50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Morningside

“Had a taste for chicken wings. It was good and crispy. The teller was nice but he was so into his phone that he was sitting behind the counter on the phone. I couldn't see him and he couldn't see the people come in. The other worker told him we were waiting and that's when we saw he was right there and when he came in view he had to get off the phone. It was decent but could be cleaned better or a face lift“

“You know you’re going to have good food when the servers get excited about your menu decisions. Everything was absolutely wonderful. We got to sit at the bar with a direct view of the kitchen. I don’t know if the octopus or the truffle dumpling was my favorite, but I know I’m getting both when I go back. The whole fried snapper had a delicious light breading. The duck noodles were tasty too; I will probably try to get it spicier next time. I’ll likely be back in a couple of weeks. I’m still thinking about the food. Also, this husband-wife team perfected my experience by ensuring such excellent service. They need to teach a workshop to other restauranteurs.“

“Excellent staff & fun atmosphere“

“fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back“

“Love this place! Happened upon it when I worked close by and went twice in one 3 days! The food is delicious, the ambiance is great, and their little server robot is adorable. The pork soup dumplings were the best I've had since returning to the states. Incredibly rich and meaty! Definitely check this place out!“

“Admittedly I’m inflating my rating because it’s hard to find good, not overly Western fusion-ed, Asian food in DC. I wouldn’t (and can’t) go anywhere else for dry pot and veg mapo tofu. Didn’t care for the dumplings I’ve tried so far but I will definitely continue working my way through the menu. I very much appreciate that this place exists on H St!“

“Omg best place in dc will come again“

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

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

“Finally found my Chinese spot! From VA to MD, this is the BEST Chinese food I’ve had. Everything was fresh and hot! Prep time was quick, they were friendly even though they were busy with a slew of call in orders and pickups.

Tried the general tso, shrimp fried rice, fries, spring rolls and wings plus the blue lemonade. Everything was delicious and the price point is great as well!

I can’t wait to get back and try more of their menu.“

“Food is always good! Very clean establishment (especially for a carry-out)

My favorites are the Shrimp and Broccoli, General Tso Shrimp and Crab Ragoons.

In addition I’ve only had the Orange chicken, beef and broccoli, shrimp fried rice, shrimp lomein, and sweet and sour chicken which were all good.“

“General tso's chicken was actually crispy. For once, I ate the entire chicken with broccoli dinner combo. Perhaps the best chinese-american restaurant for the area, but that standard varies with your taste, sauce preference, spiciness, etc ??‍♀️“

“I had a taste for some carryout food so I decided to try this spot. I ordered fries with mumbo sauce and a cheeseburger. The mumbo sauce was good. The burger was good as well. I will be going back there again when I have a taste for carryout food.“

“I think this place needs higher stars. We're visiting from Florida and made our way to Chinatown and were looking for a decent place to eat. The food and service was excellent. Better than I expected. We ate the curry chicken which tasted like real curry. Sesame chicken was fresh and flavorful. The food came out quickly. I highly recommend this place.“

“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

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

“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.“

“Really enjoyed the shrimp & eggplant hotpot, and the garlic chicken, which came with snowpeas and mushrooms. Paired with a pot of jasmine tea and sesame balls for dessert. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem - so glad a friend recommended it.

Vegetarian options: Some really nice vegetarian options“

“Takeout only. Cash only. You can call ahead to place a pickup order. Wide variety of food options. It's delicious, great size portions, and the prices aren't bad. This is the only Chinese food I eat within the DMV, I will, and I have traveled over an hour to get food from them.“

“Kenny’s is a really solid carry out. The food is good. Not a ton of space to sit, which is typical of most Chinese food spots in this region. What stands out most about Kenny’s is the service. Unlike others, they don’t treat their customers like criminals, or like they’re afraid of us. The door to the back area is frequently opened. The employees greet me with a smile every time and ask me how my day is going. They remember me. They’re really kind and respectful, and as a black man, it’s rare to get that kind of service at a carry out. They usually just yell and poke food through bullet proof glass like they’re feeding sharks. It’s great to be treated like a fellow human being. I recommend the donuts. They’re super addictive!“

“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.“

“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 ??“

“Every time I order from here whether it’s pepper steak, lo mein,shrimp fry rice or a steak and cheese Ming has made sure that my dining experience for takeout is amazing. Thank God this local restaurant is here to service us for our takeout needs. Highly recommend.“

“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 am Chinese. I have eaten a lot of Chinese food in my life. This is excellent Chinese food and certainly the best I’ve had in DC proper thus far. The Kung pao chicken and house special soup in particular are spot on. No notes. Just order it“

“The place is a bit of a dump and the lobby could be cleaned (shady neighborhood, not surprised), but the food was great, huge portions and very tasty, and the staff member behind the glass wall was very kind and friendly. I'd go back here for sure.“

“I ordered 4 orders of chicken wings, rice wa good, and the French fries, but that Mumbo Sauce is terrible. I don’t know what to make of it. It’s like they threw so many ingredients together it’s throw off. Once I walked in and saw the cups of dark sauce that supposed to be Mumbo sauce, it was a let down. I had already ordered it my food so I went ahead and payed for it.“

“This place has definitely improved.It use to smell really bad but that has changed. The menu changed and for the better. The popcorn chicken is really good, as well as the orange and fish! The friend rice isn’t great. The mango chicken has way too much sauce. Regardless, I would definitely recommend this place.“

“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!“

“Delicious wings. Came here twice. I ordered the honey j*** and honey lemon pepper wings which are delicious. I also ordered the fried rice. It tastes like Spanish rice in a box and it isn't that great. On my second visit, I played it safe and ordered fries. Very satisfied. This place is much better than America's Best Wings next door in both quality and taste.“

“Do you do shipments? Canada needs some Mumbo Sauce!!! And some Cheese Steak Eggrolls STAT“

“Good food“

“the best.. all love DC Print KING..“

“I’ve visited many Chinese restaurants in DC over the years, but one spot stands out above the rest. For a project I’ve been working on, I’ve had the opportunity to visit a small, family-owned establishment run by a dedicated couple. Their commitment to cleanliness and high standards in their kitchen is truly remarkable, setting them apart in an industry where standards can sometimes vary.

