Han Palace Mclean

We have visited Han Palace several times but no longer dine there due to the decline in service over the years. During our last visit for dim sum, we noticed that one of the soda cups had a strong smell of bleach, indicating that it needed to be washed properly before being used to serve coke. The manager refunded the cost of the Coke after we complained. However, the overall dining experience could have improved if the service had improved. The dim sum was average, and we agree with another reviewer about the bubble tea being too sweet, which affected the taste.

Always disappointed with the service here 😞 despite how many chances we gave them. Waiter said “you need to pay me now” and we just finished eating. Food over the years got worst and worst. Shrimp dumpling skin was thick and mushy and no taste at all. Roast duck salty and lots of fat. The only thing we enjoyed the most is the sesame ball. Reason why we kept on coming is the location. Other than that would go to Falls Church area for Dim Sum

I had the pleasure of coming to Han for my friend's wedding, I was very happy with Johnny's excellent service throughout, they made delicious drinks and the food was delicious, thank you so much for their service!

Overall, the dim sum is pretty OK in general and it is great that they have dim sum in this area since there aren’t a lot here. The chrysanthemum tea is pretty good as well as the chicken feet and siu mai and chives dumpling. I would skip the coconut pudding because it tasted a bit old. Also, the baked pork bun was not what I was really expecting since it has an all white exteriors and is a bit undercooked. Service is OK and the interior of the place is pretty large. Nothing to write home about.

Beautiful interior- Dim sum was okay, the crab balls , crispy pork belly and lobster were good but the congee was so bland. Service was poor like the other commenters said. Might be back.

It's a mixed bag. This location makes fairly good dim sum, but the roasted meats are iffy (Peking Duck is good, roast pork is okay) and some of the dumpling dishes are merely okay. Atmosphere is pretty nice, but awkward for Chinese restaurant ( it was trying for upscale Tea House like the ones in Hong Kong, but it was missing the carts and the restaurant is built like it used to be a steak house, including wine wall.) Service is bad though for anyone who does not speak Chinese; my Korean American friends were ignored until we started to order in Mandarin. We may had also a cold shoulder when we spoke English with each other. Understaffed too. We were also told that we ordered too much food?!? Never heard that before. Highlights: excellent seafood main courses. There is also a parking garage that charges but ask restaurant to comp for dining.

The atmosphere was nice but the service was horrible. Our egg yolk custard bun was ice cold in the middle so we asked our waitress to take it back and steam it longer, our waitress first didn’t believe us then she took it without any apologies what’s so ever. The pork in the congee was very gamey. Overall ok food, bad service and not worth it for the price!

It is great place to get dim sum but their dim sum is not recommended for dinner. The dinner dim sum always tastes a little bit soggy. I recommended to try out the dim sum for lunch.

the food was very good i love the meat and the dimsum the duck was good and atmosphere very nice and friendly

Great foods, fresh and authentic. Good selection of foods but not overwhelming. Place was clean and roomy. Customer service was good, especially Cantonese speaking server. She was not pushing and gave good recommendations. Definitely will go back if we are in the area.

The bbq pork and pork buns were very delicious. The shrimp dishes were good, but nothing crazy. The beef lo mein was not very flavorful. The interior is very nice with a lot of seating. This place does not have did sum carts, and instead, you have to just order off the menu. Our waiter was rude and not friendly.

We had our birthday party here,their service was perfect ,the Bar served us lots of good drinks,excellent food and service made it an enjoyable party,We will be back,I wish we could have a different experience! (The music would be better with different music if possible!)

Han Palace is the new reincarnation of Arlington's China Garden and I am a huge fan! The dining room is modern and upscale, servers are friendly, and they have the same great menu as before with some updated specialties. When we come here we always order: - Beef Chow Fun - Combination Pan Fried Noodles - Peking Duck - Har gow - Siu mai - Baked bbq pork buns - Deep fried crab claw - Turnip cakes - Steamed shrimp crepe - Garlic snow pea leaf - Sesame balls - Portugese egg custard tarts They have really upped the serving time and they have a great takeout service as well. It's been getting harder and harder for me to find Canto style food so this place tastes like childhood to me.

