Visited for the first time for lunch today with my cousin. This has been on my list of places to try in Barracks Row. Had a great experience! We ordered drinks to start (lemon drop and purple lychee martinis) then ordered the sesame chicken and crispy beef. Everything was delicious! Was offered the bottomless food menu with bottomless mimosas. Will have to definitely return to try those! read more

I found out about this restaurant's all you can eat dim sum on TikTok, so ofc I had to try it out. The AYCE dim sum is available all day for $38pp (with a $10 upgrade option), as well as an all day happy hour and $18pp bottomless mimosas/lemon drop martinis/mai tais. I came on a holiday night so it was pretty hard to find street parking, but I believe there is a parking lot nearby, a couple of blocks down. The place was pretty small and it quickly became packed, but not to the point where I was touching elbows with anyone. The service for me was reasonable, as they noticed whenever we finished our food to take our next round of orders. They did seem understaffed though-- the workers were often running back to the kitchen after serving dishes. There's a large menu available with a lot more noodle/rice and congee options than I expected. There's also a lot of dim sum options but I was disappointed by the lack of some classic dim sum dishes (such as cheung fun, shu mai, and lo bak go). The dishes I tried: - Soup Dumpling: very small with thick skin and not much, if any, soup :( - Shrimp Dumpling: this was ok, the skin had like a sticky texture? that I didn't love - Pan Fried Lamb and Carrot Dumplings: the meat was like a sausage inside, a tad dry, and the flavor was not bad - Steamed Roasted Pork Buns: an average cha siu bun in terms of flavor; the bun was soft - Scallion Pancakes: super oily and crispy, not very much scallion - Stuffed Tofu with Shrimp Cake: this and the eggplant were among my favorites; the dishes are slathered with a savory sauce and there's a lot of shrimp stuffed inside/on top; the tofu is thick, which is a good vehicle for sauce - Stuffed Eggplant with Shrimp Cake: same as above, except the eggplant is soft and also crispy - Seafood Fried Rice with Dry Scallop: also one of my faves, it had shrimp, a little lobster, egg, scallion, and little bits of dried scallop. it had that familiar salty, smoky, and addicting Chinese food taste and a good amt of seafood. - Shrimp Lo Mein: this included scallion, onion, bean sprout, carrot, and shrimp. I liked the noodle that they used and there was a good amount of shrimp. - Purple Gold Yolk Bun: this was very pretty with a light purple color and streak of gold on top. the bun is soft and had a not too sweet taro flavor. the inside was a salted egg yolk custard that oozed out with each bite. definitely try this out for dessert. - Yuzu Jelly Sake: this was a canned drink that I know and love. it's supposed to be refrigerated for best results but it was served room temp with a glass of ice, so the jelly was a bit hard to drink. but I definitely recommend this drink for the taste-- it has some carbonation, soft jelly, and a sweet&tangy citrus flavor. There were dishes that I liked, but most of it *seemed* like reheated frozen dishes. Although, you can't really expect more than that from an ayce or buffet place. It was fun to try this place out as a novelty, but I think you'd be more satisfied going to a regular dim sum place where you'd spend around the same amount of money for freshly handmade food and still leave stuffed. read more

There's AYCE Dim Sum in DC? Say no more! . Our order: Shrimp Dumplings, Salted fish fried rice, Yang chow fried rice , Soup dumplings (XLB), Beef dumplings, chicken dumplings, scallion pancakes, spring rolls, wontons, abalone chicken congee, & purple gold yolk buns. I know I'm probably missing some other items. The shrimp dumplings & fried rice were so yummy and the highlight of the meal was meeting new foodies friends! read more

