Tiger Dumplings

Have been wanting to try tiger dumplings for a while now- after seeing all the rave on social media and the great reviews. I finally made reservations for Sunday brunch (had to make them 1.5 weeks+ before). Street parking or garage in the back. Pretty interior, elegant and inviting. We did the All You Can Eat brunch since it was our first time and we wanted to sample different dishes (though limitless or AYCE is rarely ever worth it for us). It's also good to note that some of the dishes that were recommended to me by a friend weren't on the AYCE but was on the a la carte (like the soup dumplings, black truffle/wagyu, and some corn dumpling thing). So you can basically order 7 things at a time, and then they will bring it out and then server will check in. This method had me a bit anxious because sometimes the food didn't come out til later and we were still working on it- and so when my server checked in- we weren't quite ready to order the next batch, but then we would have to track her down when we were ready. So, the 90 min limit went fairly fast. Sometimes, our food never came- so had to let the waitress know we were still waiting on some items (happened 3x). Food wasn't bad but I didn't leave thinking that it was amazing. Some tastier than others- I think our favorites were the spicy wontons, lemon prawns, chicken and mushroom, braised beef and tomato, and cucumbers (lol). I'd come back to try out the a la carte menu, and some of the items my friend recommended. 3.5/5 this visit, maybe the items on the a la carte might better suit me?

Review for Tiger Dumplings, Clarendon, Arlington Tiger Dumplings is a gem in Clarendon for anyone who loves Chinese dumplings. The decor is modern & stylish with just the right touch of traditional flair—perfect for a relaxed yet refined dining experience. The standout feature is their unlimited small portions of various dumpling-style dishes, each one bursting with flavor and clearly made with care. Whether steamed, pan-fried, or soup-filled, every bite is satisfying and fun to explore. The staff are warm, attentive, and happy to explain the rotating selections. A must-visit spot for dumpling lovers or anyone wanting to try something new in a welcoming setting.

Amazing AYCE lunch special and $1 mimosas!!! We ordered 34 dishes in the time we were there and each one was delicious — especially the dumplings (all of them), Dan Dan noodles, crab cream cheese ragoon. Definitely come ready to eat!

Everyone ask for Yona when you arrive!!! On top of their amazing food and outstanding cuisine. Yona made us feel right at home. We are from Maryland and this food place has been on my “must visit list” for 3 months. I am so happy we did! We ordered a little bit of everything and it was worth it — the tiger dumpling, chicken Shiitake potsticker, Hot Chili Oil Peanut Noodles, Shanghai Roasted Duck with Extra sauce, Ube cheese cake, Sesame Red Bean balls. The service is quick and everyone is super friendly. Do visit!!! Thank you to the amazing staff and chef(s). We will be back to experience the brunch menu soon.

Great experience all around! The pan fried dumplings and soup dumplings were top tier! Favorite dish was the TaiBei Fried Pork Chop Noodles! Flavors of the noodles were 10/10. Lychee drink was 👌

This is a great spot for Unlimited dumplings Buffett with bad service 🥲. The food tastes really great. We pretty much tried all the menu items and 90% of them were great. Lamb, Fish and Shrimp dumplings were our personal favorite 😋 I never had Fish or lamb dumplings, they set the bar very high. Lemon prawns and Dan Dan noodles were top-notch. Let's talk about the service now 😏 The service was very disappointing. Apparently this is a timed buffet we came to know when we are trying to order dessert,no one mentioned when we are seated or while we are placing the orders. We would have appreciated it if the waiter had let us know in the very beginning of our meal and check on us every 15 minutes to take our orders. They didn't let us order all at once when we tried to. The experience would have been better if the waiter had at least come for the last call or let us know that our time was ending in the last 10 minutes. They did a poor job while giving out the reservations which created this mess. Great Food Value for the money Bad service.

Good place to get your dumpling fix in Arlington! They did not have the unlimited drinks which was a bummer, but all their dishes were excellent.

The food at Tiger Dumplings was absolutely amazing. We shared a lot of different dumplings, rice and noodles so we can try different things. The location has been a really nice part of Arlington in the atmosphere on the inside was really cool. The only issue we had was the front of house staff was a little rude and rolled her eyes when we asked how much longer it was going to be for our wait time. I would definitely recommend trying this place and we will be back.

