Family of 4 becoming regulars to this restaurant either in-dining or home delivery. We'd tried a few Chinese restaurants around this area. Then, when my kids and I "bumped" into this restaurant, we're kind of hooked with this restaurant. So far, this restaurant ranks the #1 in our Chinese restaurants. Our favorite is their Mongolian lamb. They serve a "generous... More

I love Meiwah. They always have exceptional food and very good service. Their Sushi is very good as is the more traditional Chinese cuisine

Meiwah's food is quickly served for in restaurant dining or for take-out, and yet is fresh, tasty, and consistently good. And the check always brings a smile to my face.

After a string of good meals at Meiwah, we ordered some food for pick-up -- and it was terrible. Months later, we dared to return, and all was fine. There's confusion among the wait-staff: you might be approached more than once by different servers who don't realize someone has already approached you. Big menu, usually worthy, but appetizers (recently, spring... More

We found this restaurant to serve better food than our local Chinese offerings (NYC); the food was excellently spiced, and not oily. The Tofu and Vegetables was delectable (subtle taste of ginger in the sauce), and the dumpling casings were thin, and fried perfectly. The setting is simple, and the restaurant seemed to be a neighborhood place. Service was willing... More

I was pleasantly surprised by the Chinese food being so good. I don't think the other menu items (Japanese and other) are good, but the Chinese was good. Solid flavors.

Like most Chinese restaurants in this area, Meiwah--an offshoot of the DC original--has little that's unfamiliar on it's menu. One deviation from the standard list is the crispy Cornish Hen, which is consistently well done and a possible compromise with youngsters who ask for "just plain chicken." And a lobster dish one Christmas was outstanding. We eat in or get... More

was not impressed with the sushi quality or flavor. They use a rice machine instead of hand made rice.

Because it was Christmas Day, we made an early (4:30 PM) reservation to avoid the crowds we were sure would come. It was already crowded when we arrived and became more so, with large numbers of people waiting, during the roughly 2 hours we were at our table. The service was so horribly slow that we were forced to occupy... More

Located close to my office, so we end up eating here at least 4 times a month. I prefer getting carry out because the service can be pretty bad sometimes, one of my co-workers has a nasty nickname for one of the worst waitresses. The food is usually good to very good. Prices do keep going up as I have... More
