Asian American II

This used to be my neighborhood fast casual Asian American restaurant when I lived in Shaw/Logan Circle and I will travel in just to pick up their food. The white rice is steamed to perfection every time, and I have yet to have a dish I don’t like. The shop owners are so dedicated, hardworking, and kind and deserve your business wholeheartedly!

Ordered through DoorDash after seeing good reviews. The Delivery Driver was AWESOME, but the Food was dry and overcooked. I have been eating food at the hospital Cafe for the past few weeks and thought I'd splurge and get something local. That did not happen. The Mango Lemonade is very good and I would definitely recommend that, but the Chicken and Cheesesteak Egg Rolls were really dry & hard. See photos.

Ordered takeaway through the Delivery.com app. Pretty good quantity of Gen. Tso and shrimp lo mein for a lunch special although perhaps a bit heavy on the rice in order to fill out the container. Everything also seemed fresh and of pretty good quality for takeout. One item of note, specific to the Delivery.com app perhaps, is that you can't specify fried rice. I actually think it probably comes as the default but I selected white in the rice category because the only options were white and brown. If you want fried rice, I think you probably just don't choose a rice option because it's not a required question.

I walk by this place every day on the way to work, and it's standard, tasty american Chinese food. The first time was great. I was having a 15-person dinner party one night and knew wanted Chinese take out. I walked in after work and talked with Sally, at the cash register. She was awesome. I ordered 3-4 servings of 6 or so dishes because the party platter would have just been too much food and too expensive. Sally worked with me to make sure all the food was ready on time, the portions would be enough for the party, and that it was in my budget. When i came to pick up, she was meticulous, rechecking each item from the other and any of the little extras that came with it. The food was exactly what we needed for the party, and we even had leftovers. She was packing everything fresh from the wok and it was great! The next time i ate from here, I ordered delivery. The food was just as good. My only two critiques-- some of the veggie dishes have thick sauces, and the fried chicken dishes do have a lot of breading. But when you're looking for something starchy, carby, saucy, it hits the spot.

On occasion I order from an inexpensive Chinese place ,so no preconceived ideas about getting a great or even decent meal . That being said and the bar set very low , the food can only be described as inedible. Took 1 bite and noticed no flavor to cover up old, probably bad chicken .Awful ! Spit it out and would not even feed it to my dog !
