This is an open and airy comfortable, clean restaurant. We were greeted right away with menus and water. I ordered the pork and shrimp wonton noodle soup which was excellent! My friend ordered crispy chicken ramen and he enjoyed it. We split the pork buns and afterwards we were quite full with no room for dessert! This place was very good and we enjoyed our late lunch. read more

This little storefront restaurant had the prettiest bathroom! Asian tiles in dark blue with white patterns, some looked like sashiko embroidery. And, it was spotlessly clean. I loved that! We were welcomed and looked at the extensive menu featuring homemade soup dumplings. I love soup dumplings. I was with 2 other diners so I had only one-third voting privileges. We ordered Peking pancake which was thin crust and ok. We ordered edamame which was delish- steamed perfectly with just the right amount of salt. We ordered char sui steamed buns. The meat inside was very good but since I'm not a fan of steamed bun bread, my companions enjoyed them! The dumplings: we should have gotten more!! We ordered crab and pork soup dumplings- my preference is not to mix those two proteins so I had one and moved on. One of us liked them- she was happy!! The chicken soup dumplings were excellent. I could have polished them all off by myself happily. But alas, l had to share. I think I got 3/5 of them though!! The place is spotless and the food going to other tables looked great. I will definitely go back. I want to try more soup dumplings and I want to try some of the terrific looking dishes that went to other tables. Looking forward to returning! read more

Yum! Great food and friendly service in a very cute and spotlessly clean storefront. My mom, friend, and I stopped in for lunch and very much enjoyed it. We started with the Peking beef pancake and edamame. It was a huge portion of perfectly steamed edamame. The Peking beef pancake was pretty good too, with a thin crispy crust. We then ordered the char siu buns, chicken soup dumplings, and crabmeat and pork dumplings. Everybody loved the chicken soup dumplings and we all agreed that the char siu was yummy. Opinions were mixed on the crab meat and pork soup dumplings. I like them, but neither of my dining companions did. Can't win them all. I'd like to go back and try some of their regular dumplings and some of the Chinese dishes on their menu. Food at the other tables looked fantastic! read more

Wow. Had delayed a visit since they opened but first impression was super. Had beef with peppers and noodles, and Lamb/Scallion steamed dumplings. This had all the flavor of a top level restaurant and probably better than 99 percent of what would be found in actual Chinatown especially in DC these days. Bonus: it's tucked away in a small strip on Rockville Pike next to Pho Eatery and the famous Izes deli. Extensive menu. Will definitely be back. read more

Ordered dumplings to go. Really enjoyed the chicken & basil dumplings. They were even better with the sauce on top! The mango sticky rice was underwhelming. The mango tasted a little unripe and not ready to be eaten. I wouldn't order that again but definitely plan to get some more dumplings and try some other menu items read more

Craving soup dumpling while in Rockville, Google sent us here. It's a small restaurant in a strip mall with one dining room, but plenty of seats. Service starts the moment you sit down. Order soup dumpling or a number of other dishes. To feed three hungry people, we ordered a few soup dumplings. Each comes with six dumplings and they are filling! The spicy pork and the garlic pork were my favorites! read more

We ordered by calling them and picked up. The food was really delicious. Their pork with bok choy dumplings are the best dumplings I've had this year it was tasty and very fresh. I couldn't taste the freshness of the veggie inside and it was incredible. Their scallion pancake is very yummy and crispy as well. Definitely recommend! read more

Solid Chinese option right across from the North Bethesda metro station!! I stopped in here for lunch with friends on a Friday afternoon. We ordered a variety of dumplings and pork buns. All were quite tasty. The Hunan Chicken and Eggplant with Garlic Sauce were both quite good as well. The staff was friendly and attentive--recommending some good dishes and sharing thoughts on World Cup soccer. The dining room was basic but clean. One note, it was a hot day and the A/C was having trouble keeping up. Just something to keep in mind as we head into the dog days of summer. All in all, quite good. Would definitely stop by again when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

We came here at request of my child who has been obsessed with soup dumplings. We got chicken soup dumplings, the variety of them, some steamed buns, and more. It was delicious. My kiddo ate 6 of them plus edamame. Service was good and the place is small so it fills up quickly. We ordered to go a second night and enjoyed it again. If we lived in the area we would go here all the time. read more

Came here for lunch during the week. It wasn't busy yet as we came right when they opened. It's a small restaurant in a strip mall. Perfect location for all the office buildings in the area. Service was quick and they made our food to order. We had the assorted homemade dumplings, spicy pork soup dumplings, and combination Singapore curry rice noodles. Everything tasted great! I would return and highly recommend this place. read more

