10 Soup Dumpling Spots in D.C. | Eater DC

"The standard protein fillings, pork and chicken, are available at Yu Noodles. Those with a penchant for spice should prepare their palate for the peppercorn spicy option. With locations in McLean, Rockville, Herndon, Silver Spring, and Fairfax, there’s plenty of spots to fulfill that double dumpling and noodle craving." - Vinciane Ngomsi

This is an amazing place! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The taste was very good, and I really like Yibin noodles. They provide less spicy options. I had a great experience here, highly recommended.

The first place I came to after eight months away from home. They’ve expanded the menu but dishes are just as authentic and delicious. Prices are still cheap and service is friendly and prompt. I love that they put a carafe of ice cold cucumber water. 🤘🏼😊🤘🏼 It’s a great place for a work lunch or dinner. A hot Chongqing soup in the winter hits the spot. Parking sucks as always.

The noodle soups are absolutely immaculate. The dumplings are good and the environment is nice. The staff and the service is excellent as well. I recommend N4 and the seaweed salad.

Loved it! The food was excellent, reasonably priced, and the hostess was so sweet. She came over to check on us multiple times and brought my brother hand sanitizer for a mosquito bite. I highly recommend the Intestine over rice + minced pork and sesame noodles. Those were my favorites! We also got the spicy noodle and spicy tripe. The rest of the family liked it, but I'm bad with spice. We'll be coming back!

Wonderful experience every time. This was our second time and we always leave happy and full 🌝. Small but cozy place with plenty of delicious options. The service is also quick and friendly, whichs makes everything even better. We started with some steamed dumplings and followed with intestine over rice and fried egg, Sichuan beef noodles soup, and flounder with sour pickled cabbage noodle soup. Everything was absolutely delicious. To finish, we tried the black rice coconut milk dessert. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes next time.

We have been eating here every week for two years. All noodles are delicious! Friends who love spicy or hate spicy can all find their favorite. We also like most of the dishes and dim sum on the second page of the menu. Try adding chicken leg and peanuts to your bowl of noodle/rice. Quick service, delicious, nice prices, 5% off if you pay in cash. Recommended!

In short… This is THAT place! Their flavor is unbelievable! When I found this place last year, I went there 3 days in a row with friends and pretty much tried more than half of the menu! For the safety of my pocket, I cut down my visit to like once every week for a while. Their prices are very reasonable though. I’ve had a lot of their dishes and they never missed. One dish I HAVE to mention is the pork buns… literally the best buns I’ve ever had so far and I try a lot of buns! Oh man i gotta mention their spicy oil wonton too! And their pineapple coconut drink which is out of this world… all of their drinks are delicious! And if you get something extra spicy…prepare to actually feel some heat!

Delicious!! My first time trying soup dumplings! They were fire!! So good! The sesame noodles with minced pork were light and refreshing with the fresh veggies...

This is a great little place! Cozy, intimate, welcoming -- and delicious! Plus, a very good deal, I must say .... Our waitress was very nice, asked if we had any questions and when we did, she answered all of them and both she and the chef were accommodating of our needs, making non-vegetarian dishes vegetarian. That's very important! I love it when places do that -- it makes life soo much easier! The N7 -- Sesame Paste (noodles!) with in our case tofu was absolutely delicious -- I am still tasting it in my mouth as I write this .... It's got garlic and ginger, and I love both! Plus edamame, shredded carrot and cucumber, mmm -- so good! It's a nice amount you can easily share. We also got the Steamed Vegetable Bun -- you get three pieces for six dollars, surely not a bad price, to say the least. It's like the 'good old days' in many ways in here, I'd say -- price-wise, service, food and perhaps also décor .... To put it differently, it has a very homey, comfortable feel. Although I only got two dishes tonight and it was my first time here, I've been ordering delivery from here for years and can attest to the high quality of the food. There are some things, though -- okay, many, if not several! -- I still need to try, including the Black Rice Coconut Milk and Ice Jelly Brown sugar -- definitely something to look forward to!

Once again, it never fails... the food is excellent! I ordered my faves, appetizer marinated duck and chive and pork fried dumpling. Got the N-11 pork chop noodles soup to go ... and S-5 sticky rice shumai. The duck is perfectly marinated and meaty. The dumplings are crispy and flavorful. The service is fast and the ambiance is very pleasant and relaxing.

