Awesome spot - cool decor, fast service, and most importantly amazing dumplings. I tried the Shanghai soup dumplings and chicken shiitake potstickers both of which were delicious. I also got an order of the scallion pancake which is definitely a must-order! Everything came out crazy fast, but still fresh and hot - not ashamed to admit I ate every last bite! read more

My sister and I ate here on a Thursday night. I booked a reservation just in case and it was a bit more crowded than I expected, so definitely book a res on yelp! The hostess was super nice, but otherwise the service was just okay. The food was delicious! We panic-ordered the peanut noodles and I'm so glad we did! They were a pleasant surprise. The soup dumplings were great as well. 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

Food 4.0/5.0 Service 3.5/5.0 Value 3.5/5.0 Decor 4.0/5.0 Overall 4.0/5.0 Very solid dumpling / Shanghainese / Taiwanese-ish spot. The soup dumplings did not come with a spoon, but there was indeed soup inside. The vinegar on the table was pretty good. 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

Came right at opening for brunch on a Saturday and there was already a line of people 15 minutes before it opened and I understand why. This was fantastic- the service was amazing, the food was great, and the vibes were awesome! Great spot to try lots of different things. Recommend coming hungry. Table favorites were the dan Dan noodles, hot mala pork dumplings, and chengdu hot wontons. Will totally be back!! 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

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

Mmaayybbeeee we had an off day w them.... Ambiance 10/10.... Service 4/10...Food 5/10.... We were greated with a bubbly host and welcomed us in.. saw our reze and seated us down.... Then it went a llliill sideways.... A waiter did NOT visit our table for about 12 min... not even bringing around waters to start... I had to ask someone if there was a waiter for our table (mind you isn't was NOT busy) finally someone got our drink orders and food orders... our cocktails were oookkkk... my pad Thai was greasy to say the least....my sister lloovveee her chicken soup...both sets of dumplings were mid #overpriced.... Beijing Style Zhajiang Noodles were just ok according to my niece... needless to say not great.... MMmaayybbeeee brunch for "grown ups" is better lol read more

Few meals beat an energetic weekend dim sum. While my wife and I typically veer towards the more authentic, cart style places we decided to check out Tiger Dumplings in Arlington on the appeal of their $36 unlimited dim sum menu. I would suggest making reservations here, as patrons completely filled the dining room throughout our 2 hour Saturday service. The space itself feels sleek and modern, a sharp contrast to the more laid back settings of more classic dim sum houses. We found the majority of the items we ordered tasty. Some menu highlights included the spicy mala pork dumplings, the fluffy pan fried buns, the addictive cucumber salad, perfectly jiggly braised pork belly, comforting Dan Dan noodles, and the well crafted, unique egg crepes. I would pass the bland fish appetizer, the basic pork sausage, and the overly sweet ribs. A general critique of all of the items we ordered were that the "spicy" items lacked punch and that the dishes overall ran a bit salty, but these minor faults did not detract from our meal. Also, the menu seems more Sichuan and Northern Chinese influenced rather than the typical Cantonese, so experienced dim sum goers may notice a lack of some classic items. Our waiter was attentive and constantly checked in on us, though we often had to remind him that we were still waiting on certain items and even had to order a specific item four times for it to finally arrive near the end of our meal. I encounter this service issue often with bottomless brunch places, though it felt more palpable here. While $36 per person may seem a little steep, I honestly find myself spending near that much at the push cart style places, so the value proposition is decent. Honestly, I enjoy the chaotic and lively atmosphere of traditional dim sum over the more scene-y vibes here, but cannot fault the food and value overall. While my wife and I are not clamoring to return, Tiger Dumplings is certainly a solid option in Arlington for getting a dim sum craving met. read more

