“*New owners September 2022**First, this place is CLEAN. It smells clean and looks clean. The staff is really friendly and attentative. The food is good but expensive for that I got. I got seafood mac and cheese $15 and not much seafood or seafood taste but it was tasty. I came at 5:30 pm on a Friday. Not many people here at this time. I hope they get good business later on in the day.“

“Order the Pig Burrito, you will not be disappointed! It has bacon, sausage, ham, scrapple, egg, and cheese. You can also get green peppers and onions in it but I opted out. It’s not on the menu, but trust me it’s there. It’s a lot, but it is so delicious!!!! I had been sick the past two days unable to eat anything and I woke up extremely hungry and this thing hit the spot! Everything I get from Johnny’s is great but this hit different.“

“This place is so fun if you love a variety of Asian foods, and this evening I happened to walk in on a fantastic live jazz band playing by the bar. Last time, we had Korean tacos and tempura, this time I’m having croffles, miso soup, and spaghetti. (I know it’s weird but it’s all so delicious)“

“You know you’re going to have good food when the servers get excited about your menu decisions. Everything was absolutely wonderful. We got to sit at the bar with a direct view of the kitchen. I don’t know if the octopus or the truffle dumpling was my favorite, but I know I’m getting both when I go back. The whole fried snapper had a delicious light breading. The duck noodles were tasty too; I will probably try to get it spicier next time. I’ll likely be back in a couple of weeks. I’m still thinking about the food. Also, this husband-wife team perfected my experience by ensuring such excellent service. They need to teach a workshop to other restauranteurs.“

“The most affordable, fast and tasty lunch option in the area. It’s a family-owned spot with great lunch specials and options for vegetarians. Highly recommend. It’s more of a takeout spot, but they have a few seats if you need to eat lunch in house“

“This is in my top 3 takeout spots for the Crystal City area. The Mapo Tofu and Stone Pot Tofu Fish dishes are my favorites, but I haven't had anything bad yet. This is not your standard American style Chinese restaurant. The flavors are significantly more interesting. Be prepared for things to be spicy, in a terrific way.“

“Love this place! Happened upon it when I worked close by and went twice in one 3 days! The food is delicious, the ambiance is great, and their little server robot is adorable. The pork soup dumplings were the best I've had since returning to the states. Incredibly rich and meaty! Definitely check this place out!“

“Admittedly I’m inflating my rating because it’s hard to find good, not overly Western fusion-ed, Asian food in DC. I wouldn’t (and can’t) go anywhere else for dry pot and veg mapo tofu. Didn’t care for the dumplings I’ve tried so far but I will definitely continue working my way through the menu. I very much appreciate that this place exists on H St!“

“Finally found my Chinese spot! From VA to MD, this is the BEST Chinese food I’ve had. Everything was fresh and hot! Prep time was quick, they were friendly even though they were busy with a slew of call in orders and pickups.
Tried the general tso, shrimp fried rice, fries, spring rolls and wings plus the blue lemonade. Everything was delicious and the price point is great as well!
I can’t wait to get back and try more of their menu.“

“Food is always good! Very clean establishment (especially for a carry-out)
My favorites are the Shrimp and Broccoli, General Tso Shrimp and Crab Ragoons.
In addition I’ve only had the Orange chicken, beef and broccoli, shrimp fried rice, shrimp lomein, and sweet and sour chicken which were all good.“

“In DC for 6 days, if it weren’t for family gatherings that included tons of food, I Would Have EATEN HERE EVERYDAY! Seriously love, the Love! Bring some of this great food to Boston!😘“

“This is some seriously good Ameri-Chinese food. Fresh, flavorful, great portions—all for a respectable price. Yes, it’s carry-out only. Assuming that’s why they’re able to keep the prices so low. But I loved swinging by here on my way home because the family who owns the place are so, so sweet.“

“I think this place needs higher stars. We're visiting from Florida and made our way to Chinatown and were looking for a decent place to eat. The food and service was excellent. Better than I expected. We ate the curry chicken which tasted like real curry. Sesame chicken was fresh and flavorful. The food came out quickly. I highly recommend this place.“

“The ONLY place in DC I get chinese food from. They have massive portions and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. I always get lo mein, seasame chicken, wonton soup and a taro boba tea. It lasts me for multiple meals which is perfect for my busy schedule. Also, the owner is an absolute gem of a human being. She takes alot of pride in her restaurant and it shows in her kindness, hospitality and delicious food. Thanks for keeping me full and happy!“

“Got take out twice in one week. Both times everything we ordered was so good! And the prices are great, esp for DC! Can’t wait to come back to DC to get the wonderful sushi from here again! The sashimi app and the jalapeño yellowtail roll are phenomenal! Highly recommend.“

“Brunch menu on their website hadn’t been updated, it’s now 75 minutes for bottomless brunch but the website says 90. They also wouldn’t give our table more than 1 brunch menu, but then the food on their website menu is wrong so you can’t even reliably reference that. Food was great, but you should order the bulk up front rather than trying to do multiple rounds because things can take up to 30 minutes to come out.“