2-star service, 4-star ambiance, 3.5 star food. Han Palace is located right next to Tyson mall and is a great option for Asian food in the vicinity where options lack. Take into consideration this review is acknowledging the fact that Han Palace is not in Rockville -- Chinese food mecca! We ordered a variety of food. Personal favorites were lotus leaf sticky rice, shumai and crispy beef. These dishes were really yummy. I also really liked that they do all day dimsum. Everything else was about average, nothing too special. Price is a little steep for Chinese food which makes things a bit tough. Overall, I would be back at Han for a business meeting, or if I'm in the neighborhood for some good ambiance Asian food. Otherwise, there are better options elsewhere.

Parking kind of sucks here, I only saw a few spaces in the front. Our waiter was not that attentive and had an attitude. We came here for the ceiling decor but got stuck in a side room. Food was mediocre, we tried their special dish for 3 meats and the honey bbq pork was not very good. I had a problem with their crispy roast pork because I thought I found a weird hair in it and when I told The waiter he assured me it was Pig hair. I'm like why would there only be one piece of hair and he was so nonchalant about it. I didn't want the piece so my aunt took it and picked off the HAIR, it turned out to be a small piece of those metal scrubbers they clean the wok with. I'm like omg that's even worse than what i thought it was. That's dangerous, not cool. He took the metal scrubber piece back to the kitchen and came out with a better attitude and gave us some dim sum dishes on the house. Overall I think it's ok to try this place once if you're passing by but often, nope. Waitstaff should be friendly throughout the meal. Always be vigilant when eating, crap happens.

I had an absolutely delightful experience at Han Palace. Nestled in a cozy corner, the restaurant boasts a small parking lot, yet its interior is surprisingly big, adorned with charming decorations that create a welcoming ambiance. We got the crystal shrimp dumplings, a true standout and personal favorite. Each delicate bite burst with flavor, leaving me craving more. Additionally, the rice noodles and pan-fried turnip cake were equally impressive, offering a delightful combination of textures and tastes. What truly impressed me was the swiftness with which each dish arrived at our table, piping hot and brimming with freshness. It was evident that the kitchen operated with precision and care, ensuring a seamless dining experience. Moreover, the attentive service added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal, as our server was courteous and accommodating throughout. Overall, my visit to Han Palace left a lasting impression, and I look forward to returning to explore more of their delectable offerings in the future.

A lot of people give mixed reviews for this place, but my sister told me that the food and service has improved since they opened. I finally went here about a week ago and was not disappointed. The staff were super nice, there was already a line out the door (go through the main building, not the side entrance and wait in line by the restrooms btw), and everything came out in a timely manner. We ordered a LOT of items, which overwhelmed my family, but in the end, we were left satisfied with all the items we ordered as well as the service. My favorite bites were the BBQ pork buns as well as the shrimp crepe rolls. Parking is free if you park by the entrances, but there is also a garage that you can park at if there isn't free parking left for a small fee. There is also plenty of seating, and a nicer "elevated" dim sum experience, where you can see everything being made in the back.

The order placed for my in-law family's birthday dinner. The confirmation email gave the approximate time 04:52 pm. I went in at 05:02 pm for the order to be ready. It was not. I can understand Chinese New Year can be busy but I really wish they do a better job at giving a better estimated time for customers. I waited until 05:55 pm. The order was still not ready. I had asked for a refund. Then they stated that only one item left. I had to request again for a refund. I'm terribly sad that I have such experience at the place that our family thoroughly enjoyed.

We made a reservation for 16 people. When we arrived, we were asked to sit at two saparate tables. One with 10 people with table cloths, the other one with 6 people without table cloth. When we asked to have the table cloths on the other table, we were told the table was small for the table cloth they have. Later they brought out the table cloth for the small tables. We asked for two big tables to combine them so we all could sit together, they would not accommodate. For the food, the dimsum dishes were wonderful and reasonably priced; however, the waiter suggested that we order dug with sticky rice since it was their favorite dish. DO NOT ORDER THIS DISH. It didn't taste good and was overpriced. The lobster dishes did not taste as good. It did not taste as good. Beside all, PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR, DO NOT ORDER MIX DRINK. We ordered some mojito for us and they were some kind of green syrup and it tasted so bad.