I don't review on service but seriously? You're seated greeted and no one takes your order... just tell us your kitchen is taking a break or you're no longer serving so we can leave and go else where. Or tell us someone will be with us.. over 15 mins no one addresses us . Sorry but being hangry doesn't help my situation. Let's hope patience is a virtue. Ambiance is the typical young yuppie brunch crowd.. wooden lantern covers think Izakaya but Chinese. Very bamboo forward. So after making eye contact with multiple people and being ignored someone finally comes over and is like are you ready? Why yes I am the question is are you? Order: Combination stir fried noodles Organic Cucumber Salad Sea Salt Garlic Fish Scallion pancake Black truffle & Wagyu Dumplings Teibei Porkchop Noodles Not pictured: Crystal Shrimp dumplings Look the noodles came out first and were not even steaming it was probably left over form The brunch hour that just ended at 3:30Pm which is why everyone couldn't care less about service for dinner. Honestly the only things they were hot are the scallion pancake and maybe the crystal shrimp dumplings cause they were last. The black truffle waygu dumplings overall flavor was good would I get it again no look at how faded the color is in comparison to other photos that are vibrant... how long had these been sitting before steaming and why are they not in a bamboo steamer basket like other dumplings? Cucumber salad needed more umph it really was a bit flat but was fine since that teibei noodle dish was so salty I mean I literally was eating sauce and drinking excessive amounts of water. My father agreed it was a bit odd that the truffle dumplings hadn't come out first considering that that the flavor is so delicate that not having the dumplings hot would be such an oversight. Honestly tiger dumpling I think has a concept but perhaps today was a fall in eviction especially for the price of the overall meal oh and there wasn't even any cocktails or beverages. Just the dishes... but the price point just does not match the quality given at this visit. Perhaps we just chose an off peak time which caused a lack in quality and service. I am willing to give them a chance perhaps the AYCE is better opportunity to try what they have to offer. read more

Picture this, you're hungry for brunch but your friend group is indecisive. They agree they want unlimited small plates, but cannot decide between savory, sweet, or spicy focused dishes. Why choose and risk sacrificing quality along the way? Every dish was fantastic, with volume to share if you're not as greedy as I was being. We had a group of five and tried almost everything on the menu from top to bottom, the food so delicious I couldn't even find the time to take a picture before someone dug into half of them. Clear standouts for me: chicken shiitake dumplings, scallion pancakes, and lemon prawn. If for nothing else, their flavors were standouts in terms of perfect creativity. There were no misses in what we ordered, I could write an easy about each dish but to save you time just know you'll want to try each of them even if they seem similar. Word of advice, book ahead and be patient. We got reservations and had no issue being seated but walk ins were waiting for a really long time, each table has a two hour limit so when it's full there's not much you can do. The brunch experience is still relatively new at this location so there can be some delay between rounds of food and drinks. An easy fix to this is to order a lot right out the gate and then order more every time your waiter checks on you, it keeps the good times coming. read more

Service was great - attentive and kind staff. I asked how spicy the hot chili noodles were and he said, "less than mild" and I agreed! So, hot tip for vegetarians -- get the hot chili noodles and vegetable lovers dumplings ! They are delicious. The preserved egg & tofu and scallion pancakes were yummy apps too. I would like to see a few more vegetarian friendly noodle dish options though, perhaps - dan dan or Beijing style with vegetables instead of meat. The food is delicious and stayed true to Northern Chinese cuisine. We had a party of 10 in the semi-private booth and we were cozy. There were several table seating options as well. They even have some merchandise! read more

I've been multiple times for brunch and I think it's a good deal for what it is! Not the best dumplings or food but still worth trying for around $36! Service can vary, being fast and slow depending on the day I feel like. The times I've been too, I've been seated late after my reservation time. Items I've liked: lamb carrot dumplings, scallion pancake, chengdu spicy wonton, hot mala pork dumplings, tiger signature potstickers Items I didn't like: the soups (too watery...), fried milk sticks, brown rice cakes, chinese mini egg crepe Items that were meh: tiger signature dumplings, dan dan noodle, sago, lemon prawn, the baos, steamed bok choy, hot chili oil peanut noodles I get green thai tea for their $5 add-on for drinks! Worth it! Place can get a little cramped if busy. read more

Really great spot for an all-you-can-eat brunch. There are a lot of options on the menu and for AYCE, it is really a great deal. A lot of the food is fried and on the heavier side but for what you are getting it really is a good deal. My highlights were: - Lemon prawn: Those were extremely crispy and the sauce added a good subtle tartness to it - Ribs (in a plum sticky sauce I think): The meat was extremely tender. The sauce had a bit of sweetness to it that paired perfectly with the ribs - Lamb Dumplings: Ive never had lamb in a dumpling but this worked exceptionally well. No notes, would get again -Cucumber salad: This was so refreshing. Our table ordered this non-stop -Garlic shredded potatoes: I can't even tell if I liked this but my palate was intrigued because this dish tasted like something I have never had before. The garlic and spices on it came through Things I would probably skip if I went again: -Chinese egg crepe: I love Chinese egg crepes and it was nice to see the workers making it fresh. This just didn't hit for me; it needed a bit more of a crunch. I can imagine though that this would taste better if you combined it with the garlic sausage. -Milk Sticks: It was giving sad mozzarella stick Would definitely come back to this place for a fun AYCE brunch! read more

