Well Tasty Dumpling is their name and making fabulous dumplings is their game! My goodness these dumplings were tasty. We couldn't decide on what we wanted so we ordered kimchi, pork and cabbage, bbq, edamame, etc. 15 dumplings per order means you won't be hungry soon. Ended up with lots to share! All were delicious but we were particularly fond of the kimchi, edamame, and chicken and vegetables. Scallion pancakes were equally tasty. Service was good and friendly. Selected to pick up my food but place was nice and clean. Would definitely go back weekly if I lived in the area! read more

4.5/5.00 Took family. Ordered 3 different dishes- resulting in a mix of friend and soup dumplings. Dumpling came out fast. Service was nice, competent. We got what we came for. Portion sizes not huge- but what we had was delicious. No notes. read more

Fresh makes for a slower startup but the wait is worth the choices. They do a good job of having a nice selection for you to go into the usual steamed or fried variants. A small list of other options like the scallion pancake is worth a pickup on the side to round out any shareable. Outside in the spring and summer they have a great sitting situation with some shade and pergolas in the common shopping area. Small and independent business you should swing by for a rotation. Only small improvement would be less plastic; where they would benefit from aiming at other plates and reduction options. read more

Solid dumpling spot but not the best. Tiger dumplings is way better. I tried the sesame noodles which was a massive portion but honestly the sauce was super chalky and the noodles tasted plain! I did not like the chicken soup dumplings - the chicken had an off flavor and I was disappointed. However, the chicken lemongrass dumplings had a great flavor and were really good! My favorites was the pink beef bbq dumplings. Delicious and full of flavor. Prices are high for delivery - almost $20 per each order of dumplings! Not sure id order here again but if I did I would get the beef dumplings for sure. read more

My husband and I were HANGRY. I found this place really close by to where we were and we immediately headed over there. The parking lot is a bit of a cluster, but you'll get a spot. We walked in and checked out the menu. They have a good amount of options. We ended up getting the pan fried beef baos, the pan fried pork baos, the pork soup dumplings, and a dozen pan fried mixed dumplings (beef, pepper beef, pork either Napa cabbage, and another pork flavor). I love that you're able to fet a mixture of dumplings for the dozen for 14.95. What an absolute steal. We also got the green onion pancakes. The man cooking the dumplings was so kind. Shout out to the younger cashier who spoke both mandarin and English fluently - something my parents dream of for me and my siblings, whoops. They told us it would take about 15 minutes and was ready in that time. It took us about 20 minutes to get home and dig in. The beef pan fried baos were DELICIOUS. Our absolute favorites. I feel like everytime we order pan fried baos like these, they're never juicy or have soup in them. These did. They were flavorful and literally had so much juice/soup we had to eat them carefully. The pork baos were good, but i feel like the beef flavor was a bit better. The soup dumplings were also really good! Good amount of soup. The mixed pan fried dumplings were also delicious. I liked that they're different colors so you can tell which one is which. They also came with chili oil and soy sauce - i loved that they though of everything! The dumplings wrappers are a little thick and you can tell are homemade. I loved that, it made me feel like I was eating at home. It was comforting and delicious. We would absolutely come back. My parents and sister really enjoyed them and were surprised how flavorful they were. The pan fried beef baos were the star of the show! read more

Bro in law ordered to go and we were able to eat this at home. They were still piping hot and SOOOOO juicy. They were almost like soup dumplings. I love how many combinations of flavors they have. All are super flavorful and you do not need dipping sauce with them. However they did come with a soy sauce and a chili oil, both compliment the dumplings well. My favorite were the pan fried dumplings and the pork and lotus. read more

Tasty Dumpling - Dumplings galore - Chinese Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Now that I know about the delicious-ness that is Tasty Dumpling, I have a feeling that I'll be on a first name basis with the staff soon. I stopped by for a quick meal with a friend this past weekend and was blown away by the vast selection, affordable prices, and friendly service that we received. This no frills spot serves heaps of dumplings (approximately a dozen for $14). My friend and I split some har gow, scallion pancakes, and fried pork/shrimp/chive dumplings and were impressed with the freshness and taste of all the items received. They even gave a choice of spicy dumpling sauce to dip our little pockets of love in, and it was so good it almost made me cry of happiness. Everything came out steaming hot and was served with a smile. I'll have to come back to try their soup dumplings and pan fried bao. read more

I got a wide variety mix of the different kinds of veggie and chicken dumplings! They were also good. I think my favorite was a chicken dumplings. The sauce they have with it also was really good.! The service was really fast when I came in they had it ready as I ordered in advance. It is near my home and Conveient. It was a fast casual type of place. I like the dumplings, but I was not a big fan of the cold noodles. If I come back here, I'll be going for the dumplings, not the cold noodles.! read more

