We ordered two chicken dishes, and both were terrible. The chicken pieces were huge—it looked like they just took the whole bird out of the box and threw it straight into the pan. It didn’t look cleaned or properly chopped at all. The smell was awful, and it tasted even worse—just a greasy mess soaked in soy sauce. Completely disgusting!
To make things worse, we paid $15 per dish, and they only sent one large rice when there should have been two. Total waste of money. We will never order from this place again!

For 30 years, we haven’t found a place that comes close to our childhood Chinese go-to spot. Well, we found it!! Their lo mein is excellent! Shrimp and broccoli is great too. Great deal with the luncheon special (before 3pm) - great portion sizes.

This used to be a great spot, but the last two visits have been disappointing. Food came out completely out of order with one entree first, then the appetizer, and the other entree much later. Dumpling appetizer was inedible (just overcooked and falling apart), and staff seemed frustrated when we asked if they had forgotten about the second entree. Sad to see the quality and service decline. The time before that was also chaotic. Food quality has also declined. Just not worth it.

The food here is good. I came back for the salty fish and chicken fried rice, as well as the dim sum. Definitely one of my go to spots for those dishes since it’s the closest. Service wise, the staff are friendly, but it can get a little bit overwhelming. Multiple employees kept asking the same questions, like, “Do you want any drinks?” after we had already told someone just 3 seconds ago. It felt like there was a lack of communication among the staff. And while it’s nice to be checked on, being asked if we're doing okay back to back by different people became a bit much. We also felt rush by an older waitress. She kept asking what we wanted to order when we’re not ready yet. Then, she came back at the end just to grab the check, which we told her no since we haven’t added the tip yet. We like the other waiter more because he gave us time to look over the menu and always gave us refills. We’ll still return for the food. I just hope the service becomes more organized.

The was pretty good. We were there on a Tuesday evening and the Restaurant was a little busy. That being said the food is good. This was a celebration for My Birthday. We will definitely consider comeback if we are in the area.

We visited hot peppercorn recently and we were not disappointed. Everything was excellent, from service to food quality.
The service was fantastic. We had multiple staff coming to our table throughout the night (chef, hostess, waiters,bussers) to check on us, take our order and refill our drinks throughoutthe night. The whole staff was working as a great cohesive team. The food was great. We ordered the salt and pepper pork chop, steamed shrimp dumplings, dan dan noodles, kung pao chicken and the steaned pork dumplings. Food had good balance of flavors. It was a great dinning experience.

Love it. Best Chinese/Asian restaurant in DMV. MY favorite, took a while to find it. Good quality food, great selection, large portions, not oily, not too much sodium or soy sauce. Good Dim Sum menu. Owner is very personable. Very well run. Very attentive. Good prices. They should open other locations. A lot of Asian clientele, so you know it's good.
