Excellent food and service. I recently went right after closing and the manager brought me soup and said not to worry about payment. They go way beyond a high standard of customer care! ?❤️

This restaurant deserves more customers. The authentic Shanghai cuisine is rarely found in the DMV region. I would highly recommend it.

A nice family restaurant. The food is very good here, especially if you order from the first two pages of the menu, authentic Chinese and the Shanghainess specialty dishes, you will be able to try some authentic dishes. Note that there are several delicious dishes that require you to order one day ahead since those take hours to prepare.

Food was great but service was up and down. Sometimes, it took 40 mins to get food.

We have been going pacific cafe for years. My American wife and native born children love cafe’s “real Chinese dishes like grandparents cooked”. They are the best Chinese restaurant in DC metro. We always order to go dishes for Chinese holidays. Their quantity is 2-3 times more than other restaurants’ dishes. We always take left over to eat for days. Strongly recommend this restaurant.

I've eaten here twice. I don't understand the praise. This is the worst Chinese Restaurant in the area.The service is extremely slow. I forgave this the first time because they were busy. The second time there was only one other couple at a table.I had the most tasteless Mongolian beef I've ever had on my first visit. On my second I had beef LoMein. It cost over $16. I could tell it wasn't fresh and had been reheated. It made me queasy as I ate it. My Wonton soup appetizer had just two wontons with a tasteless watery broth. They couldn't even add some chives. I tried their duck as well. Extremely dry, something that should never happen with duck. If you enjoy fried rice you'll definitely want to avoid this place as they won't substitute steamed rice. On top of all this the prices are $2-3 higher than other Chinese restaurants.I will never eat here again. There are so many better options nearby than this place. The only positive is the ambience.

After reading a so-called Shanghai foodie's high praise for this restaurant, he praised the authentic taste of Shanghai cuisine and went to try it. In fact, this is not the case. It is clearly noodles with pork ribs, named salt and pepper pork ribs. It is very different. The shrimps of walnut shrimp are hard and Tasteless, the large pieces of dough with moss strip fish fillets also had no moss strip flavor... I ordered six Shanghainese dishes, but none of them could be called real Shanghainese dishes. Foodies please don’t believe the misleading information online.
Tried a few dishes and appetizers. Sad to say they were saturated with oil and largely flavorless.

The taste of the fried fish fillet is very Shanghainese, the shredded beef with hot pepper reminds me to go back to Hunan, and the Yangzhou fried rice should be the best in DMV, worth coming again!
Best food and best staff
