“I was greeted as I walked up to order my food. I receive my food. I was thank and she said have a good night. Service is always great and the food is great too. I always feel welcome and very well taken care of,when I place my order here. I Highly recommend this spot“
“This spot on H St Corridor is hands down my favorite. The drinks, service, and food consistently impress. The ambiance is wonderfully moody with dim lighting and great background music. I always opt for the vegan version of the beef noodles, which are consistently flavorful and delicious. The bartenders are not only friendly but also knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations. I appreciate that they maintain an accessible archive of past menus, allowing guests to order from a wide range of drink options. Despite its small size and the place sometimes getting crowded, outdoor seating and an extra bar on the back patio provide additional space.“
“This is intelligent and well thought-out food that is delivered with kindness and engagement. Truffle dumplings with a corn foam were genius. Terrific vegetarian drunken noodles. And silken tofu in a complex fermented black-bean broth that made me see through time. My wife's cocktail had a tiny touch of a Chinese cough syrup in it, which sounds funky and was, instead, kinda transcendent! We sat at the bar and watched the passionate precision of the kitchen. Bartender was super friendly. Great evening that we hope to repeat soon. Keep up the great work!!“
“We came in for lunch yesterday. Served was super helpful with recommendations! The rainbow soup dumplings was 2 of each of their soup dumplings which were all amazing! We also loved the cucumber in garlic sauce. My friend loved the Chongqing noodles! They are a nice vegetarian option with a tasty sauce served with boiled peanuts and a fried egg. We also had the spicy oil wontons. They were very good although I did end up dabbing some of the oil off. Looking forward to coming back and trying other things!!“
“Amazing location for private events. Staff was very professional and provided great service. We enjoyed the ability to have a customized menu with themed drink names and a great array of food options including passed appetizers and buffet style serving. Our guests loved the atmosphere and vibe of the venue. Thank you Bar Chinois for helping us have a successful event!“
“An interesting take on Chinese cuisine, definitely worth trying! Everything was delicious, the staff were friendly and professional…But including 22% service fee is ridiculous!!! Why don’t you just pay salaries to your staff, guys? It’s absolutely fine to include wages in to the prices - they are not that small, btw!PS Ribs and wings were awesome ??“
“Dim sum is brought out from the kitchen rather than served from steam carts going around the restaurant. As for the taste and quality, they depend on what item you order. I liked the bean curd roll and the shrimp stuffed tofu but the fried chive dumplings were gummy. Prices start at $5.25 per order and go up to over $10. The service was pleasant but weekends are extremely busy here.“
“I am working my way through the menu and got a delivery order for dinner - this time I tried a variety of vegetarian and meat dishes - I recommend starting off with a soup, the shrimp winton soup was delicate, comforting on a cold night. The crispy beef had great sauce but the beef did not stay crispy like I expected. Dan dan noodles were the perfect texture and temperature but didn't come with a sauce as pictured. The pan fried bao had rich pork filing, good texture and a crispy underside. Mapo tofu, again great flavor but I was expecting some texture to the dish besides the tender silky tofu. Excellent spice level.“
“Great food hall for a quick bite or to link with friends or family. A bar in center, with booths throughout dining area.Variety of Asian foods familiar and authentic cultural cuisine , great way to try something new in an open environment.“
“I had a random craving for Chinese one night so I took a leap of faith and tried China Cafe Carryout for the first time, due to its reviews and I was not disappointed.I ordered the orange chicken, white rice, and a egg roll and my cravings were well satisfied. They did not hold back on the portion size either. I had enough for dinner and lunch the next day. My only issue was they only accepted cash. As someone who doesn't carry cash, I became discouraged but strangely enough, they accepted CashApp so I was able to pay for my food. There was a ATM inside the restaurant also though I had no intention in using it. I highly recommend though! Just remember, if you don't have CashApp or aren't comfortable with using a random ATM, then take cash!“
“Absolutely delicious!!!! You will miss this gem if you don't look carefully...you go in through the back...when we walked eyes were on us because it was all Asian customers and they thought we were door dash ! We told them we would like to be seated, they said sit anywhere. We saw some amazing meals coming out the kitchen that I asked the server what somebody else had and that's what I ordered without disappointment!!! Deliciousness is all I can describe it as!!! The wife ordered Singapore noodles which she loved...this is one of the best Asian food spot I've had since coming to md! Give it a try and remember I told you so!!“
