Celebrated with my friends here, the atmosphere, the food, the staff, and customer service were outstanding. We had a great time her and left with full belly. Food was on point and much better than most other places. Enjoyed the experience. Best of all everything was sooooo clean.

Shanghai lounge rocks because it's not trying to prove anything this is freshly prepared Chinese food the traditional way and the ingredients are pretty good love their eggplant love their shrimp love their soup buns and love their service oriented owners and servers that want to make you happy. I am raising the rating of the food to five stars. I visited recently and the food was more than excellent. I think this is the best Chinese restaurant in DC..cucumber salad and soup buns yum!

They’ve the best dumplings in town. I tried the fish dumplings for the first time and they were delicious just as other stuffing. The hot pot was a must especially in cold weather. The cucumber salad was just okay. The staff were attentive and efficient. Reservations are not necessary. The restaurant was not crowded on a Saturday noon.

Dumplings and Beyond is a fantastic spot! The food is absolutely delicious, with some of the best dumplings I’ve ever had—flavorful fillings and perfectly cooked. The restaurant itself is a humble, unassuming place, which adds to its charm. It’s cozy, and the focus is clearly on serving amazing food. If you’re looking for delicious, authentic dumplings this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Got the pad Thai it was sweet and sour and so delicious. Great little gem on this side of DC. Will be back again

This is decent for your standard around the corner takeout. We liked the egg and spring rolls and were pleasantly surprised by the dumplings. The lo mein and hot and sour soup were decent though I'll probably change it up next time. The only thing we didn't like was the jade chicken as the sauce was too sweet for our liking.

Reren Lamen & Bar in Georgetown is an absolute gem! The renovation they did looks fancy—the ambiance is artistic , inviting, and has a great vibe that makes dining here even more enjoyable. The food is top-notch! Their soup dumplings are perfection—delicate, flavorful, and bursting with delicious broth. The street-style fried calamari is crispy and well-seasoned, making it a must-order. I also loved the grandma-style beef pancakes, which were packed with rich flavors and had the perfect texture. The jumbo shrimp and pork suimai were fresh, juicy, and simply amazing. Everything I tried was well-executed, and the service was friendly and efficient. If you’re looking for a great spot in Georgetown for high-quality food with cheaper price and a fantastic atmosphere, Reren Lamen & Bar is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Reren Lamen deserves a shoutout here. Now Reren doesn't offer ramen, it does provide surprisingly flavorful lamen, or Chinese hand pulled noodles. This is the nook and a sanctuary that I'd least expect in super-expensive Georgetown. First the noodles dishes provide a high quality value meal that I honestly cannot find anywhere else in town. Perhaps the most surprising is the Xiaolongbao (小籠包), soup dumplings. The soup in the dumpling sports an bright yellow hue with low collagen taste. Usually I find dishes with gelatin hold on to more flavor but the very soup low-gelatin composition of the soup dumpling was pretty good. Paired with your meal is the very comfortable, colorful, open concept eating space accented with simple asian decorative tones. In fact, the space is far more open and comfortable than it seems looking from the outside. Highly recommend getting a seat near the window as the view is a bonus that comes with the meal. It is just a nice nook to escape the noisy Georgetown streeets and grab a tasty bite of food at the same time.

I order the shrimp and broccoli for lunch. I sit down to eat and bit something hard and almost chipped my tooth. I spit it out and it’s a damn pebble rock. How does a pebble get in your food? Maybe it came off the floor! NEVER EATING THERE AGAIN!!!

Great place for Asian food. Everything is delicious and service was super fast and easy. Online ordering is very easy and straightforward. Fried rice is delicious and lo mein is delicious too.

Great food here tucked away! Very small place with big personality. Didn’t try the all-you-can-eat option since I was pressed on time but would have liked to.

We opted for the unlimited tasting menu $48 pp + 20% automatic gratuity for 2x. Things were going very well as the chinese broccoli was fantastic! Then next couple of small plates were OKAY, but we ate with an open mind. We ordered a next round of different dishes and again things were OKAY, but we were having a nice time. At 8:45 pm, we were told the kitchen was closing at 9:15 even though OFFICIAL closing was 10 pm. So…we ordered the peking duck and pickled radish and lo mein. The radish came and it was not good (I’ve had plenty of Korean pickled radish and love it) and lo mein was dry and flavorless. We didn’t complain, we just had the wait staff clear the table to make room for the duck. My dining date ordered more Chinese broccoli and Snow pea leaves to replace the dishes we didn’t bother to eat. We got those before the duck and was conservative eating to save room for the duck. THEN our main waitress came with the bill. We said we didn’t get the duck yet. She said, “You don’t like our food and you didn’t finish everything. So no duck is coming.” WOW. They got $158 out of me including a $26 tip I had no say in. We ENJOYED ourselves til the ATTITUDE happened. So even though there would’ve been repeat visits for the novelty of it, we now will NOT RECOMMEND EATING HERE EVER. We were treated so poorly for no reason!
