Authentic Chinese restaurant, I love going here for their noodles, you can tell they are house made. I’ve had their mapo tofu and dumplings as well and it always hits. This place is an institution and I eagerly await for them to reopen!

We stopped by for lunch and dinner at this Chinatown Express in Washington DC during our last family vacation because it was located so close to our hotel. The food served at this Chinese restaurant was very good that we had dinner here three nights in a row. We ordered the Triple Delight on Rice, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, Beef Hor Fun, two big bowls of freshly made Hand-pulled Noodles topped with Roast Duck and Roast Pork, Mapo Tofu on the Rice, Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup, Roast Pork Fried Rice and Seafood Chow Mein. All the dishes tasted so delicious, appetizing and go so well with hot Chinese Tea. And you get free Fortune Cookies too lol! Highly recommended if you’re looking for some authentic Chinese food while visiting Chinatown in Washington DC. Good service, friendly staffs, reasonable pricing and delicious food!
Vegetarian options: They have vegetable dishes like Sautéed Broccoli, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, Sautéed Yu Choy, Szechuan String Beans, Mixed Vegetables with Black Mushrooms etc
The real Chinese restaurant in DC Chinatown with excellent Peking Duck and Dim

I was stoked to try this place after seeing all the positive reviews of authentic duck. I ordered the duck noodle dish and was horribly disappointed. Not sure if we just got the tourist treatment or what, but I got 4 pieces of duck and 3 of them were solid bone. It was BAD. They table next to me had a beautiful half duck, and I'm pretty sure they just threw in whatever they didn't serve to that table into my food. Egg drop soup also tasted like water. My partner's fried rice was good but one good fried rice dish doesn't make the $50 bill any easier to stomach. Hope you have better luck because most of the food looked really good.

Great place, but I hate the fact that they add bones to the soup. Like, it just kills the vibe and I am unable to focus normally on eating the duck. The staff is awesome, quick and on point. Atmosphere is great if you dont consider the smell of dry
Simply don’t go there. Not only poor food, service and atmosphere, they served stale food.

Took the family hoping to relive a great experience of an authentic Chinese restaurant my wife and I enjoyed back in 2011-2013.They did not open at “10:00 AM as posted on their door and online. But we told our kids it was worth the wait and walked around a few blocks exploring until they turned on their lights. We then ordered hoping for the best.Much to our disappointment, the food was horrible. I had “fresh” noodles with roast duck. The noodles were absolutely not fresh, and the chunks of duck were mostly gristle, bone, and rubbery cold meat that had been cooked on some previous day. I just removed the chunks of duck, which were not what I consider edible. I tried to salvage the meal by just eating the noodles. The noodles were oddly hot in the middle and cold in parts, and salty.Each member of my family had similar experiences - food that was hot in some places and cold in others. No one finished their plates. The only best part of the meal were the spring rolls, which tasted ok.The bathroom was “out of order” and apparently had been for a while. Guess they didn’t care about customers enough to just call a plumber.Our waitress also stood and just stared at us for the last five minutes. Which was just weird.Overall, a place that at once been “amazing” a decade earlier was, quite honestly, gross and disappointing. And for a family of five with two small children, cost about $100. It wasn’t worth more than five bucks, which was the cost of the spring rolls.I will not be going back, as everyone in our family agreed that Panda Express is cheaper, closer, cleaner, has working restrooms, better service, and simply tastes much better.

$20 for brown lo mein noodles with absolutely zero flavor. How is this place busy?! Do yourself a favor and just go Panda Express. They should be ashamed of themselves.
