“This is intelligent and well thought-out food that is delivered with kindness and engagement. Truffle dumplings with a corn foam were genius. Terrific vegetarian drunken noodles. And silken tofu in a complex fermented black-bean broth that made me see through time. My wife's cocktail had a tiny touch of a Chinese cough syrup in it, which sounds funky and was, instead, kinda transcendent! We sat at the bar and watched the passionate precision of the kitchen. Bartender was super friendly. Great evening that we hope to repeat soon. Keep up the great work!!“
“Amazing location for private events. Staff was very professional and provided great service. We enjoyed the ability to have a customized menu with themed drink names and a great array of food options including passed appetizers and buffet style serving. Our guests loved the atmosphere and vibe of the venue. Thank you Bar Chinois for helping us have a successful event!“
“An interesting take on Chinese cuisine, definitely worth trying! Everything was delicious, the staff were friendly and professional…But including 22% service fee is ridiculous!!! Why don’t you just pay salaries to your staff, guys? It’s absolutely fine to include wages in to the prices - they are not that small, btw!PS Ribs and wings were awesome ??“
“Wow everything we tried looked beautiful and tasted amazing. Pork and kimchi potstickers, veggie dumplings, green beans, and smashed salmon are what we tried. I don’t think you can go wrong. Love that you can order everything through toast tab too. Makes it simple.“
“Dim sum is brought out from the kitchen rather than served from steam carts going around the restaurant. As for the taste and quality, they depend on what item you order. I liked the bean curd roll and the shrimp stuffed tofu but the fried chive dumplings were gummy. Prices start at $5.25 per order and go up to over $10. The service was pleasant but weekends are extremely busy here.“

“I am working my way through the menu and got a delivery order for dinner - this time I tried a variety of vegetarian and meat dishes - I recommend starting off with a soup, the shrimp winton soup was delicate, comforting on a cold night. The crispy beef had great sauce but the beef did not stay crispy like I expected. Dan dan noodles were the perfect texture and temperature but didn't come with a sauce as pictured. The pan fried bao had rich pork filing, good texture and a crispy underside. Mapo tofu, again great flavor but I was expecting some texture to the dish besides the tender silky tofu. Excellent spice level.“
“I had a random craving for Chinese one night so I took a leap of faith and tried China Cafe Carryout for the first time, due to its reviews and I was not disappointed.I ordered the orange chicken, white rice, and a egg roll and my cravings were well satisfied. They did not hold back on the portion size either. I had enough for dinner and lunch the next day. My only issue was they only accepted cash. As someone who doesn't carry cash, I became discouraged but strangely enough, they accepted CashApp so I was able to pay for my food. There was a ATM inside the restaurant also though I had no intention in using it. I highly recommend though! Just remember, if you don't have CashApp or aren't comfortable with using a random ATM, then take cash!“
“Easy five stars. There is so much passion in this little place. It feels like a home cooked meal. Pretty much is. The owner is so kind and welcoming. It's a glimpse of what I wish more businesses were like, with charm, quality, and love of the craft of tea making and food. It's a cute little place with lots of personality. I can see this place becoming very popular.“
“5 Stars - surprised by some other reviews. Our first trip and we loved the food. The dry pot shrimp/scallops was probably the best Chinese recipe I’ve had. Very, very fresh, well seasoned, and loved the presentation. My picky child ordered a 2nd helping of the soup dumplings.Overall, 5 stars (we’d visit again the next time we’re in DC). Family friendly, and kids loved the Chinese menu items (no “kids menu burger/fries garbage).Kid-friendliness: Kids loved the soup dumplings, and fried rice. “Best ever” according to their review.“
“I was impressed! We ordered takeout, and the food was still pretty warm. We got the General Tso's Chicken, the crispy beef, and chicken & cilantro dumplings. All of the food was super fresh!! The crispy beef had a tangy flavor, and actually was crispy. The vegetables were a great accompaniment. The chicken and cilantro dumplings had a great flavor, and the spicy sauce was the perfect addition. The general tso's was overall good but could have been more flavorful/crispy. The portions were also pretty generous! I would definitely order again!“
