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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Always really enjoy eating here and I’m confused why it isn’t packed! Dumplings are clearly homemade with wonderful chewy skin; the spice level options are perfect (and I love super spicy stuff); the cucumbers are the most flavorful I’ve ever had (I order them every time); meats are expertly cooked. Will be back regularly.“

“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!!“

“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“

“Randomly stumbled upon this place after looking for a spot to eat in Georgetown and it was delicious! We came from out of town and have to say this is one of the best meals we had on the trip. Sushi was fresh, service was excellent, definitely your “hole in the wall” type of place. Our server Darya was extremely kind and accommodating! I highly recommend stopping in here.“

“Excellent, efficient and clean establishment. Food was ready when I walked in to pick it up at 10-15 min after I placed the order. The Tejas BBQ brisket taste was fantastic. The SriPraPhai drunken noodles with tofu was so-so. Its taste profile was more like Pad Thai than drunken noodles I have had from prior restaurants, so would not get this again. The taste wasn't bad, but not what I expected. Overall, I would still return and try this food concept chain again (similar to a food court in a mall with many restaurant options but with a small pick up window and assembly room in the back).“

“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!“

“I placed a pick up order over the phone and staff was super nice and food was ready on time. The prices are also super reasonable for the amount of food you get. I’m going to give individuals ratings of everything I got below, but we ordered General Tsos, sweet-and-sour chicken and shrimp, shrimp egg foo young, beef and broccoli, combination lo mein, beef teriyaki sticks, egg rolls, crab cheese wontons, egg drop soup, and fried beef dumplings.

General Tsos: 4.5/5, had the exact flavor I’m looking for in this dish, but could have been a little spicier. They got a little soggy from the condensation, but still delicious.

Sweet and sour chicken and shrimp: 4/5, chicken and shrimp both had good flavor, but there were some pieces that were dry and hard like they were a bit old, but the softer pieces were really good and I like that they put the sauce on the side.

Shrimp egg foo young: 5/5, this was our first time trying this dish and we will definitely get it again. This had really good flavor and so did the gravy.

Beef and , the broccoli and meat were fine, but the sauce is missing something. It just didn’t have the flavor I’m used to and will not order again.

Combination lo mein: 5/5, pretty standard Chinese food lo mein but we had no issues with it and flavor was good.

Beef teriyaki sticks: 1/5, my mom really liked these, but I hated them. The flavor kind of reminds me of beef jerky, which is weird in a fresh meat item.

Egg rolls: 3/5, not the best I’ve had but passable. The taste is just a bit bland. They taste better dipped in the sweet and sour sauce.

Crab cheese wontons: 1/5, I already knew I wasn’t going to like them when I saw they were triangle shaped instead of the ones with the four points (iykyk). There was too much wonton and not enough filling in the filling itself had like no flavor.

Fried beef dumplings: 5/5, these were basically gyoza and flavor was pretty good.

Egg drop soup: 5/5, exactly the flavor I want in egg drop soup.

Although we didn’t love everything, the service, the prices, and the fact that we liked the majority of the items, I feel like they deserve five stars. Will definitely come back for my next Chinese food craving.“

“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!“

“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 !“

“Nice place,adjacent to the hotel. Servings were ample, service was really good. My only issue was everything came out so fast most of it was lukewarm by the time we got to it. Wound up taking some home with us. Prices were good but it added up fast. More of a family style sit down place.“

“Food was absolutely delicious here! We ordered pretty much everything in he menu but the standouts for us were the eggplant, pea shoots, and the cumin fish!

Service was also great. Our waiter was very pleasant and explained the menu so well to us. Even the drinks!“

“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.“

“This is my second time trying out CHIKO. First time I tried it at DuPont was several years ago and I had a great experience.

Overall, everything we ordered was really good. The lime cooler drink was especially refreshing and a great balance to the meal. One thing worth noting is that their “small plates” are actually quite generous in portion. The chilled noodles remain a standout for me!

