Han Palace, this is the newest dimsum place in the area. The owners use to have a very popular place in Arlington called China Garden that has since closed and have now opened this. Probably one of the fancier and expensive dimsum places to go in the area. The next one that is popular in Falls Church in Seven Corners is a place call Hong Kong Pearl (I have been here before and it's decent but I have not been to Han Palace yet)