This would have been a 4 or 5 star rating had it not been for the poor service initially. I have been a busboy and server before so I understand that restaurants get busy. But getting yelled at for simply calling someone over to help us was inexcusable. We were seated outside in the front and could see the table in the window, which was seated at the same time as us, getting food before we even got any water. At this point he had been sitting for about 25 minutes, and when we brought it up she asked us who sat us there as if we just decided to randomly sit there on our own. Then she blamed the delay on the fact that we were sitting outside. Is that not part of the restaurant?? Had we not been so hungry, we would have left like we saw 1 couple do. The other servers for the rest of the night were friendly and helpful. I will say that the food is good. The soup dumplings, crispy pork, peking duck and 2 dessert bun options were the best dishes of the night. That being said, I will not be returning to this location unless the service improves. At one point I was mad enough to no longer visit the other locations too. read more

We enjoyed this dim sum spot. Very small dining room. Get there early if you want a table. Peking duck was done pretty well. Just a little dry, but overall very good. Dumpling variety was nice. Soup dumplings were better in round two. Har gaw and shu mai were both nice. Beef choy fun was probably my favorite. read more

Decided to check out the viral Han Palace last Wednesday as a pre-bday solo mission. I arrived around 6:30 and was immediately seated; however, the service was a bit slow after. The menu has man options and the lo mein was tasty. While they boast of $18 unlimited drinks, they cap at four. They should advertise that you get four drinks for $18. Still a great deal...with added transparency. I'd give it another try for sure! read more

Do not be mistaken by the empty tables, I took this as they were closing. I had an absolutely great time here with two friends. We tried the unlimited dim sum tasting menu and it didn't disappoint. (Although I didn't see my steam spare ribs which is my go to for domain, I won't hold it against them since the menu is large!) The menu was quite a mix of traditional dimsum items and normal meals (including Chinese BBQ like crispy roast pig). We threw done and had a bunch of different items, not all captured in the pics. The flavor was good, the service (hi Bonnie!) was amazing, and just the overal time was great. As many said the space is small, but I feel adds to the DC neighborhood charm. We sat outside so it didn't feel too crowded. This is a happy addition to their two other locations so I've been familiar with the restaurant. I would go with a small group just to really enjoy the experience, maybe 4 tops, if you want a lot of space try their woodley or even better Tyson's locations! read more

The quality of food and drinks were AMAZING! I chose to do the unlimited food option B which allows you to order entrees and dim sum. I also chose the bottomless drink option which isn't really bottomless *maximum 4 drinks* but you can try all selections ( mai tai, mimosas, and lemon drops). Han Palace would get 5 stars but the customer service was not it. My server was not friendly at all. read more

Han Palace Barracks Row - Lemon Drop - Dim Sum Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

We went on Christmas Day for the AYCE dimsum. There were 2 options: a dim sum only (38$/person) or dimsum and entree options + Chinese bbq options (48$/ person). Both options come with hot tea. We opted for the second one cause we were craving duck. For dim sum, we got shrimp dumplings, lamb & carrot dumplings, chicken abalone congee, shrimp stuffed tofu, buns, and scallion pancake Entrees: peaking duck, crispy pork belly, char shu, salt and pepper tofu, honey walnut shrimp, garlic snow pea leafs Highlights: I like the peaking duck, congee and snow pea leafs. The ambience was very cool. Big fake tree inside and adorable plate setting. I love that you're able to get a lot of variety here because of the small serving size. The purple buns were also SO good and very pretty. Disappointments: the salt and pepper tofu is a pretty simple dish and the tofu was WAYY over fried to the point of being inedible. I also think almost all of the dimsum dishes minus congee missed the mark. It takes like reheated frozen food. I would've liked to see more traditional picks as well, besides just shrimp dumpling and shumai. I asked about cheung fun (the steamed rice noodle rolls), radish cakes, and tripe but no luck. It's definitely an experience, but this wouldn't be my first pick if you're truly craving dimsum. Service was adequate and prompt as well. read more