The prices were pretty high for me to have only gotten orange chicken, fried rice, and pot stickers. $48. The food was good and came out promotly. They have a nice menu with lots of items to choose from. The orange chicken was my favorite. The staff was also nice and I was met with a warm greeting as soon as I walked. Also, this place is so pretty on the inside. The walls are gorgeous! Cute place for a nice lunch date! read more

New Dumping and Dum Sum place in NoBe, MD Beloved Chinese Language Teach open this hot and tasty dumplings place around a month or so ago. First off, I love the name, it has personality and not a generic name. The business is fast casual and the decor includes an original mural, old school and traditional tables and chairs, and a beautiful tiles. Now, to the most important part, the food. We ordered steamed chicken dumplings, pan fried pork dumplings and tasty wontons in this delicious sauce. Each order of dumplings cost about $12. I did try to order the lunch special, which offers a lot for a truly amazing price but is only available during the week. Needless to say, I'll be ordering more and plotting my return to order everything else on the menu. read more

This is a really adorable little place that has great dumplings and a friendly staff. Two thumbs up!

We were in the mood for dumplings after a day at the museums in Washington DC. Jinlan is on 355 Rockville Pike quite close to Grosvenor Strathmore Metro in a strip mall. Since it was past lunch there wasn't much of a crowd. We got a very welcome reception. I think you can order at the kiosk if you want takeout. I started with an Asahi beer and others ordered Dahongpao Tea. The rates are very reasonable. I loved the spicy Chicken Dumplings, they would serve well as starters for the table but sufficient if you are not a heavy eater. From the special dumpling menu we chose the Chicken and Basil Dumplings and they came in a bamboo basket with a very delicious sauce on the side. The other order of Chicken Wanton Soup was very sumptuous and tasty. Plates were monogrammed and made from ceramic and the chopsticks were excellent. We will be back to taste other items from the menu or take carryout. Definitely recommend this restaurant for dim sum. They have some outside seating too. read more

Tastes like home. I was really pleasantly surprised but the flavors are so nostalgic for me. The meat baos are fluffy and fillings are umami, come in a set of 2 large baos straight from the steamer. Definitely recommend dining in since these aren't as good if you get take out and it's been sitting for awhile. These feel like the northern raised dough baos I grew up eating that my grandparents used to make. We also got the traditional steamed pork and veggie dumplings. Def recommend steamed over fried for these. There's 8 dumplings and while it's only 8, they're pretty big and worth the price for me. We also got wonton noodle soup. It's a very clean taste, but the filling has the aroma of sesame oil, also very nostalgic for me and feels more northern. We will definitely be back for more. We started inhaling everything I only remembered to take pic of the baos. Saw another review that said there was an extra charge when using a credit card, so I immediately went to check our receipt. No extra charge for us, just tax and tip to the subtotal. read more

Glad we stopped by for takeaway (conveniently walking distance from home). Interior was small but still housed a good number of tables. Ordering is done at the counter. Behind the counter is the open kitchen (with good aromas of wok fried food). The side walls are adorned with very pretty painted murals. While they specialize in dumplings they offer small plate appetizers and typical Chinese restaurant fare (Mongolian beef, sautéed string beans, orange chicken, ect). We got vegetable dumplings (pan fried), chicken and basil dumplings (steamed) and house special tofu. The tofu came with rice. It had a nice spicy kick and was cooked with Napa cabbage and scallions. The star was the chicken dumplings. The filling was full, meat was flavorful and juicy and went well with the chopped basil. The vegetable dumplings were good as well. They don't use plant-based ground meat, but an array of goods like carrots, cabbage, corn, mushroom, ect. Both dumpling choices reminded me of home. read more

I love the traditional pork bokchoy dumplings. Lamb cilantro dumplings is the flat one, not plump like traditional one. I think they use store bought thin skin. The reason is because when it is homemade, usually skin is thicker. The wonton soup has very surprising clean flavor broth. It almost made me think it can use a bit more salt. Purist flavor surprisingly. Eating here gives me the feeling of eating delicious homemade food instead of heavy oily restaurant food feel. The pork belly shiumai has sticky rice in it. lots of white pepper punch. Wall decor is nice, Give it a try. read more

