Dumpling District — Restaurant in Tysons

Everything was just okay. No one picked up the phone when I tried to call in my order and the website for online ordering was missing pan-fried beef baos so I went to order in person. Turns out they ran out during the soft opening day.

I ended up ordering the pork soup dumplings, pan-fried pork baos, and the rainbow soup dumplings, totaling $57 for 18 dumplings. For ~$3 per bite-sized dumpling you’d expect them to be really tasty right? Unfortunately, the steamed dumplings didn't have much distinction in flavor from each other and the fillings tasted artificial. I think the best of the bunch was the black colored truffle pork dumpling. Overall, these dumplings weren't any better than the factory mass-produced ones you could pickup at an Asian grocery store. I was disappointed with the overpriced mediocrity and wouldn’t go out of my way to find this...

Their xlb are good. I didnt expect the mala one espcecially to be so good but its actually so good? Truffle ofc was really tasty, and chicken was really good too! To add credibility to my taste, im asian and i go to flushing, ny to eat xlb at those little chinese food stalls that dont even show...

I tried the ramen and it was fantastic. The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were springy, and the toppings were generous. There’s also a bakery in the same space, and more restaurants are opening soon(probably) , so it’s definitely...