“Great food here. I've had the beef and chicken burgers, the knife-cut noodles with tofu, and the eggplant, potato and pepper noodles. Everything is delicious. It's a very no-frills environment inside, so don't expect anything fancy, but the food is excellent. Do be prepared to be tasting garlic all day after your meal.“
“Basebowl has a good number of options for some sort of noodle bowl or rice bowl. Wait staff might be the same as the ones at the bar depending on day and business. Great place to be whether it's nice and warm out or with some chilly temps.“
“About time I review CHIKO. They recently reopened Barracks Row location for inside dining, and I’m thrilled. I’ve been coming here pretty regularly since they opened back in 2017, and it’s definitely one of my favorite spots in DC. My favorite dishes are the brisket and confit duck fried rice, but everything on the menu is fantastic. If you see something new (and you will), give it a shot because they definitely put a lot of creative energy and care into their dishes.Oh yeah, and their take out bags are adorbs.“
“I've been looking for a good spot for the last two years and I think I found it. Food is good, customer service is great! I'm so happy that the chicken doesn't taste like rubber (like other places) and the food has flavor-I've really been missing out. I'm so happy and totally recommend anyone to come here. Great food!“
“Ok - so I've honestly turned my nose up at this place in recent years because it feels like people love it for the novelty (it's in a Days Inn motel) and not the food. But real talk, I ordered the cumin lamb, and I put in the notes: "I AM ASIAN PLEASE MAKE VERY SPICY" - and Panda Gourmet delivered. I was hurting, and it was so good. Their cumin lamb was so flavorful and sooooo spicy. It honestly rivals Bobs Shanghai in Rockville (which is very high praise because I'm obsessed with theirs). Panda Gourmet's mapo tofu is a lil weak, but next time, I'll put the same note on it too and maybe they'll kick it up a notch.“
“Coming from the West Coast, I didn't know there was a difference in how people do Chinese takeout/carry out. I usually wouldn't order wings and fries at a Chinese place but now I will be every time I can! The mambo sauce is a game changer! The wings and fries are crispy and delicious. We also got Lo Mein and you can't go wrong with that. They gave generous portions and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!“
“Had great lunch at this place. First I saw the sign and wondered what "Chinese burger" was. But when I looked at photos on Yelp, I learned that this place has noodles and rice bowls and I decided to go. You can order at the counter or on the touch screen by yourself. I did the latter. Tbh the restaurant name is misleading, because they really don't have burgers. They only had a sandwich with pork. Majority of the items on the menu seemed to be noodle dishes. After scrolling menu pages many times, I ordered braised pork rice bowl and dumplings. Food took about 15 minutes. But then they gave me a sandwich although I ordered a rice bowl. So I had to wait a little more while eating dumplings. Dumplings were nice and juicy. Hot. The sauce that came with them was good. The rice bowl was Ah-mazing. I added free toppings: onion, green pepper and cilantro. The eggs were the best. I should have paid for extra eggs. The braised pork was so flavorful and juicy. A lot of rice. O recommended it for anyone who's very hungry. It's a smaller restaurant, and not suitable for groups of 5 and more, but it is perfect for solo diners and small groups. Will go back.“
“Exactly what I want out of my casual Asian dining. Small place, unassuming, and old looking menu often mean the food is about to be great. We got the pork dumplings and pork buns. Both were packed with flavor. The chili sauce on the table was spicy enough to bring one single tear to my eye, perfect. Wish it wasn't cash only and that they had some music playing so it wasn't so quiet, but overall great experience and would recommend.“
“Visited DC for a few days and this place looked cool. Didn’t know what to expect but since it was cold we decided to try it out. We had the beef pull noodle and it was so good! Also it’s really nice to see them make the noodles in front of you. We also ate the pork soup dumplings, wonton soup, and brown sugar latte. Everything was good and warm! For sure want to try out the burger next time I’m in DC.“
“Solid Chinese takeout and carry out food in the downtown Silver Spring area! Did takeout from this restaurant the other for a late lunch and glad I did. The food was prepared fresh and delicious. I ordered a General Tso's Lunch Special and a Sweet n' Sour Soup. All were prepared perfect and tasted excellent. Food was ordered and ready right on time; roughly 10 minutes from the time I walked in and placed the order. Not sure with what the food would look like as this was my first time coming here, I was in for a pleasant surprise. The General Tso's Chicken was still piping hot even after driving back home for about 15 minutes. And, most of all not soggy or mushy!.... something I can't stand when ordering takeout!! The plate and servings were hefty and quite generous. The chicken was a mixed between white and dark meat. It was seasoned just right and so crispy, even after sitting in the container for my drive back home. The General Tso sauce was very tasty as well. My only gripe is that the dish comes with fried rice and I am not sure with what's up with most of the carryouts around the DMV, but