    Craved some Asian food during my unplanned layover. Saw this place and did a double take. Unfortunately required 24 min wait for cheeseburger bao and 7 min wait for some others. So I just went with what was available the bbq pork, spicy Mongolian beef and teriyaki chicken. all were so good! ESP the Mongolian beef and BBQ pork. Would come back to try the others I missed!

    Average fast casual Asian fare. The steamed buns were okay--it's clear they're frozen and not handmade--but I probably wouldn't buy again. Prices are steep (2 medium buns for $10), but that's to be expected of all airport food. I found the BBQ pork a bit too sweet for my taste, though the overall flavor was decent. Dough not fluffy enough.

    First time trying this place at IAD located near the United gates. A bit pricy but we got the potstickers and they are delicious - although will set you back $13 for just 8 pieces not very big. There is some seating if you want to eat there but the takeaways are package in leakproof paper containers so pretty easy to eat anywhere.

    A surprise at Dulles Airport. I really wanted potstickers but they were not available. So I tried the two piece chicken bao. They were served fast and were very hot. But they were not very good. Very doughy and the chicken flavor brought to my imagination canned bbq chicken.

    At Dulles and needed a snack, remember you are at the airport and I am not expecting fine Chinese cuisine. I got the chicken teriyaki because all the other flavors at 9pm was out. I wanted potstickers but not of stock. This is a teriyaki chicken steamed dumpling. It is temperature hot and serving piping hot. It was edible. The dumpling was soft as expected. The filling was hot but flavorless with way too much corn starch but I can see the chunks of chicken. 3 stars since it was temperature hot.

    Dumplings have good flavor and that's about it. All the other reviews are right. I should have gone somewhere else.

    Does that look like $10 worth of pot stickers to you?

    Disappointed in the size of pot stickers. They charged $9.99 for 5 kid size dumplings. They tasted okay but felt cheated. The Chao Siu bao tasted okay but they made you buy two at a time. If you're really hungry before your flight, they'll do but would like to think they'll offer a better value in the future

    I was really craving hand pulled noodles. Luckily I stumbled upon Yo Noodles as the closest thing…read moreto me (about an hour drive). What I enjoyed about Yo more than a place like Dumpling District (very similar in menu) was the quality and vibes of the service and atmosphere. The servers were very helpful to explain the dishes to my family members who needed some help. The food hit! The Spicy dry noodles are definitely what drew me to come here and they did not disappoint. My kids loved the pork chops. The seafood soup was loaded! The flavors were exceptional. And for as much food as we order, the price was pretty reasonable! We look forward to our next visit!

    I used to come here pretty often, but as of our last visit, the quality has significantly tanked…read moreand it's pretty evident that they've started cutting corners. For example, the Panfried Pork Bun used to be my favorite item here but they've changed the recipe significantly. The pork filling used to be a lot larger and juicier...but now when you break open the bun, the filling is so small that half of the bun doesn't even have any meat. 80% of the bun is just dough and it's not fried well and quite greasy. Everything overall was way too greasy, including the crueller and the dry noodles were swimming in oil. I did like the texture of the noodles, but unfortunately it was overshadowed by the oiliness of the broth it was sitting in. It's really sad to see this place fall short since it opened a couple years ago. I'm hoping that they can improve their quality of food as it's really gone downhill since opening.

    BEST CHICKEN ADOBO EVER: If you're looking for authentic Filipino flavors that hit all the right…read morenotes--savory, tangy, and perfectly balanced--this is the place to go. The chicken adobo here is tender, fall-off-the-bone perfection, but the real star is the sauce. It's the most flavorful adobo sauce I've ever had--rich, garlicky, with just the right balance of soy sauce and vinegar, plus a slight sweetness that I absolutely loved. You'll be craving it long after your meal, and trust me, it will bring you back for more. But that's not all! We also tried their Shrimp Kalabasa, and it was just as incredible. The shrimp were plump and juicy, the kalabasa (pumpkin) was soft and naturally sweet, and the green beans added the perfect crunch. The sauce tied everything together beautifully, making every bite comforting and satisfying. Despite the humble appearance of this restaurant in the Food Court, the chef here is top-rate--every dish is packed with bold, authentic flavors that stand out. Service was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Next time, I'm definitely trying their sisig--if it's anything like the dishes I had, I already know it's going to be amazing!

    The litson kawali was not good, the fried rice was worst ( too soft)/moist) plus it's overpriced…read moregiven the quality and quantity Don't waste your time and money. The food court was dirty esp the tables.