Speaking with patrons, I’ve learned that many have been loyal customers for over 18 years—a testament to the consistency and quality of this restaurant. Everyone raves about how fresh and clean the food is, and how the owner, especially, goes above and beyond to help her regulars, all while keeping prices affordable.

Everything I’ve tried from the menu has been outstanding, from the perfectly cooked chicken wings—a staple in DC—to the flavorful chow mein and fried rice. Every dish reflects the care and attention they put into their craft.

This is more than just a restaurant—it’s a gem worth recognizing for its excellent food, warm hospitality, and unwavering commitment to its customers.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp no stairs or anything really easy accessible“

“Very clean Panda Express! I was very happy to walk in as it felt like a vibrant and well run Panda Express! The team members were working diligently keeping the kitchen and front of house clean, while also looking like they all enjoyed each other's company! That really shows in the service as it's just a more positive atmosphere!I came in for the original orange chicken bowl, and nothing wrong with it. It's the classic orange chicken I've grown up knowing and LOVING!“

“5 stars for the beef noodle soup - soup is delicious and beef is so tender it falls apart when you pick it up with chopsticks.

Wontons are delicate and delicious, if a bit salty. The dumplings are alright, skin is a bit too thick. The pork burger is alright. Broccoli is a pass - seasoning is patchy and too vinegary. Would definitely come back for the noodles.“

“Best chineses restaurant around. Food is ALWAYS good. Highly recommended.“

“The soup is amazing!! The soup does have a hint of lemon flavor, with orzo rice, chunks of chicken, carrots, and other vegetables in it. The pork chop meal is really good, especially when Ms. Karimi submits my special request!! The orzo rice is extremely soft, very good, and flavorful. The roasted potatoes are dangerously good and seasoned well. On Gyro Wednesday the gyros are $6.00. The tzaiki sauce is excellent to the taste, and pairs very well on the Greek salad, pork chops, and best with the roasted garlic potatoes!!!

Parking: Pay extremely close to where you park, and when you park due to the varied parking restrictions in the city.“

“*New owners September 2022**First, this place is CLEAN. It smells clean and looks clean. The staff is really friendly and attentative. The food is good but expensive for that I got. I got seafood mac and cheese $15 and not much seafood or seafood taste but it was tasty. I came at 5:30 pm on a Friday. Not many people here at this time. I hope they get good business later on in the day.“

“Their food is GREAT....atmosphere not so great. Pick your poison. I visit maybe once every other month. I can't be a frequent customer as I typically live a healthy lifestyle.
However, time to time is ok and the staff is decent to the customers!“

“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.“

“This was the first time here, and it was nice, but this location is very, very small. It has a total of like 10 tables and 10 seats at the bar. The food and service were very good and fast. We had a selection of dumplings, noodle dishes, buns, noodle soups, and unlimited drinks. I want to try some of the other locations.“

“Amazing dumplings. Chicken and ginger were great. Takes a little longer since they make them to order. Worth the wait. Normally it is busy, but no line today.

Seating in the space minimal, but rooftop of Union market gives more space.

Parking: Park in the neighborhood and walk. Parking lot can be full.“

“Wow! We got lo mein, chicken wings and mixed vegetables. Lo mein tastes like it did in the 90's. Last year, I had a sub. This is one establishment where the flavors never change. If you are familiar with the area, then you know what I'm talking about.“

“Finally tried them for the first time and I wasn’t disappointed. Quickly has become a favorite food was hot and fresh and delicious I have tried a few different places in the area none can hold a candle and customer services was amazing will definitely be back!“

“Pretty decent food if you're alright with most stuff being fried. Food is real quick and tasty. Lunch specials offered but personally I would get a dinner with a side of fried rice and get 2x as much food for only a couple bucks more. I was surprised by how good the crab sticks were! Only downside is you might get harassed by some of the people outside or hanging out inside. Staff is very friendly.“

“Great food even better service love this place try it real mumbo sauce is here

Parking: Free parking with a very large area to par a convenience store slash/Liquor store few doors down and a Daycare in this parking lot

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level wide door for a wheelchair can enter without a effort really“

“Visited Philippe's this past Saturday night and was immediately greeted with such warmth. Andrea made my old fashion to perfection and she was willing to help with anything we needed. We didn't want much to eat so we just got the calamari 9/10, the veggie lettuce wrap 9/10 and the beef lettuce wrap 10/10. When Andrea left for the night, Ponce picked up right where she left off and took great care of us. We later sparked a conversation of the manager George and Sadi, who were both very welcoming. I look forward to more late nights, happy hours and dinners with the girls here at Philippe's at the Wharf!“

“Best steak and cheese. I live in Alexandria, Va, I can not seem to find any good steak and cheeses out there. I’ll take that trip across that bridge any day for this sub! Delicious!

Parking: Regular shopping center parking. It is a busy one though“

“Great spot in DC, the food is very tasty, well priced and the portions are massive! The food is prepared to order very quickly - you can see the kitchen and the chefs at work. The food was eaten by us within 20mins of ordering making it a perfect meal before the train.“