My husband and I have been coming weekly to Tiger Dumpling. It's what we look forward after a hectic work week. Today we visited and despite the long wait from the brunch crowd, Bujee was by far the best waitress we've had here. She is super friendly, attentive and overall just amazing. I let her know this as well. She deserves a raise as she does above and beyond even in the midst of chaos.

This was a fabulous lunch today from start to finish! The decor is really lovely! Very crowded but not really noisy or too warm inside at all- and even though it was absolutely packed on a holiday Monday for lunch, there was a waitlist online that we joined about 35 minutes in advance while picking up our daughter from the airport- it was so easy because we could see exactly where we were in line and how long was left (it's only 10 minutes from DCA). We had a lovely waitress who was very efficient and our food came out very quickly and piping hot. We ordered (3 of us): scallion pancake, pork & chive dumplings, pan fried sweet corn and pork gyoza, chicken soup dumplings, and cucumber salad. Everything was 10/10 and honestly it was the best cucumber salad we've ever tasted. I had the house made pineapple beer and it was really good! Sweeter and refreshing. We will go back every time we head back home from the airport!

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...

Tiger Dumplings offers a solid dining experience, but there are a few areas that keep it from being a must-visit spot. Upon entering, it was definitely crowded for a Saturday brunch. The decor is charming, with simple yet inviting touches that make the space feel comfortable, especially in the intimate booths. We had a party of 8 and although we had a reservation, it took 20+ minutes to be seated. The service is friendly, but it's clear that they're busy. You have 90 minutes to eat once your first order is put in. Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the dumplings. The variety is decent, offering everything from classic pork and chive to more adventurous options like lamb carrot. The fillings are fresh, but some dumplings could use a bit more seasoning to really stand out. The dough is light and soft. A few flavors felt a little bland, and we wished for bolder spices or dipping sauces other than soy sauce and chili oil to elevate them. Overall, Tiger Dumplings is a solid option if you're craving dumplings or their unlimited brunch for $36.95, which is what we wanted for our group to try a little bit of everything. It's a nice spot for a casual meal. Would I return? Sure, but with no rush. It's a satisfying option when you're in the mood for dumplings but not looking for an exceptional experience.

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.

This Asian restaurant feels a bit watered down. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff are welcoming. They enforce a 90-minute dining limit, which is more than enough time to sample popular items on the brunch menu. Now, let's dive into the food. It's a decent spot for introducing someone to Asian flavors, but the authenticity is somewhat diluted. While a few dishes stand out, most are designed for those who are curious about Asian cuisine but may not be ready for bold spices. In general, the flavors lean towards savory and salty. If I had friends eager to explore new tastes without the heat, I would definitely suggest this place.

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!

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!

Great dumpling place in DC, unique items and regular stuff my pork shumai with shrimp and the roasted duck were my favs. Service was nice, big place a must on DC

I have been to Tiger dumplings numerous times. There tends to be a wait, so if you are able to make a reservation, you may want to do that around dinner time. They have large tables that are somewhat private in the back that are great for larger parties. We were able to comfortably accommodate a party of eight at one of these tables. A few of my go to items when ordering from here are the sea salt garlic fish, the Dan Dan noodles, and the signature potstickers. The mixed drinks are really good as well. Tonight I decided to try the cod and cilantro dumplings. The fish is cooked well, however, they are very mild, I would enjoy them more if they had more flavor to them.

The Dumplings were AMAZING! I wish they made soup dumpings! Most of everything were delicious except the bread stick was too oily and the sticky rice was not flavorful and a bit watery. The Lychee and Passion fruit mimosas were delicious! The service was excellent and the place was small, cozy; and clean.

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!!

Went for dinner and highly recommend the dumplings and pot stickers! The dumplings are really authentic and delicious and potstickers are perfectly crispy. I have tried their noodles and other dishes before but those are not good at all so I can only recommend the dumplings. It is pretty pricey for dumplings but can be a good place to go if you're craving them and don't want to make them yourself! Waiters are super nice and attentive and the place is a nicely decorated restaurant.