“About time I review CHIKO. They recently reopened Barracks Row location for inside dining, and I’m thrilled. I’ve been coming here pretty regularly since they opened back in 2017, and it’s definitely one of my favorite spots in DC. My favorite dishes are the brisket and confit duck fried rice, but everything on the menu is fantastic. If you see something new (and you will), give it a shot because they definitely put a lot of creative energy and care into their dishes.Oh yeah, and their take out bags are adorbs.“
“Ok - so I've honestly turned my nose up at this place in recent years because it feels like people love it for the novelty (it's in a Days Inn motel) and not the food. But real talk, I ordered the cumin lamb, and I put in the notes: "I AM ASIAN PLEASE MAKE VERY SPICY" - and Panda Gourmet delivered. I was hurting, and it was so good. Their cumin lamb was so flavorful and sooooo spicy. It honestly rivals Bobs Shanghai in Rockville (which is very high praise because I'm obsessed with theirs). Panda Gourmet's mapo tofu is a lil weak, but next time, I'll put the same note on it too and maybe they'll kick it up a notch.“
“I nearly always get fried tofu. It is fabulous, for a meal or snacking. It sounds simple, it is and it is delicious. My other favorites: the spring vegetable rolls and the vegetable fried rice are great too. The rice has big pieces of fresh vegetables in it. The family owners, in addition to Chinese, speak Spanish and English reflecting and serving well our great little town of Mount Pleasant.“
“Coming from the West Coast, I didn't know there was a difference in how people do Chinese takeout/carry out. I usually wouldn't order wings and fries at a Chinese place but now I will be every time I can! The mambo sauce is a game changer! The wings and fries are crispy and delicious. We also got Lo Mein and you can't go wrong with that. They gave generous portions and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!“
“Isshin has one of the BEST service in Adams Morgan. May is the woman who always helps me. I think she’s the manager. She keeps that place running swiftly and smoothly. During the pandemic, Isshin made every effort to keep their place sanitized and customers safe by using PPE and placing hand sanitizers all around. The staff works super fast to get meals ready for you. They always go above and beyond to offer excellent service. I had to order spicy shrimp rice and I was going to arrive close to closing time, May kept Isshin open until I arrived (5 mins late) to pick up my food. I only live 3 blocks away but once I was not able to pick up my food from Isshin. May immediately said, “if you live close, I’ll deliver for you.” And she did just that and as usual with a very pleasant demeanor and genuine smile. May and her team at Isshin make this restaurant one of the best in Adams Morgan. Thank you May and Isshin!!!“
“Had great lunch at this place. First I saw the sign and wondered what "Chinese burger" was. But when I looked at photos on Yelp, I learned that this place has noodles and rice bowls and I decided to go. You can order at the counter or on the touch screen by yourself. I did the latter. Tbh the restaurant name is misleading, because they really don't have burgers. They only had a sandwich with pork. Majority of the items on the menu seemed to be noodle dishes. After scrolling menu pages many times, I ordered braised pork rice bowl and dumplings. Food took about 15 minutes. But then they gave me a sandwich although I ordered a rice bowl. So I had to wait a little more while eating dumplings. Dumplings were nice and juicy. Hot. The sauce that came with them was good. The rice bowl was Ah-mazing. I added free toppings: onion, green pepper and cilantro. The eggs were the best. I should have paid for extra eggs. The braised pork was so flavorful and juicy. A lot of rice. O recommended it for anyone who's very hungry. It's a smaller restaurant, and not suitable for groups of 5 and more, but it is perfect for solo diners and small groups. Will go back.“
“Exactly what I want out of my casual Asian dining. Small place, unassuming, and old looking menu often mean the food is about to be great. We got the pork dumplings and pork buns. Both were packed with flavor. The chili sauce on the table was spicy enough to bring one single tear to my eye, perfect. Wish it wasn't cash only and that they had some music playing so it wasn't so quiet, but overall great experience and would recommend.“

