    Fried chicken
    Kristi K.

    The food and service are so good! Everything was freshly made and piping hot. We got two types of dumplings, fried shrimp, and fried chicken. Their steamed and pan-fried dumplings are both amazing. I love the texture of the wrapper and you can tell it's homemade. I loved how they didn't use a lot (if any) frozen, pre-made stuff you see in most restaurants. Will be back!

    FOOD/DRINK: 2/5 SERVICE: 5/5 EXPERIENCE: 2/5 We were heading to Falls Church for a concert and were looking forward to Chinese food. We ordered ahead on DoorDash for pick up so it would be ready when we arrived so we could immediately eat before the concert. Unfortunately, the prices are high for what you get. We ordered Pork Chives Dumpling Steamed ($14.95), Beef Pan Fried Bao ($15.95) and one soda ($3). The food was promptly ready and service was kind. They had cute artwork on the wall and the menu was easy to read (good ambiance). The parking lot was super small though. But I can't overlook how terrible the food was. The dumplings were liquidy inside but also dry. The pork was flavorless and there was too much dumpling as opposed of the pork ratio. The skin was too thick as well. The dipping sauce was good though. The bao were oily and filled with rice noodles too? I didn't try the bao but my hubby said I wouldn't like them as I wasn't feeling the best (not related to the food). I did not try the boba so I can't attest to that but I would not return to try them again.

    After seeing good reviews, my friend and I stopped by Panda Dumpling this past Friday for dinner. We ordered up front, and all of our food came out (one at a time) within 15 minutes. The interior is casual, more so a cafe than a restaurant, and we didn't have a hard time finding somewhere to sit and eat. PORK CHIVES DUMPLINGS (6 PC, STEAMED) - 11.98 There was plenty of filling in each one (pretty good marinade and flavor) but we didn't like how thick the skin was. It was too doughy. I'm unsure if I'd order these again. PORK SOUP DUMPLING (6 PC) - 8.98 The skin was thinner, but still too thick for soup dumplings. The flavor was fine, but I didn't think there was a whole lot of soup in them. They were fine. Nothing to rave about or recommend to others. BEEF NOODLE SOUP - 15.98 I asked for no cilantro, and I was given noodles and slices of beef. I expected there to be a few pieces of bok choy because it looked really sad without it. The noodles were on the thicker side, but soaked up the broth well. The broth was OK -- it's a bit too salty for me to enjoy sipping on. The beef was tender, and there were plenty of slices. The portion size is small for the cost. This was alright, but not one I would order again. My friend got the GYUDON that she enjoyed. She said the beef was tender and flavorful. At the end, the owner gave us some an iced tea (I think it was lychee-rose) on the house, which was pretty refreshing! I personally would get this again in the future. Without it, the food was just a 3/5, but the service and refreshing iced tea in the end made me bump it to a 4/5.

    On a warm afternoon, this was a brief detour before heading home so I decided I should get some Pork Soup Dumplings. It was almost empty where I saw only saw two patreons and a few of the staff up at the counter. The first thing I noticed is that you can order through a touch screen or have someone take your order up front. It's great that you have options to tackle how you'd like to order. Since I got Pork Soup Dumplings I didn't wait too long for it. They came out steaming hot so I know it was made fresh. Eating them with the plastic spoons and chopsticks became a bit of a challenge but it was delicious. I wish the Pork soup dumplings had more soup to them but it was savory and almost made me want to order food to be honest. I'm not sure if the hype has died down for this place or I came when it was slow; definitely a good time to visit regardless. I think I will come back to try more of their food and their drinks one day!

    Gyudon Beef rice dish, Brown Sugar Milk Tea drink, and fried Sesame Balls

    My 1st time visiting the **NEW** still under Soft Opening: Panda Dumpling here in Vienna. The murals are cute and counter booth are pretty well maintained. There's ONLY four (4) reserved restaurant parking spaces in the front off Chain Bridge. Came in late lunch around 1:46 P.M. and they had only 1-2 customers... I was expecting a better dish, but basically Gyudon Beef is Rice bowl of Beef Bulgogi. It's $15.96 price which seemed too expensive for the typical bulgogi beef with steam white rice. The Sesame Balls are the typical miniature sesame seed with peanut butter filling snacks that you can get at any Buffett restaurants. For this dish I would have just suggested going to H-Mart sit-in food hall and you would have saved $15 more. They should add a Chicken Katsu rice dish. I might order the Pork dumpling with Chives dumpling to go, but it's $10. For three items for $31 I expected better or more unique flavors.. Please lower your pricing.

