    Ate at this dumpling spot in Mosaic. I didn't even realize it was there until my friend mentioned it as a place to eat lunch. You order at the register and they bring out the dumplings to you as they are cooked. Each of the dumplings we ordered were delicious. But I think the soup dumpling was the best!

    My friend has only been to Mosaic 1 other time before this visit, and I felt it was extremely necessary to have her try District Dumplings. Their decor is cute and cozy with just a few tables to enjoy your dumplings, they offer a variety of steamed or fried dumplings with a some specialty flavored ones! We decided to get the 10 pcs dumplings with -pork and chinese celery (had to get the classic, ofcourse) -beef and curry dumpling -bulgogi beef dumpling We forgot to say we wanted them steamed so ended up receiving them pan fried. No worries though because they were still 100% delicious. The bulgogi and the curry dumplings came out with different colored dots on them (to differentiate). The beef curry was my personal favorite but the bulgogi was my friend's favorite. It worked out in the end because we each got to have 1 extra of our favorite (5 dumplings each). We spent about $15 for the 10 dumplings, which in my opinion is not too bad a deal. Plus the staff is friendly; I cant wait to go back ! Writing this review right now, is making my mouth water..........

    These dumplings really hit the soul! I tried the lemongrass chicken, edamame and Peking duck dumplings. You can't go wrong with any of them but these three are my favorites! This restaurant has a real family restaurant vibe tucked into all the chains in mosaic. I love how clean it is and you can see the kitchen where they have all of the fresh ingredients. Highly recommend to anyone who's looking for quality dumplings.

    Light filling & light dough = delish dumplings. Also got the wonton noodle soup and pork buns - enjoyed both. Not fancy, counter service - perfect after day of strawberry picking - quick, yummy hearty food.

    This place is the size of a small deli rather than a restaurant. I would probably call ahead if you have a big party since there isn't too much seating. That being said the food was good and the service was decent. I ordered soup dumplings and shu mai. Both were good and I would come again.

    Pan fried dumplings. Mixed flavors.

    BLUF: Clean, bright location. Light on the ambiance. Service was polite, patient, helpful. A little pricey for what you get, but if you're not starving, it will hit the spot for a light snack. Fairly quick in & out As far as dumplings go, not bad. They seemed to be made in-house & not purchased frozen which is a good thing. Yet, the flavor combinations can be hit or miss. We didn't feel there was great consistency. You may choose between fried or steamed dumplings. The steamed dumpings appeared quite a bit larger but not as tasty as the fried ones that really shrunk after being fried. When compared to most places in NoVA where I've had dumplings, these tasted pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way for these, but if in the area & a taste for dumplings, I'd go. Did they leave a mouthwatering memory? No, but they satisfied my hunger.

    Soup Lemongrass Chicken Dumpling, soup dumplings, wonton soup, beef dumplings
    Haley B.

    We got the soup dumplings, beef dumplings, chicken and lemongrass dumplings, and the wonton soup. The soup dumplings were very good, with a good amount of soup in them. The beef and chicken dumplings were nice. I especially liked the flavor of the lemongrass dumplings. But, my favorite dish ... shockingly ... was the wonton soup. It was so good! The wontons were delicate and the shrimp inside was perfectly cooked (not rubbery). The broth was light (not goopy- which I really don't like). I'll definitely go back for the soup dumplings and the wonton soup

    Pork & shrimp dumplings and Hong Kong shumai
    Vincent M.

    I've had my eye on District Dumplings for some time and got to stop in today. Since it was just me eating lunch, I went with the standard order of pork & shrimp dumplings (10pc) and the Hong Kong shumai (8pc). My wife grabbed a drink and didn't realize for just that the total was just over $32 (admittedly that's on me for not giving the prices a better review.) The dumplings came out after a little bit and looked pretty good. I tried the shumai first. They're pretty dense and well filled. I felt like they were fairly middle-of-the-road shumai. I couldn't quite make out the shrimp in them. I think they benefitted from the included sweet soy because they had a basic flavor, not bad, but not complex. The pork and shrimp dumplings were just ok. I took a bit to see the filling and again, couldn't really see the shrimp in there. I would have easily taken them for pork & chive dumplings. The dumplings skins were tender, though the very edges on a few seemed kind of dried out/more firm. I used a little black vinegar, again, giving a little more complexity of flavor. Overall their food was fine, but personally I think the price point and quality don't totally align with each other. I could see them being less expensive or upping the quality of their items.

    Soooo good! I get all the hype behind them and will absolutely be back. Amazing flavours and perfectly made

    soup dumplings
    Lauren G.

    I tried the soup dumplings, which arrived promptly but didn't leave a lasting impression. The service was efficient but didn't stand out. The restaurant interior is neat and minimalist. It's a convenient spot for a quick grab-and-go choice, especially when shopping at Mosaic. While there are other varieties of dumplings available here, considering the abundance of nearby options, I'm not sure if I'll return.

    Pork bun, and Soup Dumplings
    Sara P.

    The dumplings here were so yummy. I really liked the pork buns. The soup dumplings had pork and ginger inside and I would definitely recommend them. It was a small restaurant with plenty of space. The staff was very helpful with deciding what to order as well!

    Hong Kong Shumai
    Amanda A.

