Ordered Soup Dumplings. Service: meh. Price of food: average Quality of food: a big let down. The soup dumplings didn't have soup in them and were dry. Not even the sauces could help me finish it. Conclusion: I wasted a trip and money. Won't be coming back soon and won't recommend. read more

District Dumplings - "Soup" dumplings (obv there's no more soup because the dumplings had holes and tears so it probably leaked) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

This is a new place in the Mosaic District. A friend was visiting in town and we wanted to try a new place. It's right around the corner from Brine which is important to note because the map takes you to the other side of the building. District dumplings came up and I'm glad I at least tried it. They have a lot of options not just the traditional pork filling (Chicken, Beef, Bulgogi, various Vegetables). The also have soup dumplings and Shumai. The employees were very welcoming and friendly. The only negative was the dumplings were a little pricey at $1 per dumpling. I would definitely suggest trying it if you have never had it. I'll probably be back again. read more

I've been going here for years. The mom and pop service is very charming, but the service can be a little slow. Granted they make your dumpling when you order so it should take a bit of time. Honestly, the dumplings are good, but not great. Out of all the dumplings I tried, the duck dumpling is the best. I usually supplement it with the other street food items, else I can never get full off of dumplings. If that was the only thing, I would have given it four stars. However, it's the most expensive dumpling place I know of. Even after about 25$+ of dumplings, I'm not even approaching getting full. Sometimes they give you a side item of noodles and oil or tea, but it's not enough! read more

Pretty good soup dumplings if you're in a pinch! I'm not an expert on xiao long bao nor am I super picky, but I will say, I've had Joe Shanghai's in NY and did not like the flavor or the greasiness of their dumpling broth... and they're pretty famous right? But here, I thought the dumplings were decently tasty, skin was chewy and with plenty of soup inside. If I happen to be in Mosaic and want a snack, I'd come again. Soup dumplings take around 15 minutes once you order. Citron tea is a nice hot drink to have these winter months too! read more

First time here, good food, inexpensive and filling. I got a mix and match of 10 dumplings. I tried five different types and grabbed a bottle of water. The dumplings were tasty and filling. The dumpling skin was thin and tasty and each order was made to order. I came in at an off hour and it was still fairly busy. From order to delivery took about ten minutes. I look forward to trying this place again in the future and if you like homemade dumplings, I highly recommend that you give it a try. read more

The dumplings are okay at best. I did not like the fact that dye or food coloring was added to some of my dumplings. I do not like to eat anything that has artificial dye, so I cut off the colored parts from my dumplings. On top of that, all they gave were little plastic packets of the most basic soy sauce. I like my dumplings with more flavorful soy sauce, chopped scallions, fresh grated ginger, white vinegar, and oily hot pepper sauce. Their ginger and date tea was good and the people working here were nice. This is a nice little spot, but could use some improvement in my opinion. read more

Just as the sign says "Dumplings" . Choices are pan fried or steamed. The order was ten minimum which is a suggested serving. You have choices and can mix or have all the same. As a first timer I selected an assortment of pan fried and they all were delicious. The jalapeño dumpling ranked as my #1. The portion was perfect (I ate them all). Going in there was plenty of seating but by the time I left the place was packed with just a few seats remaining. This is a hidden gem and I will be back! read more

I was SOOOO excited to hear that a dumpling place would be opening right under the building that I live in. The decor is very cute and I loved the chalkboard wall with the menu. I had high expectations but I thought the dumplings were average. We ordered the basil chicken (10pcs) and pork, eggplant, mushroom dumplings (8pcs). It tasted pretty plain and wasn't as flavorful as I'd expected it to be. My husband also ordered a beef sandwich, which he was disappointed with. They ran out of his first choice for bread, so he was left with baguette bread. The sandwich was plain and was also served cold. With each dumpling order, they also provide a side salad as well as a free drink. We both went with matcha iced teas. There's also a station where you create your own dumpling sauce. The staff was very friendly during our experience. Since they just opened, I'm sure they're still working out their kinks, so I'll be back again to try their other flavors of dumplings (I went with the basic ones because I wanted to play it safe). read more

