I had the crispy eggplant. My waitress asked if it was OK that it was sweet and I said sure. And it sure was sweet. It tasted like dessert! That's a good thing in my book. Who doesn't love dessert?! It was the perfect venue to catch up with some of my friend's relatives I haven't seen in ages. Everyone loved their food. My friend ordered the Mongolian beef and there was a couple pieces of beef she didn't eat that I tucked in my take on box for a treat for my pooch. She loved it too!
the bottomless cocktails at this location are STRONG. You won't see the promotion on the menu but once you get to the restaurant, it's on a black sign outside the restaurant. THEY WALK AROUND FILLING YOUR CUP WHEN YOU'RE ALMOST DONE so it feels like you never really finish your first one. The food was good, didn't take long for us to start eating after placing an order. We had the pan-fried dumplings which were delicious, dry beef chow fun and the orange chicken with 2 bowls of white rice for each of us. All the food is honestly made to share here, and we left FULL. they don't take reservations; it's first come first serve on who they seat but they do their best to make sure you're accommodated if they have room for you.
Han Palace Woodley Park is a convenient location for the surrounding area since most traditional Chinese restaurants are near downtown DC or elsewhere. This is a much needed addition to the Connecticut Ave corridor which lacks authentic Chinese restaurants and especially Dim Sum (brunch small plates). I hope that there are more choices like this in the near future for this surrounding area which lacks good traditional Chinese restaurants. The parking can be daunting since it still is in DC, might have a bit of a walk but that is everywhere in DC. The food was fast and had some unique choices that are not on a standard menu.
Savory, perfectly cooked noodles. Good texture from the dumplings. Nice setting on the inside makes it feel more upscale than the prices. Fast service. No complaints! We ordered a la carte so next time we'll try the ayce menu. Located steps away from the nearest metro station.
Do not go here! They literally don't cook anything from scratch here. The pan fried chicken and vegetable and pan fried beef and vegetable dumplings are frozen BIBIGO dumplings they just reheated. The scallion pancakes are also store bought and drenched in oil, basically uneatable. I was shocked at how rude the waitress was, when my friends and I ordered our meal or just tried to ask for the bill, she was obviously annoyed. There was a table next to us with small kids that she glared at the whole time and replaced their plates with styrofoam plates... This restaurant is not authentic and there weren't any other asian customers. The menu says salted fish on it and when we asked what kind of fish it was, the waitress said it was a big fish, but then the chef came out and said it was fish SAUCE not real fish. The wontons in my wonton soup were cold in the middle. So disappointed, my group ordered a lot of food and wasn't satisfied with the meal so we ended up going to a different restaurant across the street afterwards.
This is a cute, quaint space with excellent service and quality food. I had time restrictions do the staff advised most times could be served in 10 to 15 minutes. The server was patient with any questions regarding the menu. I ordered the egg rolls and general tso shrimp (not on the menu). If you see something you like but prefer different meat or vegetable preferences they may be able to accommodate you. The egg rolls were standard but the sauce was tastless below par. A generic duck sauce tastes better. Typically places on this scale have a better quality sauce with a nice balanced flavor. The general tso shrimp was a good portion, sizeable shrimp and had a good flavor.
If neon slime food this is the place to go! Very pretty restaurant tho... ambiance was nice. Food skip
One of the best dim sum places! Drinks are yummy, food is amazing, and now I hear they do an all you can eat option. Obviously I'll have to go back for all you can eat. This is a must stop if you are in the area! Great decor and atmosphere and the staff were friendly and helpful with what their favorites were!
I had a great lunch here with my friends, exceeded my expectation. The decoration was traditional Chinese, good taste, pleasant and comfortable. We ordered several dim sums and some entrees. They were all good and delicious. I'm most impressed with 5*steamed CHILEAN SEA BASS 清蒸鱈魚: tender and delicious. 4.5*SALT & PEPPER SHRIMP椒盐虾球: very good and not salty at all. Just right. Every dish was good, i ended up eating too much. I had a great experience with here with the outstanding service and food.
I think Han Palace serves its purpose. By that, I mean to say it definitely brings a different version of "Chinese food" to a non-Chinese neighborhood. The food is 100% inauthentically Chinese but it's also not Americanized Chinese food. The taste wasn't bad and the visuals resembled Chinese food! There were lots of curious culinary missteps; so let's dive in! Misstep #1: the salty fish fried rice was WAY too salty and that made the overall taste subpar. But the saving grace of this dish was that every other component works! The eggs, chicken, and scallions were spot on! If this dish just removed the salty fish, then the dish would have been perfect. So why not just drop the salty fish in its entirety? Misstep #2: the steamed chicken feet was too sweet. This dish CAN be sweet but you have to counterbalance the sweetness with other flavors. The dish that I received was, unfortunately, a bit too sweet. Highlight: everything else about the dish was great (nice texture, spot on with the marination, not oily or greasy) Misstep #3: pork ribs were way too oily. When you steam a pork rib, fatty oil will naturally ooze out of the ribs. The restaurant made the mistake of over-marinating the ribs with too much oil. The taste was good minus the oily part. Misstep #4: I didn't even taste the bean curd in the "Bean Curd with Beef Ball." IDK if the bean curd was suppose to come with the dish or go inside of beef balls. Highlight, the beef ball tasted great though. Bright spots; chow fun and gold/purple yolk buns were amazing. Also, four dim sum dishes + a chow fun + a fried rice for $61 (post tax) is nicely priced. The portions were also fair for the price and location. The service was superb. The staff members were attentive and warm. So to summarize: taste was inconsistent, service was great, and one can expect to eat food that looks like Chinese food but is actually disguised as some other food. Overall, 2.5/5 bumped up to a 3/5.
Reviews are mixed. Many praise the flavorful dim sum, strong drinks, and inviting ambiance.

