    Peking duck, fish, veggies, clams
    Claudine L.

    Kinda expensive for what it is. I went on a saturday night and it was super empty. I was pretty surprised I thought it would be the busiest time of the day. We got a variety of things from the peking duck to fish. Smaller portions than I thought. Servers were pretty attentive. Parking is free in select spots and free 2 hour parking in the garage. I think the highlight were the steak like cubes with broccoli. Super tender but a bit sweet

    Crispy Walnut Shrimp

    Han Palace may be best known for its weekend dim sum, but for my family, it's one of our go-to spots for classic Chinese stir-fried dishes--check out the Chef's Recommendation section! While some offerings, like the crispy walnut shrimp, lean toward the Americanized side, they're still exceptionally well-executed. The Han style filet mignon is a dish we order every time: tender, flavorful, and cooked to a perfect medium. I also highly recommend the steamed cod--delicately prepared in a light broth that enhances the umami. Be sure to enjoy it with rice to soak up all the flavor. As for dim sum, the quality is solid. The chicken feet are some of the softest I've had, and the purple gold yolk buns feature a rich, slightly grainy filling that signals the use of real salted egg yolk. I like to save one for dessert--they're almost too pretty to eat. Service is friendly and efficient, though understandably brisk during peak hours. The restaurant has a clean, spacious interior with cozy booths and tasteful decor that always brings a sense of comfort and nostalgia. Just be prepared for crowds on weekends--it's popular for a reason.

    This place is worth a visit if just for the purple drink & purple dessert buns. We also enjoyed some dumplings as well as General Tso's. There are several happy hour drink options There were some communication issues as others have mentioned but nothing felt intentional or negative. We parked out front during happy hour with no issues. Our friend parked in the garage which allows for two hours. She was over by one minute and they were kind enough to validate it for her. If we are ever looking for an after work stop in Tyson's area this will certainly be a good option. Worth a visit.

    A good dim sum place when it was new but quality and service went down the hill. Now it is okay. They actually have a great interior decor. Service is slow or super rush sometimes like they want to get the next table seated

    Approx 12 noon , after I walked in. I wanted a quick lunch at the bar. The matre'd wanted to sit me at a table but I still wanted to eat at the bar 1210pm I put my order in and a different person delivers the food 1235pm Shift to when I am nearly finished and only for the first time someone asked me if everything was ok. Shouldn't someone have stopped by after I began eating to see if everything is ok? Not at the point when I was finished eating!! Only at that time did someone in the kitchen or bar ask me if everything was ok. Ooh and I had to ask for a water refill -- isn't that obvious I finished lunch and needed a refill of water and I did not need to ask. You should have been the one to suggest a refill of water... 1230om it's the small things that leave impressions on the customers..... 1236pm Ooh and I was not asked if I need anything else. I Was not even asked if I would like the check. Ooh how I would like to do a secret shopper experience here to rate the full experience at han palace ,(hint hint) P.S. I was the only one here at the bar the whole time I had lunch put my order in and had to ask for a full of water. Go figure

    Beef chow fun
    Nou Nou S.

    I was meeting with a few friends in celebration of the lunar new year and being my first time, I really enjoy the atmosphere. The dining area is on either side of the restaurant, gorgeous bar that wraps around, plenty of beautiful decor on the walls and a private room for larger parties. There were so many selections to choose from on their menu. One side has regular and specialty items and on the other side is dim sum. It appears they have two separate menus but it's actually one. They both display the same items on both menu but the white shows the prices. All of the items ordered were tapa style and delicious like char sui, steamed scallops dumplings, beef chow fun, bok choy with garlic, steamed shrimp crepes, braised eggplant, Peking duck with pancakes; pan fried turnip cakes, garlic snow pea leaf (market price). For dessert items like pineapple buns, purple gold yolk bun (salted egg yolks) were delicious but unfortunately the coconut pudding felt flat. Though It was in a shape of a white bunny, there was no coconut flavor and it had a medicinal after taste. There were multiple food runners, the host Yee and all staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Our server Maggie had multiple tables and there were times we just sat there. But on that day, there was a special guests that arrive and gave blessings to all the patrons and staff members. The restaurant is connected with the 7900 building so it has a shared restroom. There is a 2 hr limited to eat. Hours of operation are 11:30a-3p and 4p-9p; Fridays and Saturdays they closed at 10p. The parking is limited in the front but manageable and there's more parking in the garage (2 hr is free and after theres a fee). I really enjoy the quality of the items except the coconut bunny. I will definitely make another visit and try other items on their menu.

    We ordered a bunch of dim sum plates, and it was okay. I had pretty high expectations because I liked the other Han Palaces nearby. This was definitely the most fancy and upscale looking, but food was mediocre. I've had better dim sum, but I think I wanna try their other dishes that are not dim sum. Service was kinda slow, and I felt like waiters would wander around and actually help table, especially ours. It took a while to order and get the check.

