tried the rice crepe for both beef and duck and they were super good! The golden egg desert was also very charming and perfect amount of sweetness for a savory meal. Arrived on a Thursday evening and it wasn’t too crowded and was able to find a seat. There is a parking time limit so be sure to double check. Would definitely recommend and plan to come back!

The restaurant was clean and nice. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Everyone has their own taste. In my personal opinion, the roast duck was too greasy. The skin wasn't crispy. Except for that dish, the other dishes were all good.

Astonishingly good. Can’t go wrong with this order: beef chow fun, Chinese broccoli with garlic, salt fish fried rice with chicken. Always read into the reviews before you dine… this place has bad reviews because of service…which I’ll agree is average.. but the food is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We ordered a to go order 30 minutes before closing and it came out perfect. You see this sear on this garlic clove.. I can’t begin to describe the attention to detail to cooking surfaces, heat, and the right amount of oil to sear garlic in this way. Nothing was burnt, veggies were crispy, everything was fresh, beef in the Chow Fun was a melty tender ribeye. Superb… just flawless execution here. This is attentive cooking in high temp woks using fresh ingredients and clean oil. Will certainly look to dine in next time we’re in Virginia. If you want good service with mediocre food, visit Peking Gourmet… last I checked nobody is ordering Chinese food for the service.

Food was good on average. Favorites were the fried glutinous rice dumplings and the duck. The rice noodle rolls didn’t have as much elasticity than other places I’ve tried. The congee was good, but the chicken was on the dry side. We got it with preserved egg and it came with chicken in the base. Would get it without chicken next time if that’s an option.

Food was good but lacked that flavor that elevates the dish from being good to great. It was still good and came out most Rikki-tik, almost too quick but still felt fresh. Felt full but not in a bad way. Definitely felt satiated afterwards. Pleasantly surprised with the food and the overall price. I would come back if I was in the area and hungry for Dim Sum.

I would say that Han palace exceeded my expectations. The three of us thoroughly enjoyed every dish that we ordered. The service was prompt and helpful.