The BF I had finally decided this was a dumpling weekend. After passing the establishment and looking through their menu to see if they rotate flavors. Today seemed to be a day for dumplings because the place was pretty packed. A good majority of the tables were full. So..perhaps my order was a bit complicated but if your a dumpling place you probably should be able to handle it. The cashier seems a bit puzzled when I wanted to order the special of the week...he asked me if I knew the price. It was on the board... (shouldn't you know? you work here) After telling him the price I asked him if I could get 1 of each flavor. Again confused but he was like its fine I'll handle it. So after ordering I had to wait a good 2-3 mins before I was given an order number. Finally got it and took a seat to wait for the food. We were brought out 2 cups of tea later and then the dumplings came shortly after. We were told our sandwiches were still be prepared. Order Recap.... mix and match of all their flavors. We also got the special of the week: the RJM (Rou-Jia-Muo). two savory sesame cakes stuffed with housemade meat or tofu paired with sauce and cilantro. 2 for $9.99 We got 1 Pork & Apple and 1 Spicy Beef. 8 pieces of their house made dumplings for $9.99. +pork,eggplant & mushroom +butternut squash and cheese +beef & tomato 10 pc $9.99 of their chef special dumplings. +kale & mixed vegetables +basil chicken +bulgogi beef Each order of dumplings comes with a tea and and a small salad. So the fun was figuring out which dumpling was which by filling.There really is no distinction between them ground meat in a dumpling is usually of similar texture. The only ones with real distinction were the butternut squash and kale because of the filling color. For all we know the bulgogi beef was the beef and tomato. All of the dumplings seem to lack a wow factor. They were just dumplings. Which is disappointing when you have a name like district dumpling something needs to stand on it's own. I get it handmade not every dumpling is created equal but at the same time your flavor needs to speak for itself. Pan-fried dumplings have a distinct quality that crisp lightly browned side that is signature of a panbfried dumpling. The dumpling wrapper had a little more tug causing the filling to fall out and separate from the dumpling. Sauce...okay not a huge deal customizing ones sauce is a fun interactive idea. But really? your sauce selections are all premade items soy sauce, black vinegar, sriracha, A1 sauce. I get it its more work to make your own sauces but really? There isn't even a house sauce? Recommendation of what to pair with your dumplings? Again perhaps I am expecting to much. Also...there was no small salad brought to us. I figured I didn't want to ask more of what I already had it was already confusing enough for them to get my order that If I had asked for our side salads they wouldn't have remembered anyway. The RJM... potential in a sandwich..The sesame cakes are a bit dense reminds me of a bagel thin in texture.Nicely toasted with overly dry filling. The pork looked like it would be moist but I was very wrong it was dry and overly salted there was an underlying flavor that I liked but it masked by the salt it was hard to distinguish. There wasn't enough apple to balance the salt. It needed a pickled element to it. The sauce on the sandwich was literally soy sauce. I took a bite of the BF's spicy beef again a bit dry and still lacking a pickling element or some sort of freshness to tie the sandwich together. Even cilantro couldn't save this sandwich. The idea was there but the execution was lacking. Overall district dumpling... I get it they are just opening working out some kinks. there are improvements that need to be made. Perhaps my palate is a bit particular but when I'm getting dumplings I expect a bit more from a dumpling. So fine I'm a dumpling snob... but you can't love dumplings and not be. read more

We (party of two) went here on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't busy, and we were able to get a seat (the place isn't terriblely small, but during peak hours I could see it being tough to sit down). Soup dumplings, shumai, and pan-fried dumplings were on our table. The soup dumplings were my favorite. I would pass on getting the other two again. They have sauce conveniently located in the middle of the dine-in area, and empty bowls so you can create your own flavor as strong or meek as you desire. Overall it was an alright meal. There are a ton of other food places in mosaic though, and I have yet to make my way through all of them to find the best restaurants here. read more

