Dumpling District

We loved this place! Lots of great dumpling options- we tried the chicken soup dumplings and the rainbow soup dumplings- which is one of each flavor- and we loved them all! Lots of flavor. We also tried the pork Bao and the crab now both of which were very tasty. Service was fast too

I tried the rainbow soup dumplings, which are an assortment of different flavors and were fun and tasty. All of them looked a little deflated, but by far the best and most flavorful dumpling of the bunch is the crab meat and pork. Don’t let the appearance fool you. I find myself ordering it every time. The filling is rich and perfectly seasoned making each bite a real standout. The hot and sour soup is also excellent. It has a nice balance of tanginess and spice with plenty of texture from mushrooms and tofu. It’s a great complement to the dumplings and rounds out the meal perfectly. If you’re a dumpling fan this place is definitely worth a visit.

I stumbled upon Dumpling District in Ballston Quarter looking for a quick bite and am so glad I stopped. I was greeted immediately by Peter, the general manager, and he was so helpful in breaking down the different dishes and menu items. Very thorough in the descriptions of each. I love soup dumplings, so that was a must try for me. I went with a split of the mala (spicy pork) and crabmeat and pork soup dumplings. The broth was extremely savory and the dumplings held together excellently. The mala was rich in flavor and not too spicy at all and the crabmeat and pork complimented each other nicely. Peter pointed out that the pork chops were one of his favorites, so I had to try those. They weren’t too salty at all like some pork chops and were very tender, cooked to perfection, and no tough

A mixed bite, dumpling disappointment, but a soup redemption. Taking a well-earned break from my usual grind of fixing planes, I ventured out with high hopes and an appetite for discovery. I was eager to be wowed, especially by a spot known for its dumplings. Sadly, the culinary journey didn't quite take off the way I expected. This place is situated in the Ballston Quarter Food court, I got lost trying to find it, so here you go......it's underneath the building!!! My wife and I ordered an assortment of dumplings, including the vibrant rainbow dumplings and the much-anticipated crab dumplings. For our daughter, we chose the seafood noodle soup--a decision that, in hindsight, turned out to be the saving grace of the entire meal. Let's start with the dumplings. While visually appealing, the

Wife and I came here for a quick early dinner. Ordered one order of the soup dumpling sampler, hot and sour soup and the scallion noodles. The scallion noodles and the soup were bland to the point of being almost inedible, with the soup in particular tasting like it was straight out of one of those powdered soup packets yet even more watered down. Seriously, I cannot reiterate enough how terrible the hot and sour soup was... It was the worst I've ever had. The soup dumplings, though, were actually pretty good - flavorful and delicious, although the dipping sauce was not particularly good. I recommend eating the dumplings by themselves without it. Overall though, not particularly pleased with the quality.