(Review of end October 2022, midweek late lunch). We got three separate sheets of menu. There is a pre-set menu for 2 hours ( 2 options), a la cart menu, and a sheet with pictures ( still can't understand what it corresponds to). We ordered from a la cart menu: spring rolls (2 pieces/order, crispy on outside, mushy inside - not impressive, 3 out of 5), pickled spicy cucumbers (from Extras part of the menu, was perfect companion to a separately ordered crispy pork, 5 out of 5 for both, I loved crispy pork though it may not be for those who watch cholesterol and salt intake), and half an order of Peking duck ( 5 out of 5 for taste and presentation). Why did i take one star out: we have to ask for everything that is customary automatic companions in Chinese cuisine: rice, soy and hot souses, there was very little plum souse and scallions served with Peking duck ( there were plenty of wrapping pancakes but very little plum souse barely enough for two wraps, same with scallions). To be fair, everything we asked for was promptly provided but we were almost the only ones, I am wondering how they will manage with all these "asks" at a busy dinner time when all tables are full. The decor is very pretty though I would question how hygienic it is in a long run. Silk embroidered pillows are beautiful but most likely require dry cleaning, I am wondering how often these will be cleaned/ sanitized. Similarly, a handle on a beautiful teapot is wrapped in a rope that already looks greasy. Service was quite attentive ( albeit the place was almost empty when we came in around 4 pm) but the waiter could not clearly explain all these different sheets of a menu ( especially which part of the menu options the sheet with the pictures correspond to). It is not a cheap place. For 2 people sharing all dishes: 2 beers ( bottles only, there is no draft), a pot of herbal tea, one appetizer, one extra /side, and two main dishes ( crispy pork and half of Peking duck) with tax and tip came to $110. We loved the food ( no heartburn afterwards) and since it is in our neighborhood we will definitely come back. read more

I wanted to like this place. I ordered the soup dumplings and the seafood pan fried noodles. The dumplings were the most disappointing. I bit into one expecting my spoon and mouth to be filled with soup. Nothing. None of the dumplings had any liquid or soup inside. The meat was okay, but it just tasted like a regular steamed pork dumpling. Not worth $12 for the dish. In fact, it looks like they were made by a machine since the tops of the dumplings did not have the trademark dimple on top that is a sign of hand wrapping. The seafood pan fried noodles were tasty and the portion was family sized, but the shrimp, although large, were over cooked and a little rubbery. I paid a little over $40 plus tax and tip for the 2 dishes. I don't mind paying for quality, but this was not worth it. Don't think I'll be returning. read more

Love this location! been here a couple times for birthdays and for random dimsum cravings and the servers r always soo sweet. Stacey especially has been our server a few times and I definitely always have a good time:) Drinks are good and food is great! definitely recommend:) read more

Whole experience was a 9/10. The ambiance feels like you walked right into china after walking off the busy streets of DC. I ordered the general tso chicken and fried rice, 10/10. They also have an happy hour drink and food menu with bottomless food/drinks for a reasonable price. Also ordered a lemon drop which was perfect, shoutout to the bartender for giving me and my date a free round after the amazing service. Ill deff be back read more

I love Han Palace, but their service has gone downhill since I last visited a couple of months ago. I was so excited to bring my friends to eat here, and while the food was still very yummy, the service was severely lacking. Every time that we ordered, our servers forgot one or two dishes or got our orders wrong. We sat outside and we noticed that the tables around us were also equally as confused when the plates were coming out. We would order 6 plates and only 4 would come out and 1 of them would be wrong. We asked about the missing plates and our server would bring another dish that was not what we asked for. By the time that we were finishing the kitchen was closing and our server stood next to our table waiting for us to leave so she could clean. I understand trying to clean around closing time, but our issues began when we came in, which was way before closing time. read more

Han Palace Barracks Row - Vibe - Dim Sum Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Food: Amazing! I love the all you can eat (tasting) option. Between two options of either $38/pp or $48/pp, I opted in for the $48 because it includes more food options (such as entrees and the HK Style roast meats). It's definitely worth the money if you wanted to try different dishes. Service: Great! I sat at the bar but saw they were really attentive to me. I didn't need to flag them down for anything. It also didn't feel rushed so it was a nice dining experience. Ambiance: The restaurant is a bit small but has a cute feel to it. Bring a date here or just drop by with some friends (if you do the all you can eat option, bring more friends cuz everyone can order and eat family style and try all the dishes) read more

