Came here with a friend on her recommendation and I’m so glad I did. Interior is small but cute, with enough seating room to dine in. Our food came out literally in like 5 minutes of getting our order in, and it was HOT, to the point that I had to wait a few minutes for it to cool down. I got the crab fried rice, and for $22, the portion was huge (I took some home), and the meat was real crab and delicious! We also had the cream cheese wontons as an appetizer which were amazing....

Really enjoyed my experience here! The interior is beautifully designed — modern but still cozy, with a great bar setup that adds to the vibe. The food was excellent — full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for both the atmosphere and the food.

Exceptional service! Had a minor issue while there. The staff leapt into action and worked to ensure the issue was rectified.

I will continue to visit when in the DC area.