My 2nd time coming to this restaurant-- and both times were delicious! I was a little nervous because I don't have the highest spice tolerance and many of the dishes on the menu are spicy. however, I was able to tell the waiter to make the dish just a little spicy and when it came out, it was exactly how I wanted it -- just a little spicy! The portions are large and everything on the menu is extremely affordable. The staff are always so nice. I'll definitely be coming back!

I got the beef noodle soup and spicy wontons. The wontons were really good and flavorful. I liked the crunchy bits (I think they were peanuts). The beef noodle soup on the other hand wasn't my favorite. It had a sour flavor to it which I wasn't expecting.

Came here for an awesome noodle experience. The restaurant is super small, probably about 20ish seats. The walls are decorated very nicely with paintings. Really nice environment to enjoy a meal. The noodles I ordered were absolutely delicious. I've never had a bad bowl of noodles here. You can probably order anything off the menu that interests you and you won't be dissapointed

Hmm there's been some recent changes to my go to orders. The pan fried dumplings used to be absolutely amazing they were fluffy and perfectly fried. Now they changed the buns to smaller size and changed to a thinner bao. The golden beef soup used to be extremely rich, thick, and full of flavor. Now the soup is thin and watery. I'm super disappointed in these changes. Please bring back the OG buns!!! The cold fungus salad still slaps.

Service is ok not fantastic, but food is consistently good. Love the soup dumplings and I always get the sweet soy milk on weekends, not that many restaurants have it in the area nowadays. My kids like the fried dumplings and the potato tower. Rice dishes are good portion. I also love the crystal shrimp dumplings, they are very meaty!

Great service. Pork bun has good flavor but the amount of filling is ridiculous! Most part of the inside is hollow. Does not justify $9.00.

This place is delicious. I need to go back with more people to try more food. The server was friendly and took the time to give great suggestions based on what we wanted to eat that day. The place is a bit cozy, so be ready so get close. Still worth going and trying some delicious food.

We really enjoyed the food here. The waitress was very pleasant (the person who delivered the food less so) and accommodating to our group's needs. We esp liked the sweet soybean milk and the pan fried chicken and mushroom dumplings so we actually got another order of each of these. I was torn between getting noodles or a rice dish but decided on the noodles after learning from the waitress that those are made in house. I got what I perceived to be a very generous amount of chicken and vegetables with the chicken leg noodle dish ($13). I could also tell the chicken was pretty freshly cooked bc though it was served in the noodle soup, the skin was still slightly crispy. I also liked that they served cucumber water. Some minor drawbacks to the eating experience is that parking inside this plaza is extremely cramped. We ended up parking at the plaza behind the restaurant where the liquor store is but unfortunately it's not connected to this plaza (otherwise probably even more people would park there!) so that took a little navigating. The restaurant itself is also fairly small and cramped. There are still high chairs and a booster for children that we saw but it's not spacious at all so this would not be easy for say, someone in a wheelchair to navigate bc there's very little space between tables. Otherwise we enjoyed our experience and I was happy to even have leftovers of my noodle soup to take home.

Free parking (limited) and accepts both cash and credit card. Very friendly staff and tons of seating options. Definitely recommend their sour cabbage flounder noodle soup, pan fried dumplings, spicy beef and tripe and spicy wontons. Noodle soups are good here too. Definitely check out this place. Worth it.

Haven't been back to Rockville in a year and this place didn't disappoint. This time got something that looked like a special with the golden soup and beef brisket. Tasted good but too little white mushroom and one of the pieces of beef brisket was so large and hard I couldn't chew through! The pork chop and noodle broth was perfect with corn. Also opted for a cold soy bean drink but understandably in the afternoon, they didn't have cold ones as they most likely sold out in the morning.

I always go to this restaurant when I am craving carbs and chili oil wontons. The restaurant is small, but their flavors are great! When I went yesterday, the service was good, the food came out quickly, and my family had a good dinner experience. We had the Sesame Paste with Minced Pork and Yu Village Cool Noodles. Both were packed with savory flavor. We especially enjoyed the flavor of the cool noodles as it was creamy, but not too heavy and overpowering. I definitely recommend that dish. The shrimp also pairs perfectly with the noodles. There was only one dish we didn't really enjoy as we didn't expect the noodles to be the thing glass noodles it had (Hot and Sour Foon). The flavor was also stronger than we expected with the five spice and Sichuan peppercorns. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and if you want a good Chinese meal with friendly service, I recommend this place.