Fantastic tasty food, superb customer service and the place was clean! Immediately we were welcomed warmly. We ordered the premium all you can eat option for $48 per person and it was worth every penny! Bottomless Mimosas at $18 per person worth every cent too! I love this place! Go! GO!! GO!!! read more
We stopped by on the way to the zoo for a quick bite on a Saturday morning. The restaurant was able to accommodate us right away even though it was very busy. We opted for the soup dumplings and Peking duck. Both were very delicious. The dumpling was Full of flavor and soup and the Peking duck crispy and the sauce was perfect. I enjoyed the service and ambiance and would visit again! read more

Came here for a birthday dinner yesterday and it was solid. They have an all day happy hour and bottomless drink options. I got the bottomless lemon drop option. It seemed to be batched (which makes sense), but that definitely affected the quality of the drink. They were just okay. Also it was disappointing to learn that you can't switch drinks when doing bottomless. Doesn't make sense to me. Now for the food, everything was tasty. I got the scallop dumplings to start. They were pretty good. I dipped mine in soy sauce and that made them much better. For my entree, I asked if they could make shrimp & broccoli in garlic sauce (my go-to Chinese take out order) since it wasn't on the menu and they delivered. I found it funny that the waitress commented that the garlic sauce was very spicy and then the person that brought out my food said the same thing. I thought to myself maybe I should be concerned. It ended up barely being spicy lol. It was good and they give a large portion of the shrimp & broccoli. I had plenty to pack up and asked for extra rice to put with it. read more

Han Palace is a cute restaurant right off the Woodley Park metro stop. I had seen a lot of people raving about this spot, so I wanted to check it out for myself since I love dumplings! We were quickly seated upon arrival. The decor was very cute, and there was both indoor and outdoor seating which made the restaurant a little warm. We visited with friends who each got their own entrees. I ordered the Soup Dumplings and Pork Buns and tried a bit of my husband's Han Style Peking Duck. We also got the Purple Gold Yolk Buns for dessert. The food was actually so good! The dumplings and pork buns were warm and had good flavors. The duck had a nice, crispy skin. The dessert buns were warm, with a gooey center. Only complaint is that I think the staff had forgotten about my soup dumplings and by the time I actually got them, the rest of the table had finished eating. But, our server was great and not only apologized but took the dumplings off our check. Definitely give Han Palace a try if you're in the area! read more
Went here for lunch on a Saturday morning. Very cute restaurant with wonderful decor. The restaurant was spacious and had a lot of seating for a variety of group sizes. The service was very fast, quick to seat us and provide us menus. They gave us time to order as well, being patient as we scanned the menu. Unfortunately, the food was a hit or miss. The soup dumplings were delicious, but small. Some of it came apart as you lifted it up (spilling some of the soup). The pork buns were flavorful but small as well. The pan fried beef & vegetable dumpling was really soggy and did not taste good. The egg drop soup was good as well, but did not stand out for the size and price. The portions and the prices did not match, and sometimes the quality. read more
We were looking for someplace to eat near the Woodley Park Metro stop and this place popped out to me in my Yelp search. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We started our meal with a few things from the dim sum menu - soup dumplings and pork buns. Both were very good! We then moved on to the Mongolian Beef and Lo Mein - we enjoyed those too! My wife and daughter topped it off with the purple gold yolk bun for dessert. Definitely a good spot - I would not hesitate to go back! read more