Food was disappointing. Service and ambiance were both good. Started with soup buns which came out at room temperature. Favorite item was the tofu stuffed shrimp cake and the yoke bun dessert was fun. Singapore noodle flavor was good but was missing more toppings. Avoid spring rolls and pan fried buns. read more

This Han Palace is one the places i would love to gate keep but just can't because it's THAT good. Their dimsum is amazing! and the AYCE option really allows you to try everything they have to offer! I have also gone to the other Han palace in Tyson's and although that one is good this one is just a better bang for your buck! The service was amazing and everyone was incredibly nice! The interior of the restaurant is beautiful but it is a little small! Come and enjoy good dim sum (i recommend the spicy wontons, and anything with shrimp!) read more

Pork fried dumplings: a bit smaller than most places, but more unique taste, not sure if it was from ginger or cardamom or other spice. Mongolian Beef: absolutely delicious, many layers of flavor, generous takeout portion, about 70/30 beef/veg ratio, best I've had in the DC region. Kung Pao Chicken: top quality white meat chicken, generous takeout portion, sauce is bland and not spicy at all even though requested extra spicy. Slightly higher prices, but this place has the best quality in the DC region and the takeout portions are generous, so in that regard it evens out. I would give 4.5 stars if possible per my review comments above, but happy to round-up to 5 stars because of the noticeable high quality of the meats and veggies. read more

I had such bad service at this place. I came in alone on a saturday noon for lunch. I ordered shrimp dumplings, pork congee and roasted pork bao to go. The dumplings came out super fast which leads me to think that they just have a bunch cooked before hand and just reheat when someone order (and i was right, they were hot but dry). The server basically threw the dish on the table and walked away without giving me any sauce. I waited for about 5-7 minutes until my congee came out to ask for soy sauce, and again, put on table, walk away immediately. They never came to check in on me. And then after the two tables beside me had left, they decided to switch the tables around, putting new tables in around me, connecting one to my table while I was still sitting there, eating, without any kind of explanation. That just made me feel like they were just trying to get rid of me (a table for one) for other bigger parties. When the check came, the server threw the bill on the table again, this time it hit the soy sauce bottle and made the soy sauce spilled all over the table. When I was walking out, not a single "thank you" or "goodbye" was said. I feel like I was a ghost in this tiny restaurant. I always tip 20%+ everywhere I dine in but this time is my exception and needless to say, I won't be back!! Edit: Congee was actually well seasoned, would be great with some chili oil on top, but again, they never given me some and never checked in so I can ask read more

They are only nice while you're continuing to spend money after you pay your bill (regardless if you are still eating/drinking) they want you to move on. I'd have given a better rating as the food was delicious & the ladies we were being served by were delightful during the beginning but the service declined and was very curt once they noticed you are not moving quickly enough (they prefer to turn tables over vs making you feel welcomed). My friend and I went there for a happy hr so we ordered endless Martinis (2hrs time limit), which we were trying to enjoy along with our meal. As we finished eating what we could we asked for some to-go plates but still remain to continue with our original plan of drinking (happy hr), since we ordered the endless drinks! Well we only got about two drinks each before one of the male employees approached asking us if "anything was wrong? Or if we needed anything else?" Where we just nodded "everything is ok, we are just drinking our drinks, thanks". He then stated "well we need this table, thanks, so if you all can please move on?" This just made me and my friend feel very uncomfortable and disrespected (it was the rudest thing that I have encountered by an employee for no reason on our part)! We both decided to never patronize this location again as we barely sat there an hr and didn't even get to finish our "bottomless Martini" purchase. Sadly I don't care to go back as I don't feel that they appreciate the customer just the $$. I prefer to spend my money at places that make me feel welcomed and my presence appreciated. If you go just be prepared to sit long enough to eat and leave if it's during a happy hr or busy day. read more