Went to Yu Noodles last Saturday for a casual dinner. Have not been back since it first opened because honestly there are a lot of Asian food options in Rockville. It does not disappoint. We ordered pork soup dumplings, pickled golden cabbage, marinated tofu and an intestine noodle soup. Soup dumplings were tasty with very thin dumpling skin. The pickled cabbage and tofu were excellent too. They are known for their spicy noodle soups but the kitchen can adjust level of spice to suit your tolerance level. Space is small. Tables are most suitable for 2 people. Service is quick, friendly and price is reasonable. I would go back for quick casual but authentic northern Chinese cuisine.

update: my friends and I went back to Yu Noodles Cafe and ordered more of their appetizers. Their scallion pancakes and pork buns are solid. I recommend sharing a few appetizers/ small plates w friends and maybe one noodle dish. There are so many authentic and delicious options, family- style is definitely the way to go!

I wish I had found this place sooner! Since we were already on the pike, we decided to stop in as we had recently seen a great review on TikTok. We were quickly greeted and then sat at a table - the cafe is on the smaller side so I would recommend this for smaller groups. The waitress was very sweet and answered any questions that we had. This is a great spot if you are looking for quality dishes that you can't find at most other restaurants. Our favorites would have to be the chicken and mushroom dumplings, Yibin spicy noodles, and the Sichuan beef noodle soup. Will definitely be back here soon!

Visited on a weekday dinner time with a friend. Upon arrival, I couldn't find ANY parking. I subsequently spent the next 10+ minutes to see if there's a nearby / walking distance parking space. This is an area that has seen a spike in crime so it made me feel uneasy walking around. Once I entered the restaurant, I got to wait another 5-7 minutes for someone to come out from the back and have me seated. The restaurant itself is pretty small inside. It felt awkward standing by the entrance waiting because it's not far from other diner's tables. Making eye contacts with people who are eating several times made it all the more cringeworthy. After I got seated, my friend finally arrived and we attempted making an order. We ordered some scallion pancakes, spicy wontons, and dry ground pork noodle dish for myself. The wontons tasted gummy but still tasty. The noodles tasted wonderful except I wish it wasn't so mushy. The scallion pancakes were delicious but came with no sauce. Our server was wonderful. I also wish there isn't so many gnats and flies near the tables. The restaurant does not take Amex. A solid 3/5 thanks largely to the nice server and tasty noodles.

I decided to go to Yu Noodles Cafe for the traditional Christmas dinner. Well, actually, I decided to go to two other places... one was closed despite advertising Christmas hours and one told us they had a 30-45 minute wait, at which point I stumbled into Yu Noodle House, very hungry, and ready to just scream "FEED ME, SEYMORE." The cafe itself is small -- I think there's like 8 tables, total. However, it was completely not crowded, despite it being Christmas. One small family had the corner table when we came in, and shortly after they left, another family came in -- and that was it. It's a shame, because the food was delicious. Their menu is a double sided single sheet, which is a little more limited than what I'm used to at a Chinese restaurant, and maybe that's why they're not as busy? But, what limited items they had, were good. I ordered an appetizer of scallion pancakes, some pork buns, and their special lamb soup. The scallion pancakes were delicious, perfectly cooked, and ... scalliony? Whatever. They were good. The pork buns were somewhat disappointing in that they didn't come out until I'd almost finished everything else -- at which point they went into the doggy bag. I wish they'd been a little faster, or I guess the main course had been slower, but... oh well. The lamb soup, which was a special, and not a regular menu item, was amazing. I know when I've made lamb stew, it's hard not to wind up with a layer of grease on top. It's the nature of lamb. This had almost no grease on the surface. The flavour of the lamb permeated the broth, and it was incredibly intense lamb flavour. The noodles were a little soft and bland, but I don't know that they'd ever be able to pick up lamb flavour. Vegetables were perfect and a good compliment. There was like one tiny piece of grizzle. I'm actually getting hungry typing this review, and considering running out to get more lamb soup. Service was great, and the tea was very good, too. Pro Tip: They give a 5% discount for cash.