    This is located in Mosaic District. There will be very limited storefront side parking but multiple parking garages (free) to choose from which will require you to walk a bit. There is a wide variety of dumplings and Shumai. There aren't other entrees so do not expect other Asian dishes. The pricing is very reasonable for the amount of food you get. You can choose 3 flavors for a 10piece dumpling for $13. I personally do not like this because 3 flavors for 10 pieces is a little off to me. I also do not like that it's not separated or labels so we know which one we are eating (especially if we are sharing). The good overall was good, but not great. I've had much better dumplings are other dumpling spots! Steamed Pork Buns were nice and fluffy but not that much pork. Their drinks are delicious. The mango soy milk and their lime/ginger/celery/(forgetting one of the ingredients) was VERY good. Highly recommend to try one of these or both. Service - you order at the counter and they will bring it out to your table. You leave your dishes and they will pick out up.

    Soup dumplings and an order of pan fried dumplings.
    Christina W.

    Wanted a quick snack after a few hours of shopping so came here right before they closed. It was pretty empty so it was quick to order. Got the soup dumplings which were good and then got a variety of pan fried dumplings. (3 flavors per order). 2 out of the 3 were good, I don't recall what the one we ordered that I didn't like but the chicken lemon grass and beef bulgogi were delicious! I love that they have chili oil on every table. One thing I think they can elevate is the presentation. Otherwise, a very casual place, perfect for a quick and delicious lunch, dinner or snack.

Food: there was a blend of Chinese-American, sushi and Thai. I typically do not go to restaurants that have that many Asian cuisines on their menu because it looks confusing to me. I normally choose more 'authentic' style restaurants. I want to state that so my review doesn't seem too harsh. 2 of my friends and I shared the crab rangoons, Peking duck and broccoli. Crab Rangoon was average but I did appreciate the sauce wasn't the typical sweet chili sauce. Our main had great crispy skin but the duck was dry. I was disappointed since it was $69 so I was expecting it to be a lot better. The broccoli had great taste but u was surprised that it was American broccoli and not Chinese broccoli. I understand it's Chinese American but maybe I should have read the description a little better. My friends did love it. Overall - the food was ok. The service was great.

Kiin Imm Thai has lots of pluses. First, the interior is cute and cozy with a neighborhood bistro vibe. Second, the service was excellent. We tried the Ka Prow Chicken ("basil stir fry") at level 2 spiciness and Pad See-Ew beef at level 2 spiciness. Both were delicious with a side order of brown rice. However, if we could go back in time, I think we would have ordered a Level 1 mildly spicy version of Pad See-Ew instead. Overall, the highlight of the meal was dessert (Mango and Sticky Rice), which we both devoured and is . highly recommended if you're dining in. Finally, Metro garage parking was free on weekends!

Sounds delicious? That's because it is. The tastes of soft pastries were good, good good, good good. I enjoyed my Curry Puff without the vinegar sauce myself. However, if there were an option, I would dip it into a blue cheese sauce or ranch dressing sauce. This might be looked at as sacrilege to die hard culinary enthusiasts, yet as they say, "varieties of spice of life." Veggie Spring Rolls $7.65: These three little pigs are not made if Pork incase you are confused. The are stuffed with Glass Noodles, Cabbage, Carrot, Celery, Taro and served with a Sweet & Sour Pineapple Sauce. This tasty appetizer was good, but I felt a pork option would greatly impact my taste buds. Guess I am a carnivore at heart at times. Kanom Jeeb Dumpling $8.75: Five Pieces of Minced Shrimp , Chicken, Cilantro, Corn, Garlic, Scallion wrapped in a thin Wonton Skin and steamed or deep fried to perfection?! It is also served with a Honey Soy Sauce. However, I can not remember having this on the second day. Nevermind, I went back to Kiin Imm Thai Restaurant to try this dish. Unfortunately, did not find it very good. This dish had some taste; however, this item is in the big leagues, just trying to get up that hill. It failed in my opinion. Crispy Duck Rolls: $9.95 I had forgotten what Duck tasted like. Yet , prepared in the right hands, The Crispy Duck Rolls are sensational with flavor. Donald Duck, Daffy Duck and Darkwing Duck and Daisy Duck and even Scrooge McDuck would not be amused at the thought of eating duck...on second thought, most of them would most likely join in eating poultry. Some would be appalled, disgusted, repulsed, revolted, sickened, appalled, and nauseated...yes, Its so not nice I said it twice. I find this dish to be shocking, thrilling, spectacular, stunning, magnificent fantastic dramatic, superb and FABULOUS! The seasoning of the Crispy Duck Rolls is prodigious. The Duck sauce (if that's what it was) in one word to describe it..Kafkaesque. Personally, I thought about not getting my next order of it without sauce. I quickly abolished this idea, because the Duck Rolls need the small amount of sauce that goes on it. The Crispy Duck Roll melts in your mouth so to speak. It is the best appetizers I had on the second day of coming to this restaurant. I will be ordering The Crispy Duck Rolls again. Probably this coming Monday April 27th 2026. I look forward to trying out a few more items on the menu, or at the very least, some repeats items. 4/27/26 Okay, for the second time upon entering this business, I noticed the short haired lady who sits at service table is giving me the stink eye. I have come to think of her as Jabifa since I don't remember her name. If Jabifa's problem with me is the changing of a few items on the food menu, requesting no sauce on the food or not have the food spicy, then she is in the wrong business of food service. Speaking of food, I noticed the Nom Nom Pork Strips were different this time around. They did not look like the ones I had the last two times. They looked like the The Grilled Pork Skewers, but without the Skewers with less flavor than the last two times I had them. Ohh things have changed, but hopefully this is a fluke. We will see what happens within the next two times I revisit this business. Until that time, the overall experience for this place is a four star level. If Jabifa's stink eye continues, we might be at a 3 star for ambience and service. Nevertheless, the food itself is at a five star level.