I also tried the cumin lamb stir fry, which had great flavor, but it leaned a bit too heavy on the shallots for my taste. Still enjoyable overall.

If you have the option, I’d recommend going to DuPont location as it has better vibes and atmosphere. But this location might be more accessible.“

“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!😘“

“I've never been to this establishment before but the customer service was friendly and timely. There ddnt appear to be an eat-in option because it's a carryout restaurant. I ordered 2 veggi rolls for $5.25, they were large and not greasy. There's plenty of parking. Go!🌯“

“This is my third time eating their food. I ordered the 4 piece wings with fries & the spicy shrimp fried rice. The food stays hot for a long time, & the wings are cooked perfectly, though they could use just a little more of that light salt you usually get on carryout wings. The fries are decent, but the shrimp fried rice >>>
There’s shrimp in every bite, & the flavor is really good. I’ma order it every time. The lemonade is good too, sweet but good.“

“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“

“My new neighborhood go to place for Chinese food. I've been looking for a place since Tsim Yung closed on 12th Street a while back. I'm not a Chinese food connoisseur but this meets my test for good weekend comfort food with reasonable prices and good portions. Location is sketchy but the kitchen area looks remarkable clean and open for a fast food joint. Ordered pork fried rice twice and added Szechuan Beef on the second trip. They didn't disappoint. Would definitely recommend. Staff is friendly and efficient.“

“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!!!“

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

“First time visiting Wonder Cleveland Park as a tourist, and I wasn’t sure what to expect or how to order. John was really helpful and walked us through the different menus and the self-ordering setup. I liked that you can order from multiple restaurants all in one place, which makes it perfect for indecisive groups or people who all want different things. One person can get a salad, another can get a burger, and someone else can grab pizza, all in the same order. We tried the lime salt and Royal Greens, and it was a great experience overall.“

“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.“

“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

“My sister turned me on to this place, and let me say I was impressed! I ordered the steak and cheese egg roll and it was filling from beginning to end. I ordered the peppered steak only problem I had was that it had too many onions and green peppers, but it was still good! Also this is cleanest Chinese restaurant I’ve ever seen. I will be back“

“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.“

“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.“

“I hadn’t been here in forever and ended up meeting a friend for a quick lunch. The Singapore Noodles HIT and to get a nice cup of wonton soup for a $1 more? No brainer. Can’t beautiful the price for the quality and the lunch portion was perfect. Certainly adding it into the office lunch rotation!“

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Phenomenal service & food presentation. May (please forgive me if I’m misspelling) treated us with such hospitality & warmth. While I can understand how servicing a large group can be daunting, she just treated us so well. We came here for a work lunch & were absolutely impressed. Our dishes were fresh, flavorful, & presented beautifully. Easily our new favorite place in the neighborhood.

Thank you & many blessings to the Isshin team!“

“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.“

“Chinese takeout is quick and convenient, especially if you order ahead. The portions are generous, the employees are friendly, and the prices are fair for Chinese-American food. If you’re looking for a fast and reliable spot for Chinese food, this is one of the best options on Columbia Pike and in the Arlington area. There may be better Chinese restaurants outside Arlington, but for the area, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

“I’m only half-way through my meal and the service and food is so great that I felt the need to write a review. Seriously one of the best tasting Chinese restaurants that I have been to in Virginia and DC. It is very cozy in here too. I got the hot and sour soup, kung pao tofu, vegetable lo mein, and hot green tea. Shirley C took great care of me and the owner came out as well. Very welcoming.“

“I’ve patronized this place for many years and the food had been consistently delicious. For the last few months the food hadnt been that great but last night I stopped in and my order was amazing! Just like old times. Not sure what happened those last couple of times but I’ll be back again for takeout.“

“The best fried chicken ever, just like the kind I remember from my hometown. The food is delicious, reasonably priced, and the staff are incredibly kind and friendly. A great choice for any meal. I’ll definitely be trying their delivery next time!“

“The food is excellent and fast. Appreciate the hospitality a lot we’re good food.“

“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.“