Came here for the first time with a friend and it was so lovely! We tried a few things to get a nice variety: soup dumplings, spring rolls, shrimp dumplings, pork buns, and crab dumplings. Everything was delicious but I loved the pork buns and soup dumplings the most. Recommend coming with multiple people to get a variety of items to sample together. The decor inside was so fun. They have indoor "trees" which made it a fun atmosphere and the plates and dishes themselves were so pretty! Service was prompt and everyone was very nice and attentive. read more

This was a pleasant lunch, I really enjoyed it. We did the all you can eat option B priced at $50 each. My favorite surprise were the soup dumplings and egg&asparagus soup. Nice surprise from the filet mignon. Beef and broccoli was solid. Wasn't a fan of the crab claw in particular but I'm sure others may enjoy. Service was really good, prompt and friendly. Parking was easy street parking for 3 pm. read more
I came to Han Palace on Wednesday afternoon with my family after a long morning at the zoo. It is about a 10 minute walk from the zoo. Parking is a nightmare so super happy this was within walking distance of the zoo. We did not have reservations and were seated immediately. On the outside you can't tell, but as soon as you enter it is surprisingly spacious inside. We were seated at a round table and were provided a highchair for my son. We ordered multiple dishes and shared as a table: - Shrimp & Chive Dumpling - This comes with 3 pieces. It came out steaming hot, this was my favorite dish that we ordered. - Golden Roasted Chicken - The chicken was cooked to perfection, the meat wasn't dry. The meat was very juicy and flavorful and the skin was crisp and crunchy not overdone and burnt. - Pork Dumpling Fresh Crab Roe - The green color was unique, but the Shrimp & Chive Dumpling were still my favorite. - Shrimp Dumpling - These were good too, but still doesn't beat my favorite dish. - Pork Ribs with Garlic - It was drenched in sauce, so if you like that versus crispy, crunchy like the Golden Roasted Chicken then you will like this. - Snow Pea Leaves - Added some greens to the meal, made fresh like all of the other dishes and well cooked. Overall, the staff were attentive and the food came out quickly. The food was steaming hot and tasted like it was literally right off of the stove. I came here with low expectations as most spots nearby zoos, museums, etc tend to be chain restaurants or tourist traps. Han Palace was fantastic and if I am in the area I would definitely come back :) read more
My friends and I often go to Mark's duck house for Peking duck and Dimsum, but it's a pretty long drive from where we live. So we looked for a similar place in DC. We found this place had great reviews from yelpers. We went there around noon. Not a long wait. Just about 10 mins. Ambiance was awesome! One of the best Chinese restaurants with great ambiance. After we were seated, we found out that this is not a traditional dim sum place. They don't have severe bringing carts of dimsum constantly. They have a huge menu with variety of Chinese food. We ordered a couple of chicken and shrimp dumplings, Peking duck, lamb sizzler and our favorite scallion pancakes. Everything was very delicious. Especially the Peking duck and the lamb dish. I wish they could do our first wrap of Peking duck just like the way they do it at Mark's Duck house. But it wasn't a big deal as we have been eating this for a while and we know exactly how to make a Peking duck wrap. Lamb was so good. Rack of lamb was very tender and juicy. Highly recommend it. We would absolutely go back to this place. We also found parking on the streets. I think we got lucky. I would recommend taking the metro or bikes if you can. Service was great as well! read more
I have always enjoyed dining at the Han Palace located in Virginia. I looked forward to trying the restaurant in Woodley Park. The service and ambiance were wonderful. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. The dining room was beautifully decorated as if you were sitting outside with trees. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The dim sum was small, dry, and overcooked. I would not recommend the pork dumplings with fresh crab roe and bean curd rolls with oyster sauce. For noodles, the dry beef chow fun was salty. For dessert, the purple gold yolk buns were steamed and cooked correctly. One visit is probably enough after this experience. The chefs here should take some cooking lessons from the Virginia restaurant. read more