a lot of them served this yellow - orangish fried rice that is not the most appealing to me, but I must honestly admit....it was dang good. Lol. I prefer a more wok-charred, brown fried rice over the neon fried rice served here and other places around the DMV. The Hot n' Sour soup gets a thumbs-up and good marks from my end. It was tangy, spicy, and sweet all roll into one. A delicious bowl of tofu, mushrooms, tamarind, and spices that aim to please. In all, Mandarin Restaurant is a solid option when in the Downtown Silver Spring Area and you are looking for something good to eat. The owner was very pleasant and he greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. His wife was very friendly as well and made sure I had all the proper fixings I needed to complete my dish; including my request for extra soy sauce and hot chili oil which complimented and elevated both dishes very well. If it wasn't for the neon orange looking fried rice, I probably would've given this place five stars as a first impression. Also, they could've served more broccoli in the dish than the two pieces that I received Lol -- see pic as receipts. The restaurant itself has limited seating but it appeared to be a popular takeout service with most that came in and patroned the place. A decent winner in my book and will definitely be back to try out other dishes.“
“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 ??“
“Loud, yes. But it is okay. A party atmosphere. You sit close to others, but everyone talking fully mitigates that. Fun atmosphere. Not for a quiet romantic dinner, yet the digs and accroutrements are top notch. Place is popular for 3-6 drinks with dinner!“
“I ordered 100 wing for my daughter 1st birthday party and when I mean the wing were bomb and Wendy was so kind and she had my food ready in timely matter and also she gave my baby girl a fresh slice of cheese cake thanks Wendy you and you staff keep up great “
“We ordered Sour Vegetable Fish Soup, Stir Fry Bok Choy, and Green Pepper Chicken (rice is complimentary) for three people and we were stuffed to the brim. Note there are not many space or tables around (only 3) to dine in at the restaurant. Hence we did take out instead. Great substitute for Szechuan Great Wall which unfortunately closed down a few weeks ago. This is the closest that one can come to authentic chinese food in the district. Would love to try other dishes in the future.“
“This is my absolute favorite spot in DC for Asian food! Their cooked dishes are very good and their Japanese sushi menu is amazing. It is very affordable and they give very generous portions! They are also so friendly here and the atmosphere is very cute“
“So tasty, what a gem!! I ordered the CURRY LAKSA NOODLE Soup, pictured. It can be all plant based - I asked for mushrooms, spinach and broccoli to be added/substituted for the chicken, and with no hesitation they accommodated me! I'm so pleased with this Union Station fast casual option, located on the second level. If you take the stairs opposite the Amtrak ticket counter, you'll find it with big open air seating. This dish also includes tofu, vegetables, rice sticks & egg noodle combination in a coconut curry broth, with bean sprouts, fresh! green beans, and corn. Amazing, and spicy warm. They have non spicy foods, too. I'll upload the current menu.“
“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.“
“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 love this place and the food is gread. I've been coming here since I was in high school. It's been a long time and I always ordered chicken wing. French fries or Fried Rice with Mayonnaise and ketchup. And the lady there takes detail of everyone of her customers orders. So if you like a regular she knows what you want when you get in there. Very friendly woman. 10 out of 10 recommend.“
“Definitely a no frills spot but our service was great and the food was decent. We unfortunately came right after the lunch special time but it was still pretty good. Got the tofu and vegetables with rice. It wasn’t super sweet like some dishes like this tend to be which I really enjoyed. Definitely want to try some of the rest of their menu. It’s not really meant for dine in but we ate there with our containers.The mooncakes look delicious, definitely want to go back for those!“
“Damn good Chinese food. Local spot too! All the food I've ever ordered from here was not only fresh, but exceptionally great portions. Highly recommend their vegetable eggs rolls & their General Tso chicken. You won't be disappointed!“
“This is my 1st time at Danny’s. I’ve always driven past it but would say it’s a nice hole in the wall kind of place. I couldn’t be more pleased with their service. They were very friendly, provided quick service and great portions of food at a reasonable price. I has their General Tso’s Chicken and a steak and cheese egg roll. It did not disappoint! I will definitely be coming back to try other items on their menu.“
“Wow!! Absolutely delicious food! I don’t usually have high expectations with unlimited dimsum, so we were pleasantly surprised! The food quality was very good, and so tasty. Not watered down American dimsum, tasted like authentic Hong Kong style cooking! I highly recommend the panfried seafood noodles, roast pork buns, roast bbq pork, snow peas, and duck ? Our server Chen was super attentive, timing all our dishes right when we were ready for the next round, very amiable, and gave overall great customer service! The place is on the small side, but is very tastefully decorated. Can’t wait to go back!Kid-friendliness: They have reduced prices for kids.“
