Absolutely delicious soup dumpling! I got the rainbow platter and was blown away. I'm new to soup dumplings so by no means know how these stack up to other places, but this felt the epitome of a comfort meal. I'll be back all throughout winter!
The dumplings are very well-balanced! It tastes very nice! The customer service is very engaging and friendly so it’s very nice and direct for communicating! The atmosphere is very nice too because it’s clean and everything you need is prepared and ready! Go check it out sometime! You will have a splendid time at Dumpling District!
Home to the best soup dumplings DC has ever seen! I'm so happy I decided to give it a shot. The soup dumplings are phenomenal -- they have a genuinely impressive amount of soup inside, and their soup is also absolutely packed with flavor. The skin is quite thin and has a slight chew, which makes them a wonderful eating experience.
