I was very pleasantly surprised by the fantastic quality of the food here. We had the green beans, bok choy, noodles, pork, and duck and each one was phenomenal. If you can get the duck, ABSOLUTELY do because they have perfected the crispiness of the skin. I went for Lunar New Year expecting it to be packed but they had a few tables open. Service was phenomenal and I will definitely be coming here again soon

We ordered three roastings—duck, soy chicken, and honey-glazed ribs—since we were rushing to catch Twice at Capital One Arena, just a three-minute walk away. Everything was good and so good with rice, though the execution fell short in places. The roast duck had unplucked feathers, particularly on the wings, and the honey-glazed ribs were overly dry with some ends charred black.

The food is so tasteless! Not sure must one but 4 items ordered from the menu. The steam dumplings are not freshly made and steamed. The soup is cold, the noodles are soggy, duck is cold and tasteless, rice still has crust over it. Very disappointed!!!!

Disappointing, low quality food for any Chinese restaurant but especially one that is in China town in the center of DC. The duck soup and beef noodles were over salted, tasted more like chicken growth from can.

The food is very authentic Chinese-style, and the restaurant is located right near the Chinatown gate, making it easy to find. The space is small and cozy, suitable for small groups

Terrible. I had the duck wonton soup. Duck was absolute scraps and virtually inedible. Wontons were okay, but they were not even remotely intact. Service was fine, seemed like the locals liked the place.

We love this hidden gem in DC. The food is fast, consistently delicious, and always hits the spot. I especially love that you can order a little teapot for the table—it’s such a nice touch. If you get the chance, the Peking duck is also amazing and absolutely worth ordering.

This restaurant is for non-Chinese. Try it , and you will find out what I mean here...
The food was exceptional. The party I ordered with received our food within 10 minutes and were fed large portions for very reasonable pricing. I highly recommend this restaurant for anybody in downtown looking for a quick, succulent, and substantial meal.

I ordered hot and sour soup, egg rolls, general tso chicken with white rice. The food portions were very generous. The soup was okay, I did enjoy the fried wonton strips that I added to my soup. The egg roll was good as was the general tso chicken. I had a canned soda. I'm not a fan of canned soda at a restaurant, but oh well. The wait staff was quick and attentive. The environment was cozy and casual. I would recommend this for a quick sit down place when you have an appetite. I am not from DC, I was visiting and spent all morning walking around town, this spot was a good meal that allowed me to refuel before I continued my site seeing