“Visited DC for a few days and this place looked cool. Didn’t know what to expect but since it was cold we decided to try it out. We had the beef pull noodle and it was so good! Also it’s really nice to see them make the noodles in front of you. We also ate the pork soup dumplings, wonton soup, and brown sugar latte. Everything was good and warm! For sure want to try out the burger next time I’m in DC.“
“Trust me, the egg foo young is not greasy and really good... Right now they are my best place for egg foo young in all of DC. Egg patties are nicely cooked.... Gravy is also not dark brown or heavy (ask for it on the side to control your portion) Tasty ??“
“The intestines were my favorite part of the meal!! It was not too fatty and had a little kick of spice to it. If you can eat intestines, I highly recommend. It's on their new menu. Also on the new menu, we got the sweet and sour pork. The pork does have bones in it, but the sauce is delicious. This was my friend's favorite. For a veggie dish, we ordered the mapo tofu. I thought this was lacking compared to other mapo tofus I've had but I usually like more meat and smaller softer tofu in my mapo tofu. You might really like this. Service was good and quick. Everyone there spoke Chinese and were very friendly. The interior of the restaurant is decorated nicely. Check out this place for more authentic chinese food if you're in Georgetown!“
“I stored my luggage in the market place and found out about this restaurant after picking up my stuff. The owners were very friendly. I ordered fish and pea tips. Both were authentic and delicious! I plan to revisit this restaurant again when I am in town.“
“We ordered Sour Vegetable Fish Soup, Stir Fry Bok Choy, and Green Pepper Chicken (rice is complimentary) for three people and we were stuffed to the brim. Note there are not many space or tables around (only 3) to dine in at the restaurant. Hence we did take out instead. Great substitute for Szechuan Great Wall which unfortunately closed down a few weeks ago. This is the closest that one can come to authentic chinese food in the district. Would love to try other dishes in the future.“
“Loud, yes. But it is okay. A party atmosphere. You sit close to others, but everyone talking fully mitigates that. Fun atmosphere. Not for a quiet romantic dinner, yet the digs and accroutrements are top notch. Place is popular for 3-6 drinks with dinner!“
“So tasty, what a gem!! I ordered the CURRY LAKSA NOODLE Soup, pictured. It can be all plant based - I asked for mushrooms, spinach and broccoli to be added/substituted for the chicken, and with no hesitation they accommodated me! I'm so pleased with this Union Station fast casual option, located on the second level. If you take the stairs opposite the Amtrak ticket counter, you'll find it with big open air seating. This dish also includes tofu, vegetables, rice sticks & egg noodle combination in a coconut curry broth, with bean sprouts, fresh! green beans, and corn. Amazing, and spicy warm. They have non spicy foods, too. I'll upload the current menu.“
“This is my absolute favorite spot in DC for Asian food! Their cooked dishes are very good and their Japanese sushi menu is amazing. It is very affordable and they give very generous portions! They are also so friendly here and the atmosphere is very cute“
“A small restaurant with a large menu of Chinese and other Asian dishes. My friend and I shared Singapore Noodle Vegetable ($15.95) and White Meat Orange Chicken ($16.95). We enjoyed our lunch and noticed how good all the food being served looked. Located close to the Metro and just a few blocks from the Phillips.“
“Hands down the best Chinese cuisine I ever had. Got the orange chicken for lunch and it was delicious. Ate every bite. Authentically made and made with love, sweet tangy and savory. And of course the fried rice was delicious. They get a 10/10 from me. I ordered pickup and it was only 15 minutes from the time I placed my order. Very friendly and nice. Might have to get it again for lunch tomorrow!“
