“Nice surprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 28, 2012

If food is the reason for your visit, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Indeed, the decor is so so but the service makes up for it. I would not go as far as others and say it is the best Chinese food in the DMV, but it's clearly value for money; we were surprised by the rather reasonable bill!

“Best Chinese in DC!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 31, 2012

I have been coming here for over 10 years and I will never get tired of it!!!! My family and I always take our friends and family here, or eat it for take-out. The owner couldn't be nicer, and many local politicians and celebrities have gone there. I definitely recommend it for anyone who loves chinese food (or even if you dont you'll get hooked after coming here!).

“So So Chinese”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 17, 2012 via mobile

Not much to say, crispy beef was rubbery not much sauce and on the bland side. Wife's general tso's was the same. Cooked fine but, really not much taste at all. I understand this Americanized Chinese food, buy it doesn't have to be like this.

“Not bad, but had better nearby”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2012

Good quick service that I cannot fault. Reasonable range of vegetarian options. Chose a tofu dish which was ok, but no more than that, and would have preffered more taste rather than the speed at which it was served.