Takeout Review: All of my takeout experiences from Han Palace have been very good. I consider this place one of the better Chinese restaurants in the city. I used to be a huge patron of Chinese restaurants in Chinatown DC however the quality overall in Chinatown has diminished, so being able to grab delicious Chinese food from Han Palace in Woodley Park is refreshing because the dine-in atmosphere is much more inviting, modern and the food and customer service is better overall. I appreciate the consistent customer service every time which seems to be at a premium and consistently inconsistent these days. The takeout is always fresh and the flavors are incredibly delicious for it to be takeout. What I enjoy most about this place is the takeout portions and takeout quality is no different than if you were to dine in. If you know what I am referring to, it is not uncommon for some restaurants to have takeout portions much smaller than dine-in portions, however, many times there is no difference in price. From what I've observed from diners plates when I pick up my takeout order is Han Palace gives equity with both quality and quantity in both takeout and dine-in orders. Umami flavors are always very well balanced and appropriate. At times Chinese food in the city can either be too bland or too salty, however the balance at this place is seemingly calculated, in a good way. If you're looking for an original and well-made Fried Rice, Lo Mein, General Tso's Chicken, Orange Chicken or Mongolian Beef, this place does them very well. Overall a very good experience. One of these days I will dine in and give that experience a chance. I'm anticipating I will update the review to a 5* after the dine-in experience. read more
This is the second Chinese food/ Peking duck place I've had in DC. They're not the best, just plain mediocre at most. I guess DC is really not known for their Chinese food. Lack of flavors. Lack of taste. Lack of authenticity. Compare to Dallas (where I live), we have better Chinese food. read more
This was my second time at Han Palace and once again I enjoyed my experience there. I will however say that my friends and I were not checked on that much by our waitress but another gentlemen there made sure to tip off our drinks as soon as they got empty so I do appreciated that! Food is exceptional as always and great prices for the meals! The atmosphere in Han is beautiful with all the lights and trees, it gives a nice vibe to the place. I love the bottomless options which makes me want to come back every time ! read more

Came here after visited the zoo, the dim sum was good and the dishes are delicious except the Peking duck, too dried and the pancake was too much flour taste. read more
After we were sat, it took 25 minutes for our server to greet us, not ideal, but we understand it's busy on a Friday night. I got the fruit tea, which comes in a hot glass kettle, with oranges in it. It was delicious, and light. 9/10 The soup was spicy, but not over bearing. There was protein in it, I'd assume chicken, along with other vegetables that made the bowl a well rounded experience. 10/10 The general tso chicken comes with a bowl of white rice, and the chicken is crispy. They sauced it heavily, which I love. 8.5/0 I forgot the name but we got something akin to drunken noodles or pad Thai I think, that was basic but got the job done. Hearty but not an out of this world flavor. 6.5/10 Didn't try the eggrolls or chicken dumplings or shrimp lo mein, but my friends enjoyed them. The soup dumplings were great- no notes 10/10 Parking is good (for DC), and while you are sat in close proximity to other tables, the ambiance is still chill, not too loud. Paid $30/person for a 4 person party which is nice read more

