Restaurants in Capitol Heights

“When I first moved to Capitol Heights, I assumed that I would have to travel far for vegetarian/vegan food or make it myself. And how surprised was I that there was a vegan restaurant down the road! Each day the menu changes, so you could have a favorite every day of the week. And the portions! You can make SEVERAL meals out of one dinner. Is it cheap? NOPE! But something that's good for your body AND soul shouldn't be.”

“FISH NEVER GREASY”

“People l e that worked there were very friendly and quick to help. Pizza was fresh, lots of toppings, tasted excellent. Highly recommend, won't be disappointed”

“Zion was an amazing host. She made sure everybody's orders were correct and accurate. Came to check on us time to time. My family had a blast celebrating my little brother's 10th birthday. Zion allowed us to pick any dessert on the menu tablet for his birthday and it was taken off our bill. Left a big tip. Great food and service. My family will definitely be back. Great job guys.”

“Management … I’m just going say you need to ensure your servers do right by ALL customers … This is a tough economy for everyone. They cannot make sure their country men have a nice meal portion, and then don’t follow the same for every customer…. Thank you”

“This location is always great. The employees are always nice, food is always great and fresh, and The atmosphere is nice as well, whether it’s quiet or music playing, always good.”

“Memory lane. My old friend used to get food from here and share it with me. I didn't know that and didn't understand why she braved through the hood for this place until I left the DMV area. It's worth it. This was the first place that I was introduced to Chinese carryout food and mumbo sauce. Check this out: Mumbo sauce is a DIP for fried chicken wings and not a wet rub. The correct and best way is to dip your fried chicken wings in the mumbo sauce (like you dip your wings in ranch dressing). If you want to smother your wings in mumbo sauce, then that is your personal preference, but anyone or any place serving the wings to you already smothered in mumbo sauce is wrong. Mumbo sauce is pink and is supposed to come in a condiment cup (just like ranch dressing). Another thing: The wings here taste good on their own and better with mumbo sauce. Best wings in the DMV. Best mumbo sauce in the DMV. Best wings & mumbo sauce pairing in the DMV. I said it. I left the DMV years ago and there is no American Chinese carryout that compares to this place in my travels. Trust me, only NYC Chinese carryouts can dare compete. I only took off a star because of my ordering experience years ago. I brought my brother here to order carryout because I am not brave enough to go to the hood by myself, and the lady who took my order was rude, not nice, unfriendly, unwelcoming, the worst. It's as if I wasn't a human being. If I wasn't determined to have my brother taste the food (he agreed that it tasted really good), then I would have turned around and said forget it.”

“This is a local hidden gem! This is a carryout so you can not eat in. But when I tell you the food is delicious... it's delicious. This is one on those place you go to when you want to feel like you're eating home cooked food. I always go for the breakfast and it never disappoints. Jenny, the owner, is so kind and if you order from there more than once SHE REMEMBERS YOU!! Now that is the type of costumer service you want to get when you spending your coins! I definitely recommend this place. It's well worth the money!”

“Bags are not secured well enough to keep delivery person from eating or taking the entire fries order. Where's my refund!! One driver has spoiled extra tip for my future deliveries (I'm assuming delivery person took the fries because bag was greasy)😡”

“my wife is from South Carolina and she's a top-notch cook but this place was something different. the different blends of the spices and ingredients that they add to their food was breathtaking and I'll definitely eat there again when I come back. you have my heart and belly😋”

“I love this carryout!!! BEST MAMBO SAUCE EVER & the service has always been amazing, no matter how busy they are always so pleasant in person & on the phone. LOVE YALLL!!!!!!!”

“I just found out about this place on 1/20/2026, and had my first order with them on 1/21/26 and let me tell yall, the food is so good! There’s a bit of a wait since the food is made to order, but you won’t regret it🙂‍↔️ everything has great flavor and isn’t salty or anything of the sort, it’s all balanced so well! It was so good, I came back the next night on 1/22 for the oxtail bowl😂. Oxtail are tender to perfection, the cabbage and Rasta pasta sides are soooo good! Everything is a 20/10!”

“Best hot dogs around, great customer service. The staff is great and the food is delicious. Try the “Dog Father”!”

“Had breakfast at White Corner Restaurant this morning and their pancakes were fluffy and huge. The coffee was hot and they kept refilling it without me having to ask. My eggs came out exactly how I ordered them and the hash browns were crispy on the outside. Good spot for a weekend breakfast, wasn't too crowded either.”

“Authentic cuisine made with love! Great service. Awesome tacos and burritos. Garlic wings on point.

Parking: 2-4 spots

Kid-friendliness: Nothing crazy. Just a nice food spot with limited seating.”