    Stopped by here earlier today to try out this new restaurant in my town. This place is used to be Mochi Bubble Tea. This is still in soft opening which I can understand afterward. Originally, I have planned to dine in but after seeing how busy the place was and with only one lady taking care of the front, I decided to take out. Food - I ordered Panda Dumpling Steamed, Beef Dumpling Fried, Pork Soup Dumpling, Scallion Pancake, and Mango Passion Fruit Tea. I like the fried dumplings more than steamed. The pork soup dumplings are very tasty. Scallion pancake is one of the best that I ever had. The fruit tea is decent. Overall not bad at all. Ambiance - only few changes from the original Tea place. This place can seat 12 people max. I can see this being more of a take out than dine in. Parking is limited with only 6 spaces. You can park on the other side of the street and walk over if you want to. You place your order at the kiosk. At this time only take credit cards, no cash. Service - I'm torn here. It took almost 25 minutes for my order. I understand it's their soft opening and only see the lady in the front and maybe 1-2 people in the kitchen. I guess it takes lingering than normal because each order is cooked to order? So you will need to be patience here for. They might need to add more people to the kitchen? The lady profusely apologized to me when she gave me the order. I'm not upset at all because I do understand when you visit a new restaurant, there will be issues. The most important for me is the food. Is it good? I will be back in a month or so and hopefully they will iron out all the kinks. I'm just happy that Vienna has another new restaurant.

    Drove by the tiny hole in the wall restaurant and decided to give it a try. It is pretty much all self service aside from the part they take your food out to you. The menu is small with limited selections. We got the Seaweed salad, Panda Fried Dumplings, and Beef noodle soup. The restaurant name sake fried dumplings were juicy and meaty. The skin was a bit thick but overall an excellent dumpling. The dipping sauce could be better. The beef noodle soup came with a good amount of sliced tender beef and noodles. The container made it look small but don't let it fool you. I only wished it comes with some vegetable. A good dish to share. One thing I would say about this restaurant is that they do not serve their food in dishes or bowls. All my items were in disposable containers or paper plates. Lots of waste in my opinion. Even the water is in bottle! All portions were good size but as with all food, it is getting a bit expensive. I would go back to try some of their other fried and steam dumplings.

    There's limited seating, so we had to get takeout. My wife liked the lychee sparkling water. The steamed panda dumplings (pork) were good, though my wife liked the pan-fried chicken dumplings more. The cucumber salad had a good flavor, but was laced with too much hot chili pepper, so we would not order it again. We will be back to try more stuff soon. I guess we will need to call in for takeout, since they don't have a website and don't appear on Toast (even though they use Toast in-house for ordering... strange).

    Went on a Sunday evening at 6:30pm and there was only one person waiting for takeout. Easy dedicated parking in the lot on the Main Street of Vienna. Instantly greeted with a warm smile and a gummy treat for my 11 year old. We ordered on a screen, getting the chive pan fried dumplings, pork soup dumplings and pan friend bao in addition to the beef noodle soup and lo mein. It's a cute family owned place and you can tell from the friendly attentive service and the attention to the quality of the food they delivered. Everything was panda themed and so cute! They said 10 mins for our order so we sat down at one of the tables to wait. Yes you'll be eating off of paper plates and using plastic utensils but the quality is in the food. You can hear the wok in the back stirring the lo mein and the chicken was so tender. The beef on the noodle soup was also really tender which made it perfect for our 11 year old to dig into. Everything came out hot and flavorful. The dumplings had delicious soup in them and each was so unique. The chive dumplings had so many pieces of chive in them, the baos were meaty and the skin was not greasy but the perfect mix of soft and crunchy. The soup dumplings were smaller but with rich broth inside of them. The owner came over and gave our daughter a pin with the restaurant's logo at the end and made sure we didn't forget our leftovers. We'll be enjoying them for lunch tomorrow. Overall nice, casual place with excellent service and great food that hit the spot on this cold winter night.

    Came during soft opening. We ordered the soup dumplings and pan fried dumplings to share. Overall not bad, although the pan fried dumpling skin was a little thicker than I would like it to be. Soup dumplings had some juice, but wish there was a bit more soup in them. Interested to see when their full menu comes out!

