Great menu, you will for sure find something you like. Fast service and a great location short walk from my hotel. I would like to see the water guy in something other than adidas sweat pants but that's the casual times we are all living in now. I had a $9 drink and was out for under $45
Good Chinese food! Came here for lunch while in the city. It wasn't very busy, probably 2-3 other parties eating here. We ordered the ginger scallion lobster, garlic string beans, and fried fish with xo sauce. We originally wanted to order a different fish dish, but the waitress recommended this one instead. It was on a separate Chinese/Cantonese menu, which had more Chinese style/authentic dishes, compared to the usual Chinese-American fare. The waitress was very friendly and made jokes with us too. The food came out quickly and hot. The fish was a good choice, possibly my favorite of the 3 dishes. Fish filet pieces were tender, and served with snow peas, in a savory sauce. String beans were garlicky and slightly spicy, a classic dish. The lobster was great too, but could've used even more of ginger flavor in the sauce. The prices were a bit high imo, and gratuity is automatically charged for dine-in orders (which is stated on the menu).
Some of the best Chinese food I have ever had. I went before a Washington Capitals ice hockey game and it was perfect and conveniently a 5 minute walk from Capital One Arena in the heart of Chinatown. It is definitely an older restaurant but extremely fast service. The sesame chicken was a hit!
Decided to dine in here because I walked pass the glass window and saw diners with some delicious lobster with ginger and scallions, plus a large group of Chinese people dining in the back so I know this is the place to go. It did not disappoint!!! I was dining by myself so I couldn't order a lot. I settled with the Sha-Cha Beef & Enoki Mushroom with Glass Noodles in casserole, plus a bowl of rice. Beef was tender, enoki mushroom and glass noodles soaked up the sauce which made the entire dish very flavorful! The portion was big too, enough for two people. Service was good. I cannot wait to go back and try other dishes next time I visit the area. A side note to add, they have a sign saying they will automatically add 15% service charge to you bill when you dine-in.
In DC for one day, so happy to find this vegan friendly Chinese restaurant just beyond the Chinatown Archway. The food was so so so delicious . Great selection of mock meats. Service was fast and friendly. The decor, booths, set up, is tasteful and spacious. Relaxing, smooth jazz played as we ate. Front windows look out to Chinatown, a charming view. Keeping this place in mind for my next visit - highly recommend !! Yes: vegan friendly
