I love this place, especially for the AYCE brunch. It is a great way to have a taste of everything due to the small serving proportion of each order. However it is a little disappointing that none of the steamed soup dumplings are on the AYCE menu. This place is ever well decorated in a pretty modern way. The service is good. We paid $41.02 per person after tax, excluding tips. read more

Came here for brunch, but I have also ordered DoorDash here a few times. It's a great spot but quality of food varies depending on what you get. Let's start with the DD, I usually get the soup dumplings I love the Chicken Soup ones especially but the Pork and Spicy Pork rule too. It's a shame that those are the only soup dumpling flavors though. I also tried the sliced marinated steak yesterday and was disappointed. It was way too thin and way too chewy. Felt annoyed as I spent $12 on it. My friend ordered the veggie dumplings and she said they're ok but lacked seasoning and after I gave them a try, I was inclined to agree. Now let's discuss brunch. The menu is pictured below and $1 mimosas or add $5 onto your AYCE brunch for unlimited non-alcoholic drinks. Not a bad deal. The AYCE menu was five I was a bit underwhelmed especially since most of what I ordered with the exception of the Bao and the braised pork over rice were great. Everything else lacked seasoning. Also a major downside that the soup dumplings aren't an option. The interior is lovelely. If you have a big party with you they'll sit you in this nice and spacious booth in the back its intimate and private and allows your group to really engage in conversation. Service was good though we ran into an issue at least 3 times to my count where they kept bringing stuff we never ordered. read more

Came here with a few friends while I was in town because my friend has been wanting to try it out for a while. The interior is super cute and it was decorated for Lunar New Year too. The dishware was modern too and the overall aesthetic was nice. I love family style eating, and there are great options for that. For 4 of us, we ordered the Set B tasting menu and added about 5 additional dishes. My favorite was the garlic fish and lemon prawn! The spicy items were really not that spicy, which was great for me because I'm a baby lol. Overall the menu has a great variety and all of the food was good! Service was pretty good, the only complaint is that the menu included Peach ice cream and we were given chocolate, which we wouldn't have opted for. We were a little confused and would have appreciated more upfront communication but after asking about it, it was cleared up although it was too late to change anything. I would recommend and return and would love to try some other things on the menu! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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... read more

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. read more

Tiger Dumplings - Lemon Prawn (6), Fried Pork Chop Over Rice, Scallion Pancake, Tiger Signature Pot Stickers (10) - Noodles Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Had my second visit to this gem and the food lived up to my memory. Brought a friend who visits Arlington all the time and had never been there before. He told the server that he will be back with his family. Fun place that doesn't disappoint. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Tiger dumplings was good for me but not amazing. I got carry out so I don't know if that made the difference but trying to eat the dumplings, they were actually falling apart. My soup dumplings were spilling everywhere and it didn't really catch my attention to return. I called ahead yet, my order was not ready on time and it seemed that they were actively making it when I walked in after 20 minutes. Could have been a mistake, not sending it to the kitchen, so I would recommend ordering online so that a ticket is in their system to prevent that. The restaurant was spacious enough, but it definitely gets busy. Very family friendly. read more

Tiger Dumplings was truly a gem find today! We lucked up on parking! There is a lot across the street and it was a brief walk. We arrived during the latter part of Brunch, which is reasonably priced at $36/person. They also had $1 mimosas and a great selection of them. Passionfruit was my favorite, then then Lychee, then Pineapple. I had a little buzz too! The waiter was very attentive. I was happy about that after reading some other reviews. There were only 4 of us, so we could have 8 dishes per table at a time. As soon as we finished our dishes, he was back to take more orders. I feel like we tried the entire menu! Some of my faves were: Tiger Signature Dumplings Crab Cream Cheese Rangoon Tiger Signature Pot Stickers Pork Shrimp Shui Mai Braised Pork Belly Soup Dumplings* - not part of the brunch menu, but worth the price! Table Faves (that were ): Hot Mala Pork Dumplings Dan Dan Noodle 5 STARS! From the waiter, to the service, to the tasty food and drinks, I really want to visit again! And plan to when I'm back in the area! read more

