They were also able to accommodate a group of about 18 of my family members and me, which was a huge plus! The service was excellent as well; the staff consistently checked in to make sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend!

I came in for the dim sum. The place was empty which is rare. I sat at the bar and was greeted…read moreimmediately but I wasn't given instructions on how to order the dim sum and as a first timer, I was kind of stuck. The staff answered my questions quickly and took my order. I had the Chinese broccoli, soup dumpling and salt and pepper squid. The Chinese Broccoli wasn't good at all. Very bland and I didn't really like the oyster sauce. The soup dumplings were good. Not anything to write home about, but I'd order them again. The squid was really flavorful and it was a good portion. I also had a giant pot of oolong tea which was delicious. They take Apple Pay as well and for less than $40 it wasn't a bad lunch. I'll be back to give it another shot for dinner.

The food options include dim sum, noodles/rice, congee and desserts. For the additional $10 you can have a list that included certain entrees. The drinks and food come our quick. The bottomless drinks are premixed but still taste good and strong. The restaurant itself is small with few tables inside and outside but it does have a long bar with seats available as well. It's located in Barracks Row so street parking is hit or miss. Will definitely go back and take advantage of this special!

With that, I must say that the reviews did not lie...gosh this food was AMAZING! The combination lo mein contained roasted pork, chicken, and shrimp. I added vegetables to the mix and honey, I was pleasantly surprised by the quantity (made for 3 small meals) but also the quality of the dish. The roasted pork, shrimp, and chicken was perfectly prepared and the lo mein was just right. The flavors combined together for a lite yet delectable dish and I especially loved the vegetables (bok Choy) I would absolutely order here again as long as the quality doesn't change.

The food is consistently fresh, hot, and good, and the customer service is always great. The restaurant itself is fairly small and definitely more of a carry-out than a dine-in restaurant, which is perfectly fine for what it is. My only complaint is that I wish they stayed open later! I usually have to order during work hours because by the time I'm off, they're already closed. Other than that, this is easily one of my favorite spots for Chinese food.

My first dim sum experience and Han Palace did not disappoint!…read more I visited Han Palace in Barracks Row for the first time and tried their all-you-can-eat dim sum. They offer Option A for $38 and Option B for $48 with Option B including additional dishes like General Tso's Chicken, Orange Chicken, and more. We chose Option B and ordered a little bit of everything! Our table was filled with fried and steamed dumplings, bao buns, General Tso's Chicken, Orange Chicken, vegetable fried rice, and several soups. The beef brisket soup was one of my favorites and the fish dish we tried was also really good. Everything came with flavorful sauces that made each dish even better. The cocktails were also a highlight. I had a refreshing lychee cocktail (I unfortunately don't remember the name) and it had the perfect balance, not watered down and actually had a good kick! They also offer a bottomless all-you-can-drink option for $18, which is a great add-on if you plan to stay and enjoy the experience. The service was great, the team came back around often to check on you and provide refills and take your next round of orders for the all-you-can-eat. The food came out fast as well, it was as if they were just continuously cooking it. Overall, I really enjoyed trying so many different dishes, especially as someone new to dim sum. It's a fun option for groups because there's so much variety to share. Would absolutely go back! I've already recommended Han Palace to friends and will definitely be back the next time I'm in D.C.!

We can vouch that the following are excellent: Fried pork and veggie dumplings, steamed pork bun, snow pea dish, herbal tea, peking duck, and soup dumplings* The peking duck was amazing! They had sliced cucumber to add to the wrap and it was so good. *Our soup dumplings did not really have any soup in them BUT they still tasted good. Minus 1 star unfortunately because we were really looking forward to soup dumplings. We ate almost everything we ordered and took home what we did not finish. We are visiting DC but the next time we come we will definitely be returning customers.

Pork croquettes were very dry, that I couldn't initially tell what it is. I didn't like the fruit dessert they offered, as it was too icy and the blend of textures didn't work. I like the crunch that was added on the lo mein, but the noodles were overall meh. Chicken was somewhat bland. The honeycomb cake wasn't anything special, but it fit my palette at least.

Straightforward, comforting Chinese food that's especially well-suited for an easy weekend delivery night. Solid four stars, and I'd order again.
