The food here was great. We were looking for some authentic Chinese food and came across this restaurant but thought it looked a little localized but tried it anyway.
They have good Szechuan food and the lady waiter there was so so sweet - she was so excited for me to try out the cumin lamb. The food absolutely did not disappoint (at least the dishes we had) and we'd definitely go back to eat again.
The atmosphere was below avg as it was dingy and the smell wasn't great so I wouldn't call it a vibe, but if you're looking for authentic Chinese food, this is a good spot.
Amazing place! Many menu items... the ambiance is just perfect. A small, friendly place with big flavors and fantastic flawless service. On Sunday, it was easy street parking.
Great portions, and both of my items were perfect, I can't wait to go back and try other entrées.
DC area Asians, rejoice. This place is a super solid place for Chinese food mainstays, not just Shanghainese food but also a decent amount of sichuan options. We ordered the soup dumplings (great), dandan noodles (maybe not the most authentic and sophisticated tasting but still scratches the itch), Mapo tofu (solid flavor although I personally prefer a softer tofu), and the eggplant/potato/peppers (so good). All of that came out to around 50 bucks pre tax and tip. The atmosphere inside was also nice. Strongly recommend!
Solid local Chinese restaurant. Easy to get a table on a Friday night, good food, good portions, nice boba tea, spicy Mapo tofu (owner is from a part of China with spicy food), and they let us close out the restaurant. The place is a bit tired looking and the toilets are downstairs in the basement. But the service is friendly and the take out orders were fast and all by local folks walking in from nearby.
If you are looking for great Chinese food, don't go to Chinatown, go here. Traditional dishes that are amazing. The hand made soup dumplings are great. I really enjoyed the spicy fish broth. The Cummin lamb is also a must try dish at this location.
Randomly walked into this hidden gem!Shirley was really nice helping me to pick the items. For someone lived in China for over ten years, this place is definitely on my revisit list. Will try some other Sichuan dishes. The restaurant and restroom are quite clean. I super loved the warm taro bubble tea! Recommend 10/10!
My family and I dined in and we had a wonderful experience! The food was authentic and delicious, the food also came out very fast. The waiters were nice and helpful. Shirley 奶奶 was also very lovely! Great restaurant, highly recommend!
Great authentic Chinese food. Clean environment. Highly recommend.
This is easily one of the best Chinese restaurants in DC. They have an extensive menu for more traditional and home style meals along with your typical American-Chinese dishes. The crispy beef is incredible and a must have! I haven’t had a dish I didn’t enjoy here. The tea is also fantastic and is usually something that is lacking at many restaurants. The fact you don’t have to wait in a line to get in here is crazy.
this place has very authentic food. We order the steam soup dumplings and wonton soup, also a very delicious cumin lamb. The lady is very sweet and genuine helpful to order food, she helps me and my friend to get some good options! Recommended!!