Fantastic food! Ambiance was great, space was clean, waiters were attentive. I would eat here again! In order of preference: Peanut noodle with grilled chicken: the peanut noodles were quite tasty, it was coated in a hearty creamy peanut sauce with good flavor. We added the chicken for protein and it was so well prepared and flavorful. I would 100% eat this again. In fact, I tried re-creating at home and failed. Shiitake chicken dumplings: Perfect texture and thickness of the dumpling skin, great quantity of filling and delicious flavor. These dumplings were perfect in my point of view. Organic cucumber salad: crunchy cucumbers i a delicious sauce - - what is there not to like!? read more

If you were on the fence about trying this spot, hop on over. The dumpling offering is really good. I went with a few co-workers to celebrate the day. The service was quick and attentive. Our server made some really good recommendations. The price point is also very reasonable for what you receive. Our choices were not limited to dumplings. I tried Dan Dan noodles for the first time. No regrets and would order again. My coworker enjoyed the soup dumplings. Go ahead and give Tiger Dumplings a try. It's a great spot for a first date, girls/guys night out or family dinner when nobody wants to cook. Happy Eating! read more

I've been to Tiger dumpling multiple times over the past year, and I absolutely love bringing more friends to this delicious Chinese spot. I think they do a great job of having authentic Chinese flavors as well as more Americanized ones. They're known for their soup dumplings, which absolutely do not. My personal favorite are the spicy pork soup dumplings. The regular dumplings are also yummy, though not quite a stand out or unique. Our group really enjoyed the noodle and rice dishes. We got the Dan Dan noodles, zhajiang noodles, Taibei fried pork chop noodles, and fried pork chop over rice. The flavor profiles of all of the noodle dishes were incredibly umami and savory, and the fried pork chop was perfectly crispy. The one complaint was that the noodles were hard to share! The decor is really cute, and they have some stalls in the back that are capable of accommodating larger groups of up to eight. This is a great place to go family style with some friends to try as many dishes as you are interested in. I would love to come back for their bottomless brunch! read more

Have been wanting to try tiger dumplings for a while now- after seeing all the rave on social media and the great reviews. I finally made reservations for Sunday brunch (had to make them 1.5 weeks+ before). Street parking or garage in the back. Pretty interior, elegant and inviting. We did the All You Can Eat brunch since it was our first time and we wanted to sample different dishes (though limitless or AYCE is rarely ever worth it for us). It's also good to note that some of the dishes that were recommended to me by a friend weren't on the AYCE but was on the a la carte (like the soup dumplings, black truffle/wagyu, and some corn dumpling thing). So you can basically order 7 things at a time, and then they will bring it out and then server will check in. This method had me a bit anxious because sometimes the food didn't come out til later and we were still working on it- and so when my server checked in- we weren't quite ready to order the next batch, but then we would have to track her down when we were ready. So, the 90 min limit went fairly fast. Sometimes, our food never came- so had to let the waitress know we were still waiting on some items (happened 3x). Food wasn't bad but I didn't leave thinking that it was amazing. Some tastier than others- I think our favorites were the spicy wontons, lemon prawns, chicken and mushroom, braised beef and tomato, and cucumbers (lol). I'd come back to try out the a la carte menu, and some of the items my friend recommended. 3.5/5 this visit, maybe the items on the a la carte might better suit me? read more

I didn't have high expectations coming to this place, but I felt spiritually changed coming out of here. My friend and I ordered the Tiger Signature and chicken dumplings and Dan Dan noodles. I was certain that I would like the Tiger Signature dumplings more because pork and shrimp dumplings are classically my favorite, but their chicken dumplings may be my favorite dumplings of all time. I'm not sure how they seasoned them, but they are incredibly juicy and flavorful. I also loved the Dan Dan noodles. I can't recommend this place enough and can't wait to come back! read more