This is definitely one of my favorite dim sum places in DC. Upon entering, I noticed the beautiful decorations and pretty ambience of the place. The tableware was super tasteful and was a nice touch. The employees were super nice and our party was seated right away. Onto the food! So many options and I wanted to try them all, but I controlled myself. Of course we started with the Soup Dumplings, which are one of my all time favorites. We also ordered the Shrimp Dumpling, the Pork Dumpling, the BBQ Pork Bun, and the Chicken and Vegetable Dumpling for the dim sum portion of our order. The Soup Dumplings tasted so fresh and the burst of soup was warm and flavorful. I loved the color of the Shrimp Dumpling-- they were so yummy and fun! The Pork Dumplings stood out because of the tender pork and the perfectly boiled dough. The BBQ Pork Buns you can tell just by looking at them how fresh and homemade they are. Perfect ratio of fluffy bun to flavorful pork. The Chicken and Vegetable Dumplings were a classic and were reliably good. We also ordered the Roasted Crispy Pork, the Braised Pork Belly, and the General Tsos Chicken. The Roasted Crispy Pork was drenched in a delicious savory sauce, with the pork being fried and not as tender. The Braised Pork Belly was good, but I think I am not the biggest fan of pork belly plain, but the meat itself was melt in your mouth. The General Tsos Chicken was fried perfectly and tossed in a mouthwatering sauce. Overall, this was a delicious and filling meal. I would recommend coming in a big group so you can get one of everything on the menu! From the good food, attentive service, and reasonable prices, I do really love this place and highly recommend it for dim sum and more. read more

Now...I wouldn't typically make a second review on the same place, but I feel like it's really needed for this experience. I want to show and let those who may read my review know that there are two sides to this restaurant. This is not about the food. In fact the food is the only reason why this review is getting 2 stars. The quality of the food was once again consistent and completely amazing, I'll probably be getting the same thing when I go back for a third time. It was my service. Absolutely trash compared to my first visit. My friends and I utilized the "All you can drink" and ordered food. We got our food before receiving our drinks, and normally this wouldn't be such a huge deal if we hadn't had to hunt down someone. It was embarrassing. Not only that, once we received our first round, our server immediately gave us the check. Mind you, we had JUST got everything to the table. I was confused and frankly upset, because I noticed her doing it to the table next to us. In fact, she tried to give us our check 2 MORE times while we were in the middle of trying to enjoy ourselves. I don't want to play the race card, but the table next to us was all black as well as I, and I just didn't see her treat her other tables like this..who were white. It's not to say it was true, but it's something I personally need to keep in mind wherever I dine and receive unwarranted bad service like this. All in all? She was a terrible server. I don't know why she was trying to rush us out of there, because there wasn't a time limit, they weren't closing anytime soon, and the tables around us were in and out, so we weren't holding back business. Everyone but her assisted us, it was so embarrassing. I don't even want to use the excuse "it was busy" because this place is a hot spot consistently. When I came here the first, it was even busier, and the service was great. I didn't personally tip her. She made me feel so uncomfortable and rushed for absolutely no reason. I just hope my next visit here will be a little different. read more
After a subpar experience eating takeout from the Barracks Row Han Palace in Capitol Hill, I am pleased to report that the experience at this location was superb; each time we come to this location, it never disappoints. We started with two mojito variations from their drinks menu. While these were a little two sweet, they were enjoyable nonetheless. We ordered both starters and entrees at the same time, and they all came out at the same time, which was appreciated because we were ready for our full meal. We ordered the Dry Beef Chow Fun, the Sesame Chicken (which comes with broccoli and rice), the Scallion Pancake, and the Shrimp Dumplings. The entrees were definitely the highlights of the meal. The noodles were so fresh, not clumped up as can sometimes happen with chow fun, and had good ratios of perfectly cooked beef and spring onion. The Sesame Chicken was ideal; the chicken maintained its crispiness despite the sauce and the portion size was good for sharing between three people. The appetizers were less thrilling but still good; the Scallion Pancake contained very minimal scallions, and tasted like just a crisp pancake rather than the usual scallion flavor. The shrimp dumplings tasted good but were a little small. All in all, was less satisfied with these dishes than with the stellar entrees and will adjust accordingly during future visits. The service is great. The wait staff is consistent, thorough, and happy to oblige requests in a timely manner. I look forward to returning to Han Palace very soon and believe that it ranks amongst the best Chinese food in D.C. read more

I am always down for a dim sum day, and Han Palace has some of the best dim sum in northwest DC! My friend and I ordered three types of dumplings: pork, soup, and pan-fried chicken. All three had their own tastes. I had hoped that the soup dumplings would be larger and more savory, but I liked the flavor all the same. The seafood fried rice came with big pieces of real seafood, which rocked! The flavors could have been stronger overall, but with the sauces on the table we fared well. The Chinese broccoli was very tender but needed more flavor. The service is very attentive, and the restaurant is very cute as well. The prices are high but relatively affordable given the quality and quantity of food. If you're in Woodley Park, i would definitely give this place a try! read more

