50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Riverdale Park

“My go to chinese carryout place. Best place for chicken wings or other chicken pieces to eat as well and the fried rice. I tried fried rice from dozens of other carryouts and nothing comes close to their rice. Steak and cheese is the best and others dishes are great as well. Only problem is it's cash only other then that food is great.Btw ask for the hot sauce if you get fried chicken. The sauce is strong but goes well with the chicken!“

“Great food, great price, and generous serving sizes! Would definitely eat there again.:)“

“The food is delicious, I've found. I am very particular with how I need my food prepared ( I cant have salt or pepper) and they are ALWAYS accommodating when both cooking and preparing the food afterwards.

My ONLY reason for editing my review from 5 stars to 4 is because they no longer deliver to my home or accept debit card orders over the phone, so now I must now ask others if they can pick up my order on their way to visit me and it's rude to eat in front of guests, so I can no longer enjoy their delicious food except once in a blue moon.“

“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.“

“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🥟🧋☺️👍✨️“

“This is definitely my new go-to Chinese spot.

I submitted a large take out for my brothers birthday dinner and knew this spot was fire when they called to ask for clarification for my order. We ordered a two general tso chicken combination platter with fried rice, mei fun (thin noodles) with shrimp and also another one with chicken, general tso tofu combination platter and additional sides (fries + vegetable fried rice). I personally ate the chicken mei fun and the food was so good I forgot to get a picture. It was so flavorful and addicting. I added a bit of their chili oil on top and it was the perfect level of spicy that complimented my food. I spent about $108 for all our food which isn’t bad to serve 7 people.

I really like this spot and imma come back and try other items.“

“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!“

“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“

“Had a really great experience here! The food was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and had a welcoming vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we walked in. Definitely a spot I’d come back to again and recommend to others looking for good Halal Chinese food and great service!“

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

“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.“

“Love this hidden gem. Food is great every time.“

“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!“

“Mostly self-serve service (order on tablet, pickup food at counter, toss away trash and put away tray yourself). Food is super unique and delicious, highly recommend as I've never seen another place that offers this cuisine. Intriguing flavor combinations. Good portion sizes for the price - come hungry or expect to take leftovers. Seating setups are also very interesting, the place is cutely decorated but there's some wonky chairs/tables.“

“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.“

“Had a delicious dinner at Full Key restaurant. Ordered garlic shrimp Chinese broccoli & hot tea. Large portions, excellent service. My family goes here regularly, we love it! I accidentally left my purse there, & they had held it for me~ thank you, Full Key!“

“This is a nice reminder of what authentic Chinese food taste like. We tried slices beef with peppers, spring rolls, egg drop soup, and chicken fried rice. Everything was piping hot and well flavored.

The only thing to be modified is the time it took to take drink orders and the order of food delivery (the preference is for appetizers to come out before the meal but asking the customer if all is desired together is good).

The venue is spacious, the light is well balanced and it has nice music playing juat enough to set the scene for authentic cuisine. We will definitely be back when we return to DC.“

“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!😘“

“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!!!“

“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“

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

“食物新鲜 ，每个订单都是特别订做的。全手工制作的食品。“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Their spring rolls are so crunchy and flaky you can taste the freshness and pairs nicely with the shrimp and broccoli. Their food has that signature carry out taste you crave and not everyone gets right. The food is always hot and you can taste the good quality. This is also the only place I’ve seen that has the cutest mini shop inside where you can get adorable collectibles.“

“We love this spot - our local go-to for Chinese! It’s not our number 1 choice for Thai, but the Thai food is also very good (I love the drunken noodles). The family who runs it is always very sweet and we’ve never had an issue after going there for years 😄“

“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!“

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

“I cannot tell you enough how amazing your food is for the price as I am super duper impressed with the quality. Going on, this is my first time ordering with you all, and I will be coming back to and fro as you are my favorite yum~yum around the corner yo“

“They served hot green tea with delicious egg foo young! The staff was friendly and found the warmest seats in the restaurant for us in the very cold weather. I would definitely come back again.“

“Amazing food, generous portions, Harry, the man working the counter, was helpful and friendly. Best sweet and sour chicken I've ever had. The beef and broccoli melted in your mouth. The pork egg foo young was great and the sauce on the chicken lo mein was perfection! The lunch special prices were a bargain! Only 2 dine in tables but we'll worth the stop!!“
