We went for dim sum on a Sunday and were enthusiastically greeted by the host/owner who led us to a cozy booth in a gorgeous, clean dining room. Dim sum was warm and tasted fresh. Siu mai was a highlight and tasted excellent – juicy with a nice porky, mushroomy flavor. Other great dishes were the spare ribs, fried shrimp & crab balls, shrimp spring rolls, and more. Definitely arrive close to opening time (10:30am on Sunday) because it filled up fast. Cart dim sum is available on weekends, the rest of the week (Wed-Fri, closed Mon-Tues according to a sign on the door), no cart service but you can still order dim sum.

After work this evening my colleague brought me to this hidden gem that may be seemingly unassuming from outside, but as soon as I walked in, I was immediately blown away by the elegant decor and homey ambience infused by the friendly staff at the same time. We arrived early just before 5pm. They even agreed to our dim sum request during dinner service and those Shrimp Hacao tasted as beautifully as they looked. As recommended by server, “Shrimp Mandarin” served in mildly spicy and sweet tomato sauce was absolutely delicious with its distinctive “wok flavor” and a perfect match with rice. Braised pan-fried silken tofu (don’t know the exact name of dish as it was ordered off-menu) was nicely executed for the balanced texture of silken tofu blanketed with thin, crispy outer layer which also served to coat the tofu with brown sauce. Last but not the least—the exquisite Durian Roll/pastry is a must try—someone who is not a fan of durian and yet has found this to be divine! The quality of food and service of this dinning experience was no doubt without reservation.

One of the best dim sum places in the DMV. It gets quite busy in the weekend during lunchtime, so either arrive early or be prepared to wait. The parking lot is also quite limited in spaces.

It’s one of our go to dim sum restaurants in DMV and had chance to visit after the renovation. The service was lacking and it was hard get hold of our server. Only one of the cart lady was helpful. While hot dim sum dishes were good, most of dishes we got served was lukewarm/cold. I’m not sure whether it’s waiting over 30 mins (Sat noon) is worthy or not but it was disappointing. BTW it’s not as good as before the pandemic.

The best and most beautiful Chinese restaurant in the DMV is BACK … and BETTER than ever! After a 3-year hiatus due to the pandemic and a pipe bursting, the Far East has made a triumphant return (they continued to do carryout while the dining room was closed), with lovely remodeling and the same superb food. Not to mention the best Mai Tai’s in town! You really can’t go wrong with the extensive menu, but our longtime favorites remain: Pan Fried Dumplings, Kang Pao Chicken, Onion Beef, Pork Chow Foon and, of course, Peking Duck. The oft-praised Peter Chang is less than 5 minutes from our home, yet we will always rather drive the 20 minutes to get our fix from the Far East! Can’t recommend highly enough — it will become your “go to” …

We went in for dim sum on a Sunday afternoon. There was a line but we were seated quickly. They have cart service which I really like! I’ve been to several dim sum spots that don’t do the cart service which really takes away from the experience. Plus, I like to see and pick what I’d like to eat since I don’t know all the Chinese dish names.

Good food. A bit pricey but worth it.

When I walked into this restaurant during lunch time first impressions it was going well until I saw the bill for the soup. They didn’t say anything, it wasn’t even on the menu. The menu also wasn’t even up to date! I felt like they were ripping us off. We had to pay almost a 100（一百）dollars for this soup. That is basically 50 cents every bite. I don’t advise you to go there because they might also rip you off of your money on other dishes. When we got the bill the waiters stared at us and when somebody got up at our table they ran away. Their manager was not even there to answer our question. Over all the food was a bit terrible such as the sweet and sour sauce was squishy. but the money was to overpriced.

I grew up going to this restaurant and it’s always been great! Last night was a different story. The lighting is way tooooo bright, we felt very rushed and it was super loud. Everyone was seated in the same place and should have been spread out more throughout the restaurant. I am however, thankful that carry out was open during the pandemic and that they have now opened for dining. I will try to go back one more time, maybe I’ll just stick with carry out.

Out of town customer. Have been in this restaurant couple times before for dim sum but this time for dinner. Ordered mà pô tofu and the after taste was weird and numb to the tongue. Stir fried veggie dish was salty, the only one scallop in it was not fresh, fishy smell. Pepper salt shrimp was so so and egg noodles was chewy. Dishes were overpriced. Only edible dish was stir fried flat noodles with beef (ho fun) not bad and reasonable price. Wanted to give feedback to server and manager, but they seemed to avoiding us. Not going back to this place. For the type of foods, should be like Chinese fast food takeout, but this place charged with premium price. BIG disappointment!