“I've ordered from this place sooo much. I always get the sashimi, I usually get the sashimi platter. This last time I got the sashimi appetizer + vegetable dumplings. I have learned that this is one of the sushi places that plays with the term, "white fish." Some places use it for white tuna, some use it for yellowtail etc. I got the sushimi appetizer as it was advertised as salmon, tuna, and white fish--my favorites, except not the white fish I wanted lol. This was more translucent, and half-pink. That was my gamble. Can't really tell what the white sashimi I get in the platter is, I think its white tuna, but I won't make the mistake again.Nice, solid slices of shaved ginger. Good if you're sick! I do wish the sashimi came with a condiment cup like the veggie dumplings did. Veggie dumplings were fine, nice and plump.Also love that the place is open late--I've been a night owl my whole life, so works for me!5 stars overall. I've only been in-person once, and it was very pleasant. You need to be let in, which doesn't take long. Lots of randos wandering around Chinatown so I get it.“
“We've been eating here for over 20 years and it has always been good. It is recently under new management and the way some items are prepared has changed, but still very tasty -- just a new twist on an old favorite. The one thing the new management needs is someone who knows their way around a bar. The people there this week had a very limited range of knowledge about drinks (gin on the rocks got a blank look), but once you explained they happily made a very acceptable drink.“
“I have been in the US for 8 years and I would love to say that Muncheez's shawarma is the best in town . It's %100 the real original recipe of Shawarma you want to have cause they do it exactly the same way labanes people do in Lebanon. The manager Abbas is so amazing and the staff are awesome.“
“Definitely a no frills spot but our service was great and the food was decent. We unfortunately came right after the lunch special time but it was still pretty good. Got the tofu and vegetables with rice. It wasn’t super sweet like some dishes like this tend to be which I really enjoyed. Definitely want to try some of the rest of their menu. It’s not really meant for dine in but we ate there with our containers.The mooncakes look delicious, definitely want to go back for those!“
“The food is so good. Best shrimp fried rice and chicken wings in the city. They have the real Mumbo sauce!! I hate going there because of the location. Sketchy as hell! People hanging out front smoking/selling weed. Looks like something can pop off at any second so call ur food in ahead of time pick up and go!! But the food is delicious!“
“Vegetarian options: I had Vegetable Egg Fu Yung. Honestly, the best I've ever had. Fresh vegetables. Not totally vegetarian with the egg, but really so nice that I came from Uber Eats to leave a review. Green Beans were great too! Beautifully spicy oil on the side. Thank you!“
“I just love Queen,She’s the pretty face women THTS at the front but also the cook helping hands etc ???.Her respect queen tone of voice has no rudeness no base ,Queen talk with a lot of respect and ther 4 she will always be the greatest & while I’m pregnant I only eat rn MayFlowers??????… I just love her and my cook he be puttin his heart on that grill lol..“
“I started working in this area 4 years ago and I was searching for a carryout that delivers. At the time I was looking for the best steak n cheese. And it was so good.Crab Sticks very good. never over cooked. Highly surprised but I Now Love Crab Ragoon . I don't even know the original authentic taste of Crab Ragoon but Kenny's taste soo good. Chicken Terk. On the Stick. ?.Food Be Hot When They Get Here And Everything Be In the Bag.They be sending me text for discounts. Cool“
“Wow!! Absolutely delicious food! I don’t usually have high expectations with unlimited dimsum, so we were pleasantly surprised! The food quality was very good, and so tasty. Not watered down American dimsum, tasted like authentic Hong Kong style cooking! I highly recommend the panfried seafood noodles, roast pork buns, roast bbq pork, snow peas, and duck ? Our server Chen was super attentive, timing all our dishes right when we were ready for the next round, very amiable, and gave overall great customer service! The place is on the small side, but is very tastefully decorated. Can’t wait to go back!Kid-friendliness: They have reduced prices for kids.“
“Great place! Super friendly, thoughtful and accomodating guy. Good, fresh food. To go bag always has cutlery, napkins, fortune cookies, sauces, and a lil bonus (last time it was an apple)! Cute little table to wait, food made quickly.Great fried rice, shrimp, spring rolls. Lo mein kinda bland.“
“I love going to Wonder Chicken great family friendly vibes. The food is top tier nice seating to eat inside. My kids and Nieces and Nephews all go there after school to grab something to eat. I know they love the fries and onion rings. And 5 piece Chicken Wing With Hot sauce, Ketchup, And Mambo Sauce... Lol Its a Dc thing. But any way the Have very good menu with alot of good meals. This is good place for great food“