I had to book this brunch reservation 3 weeks in advance and it was definitely worth the wait. We tried too many things to list them all (pretty much half of the menu) but some of the standouts were: - Crab Rangoon: so crispy, hot, filled proportionally, and overall very tasty - sea salt garlic fish fillet: not that crispy but the flavor was excellent -tiger signature dumpling: we liked the steamed version more than the pot sticker. This was our favorite dumpling of the 6 we tried - hot mala pork dumpling: second favorite dumpling! Mala flavor was subtle and delicious -braised pork belly: our favorite meat we tried. small portion. The meat was tender, savory, & sweet - hot chili oil peanut noodle: fantastic. Noodles cooked perfectly. Warning: large portion! This dish was the size of a normal entree whereas everything else we got was more of a tapa -coconut mini sago: our favorite dessert we tried. Light, coconutty, creamy, not too sweet Service and the speed at which food came out to the table was impressive. Sunday brunch was packed but we never waited more than 5 minutes for our food to arrive (placed order for 4-5 items at a time). Servers were attentive and empty plates were cleared quickly from the table. Highly recommend!

Ambiance: (5/5) Great seating and nice music. They had a Christmas tree at the entrance that was super festive. They also had red and green glasses out which I loved. Price: (4/5) Prices seem better than average, but when I saw the portion I realized this is about average for the area. The portions are on the smaller end. Food: (4/5) I really liked the pork soup dumplings. They were flavorful, but I wish there was more soup. I also got the Dan Dan noodles. They had a great peanut crunch. Even after adding chili oil, I felt they weren't spicy, but that's a personal preference. Service: (5/5) Great service, staff is very nice and food came out quick.

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.

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.

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!

Loved it. Fun atmosphere, attentive service and great food. The waygu dumplings were my favorite, as well as the noodles with a fried pork cutlet. The soup dumplings were our least favorite, but still very good. Make a reservation!

Takeout portions were great and overall was very satisfied with my meal. The Dan Dan noodles, dumplings, and potatoes were delicious but I'd probably skip on the spicy sour soup the next time. It was much too sour and acidic for my taste.

First and last time for a buffet brunch of dumplings. The food was okay, but the Dan Dan noodles tasted off. The portions were definitely small for a party of 4. Only 6 items could be ordered at a time, and drinks counted toward that limit. One portion came with 2 pcs dumplings, even though we were a party of 4, and we couldn't order crepes after 2:30 pm, which was disappointing. I saw service was automatically included for parties of 5 or more on the menu, but they charged us regardless of our party size of 4. It wasn't all bad; the restaurant looks nice and clean, and my server wasn't bad. But I don't think it's worth the money; we'd rather go somewhere else to spend $235 with tip included. I do not recommend this place, but you can give it a try!

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!

We Got food from here while in the area for my birthday. The tiger potstickers and pork soup dumplings were incredible just absolutely amazing food. We loved them so much. The potstickers were packed full of rich but nuanced flavor and the soup dumplings were so satisfying when the broth hit your tongue. I also enjoyed my scallion pancakes which were crispy but light. Overall great food

Man oh man was I disappointed by this place. I originally saw this on Tik Tok and I knew I had to have try it out. I actually loved the decor, the vibes, location and the menu options. But mannnnn was I disappointed by the food. We got a few options of of stuff but the only good thing we good was the Soju (that was in a can) I honestly could have went to Costco and bought some frozen dumplings and called it a day. Some of the items we good we just ok but a few were just terrible. As much as I loved the decor and vibes (which is why I can't give it a 1) I can't recommend this place.

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.

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!

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!

Made a reservation on New Year's Eve here without any issues. We were seated as we arrived. We ordered an assortment of dumplings, appetizers, and drinks. All the food/drinks were delicious! Our waiter was very attentive. The decor inside is very trendy and comfortable. Highly recommend!

The food at tiger dumplings is delicious and made with love! The ambiance is also very calm and welcoming. They have wonderful specials like happy hour drinks, brunch menu on sat and sun and dinner for 2 menus. A friend and I had about 8 items for around 95$. Will be back!