To be honest, after reading the very mixed reviews about this place, I really did not know what to expect. But, I was having a bad day (let's face it, a bad year!) and dumplings were the exact comfort food I wanted. In my short, VERY amateur restaurant reviewing experience, I have learned a few skills that have proved invaluable to me: among them, is arriving at off-peak hours. Enjoying "linner," as I call it. Fortunately, there was only one indecisive couple in line in front of me when I arrived for linner. Having previewed the menu ahead of time, I already knew I wanted the Buddha's Choice (I did waver a bit between pan fried and steamed, but all psychology research will tell you if you are feeling like s***, you want carbs and fat, not the healthier steamed alternative. Pan fried it is!) Also, for anyone in a rush, they obviously make each order right then (and not a la Wegmans bag as I do!) so it's about 10 min for pan fried, 15 min steamed. Don't get mad... it's called COOKING. (Its 4 min in a bowl of water in your microwave at home. Haters...) Anyway, I went to the little condiments stand and, while I read the website that recommends to try the food on its own without sauces, I also know I love sriracha so... got a little dish of the red stuff. And some other stuff. Okay, looking around, the place is clean... check! (I did not peer into the bathroom, just going to go on a leap of faith.) It was quiet (minus screaming baby, not DD's fault.) I can't say "beautifully" decorated, because nothing really caught your eye except for the ginormous chalk menu board, but nothing was tacky or gaudy. So, average? Maybe just comfortable. Yay. Then the food arrived! SUPER HOT! (Piping hot, I mean, not spicy. The day I write a review where a restaurant makes spicy food worthy of mention is the day I voluntarily smile in public.) Anyway, without sauce, they were really good! I still mixed and matched (I liked the combination of carrot filling with the sriracha/hoisin mix I made) but still, they were right: I obviously can't speak for all of the dumplings, but unlike store bought ones, these really were better without any sauce at all. Now, I'm definitely not a dumpling expert. Yes, they kinda fell apart which makes me think pre-made wrappers as opposed to using dough from scratch. But I ain't mad. I've also seen videos of people making dumplings from scratch and ermehgerd... seriously! To anyone who is going to give them crap for that, you're horrible. I just said you'd be waiting 10-15 min for dumblings... But cool, YOU can wait 10-15 hours. (or go to a 5 star Fictitious Uptown Dumplings and pay $80 for 10...) I was judging on the overall quality and taste... And they were really good. Yes, I will be back to try the steamed version, as well as some of the other flavors and teas. For linner. read more

District Dumplings - Lol oops! Should have taken a before photo... #Buddha'sChoice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I have tried District Dumplings twice. The first time, I got the 10-piece mix and match fried dumplings. The flavors sounded interesting on the menu, but there wasn't a real distinguishable difference in taste. Far from the best dumplings I have had, though they were still good. I went back yesterday to try the soup dumplings. Sadly, I can't say they were any better than "pretty good." The wrapper was thick, but tore easily. 6 out of 8 dumplings in the order were soupless because I couldn't get the dumpling to release from the steamer basket without tearing and releasing the contents into the basket. The others: the dumplings were too big for the spoon, making them difficult to eat. There wasn't much soup in them, and if it weren't for the Chinese black vinegar I added, the broth didn't have much flavor. Will I go back? I'm sure I will - but more for the convenience to satisfy a dumpling craving than as a memorable food destination. The food was all good, just not great. read more

Wasn't expecting much but was surprised, the dumplings are good. Worth a trip to Mosaic and dealing with the construction/parking/foot traffic? Questionable. But I enjoyed it. They do 10 dumplings for $10, and had 10 different types so my decision was easy - try one of all. My favorites were pork based (naturally, this is the standard for dumplings). Pork/eggplant/mushroom, shrimp/pork/chives were top. Beef/tomato and bulgogi were pretty good too. Basil chicken reminded me of pho which was nice. Least favorite were the veggie ones, but they were still good. Love the hoisin/black vinegar/sriracha to top them with, and the side noodle salad and tea were a nice surprise. I'll be back for more if I'm in the area. read more

Definitely a fun little place to go that had all tables filled even on a Monday night! I had never heard of a fusion dumpling place, so I was excited to give this place a try. First off, the soup dumplings were good, but really lacked in what the perfect soup dumpling is supposed to be: delicate, thin skinned with a bunch of soup oozing out once you bite into it. However, the batch I had didn't really have much soup in it, perhaps cause the thick skin absorbed it. The pork inside was okay. We also ordered the shumai, which is not like the traditional Shu mai you'd get at a dim sum place. The filling is a sticky rice with mushrooms and meat - what's called "oily rice" in Chinese. While I love this, just don't go in expecting dim sum shumai. The skin in the case was way too thin, and often broke and stuck to the steamer, spilling out all the content. Finally, we got an assortment of their different dumplings, from basil chicken to pork and shrimp. Overall, the skins again were too thick and the dumplings too lightly packed, so it was hard for me to actually differentiate the flavors. In general, this place has a good vibe and does well as an Asian fusion restaurant. So despite my lackluster reviews, it was still an enjoyable experience. read more