Came on a sunday night for dinner. Was slightly busy. Waiters were quick on seating and providing memus and complementary cucumber water. Got the pork bao to start which were tasty and spicy oil wonton which wasn't that spicy for someone who doesn't take heat well, however it was still good. The pork chop over rice was so so. I didn't like the batter they use to fry as much. It was also too greasy. I fid like how they cut it up so you can easily pull it apart without a mess. The dry not so dry noodles were good but too oily as well. Overall 4/5 stars. If busy it might be hard to find parking so be aware

I had bookmarked this spot a while ago because I was looking for Chinese restaurants with spicy noodles, but I had forgotten about it. We were in the area trying to go to another place that had a 30 minute wait, but I looked on Google and saw this was a 2 minute walk away so we went. I'm so glad I finally tried it! So there were a few spicy noodle dishes that I was debating getting but ended up getting the Chongqing noodles which have a spicy, rich broth, peanuts, and a fried egg on top. It's so delicious, I could have eaten multiple gigantic bowls of it. We also got seaweed salad, scallion pancakes, and the pork buns. The seaweed salad was very good, it had a lot of sesame oil for a nice nutty flavor. I loved the scallion pancakes as well, they were so crispy. Unfortunately the pork buns came toward the end of the meal so they will be eaten for lunch tomorrow but I'm sure they'll be delicious. I can't wait to try the other noodle dishes and spicy wontons!

Small Chinese eatery in Rockville that serves delicious food. Everything we got was full of flavor and freshly cooked. We got the steamed pork bun that had savory ground pork, my favorite Spicy oil wonton that has that special kick, dry Yibin noodles , washed down with hot tea and ending with delicious but not over poweringly sweet mango sago. The server was friendly and gave good suggestions. I'd definitely go back for a quick meal.

My go to in Rockville whenever I'm craving a cheap and delicious meal or just anything noodle based and am being indecisive. The spicy oil wonton (红油抄手) is a must order every time I visit, they probably have the best version of this dish in the area with the spicy oil sauce. I also highly recommend the pan fried pork bun (生煎包) but make sure to eat it as soon as it comes out to enjoy the juicy filling and crispy outside. Most of the other appetizer/snack dishes are pretty good too, but those two stand out the most to me. Coming to the key part, noodles, there probably isn't a single dish I wouldn't recommend based on what I've tried so far. The cold, hot, dry, and soup noodles are all delicious with their homemade noodles. They do have two types of noodles, normal and rice noodles, so if you prefer one or the other, definitely mention it to the wait staff. The ChongQing noodles (重庆小面), Yibin spicy dry noodle (宜宾热面), New Zealand lamb soup with rice noodles (新西兰羊肉汤粉) are probably the three noodle dishes I order the most. Although usually I don't like rice noodles much, the ones here have a really nice bite and chew to it that I love. There's always a limited menu on the wall (used to be written only in Chinese, but now also in English, based on the last time I went) which has some limited time items; these can be hit or miss but it does add a nice bit of variety. If you're looking for a quick cheap meal, the minced pork over rice with poached egg (卤肉饭) is a great choice as it's pretty delicious yet still quite filling. There's a 5% discount for cash payments, but the place does take credit card too. Parking can be difficult in front of the restaurant as there's very limited spaces. There's more parking availability in nearby areas across N Washington Street though it does require a short walk to the restaurant. The interior design of the restaurant is pretty cool with some decor mimicking a street style vibe in China. The shop is pretty small inside and doesn't seat a ton of people, but there hasn't been an instance where I've had to wait for an open spot before. If you do go with a larger group though, be prepared to stand around for a bit before there's enough space.

service 4.5/5 food 3.5/5 Came on a weekday for lunch. It's located in strip mall near the Class 520 and parking is pretty limited. Inside is quaint but small, definitely not good for large groups. There are a few tables just outside. We ordered R3 Beef over rice and N11 pork chop noodle soup. The food portion size was good for the price. But the beef was overcooked, tough and not much flavor. The pork chops could use less coil. Have to say I was not expecting these flavors. They have corn with butter and that is not something that most Chinese dishes have. Overall food was ok, a plus that the portion size is good for the price. Waitress attended us very promptly and checked on us in a good rhythm. They had a 5% off coupon when you check-in with Yelp and pay with cash. But they forgo the cash and I was able to pay with credit card and still get the 5% off. My gripe is that they only accept VISA/Mastercard, not even Discover. C'mon I can understand AMEX but you have got to accept Discover in this day and age. Conclusion: ok spot if you are super hungry and want value Chinese food, but otherwise I won't crave this spot.