Short walk from the train station. Loved the vibe. Immediately sat by the hostess--we had a reservation but got there early. Food was amazing. We didn't know what to get so we got the tasting menu "A". Everything was delicious. Our server was great. Even the guy that helped clear the empty plates away was nice. read more

Food was yummy but prices are absurd. $32 for a very small portion of beef and literally 3 bites of rice

Yasss for delicious soup dumplings!! We came on a Friday evening. On our drive over, I put my name on the waitlist and was seated promptly when we arrived. The place was absolutely hopping. I loved the casual/chic vibe, and personable/fast service. We ordered a variety of items, and my favorites were the spicy pork soup dumplings and the chili oil wontons. Both had a lovely heat (but not spicy). The soup dumplings were bursting with soup and chewy/delicate skin. The chili oil wonton was so interesting and flavorful! We also ordered the chicken soup dumplings but I must have been aggressive with my chopsticks because each of them split before I could bite into them! But my husband got one intact, and this was his favorite dish. We also tried the scallion pancakes, which had a great crisp, shatter to them. I wished for more scallion flavor though. The lemon prawns were also a great appetizer. Can't wait to come back! read more

Great spot for dumplings hands down. The soup dumplings were among some of the best. I was surprised that they were good as Chinatown in NYC. But DMV has arrived.

Came here with friends for all you can eat brunch/lunch. Pros: server was super attentive and really on point the whole time she was great. Cons: had to wait 20 minutes for our reservation as nobody was staffing the host stand and then all the tables were full. Middle ground: food came out some really fast some really slow, I get it's an AYCE but something we ordered 2 orders ago would come out after something from the most recent order so it was hard to tell if we were actually going to get that item. Food itself also falls here, some dishes were surprisingly good, like the Dan Dan noodles, while others fell flat like the signature tiger dumplings. All in all, 3 stars, it's kinda what you expect read more

Ahhh-mazing. Absolutely delicious apps, dumplings and more!! We were able to go for Arlington's Restaurant Week and such a great experience hands down! We tried so many dishes my favorite appetizers were the garlic pepper shredded potatoes and the scallion pancakes! Although the cucumber salad and the garlic fish filets are a must!! Great date night spot, the music wasn't too loud and it was upbeat. The seating is a little tight but it works for the space. They have large booths for groups too! The service was impeccable! Must try! Ready to go back! read more

This place has been around since 2023, so I would still consider it a newbie! I think this restaurant has the whole package. Street parking was pretty easy to find off the next block. The ambience is very modern and simple decor, perfect for a casual meal or date night! The main reason to come here though is the dumplings. They are on point!! My favorites were the tiger signature (pork and shrimp), shrimp/celery, and surprisingly the fish dumplings! Notable ones - hot mala and black truffle! Both were very flavorful, but just not dumplings that I could eat alot of! The scallion pancake is very flaky, light and crispy! The plum pork ribs were amazing and fall off the bone. The panfried dumplings were a sizable portion and was presented like snowflake dumplings!! To end this amazing meal, we had the coconut sago and sesame balls!! Chefs kiss to everything we tried!! Cant wait to try more! read more

Overall a decent Chinese place in the area. Portions are a bit small for the prices. I tried: - Five spice marinated beef shank - good, but rather unique that it came with salad and mayo sauce. I've never eaten that kind of beef with such condiments, but it was still good. - Dan dan noodles - rather disappointed in this one, as it came without peanuts. I'm used to eating this dish with peanuts, so my disappointment just stems from this "break" in a traditional dish for me, but otherwise, the flavors were still good. - Beijing style Zhajian noodles - rich and hearty flavors. Nicely balanced out with fresh shredded cucumbers. Haven't tried dumplings here, but heard they are excellent, so maybe next time... read more

Got dinner here with a couple of friends, the staff were very accommodating and friendly. They gave us pickled radish and plum pork as a welcome dish and both were delicious. I got the spicy pork soup dumplings, they were fantastic and very warming. I also enjoyed their pork wonton soup. Overall, it's a nice spot and the dumplings are great and well made. I'd definitely go again! read more

