“Love enjoying lunch and dinner here. I enjoy the staff and make sure you make reservations because the weekend evenings get pretty packed. Good food Good atmosphere Good staff Highly recommend“

“This is one of the best Chinese in the region. I am Chinese food lover and traveled around the globe even china shanghai where I experienced unbelievable taste even the fish I not fun of it. And also almost the same I found in Hamburg, Germany, so I can compare Kung Fu Sizzling to those in Germany. Everything is excellent and especially the servers are kind, friendly and respectful. You will not regret for your money you pay.“

“Food is amazing. My husband and I left with a full stomach. We got the combo for 2. It came with 2 rice bowls and 2 side dishes. We picked spicy flavor for our soup, fish and beef as proteins, and bean curd sticks and king oyster mushroom as toppings. For the 2 side dishes, we chose fried pork belly and housemade sticky rice cake. The flavor of the soup is bursting with flavor and put a smile on my face. Everything was delicious and I can't wait to come back. I will be dreaming of that delicious rice cake dipped in brown sugar syrup.

PS. Music is not too loud like other places so it's great to be able to talk to your company.“

“My husband and I have been here a couple of times now and the food we’ve tried never disappoints! Everything is delicious and for dishes that we thought were a bit too pricey, their generous portion definitely makes up for it! We especially love the fish dishes here. Great service too. One of our favorite spots whenever we’re in the area!“

“The noodle soup was so flavorful and was perfect! I had the signature dish Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup with thin noodles. The noodles are hand pulled and made fresh every day and you can tell by the excellent texture and flavor! My new favorite restaurant! Also we were honored by four songs excellently played on the baby grand piano. Thank you for a delightful dinner, perfect service, and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend Chopin Noodle House and look forward to trying more dishes on the menu. ❤“

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

“My wife and I are from southwest of China. I would say Chef Lee's Element makes the best and the most authentic southwest Chinese dishes in DC area. We've tried almost every dish and it never lets us down. For the service, I want to thank Micheal for his kind and wonderful service, he is always smiling and talkative and gives his nice recommendations of the dishes. We go there almost every week.“

“We came twice, one dining in, one take-out. We tried the specials (not on English menu): 什锦炒河粉three meat fried with veggies and wide rice noodles; 盐酥鸡便当fried popcorn chicken bento; 夜市炒花枝night market squid soup; 三文鱼炒饭salmon fried rice. The most recommended dish is the fried wide rice noodle, very good portion, good amount of protein and veggies. My second favorite goes to squid soup, comfort food, squid is fresh, good nutrition balance! It's good to have a restaurant offers family style food nearby.“

“Based this experience, I can only give a 'reluctant' 4-stars *only* because the ingredients used were really fresh. Past Peter Chang visits at other locations seem like the entrees were created for tourists and this theme seems to have permeated to this location as well. It's been a mystery on what the Peter Chang created cuisine is meant to celebrate since the Chinese entrees carry marketed Sichuan or Chengdu flavors that are very muted, lackluster, and just brand-name expensive.

What is carrying the 4-star is the use of very fresh ingredients which is an absolute must if a restaurant wants to survive in this super-affluent McLean neighborhood; otherwise, I would have assigned a 3-star rating. We ordered the Dry-spicy combo hot pot, Chengdu seafood with crispy rice, Dragon eggplang with garlic sauce, and Amish duck bone soup with pickled radish.

What made dinner enjoyable? ..... the highly considerate staff. Again, good staff service would be a must in this affluent McLean neighborhood. Other than fresh ingredients and considerate service, I can pass on visiting Peter Chang moving forward.

Why pass on Peter Chang for me? We ordered the most Sichuan/Chengu spicy entree and nothing was ma-la/chengdu/sichuan spicy at all (this was the biggest let down of the entire dinner). The eggplant was cloyingly, aggressively too sweet. The Amish duck soup was supremely salty. And the Chengdu seafood entree was only adequate. Now the plating is another awkward story. The plating for all dishes were not practical at all and the spoon utensil seems more for show than ladling any liquid at the bottom of the bowl or plate. The dry hot pot swiveled like a gryoscope whenever you are mixing ingredients to prevent burnt food at the bottom. The huge bowl for the Chengdu seafood had such a small base, it could tip at any moment. Come to think of it, the plating and dishware seem to be prioritized higher than the flavor of the food. On top of all this, the price for each entree is nose-bleed high for the lack of authenticity in the entree recipes. To add insult to injury, each bowl of white rice was billed separately and didn't come with ordered entrees.“

“I arrived at the new place without much expectations and happily I found a place if the atmosphere is very nice everything is clean and tidy. Pleasant music in the background. I ordered two dishes, one Dry Fried Eggplant and the other Sze Chianti Kung Pao chicken. Both dishes were very tasty. I really enjoyed sitting down. The service of the waiters was really fantastic, I'm sure I'll come again“

“The food and service was very good! Generous portion of food.“

“Food was big family style dishes. Chicken with hot dry peppers is a must. If you haven’t tried Sichuan chicken before and you like hot food then you definitely need to. Such a weird and cool experience. It’s spicy but in a different way.“