    With the loss of Bubble Mochi and Gem Tea, Panda Dumpling brings in fierce competition and a lot of people excited for their open! I came here around 11:20 am and it was already packed! Keep in mind that the parking lot here is quite small, but there was a line for orders. There's soup dumplings, dumplings, bubble teas, rice bowls, and some soups. My dad and I ordered a few things such as the panda dumplings (pork + fried), pork soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, sesame balls, some bubble teas and the unagi don. All were super tasty and came out quickly! Our favorites were the panda pork fried dumplings, the scallion pancakes, unagi don and the sesame balls. The staff were super nice, and there's a small handful of seating here, so come early to snag some spots!

    VIENNA, Va. - Missus and I lunched here on a Thursday. More of a takeout joint than dine-in - there's half a dozen two-seater tables. Kind of a panda-ish motif inside. You order and pay from a big touchscreen at the counter. Quite good dumplings. Handmade. Come steamed or pan-fried. Unlike what you get from the frozen foods section of your big Asian grocery, these have distinct flavors - our ($10.98) chicken dumplings tasting different than the ($12.98) triple delight dumplings of pork, chives and shrimp. These are big, well-stuffed dumplings. Missus and I got well stuffed and took a couple home. The ($3.98) scallion pancake wasn't overly greasy, with a nice light scallion flavor. The two fruit teas ($6 each) - strawberry-lychee and mango-pineapple - weren't overly sweet. We opted for the 30% sweet level; I'd think much sweeter would be flavored sugar water. Overall, a nice dining experience and not a bad value. We'll return.

My friend is craving dim sum after being in the country, visiting from Hong Kong for 3 weeks. My friend is quite tan, his mom is Filipino, but he grew up in HK and speaks mostly canto and Tagalog. We tried speaking Cantonese to the staff who are speaking it to each other, so they clearly can. My friend has perfect Cantonese. Mine is ok but I am also very clearly Chinese. They replied in broken English instead. One waitress looked at my friend and handed us forks. So clearly, some racism/colorism in the staff. Context: lots of Filipinos in HK are maids and generally looked down on, so not surprised this happened here. The food was mushy and gross. The shrimp in the cheung fan was grayish. It felt like they had this ready early in the morning and reheated it for later. Siu mai was falling apart. Cha siu bao was good but how do you mess that one up? I've gotten take out from this place before in the past and I always forget why I try to not come here, they forget something every time. At this point I'm sure they're doing it on purpose, like little thieves. Anyway, this place has the advantage of being close, with so little dim sum options in the area, unless you want to make the trip to Tysons or Vienna. Or Maryland. One staff member was laying down on a bunch of chairs nearby loudly watching something on her phone. Any other day, I wouldn't complain about that, everyone deserves a break. But given the food quality and the clear racism in the staff, they should be called out for everything. As with any Asian restaurant, feel free to treat me like trash if the food is good. But this place fails in both places.

The beef ribs were really difficult to eat and the meat was not tender at all, it was much more tough and stringy than I expected. The steamed beef rice noodles also had no flavor, definitely would not recommend this dish or the beef ribs. The space was nice, there were a lot of larger tables as well as smaller tables for parties of 2 to 4. It wasn't too crowded when we went, a few larger groups and some young families. As other reviewers have noted, the service was sorely lacking. I noticed some of the servers were pleasant, but the lady who was serving us was pretty unfriendly and inattentive. She did not check on us even once to see if we needed more water. She just seemed annoyed and like she couldn't be bothered to do her job. There was another lady that did check on us near the end of our meal and she was very friendly, asked us if we needed any boxes, and offered to refill our water glasses for us. I guess your experience just depends on who you happen to get, but in my opinion, if you're that rude to customers, maybe you shouldn't be working in customer service. They do validate for parking in the lot and there's a garage that is for you for the first two hours. Overall, the prices at this restaurant are higher than is typical for dim sum. The space is nice, but for these prizes, I would expect a higher quality of food and definitely a higher quality in terms of service. I don't think that I'll be back to eat here.

I ordered the Singapore noodles, which were packed with flavor and loaded with beef, chicken, and shrimp. The portion was so big that it honestly could be split between two people. I barely put a dent in it while I was there and ended up taking most of it home and eating off it for a while afterward. But the real showstopper is the bottomless drinks. For $18, you get bottomless Mai Tais, lemon drops, and mimosas, and the best part is they do it all day, not just during brunch hours. You can pull up at 7 p.m., get dinner, and still do bottomless drinks, which is something you don't see very often. Between the massive portions, the flavor, and the all-day bottomless option, Han Palace is an easy five out of five for me. If you're in DC and haven't been here yet, this is a must-go spot.