First of all, I'm not a fan of these brand new town centers that pop up underneath new condos, but this place was near work so.... Upon walking in, even during Covid, this place was super cute, but hat's all I can really say. The dumplings were super bland and were served with basic soy sauce. No specialty sauce, basic-ass soy sauce. I've had amazing dumplings, and they're usually from a mom and pop place that's a hole in the wall. I imagine if you have the start up money to open in a new town center you've put more effort in to everything else except the food. read more

I love dumplings and I'm glad I got to try this place with a friend over the weekend. It's fast casual so you order at the register and take a number. I tried a mix of the different pork, bulgogi, and chicken basil dumplings. The meat was flavorful and the skin had a good chewy texture. I also liked that they gave a jap chae appetizer. We also had an order of soup dumplings but I think it took probably a good 30 minutes to come out. I think they should give a little warning beforehand, so if you're looking for "fast"casual, you might want to order double of the normal dumplings instead. I was impressed by the presentation of the soup dumplings as the chefs did take the time to wrap them with proper folds. However, there wasn't much soup that came out of them. Nonetheless, I enjoyed them! read more

I let a year go by after my bad experience here and was pleasantly surprised. They now have additional help at the counter and have added to their menu (Peking duck and soup dumplings). It's been two visits and both worked out well. They have large order prices if you're going to be ordering a ton of food. They serve a few different beers. For a dumpling fix, I would come back. read more

This is a hidden gem in Mosaic. The restaurant is tucked in the back of the center. There's now a garage across so it's super convenient to get to. Service is a bit slow but everything is cooked to order. And it's worth it. I've been told steam takes longer so if you're in a hurry, get it pan fried. There are so many options that you wouldn't think about putting into a dumpling. But every flavor I've tried is nicely balanced. I must say, the butternut squash is pretty high on my list. The bulgogi is delicious as well. On a recent visit, I tried the Peking Duck dumplings. It was for sure interesting. Tasty but not a must try. They have a sauce bar that's pretty limited to soy sauce, vinegar and sriracha. I wish they would have some chili oil on the bar though. read more

What will bring me back is 1. to try the different dumpling varieties... there's so many to choose from! and 2. the customer service at this facility. They opened two months ago in the Mosaic District. It's not on the main strip of District Ave so it's a little hard to see, but once you find it, I highly recommend making a visit and ordering something. It's accommodated for American taste buds and everything is made from scratch. Something unique about this place is that they don't have conventional menus that the host or hostess would pass out like any typical restaurant. Everything is written on their huge chalk wall that is displayed right next to the cash register. There's three different dishes that they specialize in: 1. dumplings - 10 for 9.99 (soo many different varieties, mix and match option available) 2. shu mai (very similar to dumplings, just wrapped in a different way) - 10 for 9.99 (mix and match! between choice of vegetarian, chicken, or pork) 3. the "RBJ" sandwich (the RBJ stands for this Chinese saying...) - 2 for 9.99 (mix and match! between choice of tofu, beef, or chicken) FOOD: My friend and I ordered mix and match shu mai and the mix and match RBJ sandwich to pot luck and share. For what it is, it's very good. The sandwich could use something to make it a little less dry and for the $10 price tag it was pretty small...(it won't get you full). I was satisfied enough with the flavor nonetheless. read more

We were just walking around Mosiac one day when we happened upon this place. I've been meaning to try it out for while and when I saw they had soup dumplings, I knew we had to go in. After ordering, we sat ourselves down at one of the open tables and within a few minutes, we had water and sesame glass noodle appetizers brought over to us. The glass noodles were tasty and the little pickled carrots packed little bursts of flavor. The soup dumplings were not bad. The wrapping definitely was thicker than I'm used to, particularly on the top. Normally, I wouldn't mind if there was a lot of soup to hold in without fear of explosion, but sadly these dumplings had a paltry amount of soup. Maybe a teaspoon at most. However, the amount of meat was quite generous and the meat had very good flavor. So, good dumpling but not good soup dumplings. The inside of the store is very cute and casual. Will have to come back to try their other dumplings out! read more

If you come with a group, I'd definitely recommend splitting that (we got a couple of each type, and asked for half steamed and half fried)! The service was amazing and the speed is pretty notable for how busy they were. They even gave us complimentary clear noodles to snack on which weren't notable but still greatly appreciated. I'd say the price and casual environment definitely bring this place very high on my list of places to eat in Fairfax/Mosaic. read more