I came for the AYCE brunch menu and had a great time. We got a variety of dumplings, the spare ribs, vegetables, and noodles. I enjoyed each dish, but felt that it was more of an AYCE Chinese food than an AYCE dim sum experience. The best item was surprisingly the fresh soy milk. Not too sweet and tasted very fresh. read more

food was good! ribs and pork belly were unfortunately super dry :( the ayce brunch is a great deal for the area. the fried fish, signature dumplings, soy milk, sesame balls, CHILI OIL WONTONS!, shumai are all super good! service was great, she was super attentive and they did a great job clearing our table as we got more food read more

Yes, yes and a resounding YES!! I've been to Tiger Dumplings twice now, and each and every visit I've been super impressed with the quality and the flavours with each of the dishes and dumplings that I've tried. The restaurant is decorated with a beautiful contemporary boho chic meets Asia style decor, which to me really adds to the ambiance and experince. This visit, I decided to try the Tiger Signature Dumplings and the Fried Pork Chop over noodles... Can we say DIVINE!!! My friend ordered the Lamb Carrot Dumplings and the Combination Stir-Fried Noodles and she was similarly "ummm-ing and ahhhh-ing"! Literally, you will not be disappointed & I cannot wait to come back to try the bottomless brunch so I can explore more of menu!! read more

Came back a year later with some friends to try out their unlimited brunch menu and it did not disappoint. This experience was even better than the last. Our servers was very on top of checking on us for our next set of orders every 10-15 minutes since it was timed seating. The dishes for brunch was smaller which is great so we can try more items They also had brunch drinks for $1 each and my friends really like it! The interior design was very festive since we came around lunar new year time. Would definitely come back for brunch in the future! read more

This is an update to a prior review. I am happy to report that Tiger Dumplings has heard your complaints and now has NO SURCHARGES OR HIDDEN FEES added to your order.

The dishes were generally on point, at or above my expectations in light of location. Would go back if in the neighborhood. read more

I came for Saturday brunch at Tiger Dumplings with a friend. We both had the restaurant on our list of must-visit places in the DMV. I appreciate restaurants that employ the Matchbox style of brunch, where you can order anything on the menu as many times as you want. While there wasn't anything you'd order for breakfast, the food we ordered was thoroughly enjoyed. The servers did a phenomenal job of bringing your food out fast, sometimes a little too fast because the tables are relatively small if you're not a large group. The peach party with bourbon and peach liquor was perfect, and we both liked our peach mimosas. read more

I had a great time at tiger dumplings. I arrived around 5 before it got crowded. Ordered : chicken soup dumplings, vegetable fried rice, ,chicken shiitake dumplings and the lamb carrot dumplings, Dan Dan noodles. Parking, street parking or go around the backside of the restaurant strip and there is a small parking garage. Reservations online or walk in. We did Reservations and there was literally no wait anyways at 5pm on a Saturday. Service was quick, food was good. I enjoyed the vegetable fried rice and shiitake dumplings the most, more flavor than the rest of the items ordered. Soup dumplings I could pass on. I didn't think the flavor was there as much. Literally depends on your taste buds and everyone at my table like different items the most. Chill environment that wasn't too loud at all. Server was Henry and he was great and gave us suggestions on food and drinks as well. read more

Ordered a bunch of food for delivery via UberEats. It's a little expensive but we all loved the food here. Dumplings: veggie lover, tiger signature, cod fish, pork cabbage. Yes every single one was good. It's like $14+ for each order of 8 dumplings, dumplings on the small side. The flavors are great but so expensive compared to the Mama dumplings in Rockville that I've had countless times cucumber salad, fried rice are great. Everyone loved the hot chili oil peanut noodles too Will try to visit in person next time read more
