Delicious scallion pancakes and dumplings. I got an assorted platter with different types beef, chicken, and pork dumplings. They were perfectly steamed and each type had a good flavor, it's nice to have the option to try different types at the same time.
My husband and I were HANGRY. I found this place really close by to where we were and we immediately headed over there. The parking lot is a bit of a cluster, but you'll get a spot. We walked in and checked out the menu. They have a good amount of options. We ended up getting the pan fried beef baos, the pan fried pork baos, the pork soup dumplings, and a dozen pan fried mixed dumplings (beef, pepper beef, pork either Napa cabbage, and another pork flavor). I love that you're able to fet a mixture of dumplings for the dozen for 14.95. What an absolute steal. We also got the green onion pancakes. The man cooking the dumplings was so kind. Shout out to the younger cashier who spoke both mandarin and English fluently - something my parents dream of for me and my siblings, whoops. They told us it would take about 15 minutes and was ready in that time. It took us about 20 minutes to get home and dig in. The beef pan fried baos were DELICIOUS. Our absolute favorites. I feel like everytime we order pan fried baos like these, they're never juicy or have soup in them. These did. They were flavorful and literally had so much juice/soup we had to eat them carefully. The pork baos were good, but i feel like the beef flavor was a bit better. The soup dumplings were also really good! Good amount of soup. The mixed pan fried dumplings were also delicious. I liked that they're different colors so you can tell which one is which. They also came with chili oil and soy sauce - i loved that they though of everything! The dumplings wrappers are a little thick and you can tell are homemade. I loved that, it made me feel like I was eating at home. It was comforting and delicious. We would absolutely come back. My parents and sister really enjoyed them and were surprised how flavorful they were. The pan fried beef baos were the star of the show!
Service: order at counter and the food will be delivered to you. Food: cooked when ordered. It took a little time to get your food so please be patient. Ambiance: clean restaurant with cute post-it notes all over from past patrons. Quick no frills causal dining
Bro in law ordered to go and we were able to eat this at home. They were still piping hot and SOOOOO juicy. They were almost like soup dumplings. I love how many combinations of flavors they have. All are super flavorful and you do not need dipping sauce with them. However they did come with a soy sauce and a chili oil, both compliment the dumplings well. My favorite were the pan fried dumplings and the pork and lotus.
I got a wide variety mix of the different kinds of veggie and chicken dumplings! They were also good. I think my favorite was a chicken dumplings. The sauce they have with it also was really good.! The service was really fast when I came in they had it ready as I ordered in advance. It is near my home and Conveient. It was a fast casual type of place. I like the dumplings, but I was not a big fan of the cold noodles. If I come back here, I'll be going for the dumplings, not the cold noodles.!
No matter my hunger level, I will always make room for a dumpling or two. This was my first time checking out this restaurant. I ordered the pork soup dumplings, Kimichi dumplings and the pork Napa cabbage dumplings. The simplicity of the ingredients combined with the spicy homemade dipping sauce, was definitely something yummy in my tummy. This establishment will be on my rotation list from now on.
I'm not a purist--on the contrary, I believe authenticity can sometimes stifle creativity. I also hesitate to leave negative reviews for small businesses because food preference is deeply personal and subjective. That said, I personally wouldn't return to this place if I were craving soup dumplings. For me, an ideal soup dumpling should be easy to pick up without breaking, have a good balance of soup and filling, and burst with umami when eaten. Soup dumplings are special because they combine delicate, tender filling with a burst of flavorful broth. The rich soup inside enhances the umami, making the eating experience incredibly satisfying. The dumplings I was served: 1. Easy to pick up without breaking - Pass. 2. A good balance of soup and filling - Pass. Each dumpling had a good amount of broth. 3. Burst with umami when eaten - Fail. Unfortunately, I found the filling mushy and lacking in flavor, which really took away from the overall experience. 4. Dipping sauce - Fail. Instead of the traditional rice vinegar with ginger threads, the sauce was something different. I completely understand that the sharp acidity of traditional Chinese vinegar might not appeal to Western palates. However, when done right, soup dumplings have a rich, flavorful filling that needs that strong acidic contrast to balance the taste. The restaurant is clean. Dumplings are cooked to order from frozen. Staff were courteous.
I really only had the pork soup dumplings to go and they were really delicious ! Staff is helpful and friendly and inside is decorated very cutely. Good place for families ! I would return they're well priced, delicious and you have the option to go with regular or spicy sauce !
Best Dumplings in DMV area Fresh made, tastes good. I have tried a lot dumpling restaurants in DMV, this is the best one. Highly recommend.
This place was fantastic! It's situated in the middle of the shopping center with plenty of parking. I went mid-day on a Monday and ordered the 12 piece dumpling pan fried. Since I had never been before I tried one of each from the left side of the menu (see picture for descriptions) Some of the dumplings had an interesting flavor, but I liked that they had such a good variety. My favorite was the pork with lotus roots and the beef with jalapeño. The restaurant itself was clean and had plenty of seating. I'm extremely interested in returning to find out what the dessert dumpling is all about.
It's always fun to share dumplings on a chilly day (or a warm one, actually.) It's great to enjoy all these little bites of flavor. We just happen to see Tasty Dumplings around lunch time and decided to stop in. We ordered three different kinds from the dumpling assortment. You could tell the different ones apart by the color of the dumpling wrapper. We sampled the lemon grass chicken, BBQ beef and the kimchi varieties. All were a good size, tender and tasty. We also liked the pork soup dumpling. We only wished they had come with a spoon, because, if you have ever had soup dumplings, you know that they are very hot inside and full of soup. If you don't have a spoon to catch the liquid that may pour out, you can make a mess. We ended up using the big bowls which was a little awkward. The pan fried bao buns were good but probably our least favorite as the dough was a little thicker. There is seating inside and a really nice seating area outside. The restaurant is quick serve so you order at the counter and then find a table. There is plenty of parking in the big lot out front.

