I was looking for a place to eat on independence weekend and they were open. I ordered combination fried rice, green onion pancake and spring rolls. Food had a little too much oil for my taste. I had green onion pancakes before in a restaurant in Los Angeles and they were awesome so I had high expectations. These ones weren't good. The rice was okay but again a bit too much oil for me. The service was good. They were on it, checking on the water and making sure we had everything...

We went to Washington, D.C., for the first time and enjoyed this beautiful city. We went to eat at some places, but one of our favorites is this place. A family restaurant with humble and kind attention. The food is so good. We went twice. If we visit this city again, we will come back to this nice place.

Stumbled here after a long afternoon sightseeing at the national Mall... Delicious food served quickly and very friendly server. Great fresh ingredients and reasonable prices for DC.