“My daughter had a graduation cake from Sweet Tooth Cakes and Pastries. when I tell you this cake was delicious, light, flavorful and looked beautiful!! it was all of that and more!!! The cake actually made me happy!!! Thank you Sweet Tooth for adding more joy to an already joyful day!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜”

“Ordered online & received such beautiful packaging for my meal 🥰😋i’m a lover for aesthetics, the build-a-bowl made so nicely!! i just had to write a review! S/o to team for putting together my order very neatly 😊”

“I ordered my pizza for a later pick up. It was hot and ready when I got there at the time I said I would. The cashier showed it to me to make sure it was what I ordered. Everything was good and fresh.”

“Message to owner mr.dwayne rose bud this is the 4th time money has been stolen out ur carry out register larry recently told two blk male friends up by the church wall days ago how mouse gave him $1,00.00 off da back who knows if that's true mouse do defend Larry on all terms like as if they are married lovers I think larry tryin to cover that other cook,s ass not wanting him to get the bait Larry was seen three times at tobacco store at 8 p.m. days ago with blk older male standin by his car buyin handing over cash for weed u can smell the rise in da hallway of the weed smell it was very strong Larry don't care has ah no carring attitude”

“The food is usually pretty good here. The portion sizes have shrunk a little bit and the Mac n cheese could use some serious work. Overall, it's still pretty good.”

“Not gonna lie .. I’ve been reluctant on trying the food from this place for awhile now .. I’ve been living in this area of the dmv now for about almost 5 years now .. but long story short the vibe in this place is dope .. the customer service is great as well .. after I read some reviews I decided to try to combo Baltimore style yakmein .. and imma be honest I DO NOT understand the hype .. I don’t know if what I received is how it’s supposed to taste but it was OKAY .. I believe ordering it spicy probably would fill in for what it’s missing taste wise .. but overall that meal was cooked well .. I’m eager to the their Baltimore style yakmein options that do not have noddles .. I think the sauce and your choice of protein over rice is probably the better option for that type of cooking and flavoring .. I also ordered a steak and cheese egg roll .. I feel the egg roll was cooked too hard and lacked cheese within it .. it was kinda dry ., overall it wasn’t too bad .. and then lastly I ordered a shrimp fried rice lunch special .. to be honest I’ve had way better fried rice from other places but the way they make it here is okay .. not bad but will get you through a long day of starving if you’re down bad and can’t find another spot to get you out the way .. overall I do not think this places makes bad food even though my first experience wasn’t how I anticipated .. but I’m willing to give them more chances by experimenting with some of their menu items that are sort of unorthodox and unusual to be on at a Chinese carryout .. overall I wasn’t too pleased with my meal but it was okay .. I feel like place has some hidden gems an I cannot wait to figure out what other menu items are great ! It’s like I can tell this place has more to offer but I don’t know what to get yet ! My whole point about this review is please do not believe the hype .. everything is not what it seems with reviews .. if you want a real answer sometimes you have to take the risk and figure it out for yourself !”

“Great food and the service is always outstanding. If you are looking for great breakfast, I would recommend Lucky’s Grill!!!”

“Stopped in to kill time before my doctor's appointment. The man inside was extremely nice, and made sure I got exactly what I wanted on my sub. Is was nice to have someone ask if it was good before he wrapped my sub. The sub was really good. He was very friendly. If you're in the area please stop here.”

“Our waitress was awesome and the pepperoni 🍕 flat bread was really delicious”

“Great time celebrating with family.”

“Ashley is very knowledgeable and dedicated to bringing fresh and nutritious juice drinks to her clients. I would recommend everyone if they’re not juicing at home to start here!”

“Only fast food that has Mr. Pibb! Polite, courteous staff, no major pause in getting your order, including when you have special requests on contents (ie, no pickles).”

“If you’re in the area and looking for a quick, delicious breakfast or lunch, let me put you on to Young’s Carryout 👏🏾
This spot is one of the best little hole-in-the-wall gems you’ll find. Everything is cooked fresh to order, and baby… it shows. The French toast? 🔥 The bacon? Perfect. The salmon cakes? Don’t even get me started. And the grits are EVERYTHING.
What really makes it special though is the people. The staff is so friendly and welcoming—they actually take the time to get to know you. Come in a couple times and they’ll remember your order and how you like it. That kind of service is rare these days.
If you want a good, home-cooked breakfast without lifting a finger, this is your spot. Trust me—you will NOT be disappointed.
Go try it… and thank me later 😉”

“Good food, professional service and, the best Coco Bread in town!👌🏾💯”

“Ordered pizza and there was a slight miscommunication and I received a partial incorrect order. The staff was really great and made sure I left with the correct order without any issues. I appreciate them.”

“I ordered through uber eats delivery. The crabs were meaty and seasoned very well. The shrimp was overcooked and not deveined. The potato salad was horrible. If you need someone to teach your cook how to make it, I am willing to help you out. The fish and chicken platter was deceiving. It offered full wings but we got small wingettes instead. Overall, I would only order the crabs again from this establishment.”

“This is one of my favorite places when I do have taste for some carryout. They are always friendly and welcoming. Plus they have some of the best and my favorite mumbo sauce.”
