I’ve been a regular at Dannie’s Chinese Takeout on Upsher St., and it’s always a solid choice when I’m craving Chinese food. They offer the typical Chinese takeout menu, and I almost always go for the General Tso Chicken Dinner Combo, which is consistently good. The prices are reasonable, making it a great value. While there’s a very small seating area in the restaurant, it’s rarely used for dining in – most people, including myself, grab their takeout and go. The food is tasty, though not anything to write home about. It’s the kind of place where you know you’ll get a satisfying meal, but it’s not exactly gourmet. The staff is friendly, though they tend to be quick to get you in and out, which is understandable with the high volume of takeout orders. Overall, a reliable spot for quick, affordable Chinese food.

I wouldn't have given them any stars....they are the rudest humans of all humans without respect nor manners....I ordered 6 fried chicken wings...about time received my order and inspected it....my food wasn't fresh at all and the chicken was cold and. I called them back immediately to address the problem then i was put on hold as I heard customers coming in so they cater to them fist... ....the delivery driver is so rude that he doesn't need to deal with the public at all....that business needs to be citated...and they also charges extra 5 cents for the bags and they are located on Upshur St. NW Washington DC...

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!

ONLY DOWN SIDE IS NOT using your credit/bank card if your order is more than 40$, they only give you that FREE General Tso Chicken or ANYTHING for that matter when you pay in CASH… that’s some BS! I stopped ordering from them for a while over it.. but the food is AWESOME!

I went last night a few minutes before they closed ordered a steak & cheese less than 30 mins later I got sick and was vomiting and also had the runs!! I suggest going earlier in the day for fresh food!

We stopped at the Dumpling District located in Chinatown inside Luna Hall late at night for a snack. The security guard for Luna Hall warmly greeted us and explained to us the setup of Luna Hall and what was available to us. The front area of Luna Hall was a bar/club and the second half was a food court with a few places to select from. Dumpling District was located at the very end and was one of the few places there that still offered food an hour before Luna Hall was closing. We ordered the Rainbow Soup Dumplings which was their soup dumpling sampler that consisted of one of each flavor that they serve. The six dumpling flavors were pork, chicken, mala, crab meat and pork, shrimp and zucchini, and black truffle. The order took a little of time to receive but they seemed to be steamed to order as they came out very hot. Everything was pretty good. The dumplings were flavorful and pretty tasty. The crab meat and pork was my favorite. I want to mention that the Mala was a little spicy which was not indicated on the menu for those of you that are not a fan of spicy foods. Overall, the dumplings were pretty good for a late night quick stop eatery.

Great made-to-order soup dumplings and shui mai. Each were made to order (see photo) so be prepared to wait a few minutes (well worth it) for your order. I didn’t like the scallion pancakes were deep fried instead of pan fried. Very greasy. The stand is located in a small ‘food court’ area in Chinatown full of other Asian food stands.

Most days I visits here, they are always out of shrimp, today they were out of shrimps, they told me to wait 5mins, I waited nearly 15 mins and no one even noticed that I was still waiting for my food because they got busy, I understand it’s the navy yard and you guys have to focus on navy people, so I won’t be coming back, this is the second time this has happened to me here.

Panda Express is... Predictable. The food is hot and consistent. It is generally tasty and not unreasonably unhealthy. It is, perhaps, the best option if you are eating on the installation and find that you must purchase a meal there.

Every time I've gone there they mess up my order. I don't understand what's so hard about NO SHRIMP- veggie roll, please. BE CAREFUL if you're on any restrictions or allergic to certain things, they aren't guaranteed to get it right. Ordered online at 8:00pm. Got a message what my order was ready after 15 minutes. When we got there to pick it up, we had to wait til 8:50pm to get our stuff. Smh

Do not eat this food frm here ! I order Veg LoMien today 11.14.2024 and had a fuccckinnnn dead roach in my food !!!! This is so disgusting…..

I lived on Minnesota Ave for almost 10 years and this carry out was my go to carry out. Today I went in and ordered scallops and french fries for my husband. I asked them to fry the french fries hard and put salt, pepper and mumble sauce on them. When the order was complete, and I gave them to my husband, the french fries were soggy with mambo sauce on it. I was still in the parking lot so I walked back in and asked them to fry them hard with salt, pepper, and Mumbo sauce. They remade the french fries, and fried them hard like I asked, but did not put anything on them. For the third time, I walked back in there and said can you please put salt pepper and Mumbo sauce on my French fries. The lady behind the counter said oh my God ma’am what else do you need from us? And then started calling me all foul names and picked up her phone and took a picture of me. Then told me never to come back again. Do you know how many Carryout there are in this area? I will never go to that raggedy place again.

I did a call in order & specifically asked for no mushrooms or celery in my food. Upon receiving my order I noticed both items were in my food. When letting the lady behind the counter know of the mistake she proceeded to yell at me and cuss as if the mistake was not her fault. She was extremely disrespectful and tasteless. Do better!

17$ for a half steak and cheese 3 wings and fries. I will never get food from this hole in the wall again.

I ordered 2 half smokes and they were over cooked and dry and they didn't put enough mustard/ketchup/relish on them. I'll not purchase any half smokes from them again.

Ive been eating out of moon star for several years now. Their shrimp and broccoli and their combination Lo Mein are outstanding. Not to minimize the great quality of their wings and other dishes. I wholeheartedly recommend its food as being a five star.

Simply awful. Not hard to understand why they are losing the China carry out wars. Sub par. Do not order the fried shrimp. Wings are small. Wasted my money.

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.

Excellent food, QUICK service and extremely friendly 🙂 BTW, below is the Breaded Jumbo Scallops & Lo-Mein, from the Chinese/American menu at the top of their website. I've had dozens of different food choices from here over the 20+ years I've been eating here, and I've NEVER had anything even remotely considered bad or NOT delicious. My absolute FAVORITE dish is the Seafood Lo-Mein. It comes with copies amounts of the best shrimp you'll ever taste, baby unbreaded scallops AND a plethora of crab meat. It's literally enough to make 3 GIGANTIC bowls of food, and therefore feed me for 3 straight days. Add in about 6-8 packets of JUST the Duck Sauce, and I'm beyond a happy customer 😜👽👻😋🤤

Dumplings were absolutely awful. No flavor. No meat/vegetables. Worst dumplings I have ever consumed. Grocery store frozen dumplings are so much better. The male individual who waited on me was extremely disrespectful. I don't understand the reason behind his behavior. I always said "sir" throughout our conversation. I gave him a $5 tip for just ordering egg rolls and dumplings and he didn't even thank me. Egg Rolls were good.

Food was as expected. Service was awful. Jen was too busy texting to come right up. She slow rolled it to me (the only person there) then was very drab and impersonal. She spoke over me, I could only assume because I was placing my order and didn't do it in the order She wanted. I probably will not eat here again. Although food is good, the employee made it bad and had i had the time, i would have just gone somewhere else.

My food was so good. I ordered the Bigger Plate. It will last me for 2 or 3 meals.