FYI: $15 credit card minimum. Went for a quick lunch near the Rockville metro stop. The restaurant is small with only a few tables but a homey feeling. A lot of the guests are regulars or families. The service was amazing. I was greeted and seated as soon as I walked in. And within seconds they served me water and a menu to look at. The host was proficient in Chinese and English and very kind and helpful in explaining dishes and taking orders. I got noodles with chickpeas and minced pork, a classic Szechuang dish. It came with plenty of minced pork, bok choy, and some picked vegetables. The flavor of the broth was great, properly spicy and you can definitely taste the fragrant chili oil. Absolutely worth the $10 price tag.

We came for lunch. Hubby ordered fish with preserved veggie over rice noodles( broth was good- he said he would order it again) and I had the pork chop noodles the pork chop was delicious- tender and lightly fried. My egg noodles were superb- bouncy and al dented in a fragrant soup base. We added an order of pork and chives dumplings fried- this was very delicious! The food was very good. Next time I will take photos. The service was excellent: quick and friendly. The waitress recommended various dishes to us and explained the differences. She came back to check whether we liked our food. Ambience: very small place with maybe 10 tables. Casual.

Yu Noodles is a solid place to get Chinese food. Of course, the noodle dishes here are their signature and I've tried quite a few of them. My favorite is the Yibin Spicy Dry Noodles. I am also a fan of their Wonton soups. For apps, their Scallion Pancake never disappoints and their Glutinous Rice Shumais are also delicious. My only complaint would be that sometimes, the food can be really oily. It's not always very consistent. Service is friendly!

I've driven by this restaurant many times and finally decided to order take out and it was more than worth it! I ordered a variety of dishes to share with my husband for dinner knowing we'd have leftovers. There's just so many interesting things on the menu, it was hard to chose. So here's a breakdown of what we got: Panfried pork bun- light bun and delicious pork center. I liked the delicate flavor of this. The meat wasn't over seasoned and the bun was cooked perfectly. Gold cabbage- Wow! I loved this sweet and sour, I could have eaten the entire container as is. Scallion pancake- Generous portion, very flaky with scallions inside, delicious. Potato tower with plum flavor- This was more of a novelty order, though I was impressed by the presentation, even as takeaway it had a special little bag. I think the plum flavor is in a powder they put on the potato after frying. It was lightly favored but still tasty. Minced pork over rice with poached egg- More fried than poached, the egg was okay. The pork had a great favor and it was a small portion, but for $7 it was fine. Orient Worcestershire cool noodle with chicken- this was so good.Very generous portion of noodles. I actually would have preferred a little less noodle and more shredded carrot and cucumber. Loved this though and will get again! Mango sago- OMG! Get this! It was sooo delicious, lightly coconuty with sweet mango. I could eat this everyday. It'll be hard ordering next time because I'll want to try new items and simultaneously eat all of the same things we had this go round!

I've been here several times now. This time, everything was a little salty. The beef noodle soup, cold noodles. The dumplings are good. The service is very nice. Scallion pancake is good. So is the cucumber salad and black fungus salad.

Great Chinese food/dimsum place! My partner is vegetarian so she got the vegetable bun, we split the cucumbers in garic sauce, mango sago, and I got the Shumai. All of it was delicious, although I think I had higher expectations for the Shumai and actually prefer the vegetarian version without minced pork which they do not carry. The vegetable bun was soft and fluffy though, so I'm excited to come back for the pork buns! Also the scallion pancakes from the next table over looked so good. I'll get around to trying the noodles in this noodle shop too haha but they also serve lots of other tasty menu items.