Finally visited Han Palace as a recommendation from a long time ago. Came on a Saturday for dinner They opened at 4 pm but they were not ready from the lunch hour close. They were still cleaning dirty dishes off tables. Arrived at 4 pm and another party was waiting to be seated. It took them about 10 minutes after opening to have us seated. The seats were not clean as there were crumbs and hair on it. The restaurant had a cheap appearance as the decorations were just taped on to the ceiling. Hopefully they don't do this all year round since I think it would be a major turn off for some people who would want a nice dining experience in McClean. The food came out very quickly, but I was disappointed in the taste. The steamed shrimp was by far my favorite here. The beef chow fun was very oily and did not have much flavor. The custard bread was not too bad. For a place called Han Palace, it did not seem much like a palace but more like a shack based off the cleanliness and decorations. The bathroom was a mess with trash on the floor and poor maintenance. Parking is free for two hours in the garage and they do validate if you go over two hours.

Tried some of almost everything and nothing was good. The service is actually atrocious, our server sat us down and instantly hounded us for our orders, the menu is in small print and no prices are listed. We were only given refills on water once and they gave us the wrong foods. The hostess is very nice but the servers are terrible. The fried foods were stale, the fried taro is supposed to be light and crispy but it's dense and stale. The shrimp rice crepe is terrible, the worst one I've had from any dim sum place the rice wrap is not made well and the texture is off and the sauce it's in is not good at all. We got house style noddles which came w seafood, every single piece of seafood felt like rubber and was insanely fishy... terrible . Everything is unbelievably underwhelming and over priced. The only decent things we got were the baked bbq buns and the turnip cake but they are good at every other dim sum place too so I would just not go here. The place looks nice and feels like it would be good which is why it's even more disappointing. Even though it looks nice in such a nice area there's NO AIR-CONDITIONING, in the middle of summer no AC is an atrocious experience. This place is literally a waste of space put any other restaurant here please.

Was going to give them maybe a 4 1/2 but this is the second time I've been here and they have to get a 3-star overall. Now this has nothing to do with the food because it's pretty good. The first time I was here back in February I sat inside and the restaurant itself is comely decorated and the service was alright...I could tell the server really didn't speak good English so couldn't really tell me much about the menu. I ate when it was happy hour so the drink specials were a good price I got a lemon drop and appetizer steamed shrimp dumplings with for the first time tried beef chow fun dry. And I can tell you it was really good and the right armpit of spice as I told them I wanted it spicy. Now days first today I did carry out and got the same dry beef chow fun and asked for STEAMED crab meat dumpling. Not thinking nothing I waited around 10-15 minute then took my order and went on my way. It wasn't until king or home that I realized that I got FRIED crab wonton which were completely overpacked at $10.95. Plus the noodle dish was not a piece of spice on it after I told her I wanted it spicy! Not sure why she didn't understand I wanted it STEAMED. I don't eat much fried food and if I wanted those wonton I could have went to my local hole in the wall Chinese joint for them. And to top of off don't even put any dipping sauce for them. So moral of the story make sure the people taking your order does it correctly AND you check your order before you leave out!

Went for dimsum on a Saturday night. Maybe that was the first mistake, because I am used to going to dimsum places for brunch, where waiters push carts of fresh dimsum in the restaurant. Nothing we ordered was fresh. The shrimp dumplings and the wide noodles with shrimp tasted stale and microwaved. The dumping wrapping and noodles did not have the chewy bounce that I am used to and easily crumbled in my mouth. The pork buns were super hot right out of what I assumed was heated in the microwave. It did not taste good or fresh at all. The only thing that tasted ok was the turnip cakes, which had to be pan-fried. I regret not listening to the yelp reviews because this place was not worth the money or visit at all.

This place is amazing for dim sum. My family and I love coming here and ordering the chicken feet and the lotus wrapped rice among many other staples to a dim sum meal like shu mai and shrimp dumplings. Everyone here is super helpful even during the rush of brunch/lunch. The bathroom situation is a little rough for the size of the restaurant, but if you walk out the back into the business building the restaurant is attached to, you can find more appropriately sized bathrooms and still get back into the restaurant easily.

It's okay. There are so many other Chinese/Cantonese restaurants though. You can do better. The average rating of 3/5 is about right. Grand palace feel coupled with about average food and poor service, left me wanting to leave and not go back anytime soon. Service was slow, waitress was inattentive, crispy wonton strips were stale and not fresh, we had to flag someone down to ask for water. Overall, not really a good experience. Why settle for mediocrity? More like mediocrity palace. Not recommended.

My most recent time visiting for dim sum redeemed my first couple of times. Service was respectful; dishes were consistently and flavorfully made (I especially loved the taro dumplings and turnip cake). Atmosphere was relatively relaxing.

