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.“

“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.“

“I love these soup dumplings! We get the frozen ones to have on hand all the time and the fresh ones are a delicious snack when you’re there.

You have to order on your own and take a number and then it’s in the back of the market which is why I’m giving 4 stars for service and atmosphere but definitely try these!!“

“Soupy Dumpling & Fancy Cuppa is my new go-to spot for comfort food. The soup dumplings are perfectly juicy and flavorful, the spicy beef noodle soup has a rich, satisfying broth with just the right kick, and the mango bubble tea is refreshing and not overly sweet. Everything tastes fresh and made with care. The place is cozy, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. Definitely worth a visit! Oh they have robots running around so can be fun with kids.“

“fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back“

“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!“

“Such a nice place right at the start of china town. The sushi is so fresh, recommend the salmon roll, salmon avocado and tuna avocado. The crispy tuna rice was so yummy. Miso soup always hits the spot, the chicken teriyaki was also yummy. The prices are so good for happy hour. Perfect lunch spot!“

“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.“

“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“

“We were on our trip to DC. By chance I pulled into the parking lot to check GPS. The wife suggested we grab a quick bite. The food was very decent. The waitress was not rude, but not polite either. Maybe that’s the thing with Chinese, we are not warm to our own kind.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ??‍♀️“

“It’s a staple on my list of comfort places to go. I usually deal with Stephanie and shes always courteous. The food is also usually consistently good.

Came in today and my order included 5 wings split. Tina made it a meal and I didn’t notice till I got home. There was a bit of a misunderstanding when I called in regarding it but she took my name and number and will provide a credit next time I’m in so that was resolved. This review is to keep them accountable for the next time I’m in the restaurant since I don’t know when that’ll be next.

Also, the place is REALLY clean. Love that for all of us“

“Panda Cafe is the only Chinese restaurant I go to—and for good reason! The food is always hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious😋. The staff are incredibly kind and polite, and the service is impressively fast. The restaurant is clean, and they package everything so well for takeout. I genuinely love this place. Thank you for the amazing service and consistently great food! I used to live 3 min away from here, now I live about 25min away but I still always come here💙!“

“I love this place. No it doesn’t have the best ambiance being in a strip mall and the interior probably needs work. But they aren’t selling a dining experience, they are essentially takeout only which means they are selling the food.

The food is solid. I am a very picky eater, and I’ve returned to this place many times. It’s authentic and flavorful. They also give you large portions and they are not expensive. I used to drive to Columbia just for Singapore noodles because I didn’t know where else to get them done well.

So far I’ve had the singapore noodle, general tso, combo rice, and steak and cheese sandwich. i really enjoyed that steak and cheese! but i don’t like crinkle fries which is what they serve.

I’m so glad ive found local takeout that is GOOD! the woman who works at the front is very friendly and professional. I will keep going back.“

“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.“

“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 dish that I ordered was great!!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“If you’re looking for the best takeout in the DMV, this spot is it! Their mumbo sauce is hands down some of the best in the area—perfectly sweet, tangy, and packed with flavor. The fried chicken is crispy, well-seasoned, and pairs perfectly with the sauce.
I also tried the General Tso’s chicken, and it did not disappoint. Unlike some places where the chicken is overcooked and chewy, theirs was tender, juicy, and coated in just the right amount of sauce. Every bite had the perfect balance of crunch and flavor.
Whether you’re craving classic carryout flavors or just want to experience top-tier mumbo sauce, this place delivers. Fast service, great portions, and food that hits every time—definitely a go-to takeout spot in the DMV!“

“My favorite part about this experience was the karaoke had every song you could imagine, the rooms were sizable, and the drinks were relatively affordable we had a group of perhaps 12 and the room was able to be split amongst all of us. Reserve in advance!“

“I often take my friends to this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The the food there is delicious and the crew is generous and cooperative. Every time we go to this place we enjoy a pleasant time. I warmly recommend this restaurant.“

