I went there yesterday for the first time. Oh my gosh it was awesome! The staff was really nice and friendly. I got the coconut boba tea which was the best! I split the Crabmeat Rangoon (Cheese Wonton) (6 Pieces), the Super Philadelphia Roll, the Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll, and the D.C. Roll with a friend. They were all really good! Definitely go here! Next time I visit Washington DC I will eat here again.

Good service and decent atmosphere unfortunately cannot compensate for the below average Chinese food here. We had three dishes, two of which were lacking in much protein and frankly tasted similar to those from a grocery store. We were really surprised to see all of the celebrities who have eaten there. Maybe we were there on an off day? The sushi was the highlight.

Our go-to for Chinese. Location is a nice little walk past the Capitol and Library of Congress, so convenient. We've been quite a few times, and the staff remembers people who frequent. Best: Service! Always exceptional. The white sauce is amazing -- one reason we visit when we can is because we can't seem to duplicate the stuff. It's purely magical. They can help here if you have allergies to things like seafood, nuts, and gluten, Try the shrimp and vegetables, or chicken and vegetables in the white sauce. Another thing, they are very consistent every visit. Below, street view.

I can really only rate the food, which was not good. Most of it was overly sweet, not fresh, and overcooked but that is not the worst of it. We ended up throwing half of it away after finding a large unidentified ingredient in the asparagus and crab soup. No one was going to taste it to find out what it was (picture included). The sauces were water thin. More thin than the soup. On top of that, it was expensive. Never again.

Checked out CHIKO for their restaurant week dinner menu, which was 4 courses for $40. It was a great chance to try a bunch of different things, and everything we tried was delicious! The kimchi was some of the best I've had. The entre portions were large, and both the orange-ish chicken and the house fried rice were great. I liked that the orange chicken was not too sweet and syrupy like orange chicken at some American Chinese restaurants, and the fried rice was generous with the meat. I can't speak to their regular menu or the standard prices, but I will be back for sure!

Restaurant week spread for $40, tried the pickled daikon, cold peanut noodles, lamb stir fry, and strawberry dessert. A bit more than I planned to spend, but it's 2 meals for me! Both noodle dishes were particularly rich and flavorful, the strawberry cake thing was pretty solid too, though not at that level. Service was quick and quite friendly!

Expectations were not reached here. Upon entering the place could definitely use remodeling. They still have Christmas decorations up. The staff was friendly. The edamame was good but very heavily salted. The 007 roll and the shrimp tempura were ok but had a very heavily fish smell. Obviously i know sushi is fish but the sushi i eat in NYC does not have that strong of a scent. Lastly the Pad thai and Chicken lo mein had a lot of water underneath the food itself and just tasted a bit old. Some of the chicken pieces just tasted anything but chicken. The only reason I did not give 2 stars is because the staff was friendly. Total for the bill was 88$.

Fresh sushi & fantastic lunch specials! Everyone from presidents, to congressmen, to celebrities have dined here & loved the food & service as evident by the numerous signed pictures on the wall. This restaurant is also a quick walk away from the National Mall & is a perfect quick lunch while out sightseeing

I had a great experience at Uncle Hot Pot! The food was flavorful, fresh, and definitely worth coming back for. The deluxe menu, while enjoyable, could benefit from a few more premium options considering it's the highest tier—just to better match the price point. That said, the interior design really stood out. The space is beautifully designed to feel like a high-end restaurant, and it complements the quality of the food perfectly. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Overall, a solid spot for hot pot lovers looking for great taste in a classy atmosphere. I'll definitely be returning.

This is a super low-key spot that has PHENOMENAL all you can eat hot pot. They have 2 menus to pick from, the regular menu for $28.99 and the premium menu that is for $59.99 per person. The regular menu includes everything within the first 3 pages of the menu plus all of the coolers with food + drinks. The premium menu includes some pretty exclusive stuff. This place has a ton of meat choices plus a ton of seafood options even in the regular menu such as crab legs, squid, crawfish, shrimp, various clams, and a ton of other things. There’s actually a ton to choose from. Service is extremely friendly and Adam, our waiter, was super helpful understand everything. I’m not from around this area, just visiting, but I genuinely wish this place was around me so I could become a usual.

Food was yummy. We went for an early lunch and sat right down. Service was prompt and professional. I had Thai greenbeans, such big portions, like a family dish, a great deal.

