Definitely regret trying out this place. Ordered the Crispy Lemon Chicken. It was essentially soggy chicken strips; definitely not crispy. Woke up at 4 in the morning and spent some quality time in the bathroom with my toilet, a pillow, and blanket.

Love this place! Tried it for the first time a few weeks ago and it was so good, we’ve already been back 3 or 4 times.

I’ve really tried to like this place, it’s convenient, they are very nice and do seem to care about ingredients. But there’s just way too much sugar in the food. Cut back on the sugar will change to five stars!

Just really gross food, tried multiple things but all they have going for them is that it’s cheap.

Very average Americanized Chinese food. The sauces are overly sweet and the vegetables overcooked. But the fried rice and dumplings are good. For some inexplicable reason they have a "Thai menu", and it should go without saying that you should not order Thai food here.

Food lacking flavor. Huge step down from previous incarnation as Forbidden City Xpress

This is one the best Chinese restaurant I have ate from. It's pricey for the quantity of the food, but the quality surpasses it.

Get the orange beef, highly recommended. Their combo fried rice also excellent which we devoured it before I could take a picture.
I have only been there once but the shrimp egg foo Yung was great. The lady at the counter was very sweet and helpful.

Went from one of my favorite places to.. i dont know when what say. If you're going to smoke cigarettes and that too I'm the kitchen... please.. at least stay out of the way from the customers.. the pictures aren't that clear but I did my best to take them without them seeing me. I know what I saw. There was a man in the back smoking with short hair.

Fast and quite tasty for a takeout place.

Wow! I was impressed with this Chinese food establishment in McLean. Looking for Chinese style food Yelp again proved its value and the great ratings are well warranted though a bit dated. I generally find Chinese food to be a "craving" rather than a well planned meal but this food was so surprisingly good! Not too much sauce, great looking though sparse fresh vegetables , and noodles not soggy with oil, chicken thst was cooked to perfection. I was really really surprised and pleased. Oh, prices were incredibly reasonable. It's a tiny place with maybe 2 tables so definitely a take out place. Lack of vegetables and small dining area was the minus one star but for Chinese places this is a definite go-to! I'll be back!!