“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

“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.“

“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“

“The place is just a long and narrow people with two employees. You order on a screen and wait. There are zero chairs or ambiance but the food is DELICIOUS. I would say the dumplings are on par with what we get from Rockville. Really, really good food.“

“New location. Food was great. The dumpling sampler was a nice way to taste all the available flavors. I also got the beef noodle soup, it was great but wish they allowed modifications. I would have preferred it with chicken. The honey lemonade was spot on.“

“This place is so fun if you love a variety of Asian foods, and this evening I happened to walk in on a fantastic live jazz band playing by the bar. Last time, we had Korean tacos and tempura, this time I’m having croffles, miso soup, and spaghetti. (I know it’s weird but it’s all so delicious)“

“I ordered on UberEats yesterday after seeing a TikTok review on them. 10/10 would recommend. I ordered 4wings with mumbo sauce, shrimp egg roll, and shrimp and broccoli. Everything was bomb. Best mumbo sauce in the city hands down. I could tell by the color it was going to be fire! Wings were seasoned and good. Shrimp and broccoli was torch. Shrimp egg roll actually had a nice amount of shrimp. Everything was so goood. Only carry out I’m going to from now on.“

“This was some of the best friend chicken I’ve ever had.

I came here try the a chicken w/Mumbo sauce.
It took a few days but Kenny’s ended up being the best of the best of the best of the best.
The chicken is perfectly cooked and the sauce is great.
The other spots overcook the chicken or the sauce is just sweet and sour sauce.“

“Got wings and fries with extra mumbo on everything and sauce on the side. She opened the platter in front of me and put the sauce on the hot wings and fries in front of me so I could see it was extra. Crispy fries crispy chicken mild mumbo that’s not super sweet and it’s actually mumbo and not sweet and sour sauce. and not watery at all. Will definitely be going back.“

“General Taos chicken is delicious. Sweet and sour chicken was great. The wings are crispy diner wings, not Asian fusion like you’d expect but still good. Had pan fried chicken dumplings (EXCELLENT), shrimp fried rice, and steamed shrimp dumplings. Also the drinks were strong, first time having a blueberry margarita and I highly recommend. Wish they had egg rolls and not just spring rolls. Atmosphere could be better, maybe try dimming the lights? But pretty no-nonsense and straight forward overall including decent service. Def will be adding this to the rotation“

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

“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“

“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.“

“To go order large Shrimp Egg Fu Yung with Xtra onions and bean sprouts. When I tell y'all that I tasted one onion and no bean sprout! That's exactly what I tasted zippo! Basically those two things missing makes this dish very bland!“

“Place was busy, food is good-combination rice was yummy!! Beef broccoli good- not the best I’ve had but certainly good and beef seemed fresh- small place a bit of a wait time but staff was nice, I was offered a free soda for my wait. Over all 4/5 and wontons were delicious def recommend! Good price point as well and portions :)“

“On my way into DC, I got takeout from Panda Express. On the way back home, I stopped at Wok-A-Holic in Union Station. The latter was decidedly much better—Wok-A-Holic’s orange chicken and broccoli chicken were far superior to Panda’s serviceable but bland orange chicken and broccoli beef. The fried rice was just okay, but overall I was pretty satisfied with the quality of my quick takeout meal.“

“My husband said best shrimp Singapore noodles he had . Not dried out ??“

“I absolutely love Bonkers! I keep coming back for the cold noodles and wontons! I agree the Chinese burgers fall short of their potential but just get anything else on the menu! Very authentic feel and smell to a comparable spot in China. Definitely a place i could eat at everyday. Love that dc is finally getting authentic Chinese in Chinatown!“

“I love Goodies🩷 The food is always fresh and down right delicious goodness gracious I live at least 5 mins away and they're my go to everytime🩷 I truly recommend the shrimp egg foo young the gravy is delicious and the chicken wings are always bomb🩷 I'm ordering today soon as they on at 11:30!!!!“

“Always a good meal and the homemade soup, as good as grandma’s. Staff is super nice!“

“the best.. all love DC Print KING..“