It was a really enjoyable experience! The food was all very good. Kind of pricey, but it’s a good location and they give you a lot of food so it evens out. I was pleasantly surprised with how many wontons were in my wonton soup. 6-7! The “vegetable egg roll” was delicious, but it was definitely a spring roll and you only get one. So I may not get that again. My husband got the sweet and sour chicken with chow mein. The wonton soup had a fish baste.

Cliff notes version: 4 stars for the selection for their happy hour; 3 stars for the overall food. Conflicted about this review. The food was affordable but varied greatly in flavor and quality; however, the servers were well attentive and the restaurant was clean. I thoroughly enjoyed the dim sum and the spring rolls. The dill dumplings, on the other hand, left something to be desired. The dumpling was dry and overcooked. And, the tam tam noodles were far too sweet -- tasted like you dumped peanut butter into noodles I'd probably come back overall, just avoid a few items.

Nice and clean restaurant but food is pretty mediocre in terms of taste and authenticity. HK Milktea 3.5/5 - not bad but nothing outstanding either. You can find something of similar quality in an Asian market juice box. Shrimp omelette rice with “tomato sauce” 3/5 - the shrimp omelette itself is quite alright in terms of flavor and texture but the advertised tomato sauce was basically ketchup which spells a basic lack of effort. The kitchen could have done a much better job on that tomato sauce mixing a little of ketchup with actual cooked and sliced tomatoes. Just putting ketchup underneath the omelette is plain lazy. Beef noodles 3/5 - the soup was good but the noodles and beef was pretty ordinary in terms of flavor and texture. String beans 1/5 - last dish to be served on our table and the most disappointing. Just by the looks of it from the photo, you can tell it is not appealing at all. No prep work done on cutting the rough edges of it and not much flavor on the dish. Try the same dish in Din Tai Fung and you can tell the difference. Overall, the restaurant has a nice ambience but the food was very mediocre. Definitely could be better if not for a lack of trying on the kitchen’s part.

Went here for lunch and the food was great! The place is kinda small. Can't imagine how it is when it's happy hour or the weekend.Me and my bestie went when it just opened on a Friday. They have 2 menu choices. We did the 2nd option. It was like an all you can eat. Everything we ordered was good. The Peking duck was everything!! The purple yolk bun was really good. Wish I could have eaten all of it but I was full by the time we got to dessert lol. Would definitely go back!!

I'll start out with saying this is not a traditional dim sum restaurant so this review is not to compare it to places like China Garden or AJs. Han Palace's all you can eat option is called their tasting menu and I think THAT is an accurate description. And I really enjoyed it!! For $35pp, you can get a lot of solid options for dumplings, noodles, fried rice and congee. For the two of us, I thought that was the best deal. Option B is $48 and opens access to their whole menu to include their roast items which is great. I would only do this option if I was very hungry or if I had a larger group as I don't think I would have been able to eat my money's worth. I won't list everything we tried but I will say their dumplings were acceptable but not as good as traditional dim sum places. We tried their beef dry chow and the veg lo mein and both were excellent. Service was quick, not un-friendly, and the ambiance was adorable. Will definitely be back and with friends!!

This is one of my favorite places to eat for the last 10 years. My favorite (since I really do not eat allot of meat) is the Egg Drop Soup with plenty of green onions along with Veggie Egg Rolls, so addicted. This is such a clean place. My girl Kathy is the best ever. She is always polite, friendly and professional.

I ordered from this place using uber eats, but they do their own delivery. It is now 1.5 hours past the end of the estimated delivery window. I called over and over again until someone answered (Friday night already ruined at this point waiting for this food). When I spoke to someone, they had an address that was years old and not even in my uber eats account. My receipt shows the correct delivery address. They have even delivered to this most current address recently so I have NO idea why they had my old address! They do not cut off orders when they can’t handle the volume. And then when you get someone on the phone, she starts a conversation with you and asks your address and phone number. then takes another call that you can hear in the background. then talks to someone who walks in the door. Then comes back to you and asks your address and phone number again. Then starts up again with the person who walked in the door. Then picks up the other line again. Then comes back to you and again asks your phone number. Kick this place off the delivery apps OR require that they don’t use their own delivery drivers if they want to remain on the apps so progress is tracked. It’s a mess.
