This was my first time eating Pho and the waiters took their time to explain to me what it was. They shared different ways to make the food taste better and brought me condiments to accompany the meat, which they had recommended. With all the debates going on about tipping I think it's important to note when service is exceptional and worth much more than the standard tip. This experience was and I made a point to telling the waiters and (over)tipped accordingly.

We chose a couple of dim sum items and then ordered the rest off the menu. Cart food: shrimp dumplings were amazing, using whole shrimp in the dumpling, pork dumpling was hot and good. I was disappointed in the sesame bean balls, they were not fresh but I still ate them. The fresh cooked food was terrific. The pork, duck and half chickens were all hot and very fresh. My favorite is the red roast pork. We order a couple platters and they are always demolished. The chow fun was ok, thought the noodles were a bit too mushy. The rest of the dishes were good. Everyone enjoyed all the food. We needed many takeout containers. Service was very good. They have pitchers of water that were always refilled. We have lots of water drinkers in our group. Cleanup was always on point, dishes never stacked.

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

The staff was also fantastic, even tracking down what one of the other tables had ordered after the plates had been cleared since we thought it looked delicious (it was the lo mein and it was delicious!)

Their namesake is dumpling but their other dishes are also excellent. My go to dishes are Lili's dumpling Fried and Xinjiang pork ribs. The dumpling's filling are made fresh after you order. So the dumplings are always fresh. The Xinjiang fried pork ribs are tender and nicely fried with a umami coating. In addition, the bits are tasty on top of plain white rice. Recently, we tried the shredded pork with dry bean curd. It is a bit tangy and spicy with jalapeños pepper instead of the normal bell pepper. Might have to try the snow pea leaves when it is in season. It was so good, I went back a second time and had the exact same dishes with my son while he came back for holiday from university within a week. Their service is always attentive and they provide free tea that tasted like real brew tea along with healthy amount of rice. I am glad I rediscovered this place again.

Excellent service because she asked if it was spicy enough and I said no she came back out with the liquid spice.

She came out with water as soon as I sat down and didn't stop. When the glass was empty, she was there. The restaurant is decorated and looks great. The menu is expansive with lots of vegetarian options. I don't see anything here being bad with this level of service. Wholeheartedly recommend

We started with the classic roti canai, which was incredibly flaky, buttery, and perfect for dipping into the rich, flavorful curry.

Friday night at Hibachi Grill & Buffet in Chantilly should be busy, but this place was dead--just…read moretwo other tables when we walked in at seven. Hostess barely looked happy to see us, and if that wasn't a sign, the food sealed it. Sushi was crusty, dried out, weirdly gray - honestly, you'd expect fresher from a gas station shelf. Chef at the sushi station was glued to his phone, blasting what sounded like a personal playlist so loud you could catch the rhythm from across the buffet. Wasabi was chalky and ginger looked days old. Soy sauce? Evaporating. Buffet choices were super slim, mainly shrimp. Beef and chicken stir fry didn't look worth the plate space. Two kinds of fried wings in total, which didn't help. Another staff had their phone volume maxed out, so the noise never stopped. Salad bar was a sad scene; brown edges and limp leaves, with dressings crusted over like they'd been sitting since breakfast. Forget the dessert section and fruit; nothing looked tempting. Soup looked so neglected, you'd swear it belonged in a donation bin. Ice cream was worse; just tough lemon and a chocolate that didn't pass the smell test. Only highlight? The hibachi chef hustled to make shrimp, and eggs feel freshly cooked, even if the supplies were running dry. The green tea was decent. But with sticky walls and greasy windows, it's hard not to feel like the place quit on cleanliness a while ago. At least our server has a smile. Takeaway: Skip this spot, unless you're real desperate for hibachi shrimp and don't mind a rundown vibe. This one's for folks who think food court sushi is gourmet.
