Chinese Restaurants near Hillcrest Heights

“I ordered 10 buffalo wings and they gave me wings that were cooked earlier in the day and recooked them instead of cooking them fresh. I could not bite into the wings because they were so hard. I should have checked my food before pulling off.“

“Today my daughter birthday My first time with the family we loved it food was great thanks“

“Our waiter, Caleb, was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and the dishes were interesting and unique. We were a party of 7, sat outside and really enjoyed ourselves. The pacing of all the dishes coming out was perfect. The only downside was that there was a man with a really large dog seated right next to us and the dog barked and whined (so loudly we could not hear each other) and it smacked into our chairs repeatedly. Once the man left things improved and we had a great experience.“

“We had the portobello bao bun, pork dumpling, bbq duck, and little pot. Everything was delicious!“

“We got lucky and had lunch here during a day of tourism. Inexpensive and great food and boba. The cook (who was the only one working there as you can order with the ipad) was nice and the place was clean and cozy. We went at an off-peak time so we were able to sit at the counter but I imagine that during lunch rush it must mostly be for takeout as there are few seats. Also I don't think they had a bathroom as I looked around for one and didn't see it. It wasn't an emergency situation though so did not ask to use one.“

“The new space is super cute and the dumplings are just as tasty as ever! When we went, the vegetarians and meat-eaters in the group both loved "Livin' on the Vedge". Also super affordable and filling - 2 thumbs up!“

“Amazing food great bartender Oscar!!! A win is a win and i highly recommend!!! Ian the manager is a friend you didn’t know you would make!!“

“Been scouting this place for about 3 weeks for a birthday dinner. I called over a week in advance for a party of 7 - 13 people. They were able too accommodate and the food was GOOOOOD! That hotpot was smokin and I thought I choose a milder one but it was excellent in taste for me. Now this was the first time I have had it so don't come at me if it doesn't hit you taste buds the same.“

“The first experience was great and I plan to come back and try more with my girlfriend the music is a great vibe along with the atmosphere in general is calm and not too much noise I definitely recommend this place be careful it can be pricey.“

“❣️Wow, wonderfully delicious.
Had Starla as a waitress and she was simply such a gem, was very timely with everything. Sweetly explained the menu and gave incredible recommendations!
Because of her attentiveness I would 10/10 visit again.

The food was delicious, bubble tea flavors and pearls were fresh and simple. I would say it leans more toward an America flavor pallet depending on your selection but Im sure there are some sophisticated options if that's where your pallet tends to lean.

I got the chai latte light sugar&ice and my hubby greatly enjoyed Starla's PineappleMango suggestion. So yummy, so fun.

I love the bright decor and semi-exclusive dining options; certainly would love to meet the family here during an outing.

The bathroom was super clean and had a large mirror great for freshening up.

Certainly would recommend for DC visitors.

I got the Lucky dumpling back. Personal favorite of the bunch was the black Truffle so I know next visit which basket I'll lean more toward.

✨️BONUS: Their bowl, cups and utensil charger had a very elegant weight to them which was incredibly comforting and added a coziness to the experience.

All in all, great spot for mid-day nummies🥟🧋☺️👍✨️“

“fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back“

“This is another Peter Chang location - so if you are familiar with the DC dining scene, you can already guess: this place is fantastic. The decor makes it look a little fast casual, but the food is phenomenal. Possible the best mala (numbing spice) I have ever had.

Memorable, and incredible- spice fried fish, spicy wontons, scallion pancake, shrimp dumplings, soup.

Also good - BBQ Buns, soup dumplings“

“I had such an amazing experience, and I just have to give a special shoutout to Roxana for her incredible service. From the moment she introduced herself, she did it so warmly and beautifully that it immediately made me feel welcomed and comfortable.
What really stood out to me was how she spoke both languages so effortlessly, it honestly made me smile and reminded me of my home country, which meant a lot to me. She created such a positive and genuine connection that made the whole experience even more special.
Roxana made me feel great about myself and ensured I was comfortable the entire time. On top of that, the food was absolutely amazing, everything was so delicious! I truly loved this place and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!“

“Friendly and attentive staff! Had a few questions about some menu items and my waitress Lucy was quick to answer and give me some amazing suggestions. I ended up going with the sizzling bulgolgi. Was extremely delicious!! Will be coming back, thanks so much!“

“Their selection of lunch specials, with a beverage, checks the boxes for value and portion size. No frills service: order, pay (cash is king), take away or dine in.

The chicken with broccoli, with white rice was more than enough for lunch. The hot made-to-order broccoli tasted fresh and sweet; chicken was juicy and tender. I thought there was too much oyster sauce.

Next time, order light on sauce!