The food was fine, but nothing stellar. Compared to other dimsum places in NoVa, it's just okay. It isn't a bad option; prices are reasonable, it's a comfortable space, and the staff is friendly. The rabbit jelly was super cute, but didn't really taste like anything as an FYI!

We had stayed away from trying Han Palace due to all the negative feedback we've heard from friends. Finally bit the bullet and tried for dinner. Service was not great, don't be fooled by the nice decor. The food was worse than anticipated both in quality and taste. Most of our dim sum came out cold and soggy - clearly sitting there for some time. When we asked for fresh ones, our server had an attitude. Every main dish was way too salty. Even the marinated meats - we had to cut off the outer layers to eat because the saltiness was so overwhelming. The salt and pepper seafood was pretty much all squid - cheapened out on the shrimp/scallops. The leek/ham was only half leek/ham - the other half of the plate was stuffed with cauliflower to fill up space! We won't be back.

I recently visited Han Palace McLean, and while the food was good, the experience was completely overshadowed by the customer service. A staff member named Johnny, who wasn't even our server, approached our table in a manner that was nothing short of conniving and unprofessional. He tried to pressure us about the amount of tip we left, which was both inappropriate and deeply unsettling. It felt like he was trying to bully us into leaving a larger tip, which was not only disrespectful but also felt targeted, considering our group was Black. If someone leaves a tip that reflects what they can afford, that should be respected. Attempting to pocket-check and push for more money is not how you treat customers and completely soured the experience. I was willing to leave a larger tip, but Johnny's approach was so unpleasant that it ruined what could have been a positive visit. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, and I hope the management addresses it.

Starting from the outside, if you come at a busy time you probably won't be able to find a parking spot right outside the restaurant and will have to pull a ticket for the garage. Parking is free for the first 2 hours. The decor inside is quite nice and clean though our table was pretty wobbly. The party room is pretty big and holds about 20 people. We were there for dim sum but it's not quite like your standard dim sum; you order it instead of the carts coming by. I felt that the food was made well but lacked flavor, namely salt. However we did order some non-dim sum dishes and those were better, the Singapore stir fry noodles and the chow mein.

Han Palace in McLean has become my go-to for dim sum in Northern Virginia. I have come here a number of times and will strongly recommend going on a Friday afternoon or weekday afternoon instead of the weekend, if possible. The wait is longer in the weekend. We came here one Friday afternoon and got seated in a booth right away. We ordered a variety of dim sum with a pot of chrysanthemum. My husband and I love the shrimp dumpling, chicken feet, turnip cake, spare ribs, char siu bao and shiu mai. The items came out hot and fresh. Service was quick, they got our order and brought out the food right away. The restaurant looks modern. It attracts different clientele on the weekday, such as retirees, office workers, college students etc. There is a parking garage behind the restaurant, you will need to get a ticket but it's free for the first 2 hours. Will recommend!

Visited this place over Labor Day weekend. Amazing dim sum, lobster pan fried noodles and fried flounder. Seafood is super fresh and they definitely make it very well. Lobster is tender with their special sauce and the fish is fried very well! Apparently they fly their seafood from Alaska so it's pretty good quality. I absolutely loved it! Dim sum is made fresh to order and is fair pricing. Staff was very quick and super friendly. I highly recommend it! Although I'm not a local I think this place was very good even for visiting out of town! Just one note: Lobster noodles are good but I wish there were more noodles.

Roasted pork, too much fat , this is not what I ordered Bad service, the waitress said this's what we received

This is a solid place if you're looking for food in the area. There's 2-hour parking right outside, but if you can't find any there's a parking garage as well. There are plenty of options at a decent price point. Nothing on the menu that was noteworthy in my opinion, but I also can't say anything was bad. The service was quick and the staff was nice!

Food came out pretty quickly. Delicious. Nice atmosphere and decoration. enjoyed the dumplings, cucumber, and scallion pancakes.

