5 stars for the beef noodle soup - soup is delicious and beef is so tender it falls apart when you pick it up with chopsticks.
Wontons are delicate and delicious, if a bit salty. The dumplings are alright, skin is a bit too thick. The pork burger is alright. Broccoli is a pass - seasoning is patchy and too vinegary. Would definitely come back for the noodles.

I know 肉夹馍 (pork Chinese burger). My family grew up in 西安 (Xi’An) which is pretty much the city where the dish originated. My family makes it ourselves here, I will say the flavour is 80% there. It definitely was satisfying to eat, but in my opinion, it felt too oily for my tastes and the meat was in chunks instead of small pieces and shreds. Perhaps they just didn’t “mince” it with the cleaver enough. The prices were reasonable. Considering this was DC Chinatown which is the most gentrified place in DC, this place was a breath of fresh air, providing something relatively authentic. The service was also fantastic.

The environment is clean and self-service, and there is an extra frozen glutinous rice chicken that we didn't order, which made us confused. The Chaos and Neijia Mo taste good, but the food I ordered is generally on the salty side, and diners with heavy tastes may have a better experience.

Excellent!! The food was hot and made with quality ingredients. The wait time for my food was reasonable due to the fact that it was made to order. As an added bonus experience I noticed and really appreciated the clean and well kept dining tables.

Bonkers' Chinese Burger is a pretty unique spot with some interesting flavor combinations. The fusion of Chinese spices with a classic burger worked well, though it didn’t completely blow me away. The buns were fresh, and the burger was flavorful, but I felt like it could use a bit more punch in the seasoning. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and comfortable. Overall, it's a good spot if you're in the mood for something different, but I think there’s still room for improvement.

Ordered on Uber eats. Found a bug in my soup. The bug is the size of a fly. Worst thing is, I already ate half of the soup when I found it. This is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen. Traumatized.

4.5: While I waited for my food, I watched as they wrapped dumpling after dumpling and I knew immediately I made the right decision.
The spicy dumplings were fantastic. They had the right level of heat with a hint of sweetness and the dumplings themselves were so, so tender. They practically melted in your mouth.
The pork burger was good but the bun needed salt (to me). The pork itself, especially with chili oil added, was perfectly cooked and really flavorful.
Will definitely come back for more dumplings.

A clean, bright place to have a snack or meal. I just wanted a snack and had a very good Braised Beef Sandwich ($7.95) and Yuzu Green Tea ($5).

One of the few affordable Chinese food in Chinatown, DC. We recommend the roujiamo and beef noodles. Remember to add chili oil to make them more delicious.
The Pork Burger was fantastic and so reasonably priced. The Tomato Wanton soup was flavorful and the wantons we great. Will absolutely go back next time I am in DC!

Below average "burger" as they call it. It's just a dry bao bun filled with some shredded meat.
I would not recommend this place, there are far better restraunts in the vicinity.

This restaurant is probably the worst Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. The staff have no idea about the orders. I’ve been coming here for long time. I usually wait two pick up orders. One is ready, and they say the other one will be ready in two minutes. Every time I go, the second order is either stolen or forgotten in the kitchen. The staff have no concern about it. They only focus on the orders of those dining inside. I came today as well. They said it would take two minutes, but I waited twenty minutes. It never takes less than fifteen or twenty minutes for the food to come out. Whenever they say "wait five minutes," I never wait less than fifteen minutes. How are people still ordering from this place? How are they still making money? I really don’t get it. The order I got today was ready an hour ago. Another driver had stolen it. The staff only noticed after I had waited ten minutes inside for the other order to be prepared. They said five minutes, but again, I had to wait another fifteen minutes. In total, I spent half an hour just waiting for the order to be prepared. Don’t complain about the food being cold, because neither the staff nor the owner has any idea how to run a restaurant. If you’re going to order, do so with this in mind.

Very cool Chinese food. I enjoyed the cold rice noodles and the spicy dumplings. Also the modern, light decor. Also, bubble teas!
Came here with the elderly at home, the environment is clean and tidy, and the food is delicious?
