District Dumplings

This place is the size of a small deli rather than a restaurant. I would probably call ahead if you have a big party since there isn't too much seating. That being said the food was good and the service was decent. I ordered soup dumplings and shu mai. Both were good and I would come again.

Soooo good! I get all the hype behind them and will absolutely be back. Amazing flavours and perfectly made

Light filling & light dough = delish dumplings. Also got the wonton noodle soup and pork buns - enjoyed both. Not fancy, counter service - perfect after day of strawberry picking - quick, yummy hearty food.

We got the soup dumplings, beef dumplings, chicken and lemongrass dumplings, and the wonton soup.The soup dumplings were very good, with a good amount of soup in them. The beef and chicken dumplings were nice. I especially liked the flavor of the lemongrass dumplings.But, my favorite dish ... shockingly ... was the wonton soup. It was so good! The wontons were delicate and the shrimp inside was perfectly cooked (not rubbery). The broth was light (not goopy- which I really don't like). I'll definitely go back for the soup dumplings and the wonton soup

BLUF: Clean, bright location. Light on the ambiance. Service was polite, patient, helpful. A little pricey for what you get, but if you're not starving, it will hit the spot for a light snack. Fairly quick in & out As far as dumplings go, not bad. They seemed to be made in-house & not purchased frozen which is a good thing. Yet, the flavor combinations can be hit or miss. We didn't feel there was great consistency. You may choose between fried or steamed dumplings. The steamed dumpings appeared quite a bit larger but not as tasty as the fried ones that really shrunk after being fried. When compared to most places in NoVA where I've had dumplings, these tasted pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way for these, but if in the area & a taste for dumplings, I'd go. Did they leave a mouthwatering memory? No, but they satisfied my hunger.

Love this cute dumpling shop tucked away across from Barnes & Noble in Mosaic. It's really adorable and cozy on the inside, the staff are super nice, and the dumplings are great!

The dumplings here were so yummy. I really liked the pork buns. The soup dumplings had pork and ginger inside and I would definitely recommend them. It was a small restaurant with plenty of space. The staff was very helpful with deciding what to order as well!

This is located in Mosaic District. There will be very limited storefront side parking but multiple parking garages (free) to choose from which will require you to walk a bit. There is a wide variety of dumplings and Shumai. There aren't other entrees so do not expect other Asian dishes. The pricing is very reasonable for the amount of food you get. You can choose 3 flavors for a 10piece dumpling for $13. I personally do not like this because 3 flavors for 10 pieces is a little off to me. I also do not like that it's not separated or labels so we know which one we are eating (especially if we are sharing). The good overall was good, but not great. I've had much better dumplings are other dumpling spots! Steamed Pork Buns were nice and fluffy but not that much pork. Their drinks are delicious. The mango soy milk and their lime/ginger/celery/(forgetting one of the ingredients) was VERY good. Highly recommend to try one of these or both. Service - you order at the counter and they will bring it out to your table. You leave your dishes and they will pick out up.

Genuinely surprised this place doesn't have a higher overall rating. I had a great time here. The restaurant is tucked away on a side street. With nothing else open late for food in Mosaic, I decided to take a chance - I'm so glad I did. I tried six different types of dumplings, some fried, some steamed - all distinct in flavor and delicious. The squash dumpling was a standout for me. So many restaurants, the vegetarian options fall flat, but not here. The squash had so much flavor and was perfectly steamed. The edamame dumpling was also great, as well as all the meat options I tried. The dumplings tasted as if though they were fresh and made in-house. I've had many different kinds of dumplings all over the country, and, as we know, NoVa doesn't seem to have many good dumpling options. However, this place far from disappointed. I'm already craving to go back (and probably will soon). Finally, whoever served us (maybe the business owner?) was very kind and attentive. The restaurant was very neat and clean, with very cute decorations. This place is a hidden gem for sure.

I ordered to go online and was quoted 15m. It was ready in 7! The shrimp and pork; chicken & lemongrass were delicious. I also ordered wonton soup for my father in the hospital and it was perfect! Tons of dumplings in the soup.