Please read thoroughly for details on my horrible takeout order on Friday night 7/26/2024. I wasted $86.71 on Order #50754886 as follows: F10. Lo Mein [Chicken] (1) $15.95 F13. Yang Chow Fried Rice (1) $15.95 R2. Han Style Peking Duck [Half] (1) $30.00 T6. Chicken Teriyaki (4 pcs) (2) $19.90 The food was absolutely DISGUSTING. It was a complete waste of money. I have asked the restaurant for a full refund. We had to throw it all away and order from somewhere else. We have previously ordered from Han Palace McLean. This time it was not the same quality as our previous orders. We have been ordering from Han Palace for over a year, and Friday night was the absolute worst in terms of quality. 1. The Pekíng duck was dry (tasted like it was reheated from a previous day). 2. The wraps for the Peking duck were moldy. We found green spots on them. They were clearly expired. 3. The fried rice appeared to have been reheated...it had no taste and was not fresh...leftovers from the previous day. 4. The chicken lo mein was equally as bad....very dry, no taste, appeared to have been reheated from the day prior. 5. The chicken teriyaki appetizers were very dry and hard...clearly overheated and not fresh. For Han Palace to charge such high prices for leftover food from days prior is very alarming. We are very disappointed with the quality of food and would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Horrible attitude by the staff and bad customer service. No high chairs available for kids. When we asked for an extra menu the waitress was annoyed. A clean plastic bowl dropped on the ground by accident and the waitress took it away but never came back with a replacement bowl. I can see why this place has so much reviews bad service. Food is overpriced. We ordered the plate with 3 types of meat. The duck was very stinky and had gone bad. Our family has eaten a lot of ducks and know good quality from spoiled meat. When we told the waitress, they told us it's supposed to taste like that and got annoyed at us. Instead of people pushing carts of dim sum, you order the dim sum off a menu here. This is the first dim sum place where the tea was not complimentary. $9 extra charge just for the tea without telling us. Forced 18% service charge. You can park in a parking deck which is free up to 2 hours.

This is one of the better dim sum places that I've been to in the DMV area. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. Parking directly in front of the restaurant was full, but there's a garage around the corner with free two-hour parking. Han Palace also validates your parking if you exceed the two-hour limit. The space is tight; there's no room for dim sum carts rolling around, so you have to order off the menu. We ordered several plates, all of which had nice presentation: - har gao - shui mai - my favorite of the day - shrimp rice noodle crepe - fried taro - turnip cake - chicken feet - steamed pork buns - sticky rice Large plates: - beef chow fun - seemed to be full of fillers like bean sprouts and onions - garlic snow pea leafs For dessert: - durian cake - Portuguese egg tarts - pineapple buns The dishes were brought out quickly. Service was average. We got our initial orders in at the beginning, but then the waitress basically ignored us until we flagged her down to request some more dishes. I did find prices to be more expensive - lunch averaged to about $30 per person after tax and tip - but perhaps you're paying for the ambiance. Gratuity was already included in the bill for our party of nine. While I enjoyed the meal, I don't know that it's worth the price to return.

Lukewarm Dim Sum Experience at Hans Palace Visiting Hans Palace in McLean, VA, I had high hopes for a delightful dim sum feast, given its promising menu and local buzz. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite match the anticipation, earning a mediocre three-star rating from me. Firstly, Hans Palace breaks from tradition by not offering cart service, which is a charming aspect of dim sum that many patrons, myself included, look forward to. Despite this, expectations remained high for the dishes that we had ordered. The variety was commendable; we tried a wide range of items including beef congee, snow pea leaves, shumai, crispy roast pork, both steamed and baked pork buns, chicken feet, turnip cake, cucumbers, eggplant with shrimp, steamed pork ribs, shrimp rice crepe, beef chow fun, sesame balls, and egg tarts. Regrettably, the chief issue was temperature. It was surprising and disappointing to find that the food arrived cold, hovering around room temperature. This was quite unexpected, especially considering the dishes were brought directly from the kitchen. Dim sum thrives on freshness and the joy of biting into something straight out of the steamer or fryer. In our case, the tepid temperatures significantly detracted from what could have been an exceptional taste experience. On a positive note, the snow pea leaves were a standout. Their freshness and flavor rose above the rest, making them my favorite of the meal. However, even these could not wholly redeem the disappointment of the other dishes. In conclusion, while the variety at Hans Palace is extensive and the snow pea leaves are a must-try, the lack of heat in their dishes was a letdown. It would be a far more enjoyable experience if more attention were given to ensuring food is served at the appropriate temperature, befitting the nature of dim sum. Should they rectify this, I would consider returning to give them another chance to live up to their potential.