“I've been going to them for years at the Landover Road location. I wanted to try out this new one. I got the shrimp egg foo young. It's was cooked to order and tasted fresh. Yes the location is in a rough area, but you can see the kitchen from the window and it appears clean inside. It's worth it if you like Chinese cuisine. They have pleasant customers services and quick.“
“Eastern Carryout is a true gem in the DMV area, offering the finest Chinese cuisine I've ever tasted. The food here is nothing short of extraordinary, with each dish bursting with flavor and freshness. From classics like General Tso's chicken to more adventurous options like Szechuan shrimp, every bite is a delight. What truly sets Eastern Carryout apart, though, is Angela's exceptional customer service. Her warm and knowledgeable approach made the dining experience truly memorable. Angela's dedication to ensuring a perfect meal reflects the restaurant's commitment to excellence. I highly recommend Eastern Carryout for an unforgettable culinary journey in the DMV.“
“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.“
“I love Chinese food but I'm picky with the fried rice. I can say this fried rice lives up to my standards and I really enjoyed my meal. The only reason I'm rating them 4 stars is because of the Crab Rangoon it was a little too sweet for my liking. Other than that my wings were tasty, and so was the sweet and sour chicken. I would recommend and will return! Food was also ready very quickly!“
“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.“
“placed an order online & the food was ready in about 15 mins. the guy that was working that night was friendly. the steak & cheese egg rolls were okay but a little dry. they would be perfect if they came with some kind of sauce to dip them in. the orange chicken was flavorful. the crab rangoons & shrimp fried rice were 10/10. i would definitely order from here again.“
“Food was fresh, not too salty or saturated with sauce, which is how I like it. Customer service was good over the phone and in person. The kitchen was not overly cluttered with stuff and it looked clean. I will be going back. I got to see how they cook their general tso chicken. I hope it has more chicken inside and less batter.“
“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!“
“I started working in this area 4 years ago and I was searching for a carryout that delivers. At the time I was looking for the best steak n cheese. And it was so good.Crab Sticks very good. never over cooked. Highly surprised but I Now Love Crab Ragoon . I don't even know the original authentic taste of Crab Ragoon but Kenny's taste soo good. Chicken Terk. On the Stick. ?.Food Be Hot When They Get Here And Everything Be In the Bag.They be sending me text for discounts. Cool“
“Really good Chinese wasn’t a long wait very patient on the phone when we called in the order. I ordered about $130 worth of food so that was a plus. We asked for certain things to made specifically and everything came as ordered. Very impressed would highly recommend.“
“Ok now this is the greatest Chinese restaurant in the DMV area. I have lived in the DMV pretty much my entire life & have eaten at dozens of Chinese restaurants and I still say that Jacky Chans is the best. Been coming to this spot almost 20 years now & it is STILL top notch. The French Fries alone will tell you about the quality of food here. Make sure you get the chicken wings with french fries and add salt pepper & mumbo sauce on everything. This is the classic that everyone should start out with. A few of the other amazing things on the menu consists of Chicken Sandwich Jumbo Cheeseburger with bacon Steak & Cheese 10 piece nuggets General Tsos Chicken Beef & Broccoli & Hunan Shrimp Best Chinese restaurant, don't forget it“
“Excellent!! Finally found a good Asian restaurant in the area. Everything we ordered was a 10/10. Sweet and sour chicken and white meat orange chicken were the best. Huge selection, and it was finished fast. Place was also packed with people who ordered to-go, so clearly it’s the best spot in town. Loved it!!“
“Very solid Chinese takeout. The customer service was great and delivery was quick. I thought the food was good and the price reasonable for a causal, quick, Chinese meal when you don’t feel like leaving the house. It’s my go to for that scenario.“
“I rarely write reviews but I have to give this place credit. They have really good food. I'm vegetarian so I usually get the Tofu dishes. There are no weird aftertaste or smells like the food from some of the other carry outs in the area. The vegetables are fresh and actually taste like vegetables. Lol. The cashier is isn't rude. I highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area.“
“Solid Chinese food. Yes, everything in the world is more expensive now...so choose wisely! You will have to meet the delivery lady at her vehicle. She's a sweetheart and makes sure your food is as fresh as possible. Right now, only Chinese food I will pay for.“
“I am not sure if they have been reading their reviews or just decided to upgrade, but the food, service, prices and quantity has been worth every visit. Even when I took a chance and ordered items I never eat, they were spot on. Consistently great food. They slap.“