The food at Han Palace is great and it's definitely a nice upscale Chinese restaurant vibe. They have dim sum and larger plates along with all day HH. I'm not sure if they were short staffed but I went around 6:30 pm on a Tuesday and the service was pretty bad. It took a while to get anyone's attention but with the good HH deal and food choices I would be willing to try again for hopes of better service. read more

Wonderful Chinese food in DC. Food is excellent, service friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is clean and bright. Have been here a couple of time and came away very impressed. I liked: - Soup dumplings - Singapore style noodles - spicy and sweet cucumbers - Chinese broccoli with garlic I did not love the shrimp and walnuts (too much mayo) but other did. They do not take reservations some times but the wait was reasonable. My only complaint is the three televisions which are constantly on, although the sound is off, on top of the bar. I wish that was not there. read more
This place is all that and DIM SUM! A must-try in DC - you'll be all a-BAO it! SIU MAI God - it's all so delicious! The dumplings are WONTON in a million. I recommend the xiao long bao (soup dumplings), shrimp dumplings, chive pancakes, and steamed pork buns (they're BAOtiful)! And make sure you get a pot of tea! The only thing I did not care for were the crab dumplings, but otherwise it's all SIU good! The service is also great. It's clear: this place is no BASKET CASE! The staff is professional, attentive, and quick. A few minor notes: ask for small bowls to pour your soy sauce into. And they don't serve Chinese black vinegar (they have what seems to be red wine vinegar - which is pretty weird - so I actually bring my own Chinese black vinegar to mix with the soy sauce). The atmosphere will give you DUMPLING to talk about. Casual yet intimately decorated, with a fun large fake tree in the center of the restaurant. A very cool spot right in Woodley Park! Han Palace should take a BAO - it may be the best dim sum in DC! read more

Finally found my go to Chinese place! Great quality food, gorgeous interior, friendly staff and delicious. This is the kind of place you become a regular at. Had a really enjoyable dinner here, everything was perfect. My egg drop soup was very thick and hearty. My partner enjoyed their shumai and noodles. We're definitely coming back to try more dumplings! There were so many choices. My only small complaint is, I wish my Mapo tofu had more tofu! Felt like only half the dish was tofu, and the rest was sauce. read more

Not just that insta-perfect picture, Han Palace actually is delicious too! After an inspiring scroll through the socials, the bougie dinner club crew and I decided to shimmy over to see what the hype was all about. Well, seems everyone else had the same Saturday night idea as well. The line was more of a mass than a queue leading to opportunists cutting to the front; makes the line feel like an eat or be eaten Lord of the flies session. Yeah yeah, but was it worth the hour wait we had though Brad?! I'd say it certainly was! You'll see in the pictures that there's excellent colors, ambiance, and variety! While I'm not going to expound much here, simply put, the food is a rare and welcome evidence of why DC has received more and more of a food scene reputation among global foodies. If you're looking for a clean, picture worthy, delicious, and charming themed sit down experience, this Chinese cuisine will confidently meet those requirements. read more
Great dim sum option in a notorious dim sum desert that is DC and decently priced too! I liked their beef chow fun and purple gold yolk bun for dessert. Our group tried different dumplings, scallion pancakes, and pork rib with garlic. We also got the mapo tofu which tasted sweeter than average. Service was attentive and the interior decoration makes you feel so serene with the trees, flowers, and wall art. The designs on the plates and tea pots are also gorgeous. I would definitely return and try more items on their menu because it hits the spot, especially if you don't want to travel to the burbs. read more

Is there parking?
There isn't parking, and street parking is awful. I would say downright scary. You can park with your flasher on for a moment to run in and grab your food.
Do they offer all you can eat dim sum at this location, and if so do you know how much?
No, they only offer AYCE at the Georgetown location!
Do they do cart service here?
I don't think they offer cart service here as space is limited. When we went, we ordered everything a la carte. Super fresh and delicious dim sum!