“SOOOOOO GOOD AND SO FAST!I ordered the broccoli chicken w/extra brown sauce. It had so much chicken and it actually had extra brown sauce!!!It was soooooo good some of the best Chinese food I've ever had and it's literally a 1min walk from my apt! I'm so excited I highly recommend.I also ordered the pan fried dumpling but they resembled gyoza more so that traditional dumplings, but they were still so good and the dipping sauce they came with.Fast and friendly service :)“
“I rarely write reviews but I have to give this place credit. They have really good food. I'm vegetarian so I usually get the Tofu dishes. There are no weird aftertaste or smells like the food from some of the other carry outs in the area. The vegetables are fresh and actually taste like vegetables. Lol. The cashier is isn't rude. I highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area.“
“Amazing customer service! I ordered through UberEats but called to just make sure I can get extra mambo sauce and the individual I spoke to was EXTREMELY nice. The food is also very delicious and not covered in too much grease. Mambo sauce is the best as well. Will continue to order from them.“
“One of the only Chinese take outs in the area. I bought lunch for the installers today and this is what they asked for. The prices are high for what it is. Maybe due to no competition and the ridiculous DC taxes. The guys liked the food.My feedback is this:-no reason to not improve the ordering area. It’s filled with posters of food options and pricing. Would not cost much to get a nicer menu presentation.-too many options on the menu, make a smaller menu and they’ll sell more-the employees are very nice and easy to understandGreat location and easy street parking. Opposite side of the street from 7-11. I would buy food again from here.Vegetarian options: Not many vegetarian options, and you can’t guarantee that the kitchen doesn’t mix meats with veggies.Parking: Decently easy street parking.Kid-friendliness: No place to sit down and eat. Not a place to have kids hang out.“
“Had a late evening and decided to get carry out; ordered online and the food was made quickly and ready when we arrived. The workers were so kind and double checked our food to make sure we had everything before we left, (without even being asked to!). The portions were large and my Dad claims 'that was the best orange chicken I've ever had.' Would highly recommend and would eat here again!“
“Suki soup and red curry with seafood are excellent‼️ Inside and outdoor seating Waitress was busy busy seating folks, taking orders, entering orders, serving food, making spring rolls and drinks, and bringing checks and clearing tables.“
“Old faithful. Neighborhood carry out. I usually get chicken and broccoli, shrimp lo mein, shrimp fried rice, shrimp egg rolls, or wings with fried. Everything is really good to me. Now, I always have to go back and forth to the lady in the front about automatically putting mumbo sauce in the bag when I get wings and fries. You know where your restaurant is located? In the District of Columbia, you should automatically put mumbo sauce in the bag. I shouldn't have to ask. I feel like she does this on purpose to save money or something. Every. Time. Nonetheless...I always come back!“
“This was a really nice vibe for a late night. Lots of people “possibly because it was late and the only thing open but was also the same night of a Doja Cat concert” The food was really good, I had beef and broccoli and it tasted different from any other I’ve had before (I’m a good way) and it was honestly one of the top Chinese take outs for me.“
“Coming from Southern California where there are Panda Express in almost every street, this Panda Express is one of the best Pandas I ever been to. The staff are friendly and kind. You’ll greeted with smile and they actually care about you. 5 star experience here!“
“This spot on H St Corridor is hands down my favorite. The drinks, service, and food consistently impress. The ambiance is wonderfully moody with dim lighting and great background music. I always opt for the vegan version of the beef noodles, which are consistently flavorful and delicious. The bartenders are not only friendly but also knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations. I appreciate that they maintain an accessible archive of past menus, allowing guests to order from a wide range of drink options. Despite its small size and the place sometimes getting crowded, outdoor seating and an extra bar on the back patio provide additional space.“
