    Super busy inside and fast paced! We got all of our food before we got our drinks! However, the drinks are so worth the wait. If you have a party of two, I highly recommend one of the course menus. It was kind of a lot of food but worth it. They were out of the mango sorbet so we got a strawberry/cherry one. The one downside was that we got all of our food at once and we didn't have enough room at our table and felt a little rushed to finish the dishes, but the food was AMAZING.

    Oooof! Finally! AYCE dim sum! A wonderful concept as I have been getting bored of eating at your typical brunch places that consist of eggs, pancakes, mimosas - you know, typical American flair. Why had I not discovered Tiger Dumplings sooner? The kind of place if you want to indulge and spend the rest of the afternoon in a food coma. We did pretty well considering we feasted on a total of 26 plates shared between the two of us. I appreciated that the menu noted their chef recommended items as I can be indecisive when given too many options. The staff was supportive in us wanting to try a little bit of everything. They did a wonderful job playing Tetris with the plethora of dishes that came out; which came up quickly. The restaurant did a beautiful job decorating for Chinese New Year. What a wonderful place to spend your weekend.

    Service: Hit or Miss. HIT: I have a food allergy and they were very thoughtful to warn me for items brought to the table or they were able to omit the ingredient. MISS: There were times when what we ordered was not captured, so we always felt like something was missing. We would have to order something more than once to make sure we had it for the table. TIP: Going in smaller groups of people is better for the AYCE experience. Things come out in small quantities, so if you come with a big group, order double if you know you like it. Food: Since I was here for AYCE Sunday Brunch Here Are some highlights. Favorites: Crystal Shrimp Dumplings - shrimp was bouncy Pork Shu Mai - Classic flavors Soy Braised Chicken - Delicious and Juicy Scallion Pancake - Crisp! Came with a sweet chili sauce Pass: Lemon Prawn - Not lemony, more mayo based Fried Milk Sticks - Tasted slightly sour Brown Sugar Rice Cakes - wasn't expected to be fried. Was tough to eat. On to my next adventure...

    Ordered takeout on a weeknight. They have a good selection. The food was ok, but the presentation was nice. I liked the lemon prawn the most. They were out of one of the items we ordered and did not let us know. When we got home we found it missing and had to call for a refund.

    The signature dumplings here are incredible! (Gotten them before! Dream about them!) The wonton soup was also good. However, I got the "sweet soy lettuce" and was so disappointed. It was literally lettuce in a bland watery broth. It may be my fault for expecting it to have been like blanched bok choy, but nevertheless it was not worth $12.95. The wonton soup's wontons were excellent, but based on the description I expected there to be vegetables. The only vegetables were cilantro and a few sliced green onions. I would have gladly added vegetables (for $3.00 more), but I thought it would be too many vegetables since it was supposed to already come with vegetables. I ordered pickup so no comment on the restaurant, but the containers were sturdy, and it was well packed in an insulated bag.

    This place had a good vibe to it but it was definitely not a super authentic place. Food was very delicious though and they were serving brunch mimosas.

    I have been hearing about Tiger Dumplings for a hot second! It's the place to check out! (*whispers* go for their unlimited brunch and make reservations). I went on a Sunday with a group of 4. You need reservations. I love the interior design here AND good food. Everyone at the table has to do the unlimited brunch option or go à la carte. We also got $1 mimosas ( lychee ) with our unlimited brunch. Everything was spot on. The rumors are true. It is great, delicious food. The service is prompt. Recommend walking here unless you can find parking in this area.

    Really amazing fast and friendly service but the food is mid. We split everything between 3 people and had leftovers but no one wanted to take them home. My favorites were the Chengdu Spicy Wontons, Scallion Pancakes & Cucumber Salad. Will I be back? Probably not.

    Was happy to finally try Tiger Dumplings! My husband and I love Chinese food and honestly just East Asian food in general. We ordered a little bit of everything from the menu. My absolute favorite were the dan dan noodles, they were phenomenal! Especially when it was hot. We tried a variety of dumplings of too and they were great. The only downside in my opinion was the service. Our waiter was a bit too busy flirting with a table of pretty girls and simply would not come to our table to take our order at times. He would only go to their table. Since you can only eat for an hour and a half it's crucial that the waiter comes and checks on you often. Anyway, I do think I would return though because the food was pretty good for an AYCE.

    I visited around 3 PM and was the only customer dining in at the time. The service was average -- nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. The food unfortunately wasn't very tasty for me. It wasn't terrible, just didn't stand out or have the flavor I was expecting. There is parking available in front of the restaurant, but spaces are limited, which could be inconvenient during busier hours. Overall, an okay experience, but not somewhere I'd rush back to.

    I met a friend at Tiger Dumplings for a quick drink and bite to eat. The location was very cute. Not too busy at 5:15. We ordered a Lychee Refresher, an order of the scallion pancake, and the Spicy Pork Soup Dumplings. Everything was really good. The staff were attentive but also a smidge impatient. It was most likely our fault though. I was waiting for him and they came up to me 2x asking if I was ready to order or if I was waiting for someone. Then when the friend arrived, we were catching up and they kept coming over asking if we were ready. However, the visit was overall a pleasant experience. I may have to go back and try their brunch!

    Dan Dan Noodles, Sea Salt Garlic Fish Filet, Cod Fish Cilantro Dumplings
    Lynn P.

    My coworkers and I decided to visit Tiger Dumpling for lunch this week. It was pretty quiet so we were seated right away and served quickly, which was good since we were limited on time. We ordered the Dan Dan Noodles, Sweet Soy Lettuce, Cucumber Salad, Tiger Signature Pot Stickers, Salt Garlic Cod, and a Scallion Pancake. These are some of my favorite dishes to order when I visit (other than the lettuce, which was ordered by my coworker). The sweet soy lettuce is just ok for me, the texture almost reminds me of bok choy for the thicker pieces. Everything was really good, we enjoyed it. I look forward to my next visit.

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.

    Han Palace is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in DC, and there are two main reasons why:…read morethe portions and the drinks. First, the food portions here are astronomical. 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.

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.

On a mid-Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was about ¾ full. We started out with the Wonton Soup and the Spicy Wonton soup. The Wonton soup is just okay, but the Spicy Wonton Soup is wonderful and highly recommended. For another appetizer, we ordered the Scallion Pancake. It has a nice dense texture and I really liked it. It would've been even better if it came with a dipping sauce. We also ordered the pickled cabbage. It was good, though lacking seasoning. Our first entrée was ground pork in a delicious sauce accompanied by sprouts and thinly sliced cucumber (or was that zucchini?). Recommended! Our second entrée was a Pan Fried Beef Bun. The beef was flavorful but the bread was kinda dry. Our last entrée was the Beef Wraps. These were great! Who woulda thunk that beef and fresh carrots would go together so well?! Oh, the chili sauce in a jar on the table is extra tasty. At the end, before we got our check, we were given a plate with sliced cucumbers in a light tasty sesame chili sauce. Excellent! But the hot tea was an epic fail. It had no flavor whatsoever. Peeking inside the teapot, all I could see was a micro tiny tea bag floating or sort of sinking. One other thing I kinda don't want to bring up in light of the great food we enjoyed, but need to in the spirit of full disclosure, is to mention that A&J shares space in the building with several other businesses. The restrooms are common to all the businesses. A&J needs to lean hard on the property owner/manager to do a deep cleaning in those restrooms. I'll leave it at that.