Tried the AYCE brunch. They no longer offer the $5 unlimited drinks add-on, but they offered $1 mimosa instead. Other drinks are regular price, I think. Most of the food was actually quite good. The Dan Dan noodles was (almost) full size and it was a little bit spicy but not overwhelming. It was probably my favorite out of everything we tried. The signature dumpling was also good. We tried various dumplings and they were all pretty good. The cucumber salad was also decent. I like that everything is in smaller portions (except the Dan Dan noodles) so you get to try a bit of everything. The shrimp/pork har gao was not that great. It was mushy. The siu mai was alright, but my husband said it's missing the "unique" taste. The soy milk was a bit too sweet for me. The sesame cold noodle was not bad. My husband didn't like it as much coz it was probably kept cold in the fridge, so the sesame sauce was chunky. We were quite full coz of the noodles and didn't get to try half of the menu. Definitely will go back to try the other dishes. Definitely need a reservation!

WOW!! This place was so delicious, I can't even put it into words. We tried the Tiger Signature dumplings, chicken and shiitake, Shanghai soup, spicy pork soup, and the Beijing style noodle and every single thing was to die for. Flavor profile was off the charts! To drink we had the lychee refresher and the fire tiger. Both delicious but the lychee refresher was especially delicious. And the ambiance is cool. Great for a date night! Service was 10/10 Definitely recommend.

I love this place! The food is flavorful and authentic, especially their Xiaolongbao, one of the best in Virginia. They offer a great variety of homemade dumplings, all excellent. The service is outstanding, and the inviting atmosphere creates a wonderful dining experience. Every visit has exceeded my expectations! I enjoyed their newly launched unlimited brunch, available on Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The price was very reasonable at $36.95 per person for a 90-minute limit. I tried many dishes, and everything was great. My favorites were the spicy sesame cold noodles, signature pot stickers, braised pork belly, cucumber salad, brown sugar sweet rice cake, and coconut mini sago.

Absolutely blown away by this spot in Clarendon. We were planning on the Izakaya next door but it was closed so we went to Tiger. It didn't disappoint!! A Russian girl named Anna took care of us and steered us to the MOST AMAZING truffle dumplings!! Every dish was different and unbelievable. If you are looking for an unforgettable dining experience check this place out and ask for Anna!!!! Great place with unbelievable food!!!!

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!

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

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.

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.

Got the spicy pork soup dumplings to go. Service was quick and friendly but the dumplings fell apart through the bottom. Maybe it's the ' to-go packaging ' but I ended up with pork dumpling soup in a bowl. I have tried their chilli wontons which was great so 3 stars based on this experience alone.

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.

Super good! Loved the spicy pork soup dumpling and the lamb/carrot dumpling. The dan dan noodles were very tasty, but I was disappointed that there was barely any ground pork at all in them.

I'm traveling, so I chose this place based on reviews. I liked the cafe aesthetic and the service was excellent. The food was alright-- I have no complaints but have already forgotten what we ate. I probably would not come here again since there are so many restaurants in the area with similar menus.

The food is ok but may be I did not get the dumplings so I did not get the best food experience. Friendly service at 1am and the ambience is perfectly fine for all occasions! Overall, will give it another go for food. Dan fan noodles: noodle texture is fine but not the tasty peanut sauce as I was expecting Tofu - a bit bland and a lot of peanuts

We came on a Sunday evening, which means free parking! Wait time was not long during a busy time. I love the decor and vibe of the setting of the restaurant. We ordered the Taste Set A Menu for Two, which has: - Tiger Signature Dumplings - Tiger Signature Pot Stickers - Chengdu Spicy Wonton - Chengdu Chili Oil Chicken - Sea Salt Garlic Fish Filet - Hawaiian-Style Fried Rice -Coconut Mini Sago All dishes were very good! I have nothing bad to say. This is definitely enough for two people. We did not finish it all. I highly recommend eating here! I will definitely come back.

