Customer Reviews
Food was lovely! We really enjoyed the wood ear mushrooms, shangzi steamed cold noodles, the cubed fish and silken tofu-mapo style. The portions were generous and very fresh. The balance of heat and spice was perfect. We are so excited to return now that we know there is authentic Szechuan food in our neighborhood. Service was a bit cold, yet efficient.
Visiting DC to see a concert the place is close went there with my mother and 2 siblings food was great we all enjoyed the meals. Prices are high that being said you get a large portion so it’s reasonable I got the Curry chicken which was great. My mother and one of my siblings got the general tso, and another the beef Lo Mien, everyone was happy ended up spending about 80$ which is fair it’s about what I’d spend going to your run of the mill Chinese American place just with much better food.
Really enjoyed the shrimp & eggplant hotpot, and the garlic chicken, which came with snowpeas and mushrooms. Paired with a pot of jasmine tea and sesame balls for dessert. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem - so glad a friend recommended it.
Arrived too the dimly lit restaurant right after they opened. There were no other patrons. The hostess/waitress greeted us and brought us to a table right next to the hostess stand. My baby was asleep and I didn't appreciate how inconsiderate the waitress was when she was breaking ice and pouring water noisily. When ordering my husband asked me my opinion on whether or not he would like a particular dish. Maybe the waitress misunderstood but she answered the question abruptly probably not realizing the question was not for her. When our food arrived she had brought out the dish that was in question before even though we nver said we wanted it. Subsequently a dish which we ordered was left out. The food was okay. We had a few cold dishes: sliced pig 👂, wood ear, and century egg. For the main dishes we had sour cabbage fish soup and Mongolian Beef. Portions were all small except the soup. The beef was not tender and the soup lacked substance. I did not think any of the food was worth their costs but we were hungry and wanted to try something different and the food sufficed.
Been coming here for years, my favorite Chinese restaurant in DC. Highly recommend the Shanxi cold steamed noodles. One of the best things on the menu.