The unlimited dim sum was so fun and delicious! The dishes were smaller so we could try more of the menu. Be warned that you have 2 orders and they recommend ordering 4-5 dishes at a time, so come prepared for your first order! Soup Dumpling - Always a warm soupy surprise! Pan Fried Pork Dumplings - Classic and delicious Roasted Pork Steamed Bun - Loved the bun to pork ratio Chili Oil Wonton - The chili oil cause was great and I recommend using it with the other dumplings as well Lamb and Carrot Dumplings - My favorite of all the dumplings! The lamb was delicious Scallion Pancake - Thin and crispy. Loved it. Peking Duck - The skin was s crispy and delicious. This is massive so save your appetite! Mapo Tofu - Silky smooth and delicious. Crispy Pork - Dangerously delicious! I could've eaten many orders of this if I didn't have a massive menu to eat through Chow Fun - A little heavy on the bean sprouts but delicious still! Fried Rice - A bit on the larger side, but I love fried rice vs white rice. Crispy Beef - A little too crispy for my liking. Purple Gold Yolk Bun - Worth it if you still have room for dessert! Loved the color and yolk read more

I am not a healthy eater, but this is way beyond bad. Food is very badly made. Cheap, unhealthy. Scary how unhealthy. Don't poison yourself. They didn't even take time to prepare it. Wonton is like a brick of salt. I sincerely suggest avoiding this place. read more

Better clarification. It's not happy hour all day. It's a drink limit. The menu and advertisement is misleading.

The AYCE options looks nice, until you get the orders. the dining area is small, they have outside seating as well. The service is slow. The dumplings and dishes are "ok" Nothing like Hong Kong Pearl in Falls Church. I think its overprices for a lot of dumplings and carbs. The soup based bowls/dishes are also just..."OK" - been here a few times and every time it was different, the consistency is just not there. read more

Han palace is always sooo good. The all you can eat is a good deal and the portions are smaller so you can try so many things. I really didn't like the Singapore noodles and the beef dumplings.

This place has ruined, forgive me if I'm wrong with the cuisine, Chinese food for me. First, the service was prompt and polite. Our server sat us quickly, had no problem taking large orders (we did the all you can eat option) and took care of us without feeling like he was hovering. The food, oh my gosh. Every thing was excellent. The dumplings, the soups, the meats, everything! The duck was juicy while having crispy skin. The fried options head a nice crunch without being over cooked. The sauces they used were not overly sweet like too many places do it. The broth used in the soups, so savory! Eating here was such a pleasant experience. The value you get for the price? It cannot be beat. I plan on returning within a month or two! read more

It was a small and cute restaurant ! The food was good for the price, quick, and amazing portions. Service was eh... i went on a double date w a friend and two gym-rats so they eat a LOT. we ordered a lot round one and ate it all. They didn't really come back till we called them which is fine, but when we tried to order, they cut us off at four dishes. Finished that and wanted to order again but they didnt come for a while even after asking for service. We went at an odd time so there weren't too many customers either If you don't mind the service, everything else was amazing! read more

While the food was alright, the service was awful. Server kept asking if our large party wanted to move inside because she didn't want to keep leaving the air conditioned space to serve our table. Then they kept reaching in front of my face to serve my friend SEVERAL times. And there was at least one dish we never received, though server insisted we did. To top that off, she overcharged friend's card. (Friend went inside and got money back.) Too many misses in service to try it again. read more

I came here based on positive reviews. The dim sum here is not good at all. Xlb dough is too thick. Congee is very watery. Their dessert dim sum was terrible. Could not eat it. It was $38 per person for the all you can eat choice "A." I would say the standard of food here is what you can get at a frozen place and heat up at your home. Also they add mandatory 18% tip. So this was the most expensive meal we had in DC but the taste was the worst. Our meal at Rasika was cheaper than eating here. I would not come back nor recommend this place to anyone. If you had good dim sum in California or Hong Kong, skip it. Good reviews come from people who never had authentic dim sum. read more