“Service was great and people were friendly. We went out of our way to try this place in hopes of finding “better”, but the food was not any different than any other take out Chinese food we’ve had and this place seemed more expensive. The thing I like most is their mambo sauce for wings- very good. We would probably go back if we were in the area.“

“Takeout only. Cash only. You can call ahead to place a pickup order. Wide variety of food options. It's delicious, great size portions, and the prices aren't bad. This is the only Chinese food I eat within the DMV, I will, and I have traveled over an hour to get food from them.“

“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.“

“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 ??“

“I ordered for delivery from their website and was pleasantly surprised. The driver was their own staff and not a third party so that’s a plus. The driver was nice. It took about an hour for delivery which the website did give me a fair warning. The food was hot and fresh. The eggplant with garlic sauce was my favorite. The chicken cashew was good too. The fried rice and lomein were tasty. Nothing was too salty which was good since some places make everything overly salty. Overall, good food and good portions.“

“I had a taste for some carryout food so I decided to try this spot. I ordered fries with mumbo sauce and a cheeseburger. The mumbo sauce was good. The burger was good as well. I will be going back there again when I have a taste for carryout food.“

“Really enjoyed the shrimp & eggplant hotpot, and the garlic chicken, which came with snowpeas and mushrooms. Paired with a pot of jasmine tea and sesame balls for dessert. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem - so glad a friend recommended it.
Vegetarian options: Some really nice vegetarian options“

“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 am Chinese. I have eaten a lot of Chinese food in my life. This is excellent Chinese food and certainly the best I’ve had in DC proper thus far. The Kung pao chicken and house special soup in particular are spot on. No notes. Just order it“

“This place has definitely improved.It use to smell really bad but that has changed. The menu changed and for the better. The popcorn chicken is really good, as well as the orange and fish! The friend rice isn’t great. The mango chicken has way too much sauce. Regardless, I would definitely recommend this place.“

“I ordered 4 orders of chicken wings, rice wa good, and the French fries, but that Mumbo Sauce is terrible. I don’t know what to make of it. It’s like they threw so many ingredients together it’s throw off. Once I walked in and saw the cups of dark sauce that supposed to be Mumbo sauce, it was a let down. I had already ordered it my food so I went ahead and payed for it.“

“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!“

“Delicious wings. Came here twice. I ordered the honey j*** and honey lemon pepper wings which are delicious. I also ordered the fried rice. It tastes like Spanish rice in a box and it isn't that great. On my second visit, I played it safe and ordered fries. Very satisfied. This place is much better than America's Best Wings next door in both quality and taste.“

“5 stars for the beef noodle soup - soup is delicious and beef is so tender it falls apart when you pick it up with chopsticks.
Wontons are delicate and delicious, if a bit salty. The dumplings are alright, skin is a bit too thick. The pork burger is alright. Broccoli is a pass - seasoning is patchy and too vinegary. Would definitely come back for the noodles.“

“The soup is amazing!! The soup does have a hint of lemon flavor, with orzo rice, chunks of chicken, carrots, and other vegetables in it. The pork chop meal is really good, especially when Ms. Karimi submits my special request!! The orzo rice is extremely soft, very good, and flavorful. The roasted potatoes are dangerously good and seasoned well. On Gyro Wednesday the gyros are $6.00. The tzaiki sauce is excellent to the taste, and pairs very well on the Greek salad, pork chops, and best with the roasted garlic potatoes!!!
Parking: Pay extremely close to where you park, and when you park due to the varied parking restrictions in the city.“

“Their food is GREAT....atmosphere not so great. Pick your poison. I visit maybe once every other month. I can't be a frequent customer as I typically live a healthy lifestyle.
However, time to time is ok and the staff is decent to the customers!“

“This was probably the lightest Chinese food I've ever had. It tasted a bit like it was reduced sodium or something. Still flavorful, fresh, good portion, good price and service was good just... lighter.Hard to explain. But I recommend the shrimp and broccoli.No indoor dining only carry our.Funny I saw some kids actually come here and order the burger and fries. Colombia Heights is an interesting area.“

“This was the first time here, and it was nice, but this location is very, very small. It has a total of like 10 tables and 10 seats at the bar. The food and service were very good and fast. We had a selection of dumplings, noodle dishes, buns, noodle soups, and unlimited drinks. I want to try some of the other locations.“

“I wanted to share my thoughts on the food and service at ST⭐️R carryout is A1. Overall, I have to say that I love it. The quality of the food and the level of service are exceptional. However, I do have some concerns about the location. It seems to be a bit inconsistent. Some days it's great, but other times I find myself hesitating to go there. I think it's something worth considering.“

“The place is a bit of a dump and the lobby could be cleaned (shady neighborhood, not surprised), but the food was great, huge portions and very tasty, and the staff member behind the glass wall was very kind and friendly. I'd go back here for sure.“
