Cuttle fish dumplings were so amazing. The flavor was an explosion in my mouth. Loved the texture of the dough and filling. There was also a ton of filling. Took two bites of these guys. Didn't love the lavender drink but when we mentioned it to the server he was quick to remove it from outr bill. My friend had had it another day and said it tasted very different this time so maybe it was just an off day.Id def go back to try more of the menu!

Ordered for takeout so I was not able to really get a vibe of the inside but from what I saw it was nice. The staff was friendly during the handoff. I loved the Xiao Long Bao, I added some chili oil to the soy sauce and it was perfect. I really liked the Spicy Wonton in Chili Sauce, it was the perfect amount of spicy. The Mamas dumplings were pretty standard but good nonetheless. Prices were fair as well, will defiantly be back!

First time here and I couldn't find parking due to being on the main road I got there after the meter stop running. Please make sure you make a reservation. Didn't make any reservations just did a walk-in and got a table on a Friday night. Oh the vibe was amazing I love the music list and the guests were amazing it's a full house. It's loud inside because the music is on blast plus the crowd were vibing. The food was delicious.... Well, one dish that we all agreed was the salt and pepper jumbo shrimp were bland bland. Soup dumplings, cucumbers salad (no pic) stir fry string beans, and Mongolian beef and house fried rice was all amazing

The service was immaculate. A great time for going out with friends for a fun night or for brunch. District kitchen really caters to the experience and the food and cocktail curation speaks to anyone who comes to dine. I really enjoyed my time

The food is pretty standard, but their drinks are quite unique! The crab rangoons are folded as triangles instead of the usual squares, which I prefer because of the filling ratio. The dandan noodles, beef noodle soup, and beef brisket stew are what you would expect. I was most excited about the XXL soup dumpling, but it was hard to eat to get the best experience. The dumpling was left with more of a thick sauce after having to sip some of the soup out with a straw.The restaurant was pretty empty on a Thursday night dinner. It was a bit difficult to get the servers' attention to get extra utensils, but they were nice! The bar restaurant vibe was great for casual dinner to catch up with friends.

This place was great! The spicy wonton was my favorite! I will def come back again. The staff was very friendly and gave us good recommendations on what to order. If you are ever in Malden and want Chinese food come to district kitchen!

Their soup dumplings were good, but not the best I've ever had. The food was served fast and their menu had a ton of options. The ambiance is nice and clean and the prices are pretty standard for the area. They validate parking for a specific garage.

The first thing I should say is the food is fire. It's real really good. And it tastes pretty authentic Chinese from what we could tell. We got the spicy beef noodle soup, xiao long bao, and and eggplant stir fry. It was all perfect. No notes. My favorite was the noodle soup--the broth was delicious, the noodles were thick and chewy, and it was nice and traditionally simple. But we were honestly shocked because the vibes of the place do not scream "authentic and delicious Chinese food." It's heavily westernized with trap music blasting, colored lights flashing, and a bar taking up one of the walls. As my bf put, it felt like eating dinner in a club. It was off putting eating with Megan Thee Stallion blasting ngl. There were also large screens playing various sports game. It was like being at a restaurant, sports bar, club, Chinese place all at once. The service wasn't too bad, but we did order beers which they forgot about (and eventually canceled). Overall, the food is great but the vibes need work.

Kind of disappointing. The service is very good but the food and drinks were mediocre. Nice selection, but unfortunately not very well prepared or flavored. We had the cuttle fish dumplings and the dough was much too thick and while the filling was serviceable, it wasn't very memorable. The salt and pepper calamari was seriously overcooked and tough. Squid has to be very quickly cooked very hot for that kind of dish and this wasn't.The decor is quite nice, but it was a bit loud. Not as crazy as some places, but conversation across a table was difficult.Overall, for the fairly expensive prices, not worth it IMHO
