Han Palace: Authentic Cantonese Dim Sum in Washington, DC

The first time I had the soup dumplings, they were wonderful. The best I’ve ever had. Such perfect ratio of thin dough to soup to meat ratio. I’ve come here 2 more times after to order them, but each time I was disappointed. Almost no soup. Crispy eggplant was wayyyyyy too crispy & was mostly batter. Pork & bean curd rolls were made perfectly! We got the soup dumplings (~$12), braised pork (~$16), bean curd with oyster sauce (~$5.5), and crispy eggplant. They also have outdoor seating.

I came from the zoo and wanted to sit down for some lunch. We got the Peking Duck and we’re not disappointed. Order a hot tea, the tea service is beautiful. We tried Beef and Vegetable Dumplings, they were juicy and rich, and earned a high recommendation. We were delighted we chose Han Palace it is beautiful and welcoming with superb service.

Uber eats order. Pleasantly surprised. BBQ duck was flavorful and authentic. Missing a lot of breast meat so wouldn't consider it a half order. Hor fun was great, lots of beef. Got dumplings promo but those were so so.

Came here for lunch with my boyfriend and it was delicious! We ordered the chicken and pork dumplings, soup dumplings, and scallion pancakes. We really liked everything, but the soup dumplings had hardly any broth (the flavor was amazing though). Even so, my boyfriend said it was some of the best Chinese food he has had! Also: very reasonable prices and I love the interior design! I will certainly be back to try more menu items

So welcoming and great service delighted us with really great food at reasonable prices. Each dish was carefully prepared, served hot, and so tasty! An example of attentive service: I was struggling trying handle the scallion pancake with my chopsticks. Without my asking, the waitress showed up with knives and forks for each of us at the table. The photos show orange chicken, Chinese broccoli, Mongolian fried beef, egg rolls (vegetarian), scallion pancakes, shrimp dim sum, crab dim sum. Another great thing about this restaurant is that it is just a few doors up the street from ROSE AVENUE BAKERY. Leave some room after your meal at Han Palace to top things off with a goodie from Rose Avenue.

Absolutely delicious. Party of three and had no wait time in the early afternoon of a breezy Sunday in February. The place was certainly packed, and there was a larger party waiting to be sat— so maybe we got a bit lucky. Our group shared an order of Soup Dumpling, Singapore Noodles, and Orange Chicken. It was the perfect portions for the three of us, and we finished off with some green tea. The workers were very friendly, and didn’t feel like they rushed us too much— checking in every so often to see how our food and experience was. Definitely recommend. And right down the street from the Smithsonian Zoo

Came here with a Chinese friend who said this was an authentic place for Chinese food. They had Chicken Feet, pork baos, a pork gravy. I had a Cucumber appetizer, a tofu gravy which was served with rice. A dessert which was tapioca in sweetened coconut milk. We also had flower tea. The food was so so good. Service was reasonably quick. Price is justified. Definitely recommend the place.

Group of friends met here for an enjoyable Sunday brunch. We each ordered three dim sum and all had enough to eat. We had fun trying a variety that would have been impossible for a single diner, and most options were tasty enough.