    I was pleasantly surprised to find Han's much quieter than usual during our recent Sunday brunch. As always, the dim sum didn't disappoint. We especially enjoyed the scallop dumplings and, of course, the classic crab balls--both were flavorful and fresh. That said, a couple of dishes fell short this time. The chicken mushroom bun was a bit bland and served cold, and the bun itself lacked that smooth, pillowy texture I preferred . The lobster congee was just okay--nothing to rave about. Overall, still a solid dim sum spot, but a few tweaks would've made it perfect!

    It has taken me a couple of years to make it here even though there are not that many dim sum places in the area. Not sure why this place does not receive five stars from everyone. I brought my mom here for her birthday and she agrees that this place has fresh, hot dim sum dishes that come out quickly. They also have good stir-fry vegetables and congee. The restaurant is elegant but bustling with a flavor of modern Chinese decor. Our waiter was efficient and always responded to our requests right away. This place will be added to our rotation for sure.

    A lovely place for some good greasy all day dimsum ! Ordered the following: Steamed shrimp rice crepe (lovely would recommend) Deep fried taro buns (okay) Pan fried turnip cake (could find better) Baked bbq pork bun (passable) Roasted duck (very greasy ) Pork siumai(okay) Steamed scallop siumai (okay) Beijing Bellini (passable) Everything was just okay, but nothing that stood out. Most all items were heavy/greasy with no distinct flavors. Would probably come back for a craving but nothing spectacular sadly. Service was good! Ambiance was more dressy casual, perfect for gatherings/groups and families.

    I am surprised the rating is only a 3 stars for the restaurant, we were there for dinner, great authentic Cantonese food with a good amount of good (more than Peter Chang and mama Chang) ... the food was served fast and the servers were attentive as well. They let me bring a cake to celebrate my dad's birthday and was very nice about staying longer to finish our cake and such. So I would definitely give it a higher 5 stars review, the only thing is they dont tell you that 18% service fee is already charged so they expect to have you pay anohher 20%... not sure if that's very ethical but read your receipt.. otherwise great service and good...

    Sesame balls, har gow, and turnip cake - would not recommend any of these
    Crystal X.

    I love dim sum and this was not it. Honestly, I think they're only in business because of their location in Tysons. The shrimp dumplings were very mushy and the shrimp slipped right out of the wrapper. The turnip cake lacked flavor and the sesame balls were barely warm. I also wasn't impressed with the pea shoots (too fibrous) or the Singaporean-style noodles, which were really dry. Would not recommend.

My friends are Vietnamese and were saying that they were yelling about gambling money. It was pretty annoying and I could tell my friends were uncomfortable. But at the end is where it got really uncomfortable and awkward. The food and service was not good. So I tipped 15 percent. I should have tipped nothing but that's not me and I was in the service industry so i understand everyone has a day off. The, I assume manager or owner came up to the table and told me I'm required to tip 18 percent. I said where does it say that? He says on the receipt. I told him that says suggestions not required and that I could give him 0 tip. He proceeds to make a huge scene about the 2 extra bucks I need to pay. I finally cave because my friends were very very uncomfortable. As we leave my friend said the guy was a talking shit in Vietnamese to his employees about us. My recommendation is to go somewhere else. This was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had and all over 2 dollars that they didn't deserve. I see why they have a low yelp review.

The standout for me was the cumin fish. It was fried perfectly--crispy without being greasy--and the cumin added great flavor without overpowering the dish. The crispy pork ribs lived up to their name and had a nice kick of spice. The cucumber salad packed a serious garlic punch, which I really enjoyed. The Hot & Numbing Tofu Skin was something completely different from what I expected. It's sliced into long ribbons that resemble noodles or pasta. The flavor was excellent, although the texture took some getting used to. The only dish that fell a little short was the stir-fried beef tenderloin, which could have used a bit more seasoning. Everything else was delicious. The portions are enormous. At first the prices seemed a little high, but once the food arrived it made perfect sense. Every entrée was easily enough for two meals. One thing to keep in mind is that rice is ordered separately and isn't included with the entrées. Service was excellent throughout our meal. We arrived for lunch and didn't realize they close between lunch and dinner (lunch is served from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.). We ended up staying until about 2:45, and the staff never made us feel rushed even though they had technically closed. They greeted us promptly, took our drink orders, and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu without hovering. The restaurant is tucked away on the ground floor of an office building, so it's easy to drive right past if you aren't looking for it. Parking was plentiful, and the oversized booths comfortably fit all five of us without feeling cramped. If you're dining with a group and want to sample a variety of authentic dishes, Mama Chang is definitely worth the visit.

Our table was filled with fried and steamed dumplings, bao buns, General Tso's Chicken, Orange Chicken, vegetable fried rice, and several soups. The beef brisket soup was one of my favorites and the fish dish we tried was also really good. Everything came with flavorful sauces that made each dish even better. The cocktails were also a highlight. I had a refreshing lychee cocktail (I unfortunately don't remember the name) and it had the perfect balance, not watered down and actually had a good kick! They also offer a bottomless all-you-can-drink option for $18, which is a great add-on if you plan to stay and enjoy the experience.

Overall, everything was great and I think this is a really reliable spot for good dim sum!