In DC, a good atmosphere indicator on whenever a Chinese restaurant has props with their chops is when I hear locals speak Chinese, with tourists, locals, and Americans. Four stars!“

“I discovered South China about 10+ years ago. The owners are friendly and offer quality guest service. I moved out of Delray a few years ago. I was in the area this weekend and stopped in to grab lunch. They smiled, remembered me and my regular order. I really enjoy this family owned business, it is absolutely worth a drive across town.“

“The food was very tasty and quality of service was excellent“

“Omg best place in dc will come again“

“Must GO! MUST EAT! Sooo GOOD! Will NOT disappoint! YOU WILL GO BACK, AGAIN and again and again!“

“Wonderful food and great dining experience ! One of my favorite restaurants !“

“Absolutely delicious food! I first came here six years ago for my husband’s birthday after hearing about the restaurant from a foodie. It’s an unpretentious spot with incredibly good food. We ordered 10+ different dishes that first time and loved everything, especially the dan dan noodles and the pork bun. Nothing can ever compare to their Dan Dan noodles no matter how many times we order them from different restaurants!

We moved far away after a few years, but when we came back to visit friends this month, this was the first restaurant we wanted to return to. The food was just as delicious as it was six years ago. Highly recommend!“

“I came from the zoo and wanted to sit down for some lunch. We got the Peking Duck and we’re not disappointed. Order a hot tea, the tea service is beautiful. We tried Beef and Vegetable Dumplings, they were juicy and rich, and earned a high recommendation. We were delighted we chose Han Palace it is beautiful and welcoming with superb service.“

“If you’re looking for consistently delicious Asian food in DC, Dumplings and Beyond is the place. Their dumplings are perfectly made—soft, flavorful, and packed with filling that keeps us coming back. The orange chicken is crispy with just the right balance of sweet and tangy, while the kung pao chicken delivers that satisfying kick of spice. The broccoli beef is tender, savory, and always fresh.

This is the only Asian restaurant we order from because every dish is reliably excellent. Dumplings and Beyond has earned our loyalty with food that never disappoints.“

“BEST LO MEIN I have had in a long long long time. Didn’t know it was possible to find a place that cooked it like this. Perfect texture, delicious. My favorite Chinese food place. Will be ordering at least every two weeks. Praise the chef.“

“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.“

“Best decision I made today was reconnecting to Chinese food again thanks to Eastern!! Not only are the deals and service amazing but the quality and taste of the food is phenomenal not to mention the quantity of the food is just mind blowing. I went for lunch and the first thing I noticed was how clean it was, I mean spick and span. As I walked up to pick up my food I was greeted with such kindness. I definitely will be coming here more now that I’m able to eat Chinese again!! Mind you this is Lunch size portion Hunan tofu with fried rice.“

“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!😘“

“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

“Good Hot Food, Prefer Cash, Hard to park but can across the street. Suggest visiting during day light. Extra charge for any additional condiments but they give you a heafty amount. Not an Eat in establishment but can sit in windowsill comfortably. My only go to Chinese Spot when tempted“

“Hhheeeyyyy FF. Dropped in for one thing and one thing only. Had a mad taste for a carryout steak and Cheese. This spot met my pilot. Hot, juicy, the extra mayo and onions complimented the steak and the soft roll. Fries were crisp and hot. This is an (RTS) Return to Spot.“

“Not only is every dish delicious, but the service at Isshin is so warm, so welcome and so lovely. Secret menu item is the handmade dumplings (they have two types so ask for these specifically). Their miso soup is very rich but not overly salty, which can be difficult to find, yet it is here daily and for a good price. I’m particularly in love with their udon noddles, which I get vegetarian with tofu, and the veggies are perfectly crisp. Their sushi rolls are fresh and I never get the seaweed burps. They know us when we walk in and make my wife and I feel like family. Become a regular, it’s worth it.“

“Yesterday was my husband and I first time actually ordering from this carryout. I was craving a steak and cheese and my husband reminded me of Jerry Chans, which save us a drive because usually we would go Uptown NW DC to order our steak and cheese subs. We drive pass Jerry Chans almost everyday, but what throws us off is the fact that there is always vagrants around that area.... Anyway we called in our order and when we arrived I introduced myself to a nice lady that works there name Jane. Very pleasant lady. Omg our steak and cheese subs where perfect and loaded with plenty of steak.... Finger licking good.. we definitely will be coming back to try other foods.“

“I ordered some wings for the Super Bowl.
Let me tell you. First thing first. Customer service was top notch. The lady looked out by taking my order even though they are closed on Sunday. Except for Catering orders.