It's a small, cute restaurant w/ affordable prices for a variety of dishes. Yibin Spicy Noodle -- not as spicy or flavorful as I thought, but I still enjoyed the dish. I used a decent amount of chili oil for some extra flavor. Pan Fried Chive and Pork Dumpling -- crispy and delicious!

I came to this place starving, and it was good. Food - Good. I had R3, or the beef with rice with a poached egg, and it was good. The potato tower was honestly underwhelming and wasn't even that good. Service - Okay Parking - Small parking lot outside Overall, this place is okay. I don't think I will come here again though.

We love love this authentic Chinese restaurant! We always get Uber eats, but finally have the chance to dine in! It's a cute little cafe that serves authentic Chongqing (southern china, famous for spicy flavors) food. We got spicy wonton, scallion pancakes, spicy beef noodle soup, pan fried buns, and mango dessert. Everything was delicious, server lady was very nice. Definitely will be back when we crave delicious spicy Chinese food.

Always crave the Yibin Spicy noodle and it's always worth getting! I would probably eat it every day if I could . The taste is really unique and it's a slight numbing spice. It also has a lot of garlic flavor with a great amount of pork. I also got the potato tower but not a lot of flavor but cute for the gimmick. The service is always wonderful. I believe the owner who had always been there when I go, is so kind and friendly and seems really passionate about the quality of food and service. Restaurant is small and the ambiance is small. Great prices! And you get 5% off if you pay with cash.

Yelpers were having such high opinion so I tried it and no idea why they reviewed so highly. Let's just face it, never have I ever had a good meal in Rockville, just drive a bit to DC for world-class culinary adventure. 1. No reservation needed. It has only 8 or so tables, so it is always packed. 2. Food: depends on what you get - oil dumplings were excellent - spicy noodles were good - chive dumplings were okay whereas - chicken cucumber noodles were not good - good looking curly potato was no good either (cheese flavor) and it is exactly that, Flavor, but not actual cheese 3. Service: horrible She was so annoyed that we asked about the level of spiciness, it has 2 pepper signs, it is reasonable to inquire especially considering the spiciness level varies greatly from place to place. She even asked how come I don't speak Chinese and asked if it was our first time or what and noticeably irritated although the whole interaction including inquiry AND ordering took barely 3 minutes. Seriously?! People who hate interaction with other people shouldn't be in service industry. 4. Ambience: packed, busy, hardly any room to move, people going in and out will constantly hit your elbow as it is a very small place. 5. If you are still concerned about covid, you will lose your mind here. 6. Parking: free parking

The noodles were very good--cooked to perfection with a delightful chewiness. We usually order to go, so cannot talk about service. However, when we dined in a year ago, the service was good and fast. Highly recommend lunch noodles (variety of them), chili oil wontons (you can't beat them, so yummy).

Our friend introduced this spot to us and was skeptical at first however we are a sucker for noodles. Yu Noodles did not disappoint, they have your typical Chinese breakfast foods and delicious noodle dishes. I'd say my favorite here is their scallion pancakes! The restaurant is a bit small with a few tables so it would be tough to bring a big group but if you're looking for tasty noodles. Look no further!

Tried the beef noodle soup and scallion pancake, both items were really good! Keep in mind, is a small restaurant so if it's busy, there might be a slight wait. Service was really good and food came out relatively fast. Would recommend if you're craving a good bowl of noodles (plus a slight discount if using cash!!!)

The noodles were very greasy. The pork and shrimp dumplings were undercooked. I felt nauseous for the rest of the day.

Came today with my parents and got the chili wonton, hot and sour foon with miced pork, Sichuan beef noodle soup and the chicken leg noodle soup. My favorite dish was definitely the wonton and would come back just for that. Everything was on the more affordable side and we only had to wait a few minutes to get a table at peak lunch time on a saturday even though its a relatively small establishment. This places serves authentic dishes and all in all delicious!

In addition to our favorite dishes, we tried a seafood noodle soup海鲜汤面. The portion was big, and the flavor was mild and plain, since it was meant to be a healthy alternative.

The wonton spicy oil appetizer is INCREDIBLE!! So much flavor in the chili oil. I could eat it everyday! The pan fried pork buns are also really flavorful and delicious. I did not try any of the noodles but the buns, dumplings and wontons are all spot on. Our food came relatively quickly and the service was great! I cannot wait to come back.