Must visit for that soup dumpling craving! I tried their chicken lemongrass and the pork soup dumplings. Both were made to order fresh and hot plus so flavorful. Out of curiosity I also got the pan fried bao buns and the honey citron tea which were wonderful. I stopped by while in the neighborhood running an errand and definitely was glad to locate this restaurant which didn't take long to receive the order. Ambiance is definitely unique to this location as you will spot hundreds of post it notes with drawings and notes from all the customers which are so much fun to look through while waiting for the order. It is nice that they encourage you to add to the collection while there. read more

No matter my hunger level, I will always make room for a dumpling or two. This was my first time checking out this restaurant. I ordered the pork soup dumplings, Kimichi dumplings and the pork Napa cabbage dumplings. The simplicity of the ingredients combined with the spicy homemade dipping sauce, was definitely something yummy in my tummy. This establishment will be on my rotation list from now on. read more

I'm not a purist--on the contrary, I believe authenticity can sometimes stifle creativity. I also hesitate to leave negative reviews for small businesses because food preference is deeply personal and subjective. That said, I personally wouldn't return to this place if I were craving soup dumplings. For me, an ideal soup dumpling should be easy to pick up without breaking, have a good balance of soup and filling, and burst with umami when eaten. Soup dumplings are special because they combine delicate, tender filling with a burst of flavorful broth. The rich soup inside enhances the umami, making the eating experience incredibly satisfying. The dumplings I was served: 1. Easy to pick up without breaking - Pass. 2. A good balance of soup and filling - Pass. Each dumpling had a good amount of broth. 3. Burst with umami when eaten - Fail. Unfortunately, I found the filling mushy and lacking in flavor, which really took away from the overall experience. 4. Dipping sauce - Fail. Instead of the traditional rice vinegar with ginger threads, the sauce was something different. I completely understand that the sharp acidity of traditional Chinese vinegar might not appeal to Western palates. However, when done right, soup dumplings have a rich, flavorful filling that needs that strong acidic contrast to balance the taste. The restaurant is clean. Dumplings are cooked to order from frozen. Staff were courteous. read more

I loved those chicken dumplings! I can't wait to go back and get more. You get 12 for $15.00 that's a good steal. They had so much flavor and they were even good once I got home and warmed them up for later. The service was amazing too. It was a lady that took my order and she got it done. So sweet!

This place was fantastic! It's situated in the middle of the shopping center with plenty of parking. I went mid-day on a Monday and ordered the 12 piece dumpling pan fried. Since I had never been before I tried one of each from the left side of the menu (see picture for descriptions) Some of the dumplings had an interesting flavor, but I liked that they had such a good variety. My favorite was the pork with lotus roots and the beef with jalapeño. The restaurant itself was clean and had plenty of seating. I'm extremely interested in returning to find out what the dessert dumpling is all about. read more

Tasty Dumpling - Sample 12 piece - Chinese Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

10 out of 10 dumplings with all flavors. In a nearby store and we wanted to grab something quick. My husband isn't big on smaller meals but I'm so glad we stopped here. We ordered the kimchi, beef, and two types of chicken. My absolute fav was mixing the kimchi with the chicken dumplings; the perfect blend! Perfectly chewy but also sauce plus we had plain, orange, and green dumpling casings to mix it up. Quick and good customer service. read more

It's always fun to share dumplings on a chilly day (or a warm one, actually.)  It's great to enjoy all these little bites of flavor.  We just happen to see Tasty Dumplings around lunch time and decided to stop in.  We ordered three different kinds from the dumpling assortment.  You could tell the different ones apart by the color of the dumpling wrapper.  We sampled the lemon grass chicken, BBQ beef and the kimchi varieties.  All were a good size, tender and tasty.  We also liked the pork soup dumpling.  We only wished they had come with a spoon, because, if you have ever had soup dumplings, you know that they are very hot inside and full of soup.  If you don't have a spoon to catch the liquid that may pour out, you can make a mess.  We ended up using the big bowls which was a little awkward.  The pan fried bao buns were good but probably our least favorite as the dough was a little thicker.  There is seating inside and a really nice seating area outside.  The restaurant is quick serve so you order at the counter and then find a table.  There is plenty of parking in the big lot out front. read more

If you know me, which you don't. I am kinda sad because first of all you don't know me and you should. Secondly just because you don't know me, you also don't know I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOVVVVEEEEEE DUMPLINGS!!! Okay I need to calm down and tell you about this place. Saw this place passing by Falls Church and wanted to try this so took a friend out here. Upon entering it is a pretty simple place. More geared towards take out but you can definitely sit there and eat. The whole place is run by a couple. If you don't know what a couple is it is 2 people who are in a romantic relationship. Yes just 2 people. The whole place is clean and I would love to come here work from here and eat dumplings all day. Okay back to the review. I ordered 4 different types of dumplings and my LORD!!! I am in love with this place. Pan Fried Shrimp Dumplings were amazing. Recommend eating them after a little wait because they were scorching hot. The crust on them was perfect. The shrimp inside was beautiful. Pan Fried Tofu Dumplings. They were really great. Similar crust to the ones above. Steamed Beef and Jalapeno Dumplings were of a different color. Loved the jalapeños flavoring mixed with beef. Steam Lemon Grass Chicken Dumplings were the best and the flavor was insane. Hands down ordering this and Basil Chicken Dumplings the next time. This place is so simple and nice and the food is great that I love it. 5/5 Show this place some love! read more