Wings were on point. Definitely my go to spot.“

“Authentic, no-frills, all-flavor DC carry-out food, with fried chicken wings, original-style DC mambo sauce, fried rice with plenty of onions and bean sprouts, french fries made as you ask with salt, pepper, ketchup, a steak and cheese with seasoned meat and plenty of fillings, I prefer getting it with everything and hot peppers, and it was the nostalgic, savory taste I'd been looking for since loving in DC and moving to VA 10 years ago. This spot has great food. Make sure you have Zelle or cash, they don't take credit cards and there's an ATM inside.
I got a half steak and cheese woth everything on it plus hot peppers, an order of French fries with salt, pepper, ketchup, and 3 wings with fried rice with mambo sauce on everything. Plus I got an extra container of mambo sauce for dipping. It was less than $20. Wait time was maybe 10 minutes.“

“Delicious everything!!! I usually make my own tabouleh, but there’s is so great I get it from Muncheez. And the labne is the best. My daughter loves the shawarmas. Love the drinks too!!!“

“I went here before seeing a show at signature theater. The food was incredible. The garlic shrimp dumplings, which were packed with shrimp in a delicious dipping sauce. I also had the orangish chicken, which was a large portion, crispy, and delicious. The iced coffee was great too. Definitely going back!“

“The place is calm and the service is good they are very politely people but the only complain is that the food was better before I dont know if they had change the cookers or the recipes but lately I bought a wings with French fries and beef broccoli and shrimp lo mein so the rice of the beef broccoli which was for my wife was very dry hope the manager watch this message and solve this problem.“

“We liked this place and ordered vegetable fried rice and wings for pickup. Everything was very good, price was reasonable and the rice amount was ok for a large size order. Only thing I would say that they could have fried the rice little longer with little bit more soy sauce, then it could have been like authentic New York China Town style.“

“This location has good customer service and the food is good. The egg foo young was no longer a favorite because it was not good. You can tell when a good cook is no longer preparing the food in that kitchen in the restaurant. Now it is much better. Just visited 3 days ago.“

“Had soup dumplings, chicken dumplings, cabbage, cucumber salad, and braised pork belly. It was all delicious, and the ambience was a celebration of Chinese culture but not overdone. The background video of some Yunnan cooking show was very cute. Our server was super friendly and made us feel at home. We loved it.“

“We went to Washington, D.C., for the first time and enjoyed this beautiful city. We went to eat at some places, but one of our favorites is this place. A family restaurant with humble and kind attention. The food is so good. We went twice. If we visit this city again, we will come back to this nice place.“

“I loveeeeeeee hood stuff ! I’m a Philly girl and when in DC I needed some mumbo sauce and heard on the street the best place to try genuine mumbo sauce is a takeout place ! This food was so bomb ! Im a SPK on my platter kinda girl already but that salt pepper ketchup and mumbo sauce really took me to the next level! I would definitely go back through here and hit them up on a late night !“

“Awesome food and service, the food is as authentic Chinese as you can get.“

“So I’m very fussy about my Chinese food. I think it’s so strange that a city where you can find amazing cuisines from all over the world can’t do Chinese food correctly. This is the one exception!! Not only do they meet my expectations, they exceed them. Their food is done right and is always consistent. Please keep up the great food and service! Only small critique is I loved your homemade dumplings better :)“

“This place was so much fun it feels like you’re in the club but better because you get to pick and sing all your favorite songs. They offer good drink deals and great promotions for the karaoke rooms. Food was delicious too. Great atmosphere everyone looks like they’re having a great time, will definitely be coming back.“

“I've been a regular customer of Hunan Manor for many years. The food is always delicious and the owner and staff are always welcoming! The delivery service is quick. Although I have moved further away, Hunan Manor on Shenandoah Road is still my go-to Chinese restaurant. I am never disappointed.“

“The dish that I ordered was great!!!“

“I’ve been here about a dozen times and will gladly go back again. Like most places that have too many menu items, it’s impossible to expect everything to be good. I stick to things that are stir fried, namely their pork fried rice. I’ve tried most of the carryouts nearby and wonder chicken has the best fried rice. Also, in 2026, their combination platter, which comes with a stir fried dish, pork fried rice, and an egg roll, is only around $10. It’s hard to beat at that price.

The staff is very friendly and the orders are pretty quick. There aren’t too many places to sit, but it is a carry out after all, it’s kind of built into the name.“

“A+. Inexpensive and authentic. Was shocked it wasn’t packed on the 4th of July. So hard to find good Mongolian BBQ and this place didn’t disappoint.“

“I was browsing through Chinese places and I came across Lucky Star. I must say, that this place exceeded my expectations. In the past, Ive tried other Chinese places and the concerns I've had were the food isn't hot its always warm or cold and that the taste of the food decreased. So I gave lucky star a try and I got the Steak & Cheese sub with an order of fries. Upon receiving my food, the lady who is always at the counter is so kind and she greets you with a friendly attitude and she even recognizes returning customers which is also a plus. Also, the food is. fresh and hot when you receive it and the food even tastes delicious!. So, if you're looking for a chinese place to go with great food, I recommend Lucky Star.“
