We come here often and both love the kung pao chicken and boba tea! So yummy with the fried rice, and the boba is the perfect level of sweetness. Usually we do take-out but we have dined in and the staff is all very nice and attentive, and the food comes out super quick. Great place, wish they were open on Tuesdays though!
This is our favorite Chinese food in DC. I’m always surprised when people don’t know about this place. My wife and I used to live closer but keep coming back even after moving to the opposite side of the city. Everything is truly delicious. Highly recommended!
This is my favorite place to go when I want to stay close to home but get authentic food. The food, drinks and tea are always amazing it feels like it’s been made with love. Every time I come with my partner or kids we are always warmly welcome with a hug and amazing service. The place is cozy and intimate but the boba tea is to die for. Amazing people food and hospitality. Thanks for being apart of my community.