Our waiter's Mongolian playlist was especially relaxing and set a good vibe. The place was partially full at 7:30 but emptied out to half by 8:30om (it closes at 9pm). We never felt rushed. Service was great (by LS?). Cocktails: I got the lychee refresher and my friend got the tiger yogi in white peach. It came in a can. Appetizers: To start we ordered the vegetable spring rolls; they were, super crispy on the outside and creamy inside. The scallion pancake, pancake was a generous portion they were very thin. Loved the sauce. The sea salt garlic fish filet was perfectly seasoned with salt. Obviously freshly deep fried. The 5 spices marinated beef shank; Beef was tasty but dry. It came complimented with lettuce and a little dressing and sprig cilantro. My favorite was the fish; 2nd was the spring roll. My friend liked the beef best and his 2nd was the fish. Main: Shanghai soup dumplings Chicken shiitake potstickers - clearly my favorite. Will order this again and even ordered another to go for lunch the next day. Totally yummy. Had the flavor I crave when I crave dumplings. These were my friend's 2nd favorite. Cod fish cilantro dumplings were my second favorite and my friend's favorite. Very good. Lamb carrot dumplings- very strong lamb flavor- in a good way. Pretty color too. Pork soup dumplings - good but made us want to try the chicken ones. So we ordered them and I liked them better.

Finally tried tiger dumplings after seeing it all over social media. We started with pot stickers and soup dumplings, both were great! I ordered the Beijing noodles, they were decent but I found them overly salty and probably wouldn't order again. My companions said the Pork Chop noodles and braised beef noodle soup were great! Parking near the restaurant can be dicey but we found ample free street parking a few blocks away.

This place is for American Chinese or regular in the area. It was a weekend and they only offer brunch, which was fine with us. We have 90 mins to finish it. However, there are some good and bad. The server was very nice and working hard. Parking is not too difficult if you are there before noon. Also, this place can be pack if you have more than two or four people. They do have big room, but they all full with big group of family or college girls : ) Let talk about food. I was a shock or disappointed that the spring roll only come in one (1) and cheese. If you have been Asia or Chinatown. Chinese spring roll either come in three or two. Talk about single portion for single order. The BBQ pork bao only come with one, too. The other dumplings came with three. We ordered almost 20+ items. There are few that I will recommend to try. We like the briased pork belly, braised beef tomato pastry, hot sour tofu soup, and coconut ini sago. Overall if you are craving for simple Chinese dim sum, then go with it. If you are typical Chinese or other, then you might look for somewhere else. Overall service is ok and the interior decor was cool. They got the biggest restroom in the area...lol

I've heard lots of good things about this place and its prime location near the Clarendon metro station made it easy to access. Seating wise there was adequate seating both inside and outside. Now for the food: I got the scallion pancakes and veggie lover dumplings. As a vegetarian I was pretty surprised at how many veggie options there were. The scallion pancakes albeit a bit oily, were full of flavor and tasted great when paired with the soy sauce and chili oil. The veggie lover dumplings came in a good portion (pictured) and they were good but nothing special. The service was incredibly fast and the staff was really nice! I would definitely come back to try some of the other vegetarian options.

Tiger Dumplings is a must-visit! The service is impressively fast, and the menu offers a fantastic variety. Whether you're in the mood for something meaty or vegetarian, there's plenty to choose from, making it perfect for sharing plates with friends. The dumplings are the real highlight here--absolutely delicious and expertly crafted. Don't miss the soup dumplings; they're a standout! The vegetable dishes are equally tasty, adding to the overall experience. The vibe is fun and lively, and the service is attentive without being intrusive. Plus, the sauces served with the dishes are a great complement to the flavors.

Delicious meal! I've been seeing this place and finally got a chance to check them out. They seem pretty busy! But the food comes out pretty quick. There were three of us and we shared a bunch of things : scallion pancake, cucumber salad, lamb dumplings, black truffle dumplings, tiger dumplings, Shanghai soup dumplings, and fried rice. Everything was delicious but what really stood out were the soup dumplings and the black truffle dumpling... yum!!! The combo fried rice was very underwhelming, needs more flavor. Don't skip dessert - those custard balls are sooo good! We wanted more. Check them out! I'll definitely be back!
