This is not Chinese food.
The scallion Pancake was like a thick flour tortilla chip sprinkled with a few green onions.
The noodles had zero taste.
It’s truly mall food.

Stopped by for a quick bite that ended up as a whole meal since the serving was pretty filling.
You can order from the cashier or from the self-service kiosk beside the counter. Service was fast and the food tasted great. Combo 2 (braised beef noodle soup, fried rice, coke) $15.95, Pork Chop over rice $13.95.

Low key this place is kinda slept on. A mall is not where you’d expect really good Chinese food, but I tried this place once and haven’t looked back. I got the pan-fried buns (生煎包). I give the taste a 9/10 on authenticity (which is very high for the US). I also got the fried rice. It’s okay. Could use more seasoning. It is also a little pricey, but I think overall $15 for a soda, fried rice, and 6 buns is not the worst for eating out.

This restaurant shouldn’t accept tips. I dined in and paid a tip. There are inside tables but there is no server. You have to pick up your food yourself.
If I pay a tip, I expect you to bring food to me and also clean up after I am done. But I had to clean up myself because there is no server. Moreover, there is no trash can inside.
I genuinely want to ask what tips are for. You shouldn’t accept tips if a dining in customer does all the work.
The table was dirty also. I cleaned the surf ace of the table myself.
Please don’t accept tips if there is no extra service.
That’s just not right.

Better than your standard mall food court options. This shop is on the edge of the food court and has plenty of seating inside. There is a kiosk for convenient ordering. Good price point and several combinations available.
The steamed dumplings were flavorful and served hot. I just wish they offer dumpling vinegar soy, vs packet soy.

The food was amazing. I ordered the pho combo, the dumpling fried style, chicken pho, and fried rice.
Service was absolutely amazing. I used the kiosk. The kitchen service was amazing. They accommodated everything i needed.
The associate that helped clean up the tables did an amazing job as well. Very observant with everything I need.

It was newly opened here at the Pentagon City Mall, food court level. The food here is pretty good. I had the shanghai shumai and the Rainbow Soup Dumplings. The dumplings are made in-house, which is nice to see. All the food is served to go for now.
The prices are a little expensive but you have to realize that this is at the mall and not your typical hole in the wall restaurant.

The food tastes good, but I ordered beef pho and received only a tiny, very thin piece of beef—about the size of a piece of chewing gum. Honestly, it felt a bit like a rip-off. I won’t be coming back.

It’s hard to complain about a fast food chinese place since its nice to just have options other than Panda Express, but people need to know that this place is extremely subpar even for Taiwanese/Chinese fast food dumplings. It is a disgraceful introduction to the real thing. This review is for the Beef Noodle, Steamed Pork/Shrimp dumplings, fried rice and hot sour soup. Good idea, good concept, poor execution unfortunately. P.S. I cleaned my own table to not sit down in stickiness and soy sauce, that did not add to the experience, thanks for leaving a rag and cleaner out for customers after they are asked to tip 15-25% for to-go only service.

Food was good but took forever and bad look and service. The guy making the food was watching his phone nonstop. Eating cookies and dunking them in his cup and ran his hand through his hair several times – I was really counting on the steamer to make sure my dumplings weren’t germy. The girl who was supposed to be making drinks literally had her head down on the counter -basically laying down and staring at her phone as well while people waited and eventually had to ask if they could please have their water and tea. There wasn’t anyone who looked half awake and no one was hustling. But the dumplings were tasty so…
