From mouth watering Dim Sum to savory full flavored soup, each meal is wonderfully crafted and prepared with love and care to showcase its exquisite taste of organic ingredients. The service is exceptional introducing a quick in and out method if in person and delivery using a food courier service. The staff is very friendly and professional making sure your needs are met. If you have an allergy or medical food condition then please do not hesitate to share this information with a staff member to see if adjustments can be made. I have been coming by and enjoying the family friendly service and not to mention the tasty food dumpling district prepared. I am eagerly awaiting a release of their logo as a keychain to collect as a souvenir and gift to family and friends. When ready to satisfy your tastebuds, then stop on by to the Dumpling District located inside the Ballston Quarter neighborhood here in Arlington Virginia. My apologies I forgot to mention that if you like dumplings then definitely try their rainbow soup dumplings or you can purchase it as a gift for a family member or friend. Be warned, they are extremely hot when you open to taste.

I stumbled upon Dumpling District in Ballston Quarter looking for a quick bite and am so glad I stopped. I was greeted immediately by Peter, the general manager, and he was so helpful in breaking down the different dishes and menu items. Very thorough in the descriptions of each. I love soup dumplings, so that was a must try for me. I went with a split of the mala (spicy pork) and crabmeat and pork soup dumplings. The broth was extremely savory and the dumplings held together excellently. The mala was rich in flavor and not too spicy at all and the crabmeat and pork complimented each other nicely. Peter pointed out that the pork chops were one of his favorites, so I had to try those. They weren’t too salty at all like some pork chops and were very tender, cooked to perfection, and no toughness. The flavor was delicious. I also got the braised pork belly bowl and the pork belly just melted in my mouth like butter. 10/10 this will be a regular spot for me. Peter was extremely inviting and you could tell he was very passionate about the dishes. All around an excellent experience you should try for yourself.

The rice and Mambo sauce needs to be worked on. The sauce was spicy and the rice was plain.

I had to update my review. I love how they always take care of me well here. & it’s fast! A reliable neighborhood Chinese place.

I’m not sure why people are putting bad reviews for this place… I ordered last night (Christmas day) an hour before they closed. I was craving something Chinese and everyone was closed. I was a bit worried about the quality of food since it was late and they had bad reviews. Their food is amazing! It came super hot and fresh, they are very generous with their portions and the taste is perfect! Not too salty and not too bland. Definitely recommend ordering from here if your having random cravings :) I ordered last their hunan shrimp with vegetables and fried rice, chicken pan friend dumplings and chicken lo mein. Really tasty!

I order a delivery for the first time today and I am happy I did , food is so delicious, I love it and definitely want to recommend it, I will be ordering from them again soon