Nicely decorated spot I hoped would be my go to lunch. Really wanted to like this place but a little bit disappointed. What I liked: -Great decorations -Good music -Celery lime and ginger juice was delicious! -Dumplings were hot What could have been better: -Better sauce dishes for sriracha and vinegar, you can't really dip the dumplings into the sauces -They forgot my drink, had to go up and ask. Meh that happens What was terrible: -Service, the guy who seemed to be in charge, took our order said he'd be with us in a second. We then stood there for a ridiculous amount of time while he see to do menial tasks like stack up the table order cards. -You can see into the kitchen and it seemed that they only have 4 hot plates to cook on. This is probably why they they have a sign that says you can wait up 40 minutes for steamed dumplings, due to them having to take 15mins to cook. 40 minutes seems like a pretty ridiculous wait for dumplings. Might come back just for the juice but unfortunately nothing else to write home about. Dumplings were good but not worth the hassle read more

I would definitely come back for a quick bite while shopping, or maybe do carry out of it!

The two stars is because I commanded the restaurant introduces dumplings to main stream food scene. But the actual dumplings served here only deserve one or half star. 1. Everything served on a paper tray. No proper plates. 2. We ordered boiled dumplings and soup dumplings. They were squeezed into a small paper tray and stick to each other. So when we pick up the dumplings the wrappers broke, which lead to my next complaint. 3. We ordered curry beef dumplings. Because it was mixed and match, so there were only 5 curry beef dumplings. But they were separated in two trays. One had two, the other one has three. The tray has 3 curry beef dumplings also have vegetarian dumplings. When the dumpling wrappers broke, the curry beef sauce were all over the plates under the vegetarian dumplings. That is a big no no that mix meat dishes with vegetarian food together. Not mention that not everyone likes curry. 4. When the dumplings were served, we can't tell which was which. No labels no clear explanation. 5. The Peking duck dumplings taste greasy. The soup dumplings have no soup. The basil chicken can't taste basil. 6. The wrappings are not hand made. 7. There's only one staff in the restaurant. 8. None of the dumplings here are traditional chinese flavors if you want to know. Recommendation to the restaurant management team: 1. With the price tag, at least you can do is label the dumplings. Separate different flavors in different trays. Don't mixed them together. 2. Hire more people to help and train them well. It is common sense that you don't mix vegetarian dumpling with meat dumplings in same tray. 3. Add some appetizers and variety of dumplings sauce. Be more generous with the sauce given and use better soy sauce, not the cheap packets. 4. Spray some oil on dumplings, especially boiled ones so they don't stick to each other. 5. Use handmade wrappers. read more

A cute little dumpling shop tucked in the corner of the mosaic district. They serve a variety of flavorful dumplings and shu mai. I've been here a couple times and have never been disappointed with my food. The dumplings takes about 15 minutes to make and comes out piping hot. We ordered: Soup dumplings- beautifully pleaded! tasty dumplings, but the soup itself is a little bland. You have to be careful moving the dumplings, because they are fragile. Some dumplings are a hit or miss, but you will surely find one you will like! read more

It is nice to have a dumpling place walking distance for those living in the Mosaic District / Dunn Loring area. My wife and I have been to many places for soup dumplings so this was a nice surprise to come by while we were looking for a place to eat. The soup dumplings did take a long time to come out which is not uncommon, but was a little unusual at the time we were there because the traffic was light inside. The dumplings were 8 for ten dollars. Please note that soup dumplings are generally a little pricy regardless of where you go (especially considering that you're eating in the Mosaic District). The dumplings were very flavorful, but lacked the amount of broth that you would expect when breaking open a soup dumpling. I do agree with many others who have gone here that the meat was definitely plentiful. Surprisingly, I liked the skin of the dumplings because they did not burst easily and truly looked like they were made with love from the cooks of the restaurant. Next time I'm in the area I will give their other dumplings a chance. read more

I'm a huge dumpling girl and these dumplings were very disappointing. I will say that we got them for takeout, so that may have impacted our review and led to us not liking them as much.

Frozen Dumplings. That's about all that needs to be said here. It's so sad, I was so excited for good dumplings but when I walked in I didn't see massive towers of bamboo steamers, no towering metal steamer baskets I knew something was very wrong here. All I saw was a chest freezer and essentially a microwave. Also no dumpling sauce, Chinese vinegar, hot oil, it was just soy sauce and sriracha in packets. They didn't even have the proper spoons to even try and eat the soup dumplings. So disappointing. Save your money and buy your own frozen dumplings and eat them at home. read more