I first found out about this place through Instagram when they were selling dumplings at farmers markets. After looking them up, I saw their dumplings were only available at different market locations. Now that they finally have a restaurant in Rockville, I can actually go try them! My first impression was great--the flower-shaped tables and fiber-stitched wall on the left really stood out. The small menu is also a good sign, showing they likely focus on quality over quantity. Being a big dumpling fan, my husband and I ordered four kinds to try. What I liked most was the thin dumpling wrappers--they're light, so you don't feel too full from the dough. The fillings were also well-balanced, Not greasy or overly sweet like some pork dumplings I've had in Germantown. I'd love to come back to try their noodles, chive pockets, and eggplant with garlic sauce. A few things I hope for next time: 1. Slightly more filling in the dumplings, especially the veggie ones. 2. Soy milk, salted soy milk (咸豆漿), and dumpling soup on the menu. 3. Keep the flavors authentic--not Americanized. 4. Include black vinegar with the dumpling sauce--it makes a big difference! read more

Buyer beware They charge hidden fees that you will miss if you do not closely examine your receipt. When I ordered my carryout, I asked the young lady at the register whether there was a charge for credit card use. She said no. I paid the bill and looked at the receipt and there was a a fee charged in addition to the sales tax. I showed the receipt to the manager and I asked her the reason for the fee. She said it's a charge for using your credit card. There was no sign at the register and there was nothing on the menu disclosing the extra fee they charge for credit card use. This is sharp practice. They seem to think we won't notice. read more

My first time here I ordered the veggie potstickers and veggie springrolls. Everything we ordered was good.

Great new place in Rockville! Bright, clean, fun ambience with lots of art on the walls and even the floor tiles are super cool-looking, what with waves carved into them -- wow! The dumplings are great, the service is great, the desserts are totally awesome and super-tasty! I can attest to the absolute deliciousness of the Jasmine Tea Boba mochi ice cream and also the Green Tea mochi ice cream. Interestingly (a major long-term lover of matcha ice cream!), I enjoyed the Jasmine Tea Boba mochi ice cream better than the matcha ones (You get two pieces per order.) -- and the three pieces of steamed ube dessert dumplings were warmed up to super-hot and came served in the steamer, well, steaming hot! They were absolutely delectable. The Dumplings with cucumbers and peanut sauce -- that they thankfully made vegetarian for me -- was delightful. The green onion pocket was a very happy-making treat! So, in conclusion, I must conclude this to be a delicious, delectable delight of a happiness-inducing place to visit! I might also add that I doubt you will leave hungry or dissatisfied in any way .... Highly recommended! Yay! read more

Everything was perfect! Excellent service, seems like a family run place.

My partner and I were craving good Chinese food after our trip to Beijing and we loved it!! Would happily make the 30+ minute drive from DC again.

You can tell a lot of pride goes into this place, and we will definitely be back. read more

It's National Dumpling Day! Of course, we had to have dumplings. Ordered the pork soup dumplings, pork and chive steamed dumplings, spicy shrimp and pork wontons, scallion pancakes, and the shrimp lo mein. Spicy wontons were great. Good sauce, wrap was just right. Lo mein was delicious. Appreciated that there was a good amount of veggies in the lo mein. The soup dumpling skin was a bit thicker than I'm used to, but still good. The scallion pancake is thin and crispy, not very flaky, which is my preference. That was fine. Each person at the table had a different favorite, but we all agreed we would come back. 4.5 starts. We definitely want to try more things on the menu. read more

Mixed bag. The Singapore curry rice noodles were excellent. The pork soup dumplings and pork with chives potstickers were very good. There were supposed to be four shrimp shu mai in the order; two were regular size and two were extremely small- I felt ripped off. The worst was Ma Po beef with tofu. There was no Ma Po flavor at all. It was pieces of bean curd and beef in a thick brown sauce with absolutely no flavor. It took nearly 40 minutes to get my takeout order ready, even though the place was not very busy. Also, the online menu differs somewhat from the menu at the restaurant. read more

Great service, very friendly. These dumplings were very good. This is a small restaurant but worth it.

The food may be okay but we ordered one plate of assorted dumplings. The server brought us two orders and when I told her it was a mistake we only wanted one they insisted I pay for both. I paid bc I wasn't sure what to do. The food was untouched. I wish them the best as a new business but this was really bad customer service. read more

Was excited to try this place but it fell short. We ordered the spring rolls which were obviously frozen and still cold in the middle. We also got an order of the bulgogi gyoza which were dripping in oil and had nothing in common with bulgogi. The shrimp steamed dumplings were alright but the lamb ones were inedible due to a strong smell that reminded me of rotten meat. These 4 dishes came out to $60 which is quite steep for dim sum. I don't know if we got the wrong things, but I've definitely had better dumplings in the area. read more