I recently dined multiple times at this restaurant and found it to be clean with decent food at reasonable prices. However, one significant downside is their air conditioning, which is either weak or non-existent. Today, they mentioned that the AC was broken and left the door open for ventilation, despite the outside temperature being over 100 degrees. It's definitely not a place I would recommend on a hot day.

The servers here are clueless about their menu and inattentive to diners. Training is obviously lacking. No water. No tea. Sit and wait for 20 min in a mostly empty dining area. The chicken that I ordered wasn't fresh fried. No compelling reason to return.

Longtime patron (5+ years). Have turned a blind eye to this once great establishment slowly reducing quality and protein portions, presumably to save costs. The restaurant at my visit tonight had the thermostat displaying 81 DEGREEES. The wait staff were also perspiring and/or openly sweating. Couldn't imagine what the poor chefs were going through. Hope none of it got in anyone's food.

Overall, the dim sum is pretty OK in general and it is great that they have dim sum in this area since there aren't a lot here. The chrysanthemum tea is pretty good as well as the chicken feet and siu mai and chives dumpling. I would skip the coconut pudding because it tasted a bit old. Also, the baked pork bun was not what I was really expecting since it has an all white exteriors and is a bit undercooked. Service is OK and the interior of the place is pretty large. Nothing to write home about.

Visited Han Palace in McLean Virginia and was quite disappointed. The BBQ pork was overly sweet, the crispy pork too fatty, and the meat tasted off--perhaps not boiled before frying. The black pepper beef ribs were drenched in fat. Overall, the food didn't appeal to the palate. The service was okay but it will enhance if you put on a smile and eagerness to serve. Rating 2/10

We came for dinner on 2/19/23 and were seated immediately. Our server came within 5 minutes to our table. Our order consisted of 2 dim sum items, 2 appetizers, and 2 entrees. Most of our food came to the table in 10 minutes. The baked bbq buns (3 per order) were smaller than other restaurants, but they tasted crispy on the outside that made them unique. The pineapple buns (3 per order) were small too, but didn't stand out like the bbq buns so not worth ordering. Also, they were served at the beginning of the meal and should have came out towards end as a dessert. The roast duck was moist and juicy, and the pieces provided for a quarter order were mostly meaty. The crispy roast pork was also delicious. If only other Chinese restaurants took some lessons from the chefs here! The Han style filet mignon consisted of broccoli and beef cubes. Every piece of beef was tender. The other entree was salty fish, chicken and eggplant casserole, which was large and tasty. Overall, the food here was first rate. The dining room is beautifully decorated. However, the service needs to be more attentive. After we received all our food, our server disappeared and never checked on us. We had to talk to another server to get our check and obtain take home containers. It's best to come here for dinner than for lunch when it's less crowded.

We love coming here for dim sum and it's our go to spot since it's about 5 min away from where we live. After my friend's mom started managing this restaurant I could tell overall food and service quality increased a lot compared to when they first opened. It can get very busy on the weekends so me and my husband usually go line up right before they open to ensure we are part of the first round and also when the food is the most fresh and hot! I love how they also have a full bar so you can order cocktails or beer with your dim sum. They also have Peking duck which is my favorite! Their dumplings are delicious and their deserts are so good as well! Highly recommend visiting this spot for your dim sum cravings in northern Virginia. There is plenty of parking in the garage nearby.

Delicious dim sum with good variety of items to choose from. Family friendly. Very busy when we went but the food still came out quick, hot and fresh.

Went here with girlfriends, several of whom are vegetarian. It's a really nice place and we ordered appetizers to start. They hardly had anything for vegetarians except for one soup and the spring rolls. I had the hot and sour soup and it was pretty good. They then brought us the check thinking that's all we were going to have which was really weird! We then had to ask for the menus back and waters for everyone (they had only brought tea before). We ordered the snow, peas, Buddha's delight, and vegetable lo mein. My friend and I also got the sesame chicken. All the food was pretty bland, but the sesame chicken was fairly good. We also had to ask for forks as they assume everyone will use chopsticks. Looking around, it seemed there were a lot of Chinese diners so I remarked to my friends that it must be authentic Chinese style food if Chinese folks are here. Guess we're just used to "American" Chinese food...and it definitely wasn't that! The service was fine and we stayed a long time and they didn't rush us out. But we all agreed we wouldn't be coming back.

