I'm excited to share my discovery of this amazingly wonderful new business in northern Virginia!…read more Whether you love dumplings or really haven't tried them before, this is a place that you have to try for yourself!! This business sells the most delicious and well crafted dumplings - all hand crafted by a master noodle maker with 30 years of experience. I've consumed three different types of their dumplings - chicken and celery, pork and cabbage, and shrimp. Each dumpling is plump and well filled with great ingredients - you can taste the freshness! The dumplings come frozen and only require a quick toss into some lightly boiling water. So when you're in the area contact this business and give them a try! It's always great to be able to support a deserving local business!

DELICIOUS, homemade and convenient!!!…read more I found this local gem off of a Northern Virginia Foodies facebook page. Don't be dismayed that this family business is a new one or a small local one! The dumplings are made in a commercial kitchen in Vienna, but you pick up the prepared and frozen raw dumplings from their customer pick-up location in Bristow. They offer a variety of dumplings: shrimp (includes a little bit of spinach), pork & cabbage, pork & leek, chicken & celery, and a vegetarian one. They also offer their special Organic Sweet & Sour Garlic Chili Sauce, which is a MUST HAVE with the dumplings! Don't be scared to have to cook the dumplings yourself! There are a multitude of cooking options available and can yield perfectly delicious dumplings! One can either boil (easiest), steam (healthy), or pan fry (requires the most effort) the dumplings. Just google how to cook Chinese dumplings for each technique. I met the owner's granddaughter, Peggy, who is the face of the company and THE NICEST person you could ever meet. She manages the day-to-day operations, while her grandfather, Mr. Han, handles all of the dumpling making. Three Leaf Dumpling's website touts that Mr. Han has been covered by the Washington Post for his mastery in hand-pulled noodles. From our taste-test of the dumplings we purchased (almost every single flavor), we can vouch that Mr. Han knows what he is doing! Currently, Three Leaf Dumpling is offering 10 additional dumplings for every flavor of order you purchase, in celebration of Chinese New Year. Go and try their dumplings! You will not be disappointed in this little gem!!

We ordered their popular spicy noodles with ground pork, pork and chive dumplings, chicken soup dumplings, and cucumber salad. Everything was a solid 10/10! The flavors were fantastic, the food came out quickly, and the service was great throughout most of our visit. My only disappointment came toward the end of the evening. About 20 minutes before closing, our waiter approached us and told us they were closed. While I completely understand wanting to wrap things up at the end of a shift, the restaurant wasn't officially closed yet, and there were other tables still dining that didn't appear to receive the same message. It felt a little abrupt, and I think the situation could have been handled more tactfully. That said, the food was excellent, and I would absolutely return. Just a small service detail that took away from an otherwise wonderful dining experience!

I've had Tiger Dumplings bookmarked for over two years, so I was happy that an opportunity…read morepresented itself to finally check this restaurant off my "want to go" list. A friend who is a novice to this type of cuisine, was interested in sampling a variety of Asian style dumplings, and this place definitely fits that description. The spot can get busy during the prime time 6-8pm dining segment, so I'd recommend making reservations to guarantee seating. Located in the heart of Arlington at the intersection of Wilson and Clarendon Blvd, parking can be a challenge but if you're willing to walk, there is usually availability in the surrounding neighborhoods. The interior is beautifully decorated. Tile flooring is complimented by blonde hardwood ceiling and wall accent pieces, while bamboo lighting fixtures provide soft illumination. The menu is rather extensive and runs the gamut from soup based, fried, and steamed dumplings. There are also appetizers such as scallion pancakes, tofu with perserved duck eggs, and dim sum ...but we decided to stick with the more traditional style steamed dumplings. A pot of hot jasmine tea arrived to share and we appreciated the refills of hot water through out the meal. Pork soup dumplings - or xiaolongbao (XLB) - arrived first and I provided a brief primer as to how to enjoy this dish. XLB are delicate steamed dumplings filled with seasoned pork and a rich, savory broth that bursts with flavor when you take a bite. My recommendation was to nibble off a corner, and then allow the contained broth to drain into the soup spoon. If you bite directly into the dumpling first, it will likely make a big mess as soup squirts everywhere. We agreed that the pork broth was extremely flavorful and not too salty. I also suggested making a dipping sauce of the black vinegar, chili oil, and just a tiny splash of soy sauce. Dipping the XLB into the sauce amped up the spice and enhanced the flavor. The other two dumplings arrived a few minutes later. Of the two, the chicken and shitake was preferred. Seasoned chicken and earthy shiitake mushrooms are mixed and then steamed to bring out an umami-rich flavor. This was quite good. I grew up eating this type of pork/cabbage dumpling, so while it was solid, to me, it was quite "boring." The pork dumplings needed the dipping sauce for sure. Service was fine. Dirty plates were removed when appropriate while water glasses and the tea pot refilled when necessary. My only observation, and not a complaint, is that I can understand why some reviews say this place is "expensive." I don't necessarily concur with that assessment since I think the food is quality. However, paying $11-$15 for a plate of 5-8 dumplings can add up quickly. Still, for a restaurant where a diner can try a variety of different dumplings in one spot, I think the prices are reasonable. Dinner for two adults - a pot of tea and three entrees - with tax and tip came to about $61.
