Wow!! Absolutely delicious food! I don’t usually have high expectations with unlimited dimsum, so we were pleasantly surprised! The food quality was very good, and so tasty. Not watered down American dimsum, tasted like authentic Hong Kong style cooking! I highly recommend the panfried seafood noodles, roast pork buns, roast bbq pork, snow peas, and duck ? Our server Chen was super attentive, timing all our dishes right when we were ready for the next round, very amiable, and gave overall great customer service! The place is on the small side, but is very tastefully decorated. Can’t wait to go back!Kid-friendliness: They have reduced prices for kids.

DO NOT COME HERE!! Awful service… everything was fine until the end. My fiancé tried to order the plain congee as our last option before leaving & the server in the picture had trouble understanding but after MULTIPLE repeats & pointing at the freaken menu we thought she understood. She brought the wrong one & after my fiancé said it’s the wrong one the server was literally started yelling & screaming at her!! like who does that?!!! And all her colleagues were trying to calm her down & I had to tell her to calm down it’s just one item…. Never ever coming back here. No client should ever be yelled at, I hated that I paid for it. Even the family next to me, hated their service and left early. I messaged Chris Zhu the owner of this restaurant & I hope she does something about this. Never come here. They don’t treat you like a customer.

Checked in at 8:15 PM and was told it was gonna be a 30-40 mins wait. 1 hour later we followed up only to be told that that kitchen closed at 9:30 and that they couldn’t sit ut. Should’ve called us to give a heads up/said no to us in the first place ?

This restaurant offers tasty food, but it can be quite crowded due to its small size. Unfortunately, the waiting time can be quite long as well. This restaurant may not be suitable for those looking for a calm atmosphere to enjoy their meal and drinks as it's located in a fast-paced area where they expect customers to finish their meals quickly. The servers are speedy, but they may not be able to keep up with the high volume of customers.

The food here was amazing!! My sister, mom and I went for the unlimited tasting menu and let me tell you…it was the best food I’ve had in a long time. Everything came out fast and hot. There were maybe 1 or 2 things that we didn’t absolutely love but overall the experience was great! Definitely worth the wait

While me and my friends enjoyed the food and drinks. I don’t appreciate the lady with the short wavy bob watching us as we were eating and drinking. Mind you, we ordered the bottomless lemon drops and all you can eat food. And when we ordered I think our 5th drink she was like “you already had 4” ma’am?? It’s BOTTOMLESS. If I want 15 I should be able to have 15 cause I paid for bottomless. So maybe I should go to another location but I didn’t appreciate the service here.

I came in.. Nobody greeted me or seated me. Looked me dead my face & kept it moving so I say myself. After sitting down, I waited 20 mins to be greeted by the waiter. She rushed me to order then when I did, it took 10 mins to get one drink. 2 people then came in & sat beside me & she completely forgot I was there at that point. Totally ignored me for the people that came in after me. I just got up & walked out. Service is terrible!

I thought we were getting all you can eat but we were charged for al la carte and the bill ended up being considerably more than we expected. It was so loud we could barely hear our server. We were given a menu that didn’t have items priced individually. The food was fine but not nearly worth what we paid.

Service very slow , Bartender did not know how to seat customers. I waited over 45 mins to be seated while there were seats at the bar and tables available. Ridiculous !

Anthony Kane

food was good but the owner kept pushing us to order faster, eat and leave so she could sit new people, then charged automatic 20 percent tip for her horrible service. Will not go back.

This is such a quaint little spot in DC, upscale Asian dining for sure. I absolutely love the decor and ambiance. Even the restrooms are super cute!We got the all you can eat deal, and definitely did justice to that offer. The food was good, some items were excellent like the dumplings, some average, others not so much. The noodle dishes and rice dishes were quite large for a tasting, if you ate it, there was no room to try anything else. So ask for smaller portions, and try more dishes.Our waitress seemed a little annoyed that we were there for some reason, her demeanor was definitely not welcoming, and really put me off.I also didn't like that the Gratuity was added onto the check without my nowledge, and it was only a party of two, is this a new rule I haven't heard of?It was an experience to have as a one time thing.

We just left. It was hair in my cousins food. We were sat moments before I white family and the server Chen had a total disregard for us, left her a nice tip and nice note about discrimination. It ain’t worth the Tik Tok

My wife and I went to Han Palace for lunch recently because we heard about their all you can eat menu. It was extremely festive because of Chinese New Year. We looked at the price between the food we wanted and the all you can eat menu and decided it was less expensive to just order food off the original menu. We ended up having plenty of leftovers as well. I’m not such if this is the case at this restaurant but at most restaurants when you do the all you can eat menu option you’re typically not allowed to take food home. The menu between all you can eat and the original menu are different. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The main reason why my rating is what it is, is because there was no option to get general tso or orange chicken with with meat. If you haven’t tried it with white me you are missing out.

I enjoyed that they have great options for bottomless food. The space is nice but it is small. The best dishes we had were Mongolian beef, shrimp lo mein, seafood fried rice and orange chicken. We had about 4 other dishes that were okay, but could have had more flavor or been cooked better (overcooked duck). Drinks were good.