Very tasty indeed!! I always drove passed this spot and bookmarked it to come one day. Finally last night we decided to do takeout and ordered dumplings! We ordered the soup dumplings, pan fried baos, and the pork and cabbage dumplings. Everything was very delicious! My personal favorite were the soup dumplings. I love how it bursts in your mouth - the broth is very good! We ordered take out, but might decide to dine in next time. If we thought take out was good, I'm sure eating there when it's fresh is even better! It's a no frills spot, don't expect to Instagram or anything - but also means they put more effort into their food which I appreciate. Check them out! read more

What a great little dumpling shop! Food was excellent, only took about 5 minutes to be prepared, and so authentic. Just felt like I was in the kitchen of this family's home and they were cooking up their family recipe dumplings. I got the bbq beef and the lemongrass chicken this last time, and the spicy soy dipping sauce was so good! read more

Dropped in during the lunch hour. Someone was able to take our order right away and let us know that it would take about 15 minutes to prepare. The drink of Jujube Goji Berry Tea came out first. It was good but the straw wasn't very wide so sometimes the goji berry would get stuck. I know not everyone likes to eat Chinese medicine type ingredients but I was happy to use a spoon to scoop them up. Our orders of pork soup dumpling and pan fried bao came out within the promised amount of time. I was pleasantly surprised that there was even soup in the pan fried bao, was not expecting that. Looking forward to coming back to try the other types of dumplings some other time! read more

Amazing little dumpling joint with a great menu of options designed to please different palates. In addition, you have the choice of getting them steamed or fried. I tried several, but seemed to like the Lemongrass Chicken the best. And their two different dipping sauces were great complements as well ... especially the one with a little kick! Looking forward to return. read more

Took my boys for a quick lunch. Cute little place and the staff was very friendly. We tried a beef bbq dumpling, pork and shrimp Chive dumpling, chicken lemongrass and chicken teriyaki dumpling. They were all good but our favorites were the pork and beef. We had the beef pan fried and that was yummy. We got the rest steamed to try to be a little healthier. Ha! We all enjoyed the spicy sauce as well. We will be back to sit outside in the cute courtyard there once it cools down a little. read more

I have been a regular in this place for months, I love dumplings in general and this place is legit. However the last two times we have ordered here we have received burnt dumplings - first time it happened I let go, maybe they were having a bad day. The second time was what prompted me to write this review/ warning sign: please review your processes because I miss how good (and not burnt!) your dumplings used to be. For now, I guess it's time for me to look for another place serving dumplings in the area read more

Can't bc in search of shen jian baos to learn they are not pan friend SOUP dumpling but just regular pork fried baos. Nonetheless, still delicious and for it not being a soup dumpling, they were still juicy and yummy. The lady behind the counter was so nice and everything is made fresh to order. I'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu! read more

Very nice small business ambiance. The dumplings are very yummy and the taste is very nice. I would recommend this place for sure.

The lotus root dumplings were so flavorful and had a great texture!! I liked the dumpling wrapper- it was chewy and complimented the filling well.

I would highly recommend the pan fried buns and the dumplings! read more

Mamahuhu at best. This is not Ding Tai Fung, or anything like that. We got a bunch of different things; don't get the mix of different dumplings.

Tasty Dumpling - Dumplings galore! - Chinese Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

If you don't have a lot of experience with dumplings maybe this will do it for you, but this did absolutely. nothing to satisfy my dumpling cravings. I was so excited when I read the reviews and went out of my way to get here, but ended up at McDonald's (true story). It started with a Grumpy unhelpful staffer who was running the whole place alone. Included a very log wait time. They seemed to prioritize the takeout orders. And all that would have been doable if the food had been delicious but sadly it wasn't. And the food was bland and doughy. Bad dough to filling ratios, not delicate dough, and just missed the mark on flavor. If I had to rate the dishes in order of flavor even though they all came short it would be: 1 -pork soup dumpling 2 - beef pepper dumpling 3 - panfried beef bao . read more

Very calm place in the Falls Church shopping center. Came here on a lunch break with a few coworkers just because we were feeling something light. Dumplings come in orders of 12 which is the perfect amount for someone to be satisfied off of. Additionally, dumplings are made fresh and are given the choice of steamed or pan fried. Overall, just an easy dining experience. Check this place out! read more