4.5/5.00 Took family. Ordered 3 different dishes- resulting in a mix of friend and soup dumplings. Dumpling came out fast. Service was nice, competent. We got what we came for. Portion sizes not huge- but what we had was delicious. No notes. read more

Fresh makes for a slower startup but the wait is worth the choices. They do a good job of having a nice selection for you to go into the usual steamed or fried variants. A small list of other options like the scallion pancake is worth a pickup on the side to round out any shareable. Outside in the spring and summer they have a great sitting situation with some shade and pergolas in the common shopping area. Small and independent business you should swing by for a rotation. Only small improvement would be less plastic; where they would benefit from aiming at other plates and reduction options. read more

If you know me, which you don't. I am kinda sad because first of all you don't know me and you should. Secondly just because you don't know me, you also don't know I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOVVVVEEEEEE DUMPLINGS!!! Okay I need to calm down and tell you about this place. Saw this place passing by Falls Church and wanted to try this so took a friend out here. Upon entering it is a pretty simple place. More geared towards take out but you can definitely sit there and eat. The whole place is run by a couple. If you don't know what a couple is it is 2 people who are in a romantic relationship. Yes just 2 people. The whole place is clean and I would love to come here work from here and eat dumplings all day. Okay back to the review. I ordered 4 different types of dumplings and my LORD!!! I am in love with this place. Pan Fried Shrimp Dumplings were amazing. Recommend eating them after a little wait because they were scorching hot. The crust on them was perfect. The shrimp inside was beautiful. Pan Fried Tofu Dumplings. They were really great. Similar crust to the ones above. Steamed Beef and Jalapeno Dumplings were of a different color. Loved the jalapeños flavoring mixed with beef. Steam Lemon Grass Chicken Dumplings were the best and the flavor was insane. Hands down ordering this and Basil Chicken Dumplings the next time. This place is so simple and nice and the food is great that I love it. 5/5 Show this place some love! read more
Dropped in during the lunch hour. Someone was able to take our order right away and let us know that it would take about 15 minutes to prepare. The drink of Jujube Goji Berry Tea came out first. It was good but the straw wasn't very wide so sometimes the goji berry would get stuck. I know not everyone likes to eat Chinese medicine type ingredients but I was happy to use a spoon to scoop them up. Our orders of pork soup dumpling and pan fried bao came out within the promised amount of time. I was pleasantly surprised that there was even soup in the pan fried bao, was not expecting that. Looking forward to coming back to try the other types of dumplings some other time! read more

What a great little dumpling shop! Food was excellent, only took about 5 minutes to be prepared, and so authentic. Just felt like I was in the kitchen of this family's home and they were cooking up their family recipe dumplings. I got the bbq beef and the lemongrass chicken this last time, and the spicy soy dipping sauce was so good! read more
Very tasty indeed!! I always drove passed this spot and bookmarked it to come one day. Finally last night we decided to do takeout and ordered dumplings! We ordered the soup dumplings, pan fried baos, and the pork and cabbage dumplings. Everything was very delicious! My personal favorite were the soup dumplings. I love how it bursts in your mouth - the broth is very good! We ordered take out, but might decide to dine in next time. If we thought take out was good, I'm sure eating there when it's fresh is even better! It's a no frills spot, don't expect to Instagram or anything - but also means they put more effort into their food which I appreciate. Check them out! read more

Ran to Staples and picked up soup dumplings for lunch. They are made fresh, took 15 minutes. The soup wasn't very flavorful. They were good but I'd try other options next time. read more

We LOVE LOVE LOVE Tasty Dumpling!! My friend and I stumbled across this lovely small business a short time after it opened and have watched this amazing woman get her own small business off the ground. You can mix and match a wide variety of dumplings and she cooks everything herself while you wait. The dumplings are great to eat on the spot OR TAKEOUT- they travel well and we always try to get enough for leftovers. Highly recommend Tasty Dumpling! Easy parking; indoor and outdoor seating; very casual. Family friendly and kids encouraged! read more
If you don't have a lot of experience with dumplings maybe this will do it for you, but this did absolutely. nothing to satisfy my dumpling cravings. I was so excited when I read the reviews and went out of my way to get here, but ended up at McDonald's (true story). It started with a Grumpy unhelpful staffer who was running the whole place alone. Included a very log wait time. They seemed to prioritize the takeout orders. And all that would have been doable if the food had been delicious but sadly it wasn't. And the food was bland and doughy. Bad dough to filling ratios, not delicate dough, and just missed the mark on flavor. If I had to rate the dishes in order of flavor even though they all came short it would be: 1 -pork soup dumpling 2 - beef pepper dumpling 3 - panfried beef bao . read more

I came in around Chinese New Years because I had to tell my parents I ate dumplings somewhere otherwise they would disown me. Overall, I was glad I chose this place. I ordered the pork and chives, beef and the pan fried dumplings. You can't deny the quality here. These were incredibly thin dumplings (see through) which are the best for me. Each one also had super delicious broth inside so eat with caution. I also liked how you can get your own sauce. I was impressed that they also had a container of just black vinegar which is one of my favorite condiments. The pan fried dumplings were simply amazing. My only real complaint is the price. At more than a dollar per dumpling, this isn't a place I would frequent to be quite honest. But to be even more honest, I'll be back the next time i'm too lazy to make my own dumplings again. read more
