“ Dumplings amazing, milk tea delicious and hot pot soooo good!! They don't serve alcohol but it is a great place to eat. The waiter was efficient and friendly. And we were surprised by the bill, really decent price. Definitely coming back and tasting other things on the menu. Be careful for the one that don't eat spicy, the "slightly spicy" is spicy and will make your tongue tingling (thanks Szechuan peppercorn). For the one that like heat, the hot pot is so flavorful that I don't think you need to go to "highly spicy", medium would work fine. You'll have your entire mouth feeling weird. ”

“ Food was next-level incredible. We really loved the dim sum options (house made soy sauce was an absolute hit), especially the siu mai! The hot pot was not to be missed, we loved every bite and had plenty left over to take home. We will definitely be coming back. ”

“ Right on H street this place is awesome! Staff is friendly, we love Ryan. Food is very delicious. Have been here a few times and it never disappoints. Big menu, some of our favorites are the steamed dumplings, cucumber salad, the soup dumplings and the classic hot pot. ”

“ I’ve been here for dine in and pick up, and both experiences were great! The spring rolls are SOOO good - hot and crispy. The seaweed salad is delicious (and not spicy thankfully). The shrimp wonton soup was amazing (never had that before)... but the sesame chicken was the best sesame chicken I’ve ever had in my life! This is definitely a new fav spot! ”

“ Loved the good and experience! Authentic Shang Hai atmosphere. Definitely recommend the veggie hot pot ”

“ Food was so good! We just got Dan Dan noodles and pork dumplings with chilli oil . Both were amazing!! Nothing was too spicy and we ordered “medium”. We went for light apps as we had 2 hrs to kill before dinner. Food was perfect to share. Love that you can just order on the iPad. ”

“ This new pan Asian dumpling and hot pot place @dumplingshotpotbeyond is a fun place to get together. They have tables and booths, and soon they will have a different layout to include a bar. The place is a bit hard to see as the most obvious signage is “Asian street food” but the giant FDC next to the front door makes it easier to find. Up in the second floor window is a drum set and other musical instruments. They plan to make this part of the party. The food is dim sum and hot pots. You order in a tablet. Ryan, who looks like the last movie incarnation of Elvis, is the only server and he manages everything like a rockstar. The kitchen is open and the staff in there are rolling with it. The food is good but fused for the American palate. I can see this becoming a chain restaurant like Cheesecake Factory or Fridays. They have no liquor license so get juiced on milk tea or Vietnamese coffee. The best thing about this place is the potential for a good time. They may have karaoke and trivia and “beyond” in the future. It’s a fun time. And inexpensive. 30 per person for a group of eight. ”

“ Delicious addition to H St NE! We had many dishes that were delicious. Talked to the owners, who said they are awaiting their liquor license and then they’ll be opening a bar in the upstairs loft area. Fun!! ”