I've been here a handful of times and have never had issues with service, but I've only ever come with one other person. I literally dream about their baked bbq pork buns, but everything else on the menu is pretty standard. I like that they offer 1/4, 1/2, or a whole roasted duck, and I like that garage parking is validated. Shrimp rice crepes were just okay. Come early (as soon as they open) if you want to even think about being sat within the first hour of opening. The ambiance is pretty busy but never loud enough that I am struggling to hear my conversation- plus I've only gone on the weekend.

I have to say, I was really disappointed with the dim sum and Peking duck at the place we tried last night. The dim sum just wasn't as fresh as I had hoped, and the Peking duck didn't quite live up to my expectations either - it lacked that crispy skin and succulent flavor I was craving. Overall, I much prefer Mark's Duck House for my Chinese cuisine fix. Their dishes always hit the spot with their fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. From their perfectly roasted duck to their delectable dim sum offerings, Mark's Duck House never fails to deliver a top-notch dining experience. So next time you're in the mood for some quality Chinese food, skip the disappointment and head over to Mark's Duck House for a meal you won't soon forget!

Maybe the closest you can get to authentic Chinese food in the Tysons area. We saw that every table was filled with Chinese people. The seafood pan fried noodles were great. The dim sum was okay, not the best I've ever had. The ambience was nice, and free parking.

Been there several times Food Good, Service awful, chaotic start at beginning of Dim Sum service.

I was actually really excited to eat here, a nice dimsum spot in the Tyson's area sounds like they have to be good. I wanted this place to be great since its so much more convenient to get to from fairfax vs falls church where our other go-tos for dimsum are. Let me preface this that I am well aware of how Chinese dim sum spots work and that there can be a *different* way they do things. However, consider that they are in Tyson/McLean where they are aiming for a diverse clientele, they need to be able serve them all with care. With that being said, I know a shrimp when I see it. At this restaurant, the dim sum is ordered by a menu so you do not get to see the actual food before it is served to you as you would with traditional dim sum carts. The menu does not have great descriptions or pictures (or prices for that matter) Conversation: Me: Does the 'Steamed Scallop Dumpling' have shrimp? Waitress: No, only scallop. Me: Ok, I'll get that. --- Shrimp shows up to table Me: that's shrimp Waitress: That's a scallop. Me: Yes, but I can't eat shrimp and I asked and was told there was no shrimp in the scallop dumpling. Waitress: There's scallop on the outside, and shrimp on the inside. Me:... okaaaaaay. I don't want that, I can't eat it, I have an allergy. Waitress: *waits and stares* everything has shrimp here. Me: I ordered other things without shrimp, so no it doesn't. Just take it off. Of course the scallop dumplings were still on the bill which we had to ask to get removed again. This condescending reaction from the staff regarding the 'Scallop Dumpling' along with *lack of cups when they brought out the flower tea. *leaving one person without water for half her meal cause they kept forgetting to bring her a glass. *pair of chopsticks things things had to be requested repeatedly before they got taken care of... As I mentioned pricing is not on the menu, but a shumai is $8 so consider that... IMO too high when compared to equal quality food at restaurants without the attitude.

Such a fun hospitable experience from start to finish. Our host was incredible and the food was just bang, bang, bang back to back to back delicious. Consistent in everything they do, great place and we'll be adding this to our rotation for sure.

Came on a Saturday, no reservation or idea what the wait would be like. For two people we were told it would be a 45 minute wait. All the parties ahead of us were more than 2 people. I spotted an opening at the bar, for 2, and asked the hostess if bae seating was first come first serve. She was somewhat confused but it all worked out. Our wait was more like 15 minutes but if I didn't ask I don't think we would've been seated so quickly if I wasn't proactive. We ordered a lot of the dim sum staples but the best is the shrimp crystal dumplings! They came out so hot and fresh. The texture was just perfect. Not picture is the beef chow fun, wet. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! I highly recommend that dish if you're unsure of what to order. We ended with the egg yolk custard buns which were good - like any other place. Overall, a really nice place and decent food. If you want amazing dim sum for a great price, I do not recommend. This place is more for the aesthetic and pretty pricey.

Great dish - Minced Pork Mushroom with Egg Tofu! My brother likes this dish a lot that I brought it back to him 3 hours away where he lives. Overall great menu for Han Palace and nice staff.

Perfect Chinese food, all dim sum are delicious. Services are nice here. It's a nice place to have a party with friends.