I love that this place has Yelp waitlist since it made it super easy for us to reserve our spot online while driving and get seated right away! The restaurant is cutely decorated and we were choosing between going with a set or making our own. We decided to make our own so we could try a bunch of things that we were more interested in! Cucumber salad - unique and yummy sauce! However cucumber didn't seem to have its water drawn out before hand so the cucumber flavor overpowers it and it doesn't pick up the sauce well. If this was more marinated would be very good but as is 2.75/5 Scallion pancake - very crispy and great layers! Good flavor 3.5/5 Siu Mai - this didn't taste that fresh or juicy 1.5/5 Tiger dumplings - very moist and flavorful! Can taste the homemade 3.75/5 Tiger potstickers - similar to dumplings but less filling and not crunchy enough 3/5 Spicy wonton - best wonton I probably ever had including ones in nyc! Love the spicy, savory, little sweet sauce and super moist meat! 5/5 Pork chop noodle - good few bites but got a bit heavy and oily when you eat more noodles. Wish other flavors besides soy sauce were stronger. Pork chop was ok 3/5 Beef noodle soup - broth taste more of soy sauce and beef. Heavy and a bit boring. The beef is cooked decently with some very good pieces at least! 2.5/5 Green Thai tea - fragrant and not too sweet 3.5/5 read more

I can see why Tiger Dumplings is such a popular place. The vibe inside is very aesthetic. I couldn't decide on what to order so I ordered a few different things. I ordered the cucumber salad from the appetizer menu. Although it says spicy I did not taste any spice at all and I thought the peanut sauce was very tasty. I also ordered the combination stir fry noodles which had chicken and shrimp. The flavor was amazing! The noodles came out first and then the cucumber salad. The soup dumplings came out last. I finished the soup dumplings because I knew they would not reheat well. I definitely wasn't able to finish the noodles and cucumber salad and was glad to have another meal for later. read more

Been wanting to go to Tiger Dumplings for a hot minute! Bless it's very close to the Clarendon metro. Came for a late Friday lunch (1:30 PM) and it was pretty empty. A few tables were occupied but service was very quick. I was curious to get a pot of tea and saw a table with this small ass pot for $10+ and decided not to get it. My friend was feeling their Thai tea, so we got a glass each. In the end we ordered and shared: - tiger potstickers - chicken and shiitake dumplings - cucumber salad - beef shank - spicy and sour chicken dumplings soup (amazing!) We had MORE than enough food and everything was super flavorful. Is everything oily? Yes but it wasn't too bad. I would suggest to Tiger Dumplings to switch out their plastic chopsticks for wooden because the cucumber salad kept slipping out of my chopsticks and in the end, I just stuck with a fork lol. read more

3.5 Street parking was easy around the corner. Overall the food was Okay, but we really appreciated the fast and attentive service which made me click the 4 instead of 3 star. And also they made good on what they're named for. The chili oil on the table was not spicy at all. It was more oil than chili, which was disappointing. Pickled vegetables: this was really good and we ordered more and then more to take home and they didn't charge us. A tangy sweet lemony mix that was super crunchy and nice as a palette cleanser. Organic cucumbers: these were refreshing but the flavors didn't take well to the cucumber because the sauce was on the watery side. Spicy pork dumplings: pretty good, soup was nice and hot and juicy, the meat itself was flavorful and had a kick. I thought the skin itself was a bit too thick, and one of them came ripped so that was sad. Signature Tiger fried pot stickers: these were my favorite on the menu. Thin wrapping, loved the method where they stick together. Very flavorful. Really good-- would come back for these. Dan dan noodles with pork: on the greasy side and honestly didn't have that much flavor. The noodles were thinner than I expected but they had a nice chewy texture. Scallion pancakes: Not worth getting-- the ones from trader Joe's better than this. There was no flavor, no scallion. Garlic salt fish filet: very small portion, crispy but not salty enough. I wasn't a big fan of the batter, and it felt dry and overcooked. Wouldn't get this again either. Braised duck: definitely not worth getting. The sauce was really good but the duck was not tender at all, very dry. Overall I had a dumpling craving and this hit the spot. Next time I come I'll probably stick to just dumplings and pot stickers!! It is nice that they offer a lot on the menu, but I'm glad they delivered on what their specialty is though. read more
