You get your money's worth here. The portion was huge and made fresh to order. Please note they take cash only and there is only one table which is right at the door and register so plan to take your meal to go!

I ordered a variety of items for dinner to take back to my family at our hotel room. I figured if I ordered beef fried rice and Beef Chow Foon, I couldn’t go wrong. I was wrong. They were both bland and lacked flavor. The...pork buns and steamed dumplings were OK, but the entrees weren’t good at all. I can’t recommend this place to anyone.More

I have never had this delicious authenthic broth that was so close to what I have at home in my life. Also to find this kind of Chinese restaurant is to be honest a little difficult. Stuff recommended me the noodle soup with beef brisket...and it was delicious. The meat was a little chewy though. It was a first time eating this kind of very wide soft rice almost pancaky noodles. Super hot i burnt my tongue. A good deal for its price. There were only two tables.. one for about 6 people and the other for 2 I would say.More

Located on the ground floor of a row house in DC’s Chinatown this place has delicious and very unpresuming food. A family run restaurant with only two tables, I get the feeling most of it’s customer base is takeout. Which is just fine. I stopped...in to get lunch to go and my food was cooked to order right when I ordered it and was ready within 5 min. Still piping hot in its container when I got to my destination. Not a huge menu, but solid and something for everyone including some very authentic and more unusual entrees. It’s a Chinatown standout for sure.More

A co-worker of my husband's recommended we go here for food. He had lived in Washington, D.C. and said this was the place to go to. Very humble with an ordering window and a couple of small tables, the service was fast and the people...were friendly. The food was outstanding. We ordered noodles and potstickers; didn't think we could finish the portions even though we had walked miles that day (literally over 10 miles at that time). We definitely would go back.More

We were looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant and found this one. The place is very small there is only space for 8. You can Takeaway if you like. The noodles are home made ; they are chewy and full of flavor. The prices are...very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking to eat some very good speciality Chinese food.More

I only tried the steamed noodle and the steamed dumplings.They both are very delicious. and The taste is similar to the one I had in China. The price is reasonable. However, this place is not good for leisure dining. I saw many people were getting...to-go. There is one table for about 6 to 7 people if you want to have a quick meal.More

Tiny place barely any sitting space, probably 6-8 total. The food is good though. Dumplings, buns, chow fun, and their Chinese canelloni are just delicious. Soups and noodles with different meats are also available. Cash only. Highly recommended

This is a "tiny" restaurant with only 2 tables-one for 6 people and one for 2 people. Most of their business is takeout. The food is prepared fresh to order and is quite good! The flavors are good and they didn't appear to be overly...salty as in many other restaurants. The pot stickers were among the best I ever had!More

For starters, be sure not to give up looking for China Boy when you discover that the address to which Google has pointed you — 817 6th St. NW — is not the address of a restaurant. China Boy is next door at 815 6th....Believe the reviews that tell you it's a hole in the wall. It's a one-room mom-and-pop operation with a small table seating two and a round table at which five or six people can sit. Most of China Boy's business is, for understandable reasons, take-out. The food: we ordered roast pork chow fun, shrimp cheung fun (described bafflingly on China Boy's menu as a shrimp rice noodle crepe), and pot stickers. The cheung fun were standard, similar to what you'll find at most any dim sum restaurant anyplace else. The chow fun was, for the most part, a disappointment. The big problem was that the roast pork was stale, as was the oil used to fry the dish. On the plus side, mixed with the bean sprouts and rice noodles were meaty pieces of fried onion and shreds of green onion, which helped mask the flavor of the stale pork and cooking oil. The pot stickers, by contrast, were outstanding. The filling was fresh and flavorful, with what appeared to be spears of green garlic interspersed through the chopped meat. These were among the best pot stickers we've had anywhere. Maybe our experience at China Boy would have been more rewarding if we had been more savvy in our menu choices. The bowls of duck noodle soup that the young Chinese couple who kindly let us share their table were eating looked scrumptious, and the young diners were clearly enjoying them. The restaurant staff, from the woman who took our order to the man from the kitchen who brought the dishes out, could not have been nicer. I can see why locals prize China Boy and regard it as a hidden treasure. But based on our experience with it, I can't write a rave review of this restaurant. We found it very much a mixed experience.More

You can easily walk past China Boy and not realize that it is an eatery place. It is conveniently located a block from the Metro Gallery Place stop. Hours are limited here, although they are open early from 8a.m. till about 4p.m.. There is only...1-2 tables for eating as China Boy is mainly a place where you purchase food to go such as shrimp or bbq pork, or beef rice noodle (called rice noodle crepe on their menu) , beef chow fun, chow mein, etc. They will wrap it all up ready to go. Food is decent and nicely prepared. Simple Chinese dishes prepared in the back that is made for take out. Great place to pick up something to go. Be aware that the menu is all handwritten in both English and Chinese on the wall. They accept only cash payments and their spoken English is very limited. Don't expect much service, just order and pay. If your expectations are not high, China Boy is definitely not a bad place to stop for a quick order to go.More

Tried the roasted pork foon, huge portion for 9.50, more than enough for two people. Noodles had a nice consistency and the pork was flavorful. Highly recommended
