Szechuan Delight
Located at the end of an alley, this little Chinese restaurant was a wonderful surprise. There are only two tables, so I was lucky to get one. I ordered Sesame Chicken with an extra charge for white meat ($14.95). It was perfectly prepared, crispy but not at all greasy. Lunch specials are $9.25 from Monday to Friday.
Surfing the web after 9PM looking for something open near Landmark in Alexandria. Came upon this carryout joint in Landmark Plaza, and it's open 'til 10PM. Egg Foo Yung on the menu sealed the deal for me. Hopped in the car and was there in minutes. The space was tidy and clean (no grunge here) and included a couple of tables for those who would dine in. Staff was friendly and accommodating (I was able to request my egg foo young with barbecued pork and shrimp omitting the chicken). My egg foo young had the right flavor and was bagged with the pancakes, sauce, and rice each packed in its own sealed container. I ate in the car. Everything was good 'and hot.The food hit the spot. My only criticism of the foo young was that it was so monochromatic -- pale brown. If they could have mustered just a few bits of chopped scallion greens for garnish, it would have made a big difference. Look at the photo of the egg foo young on their web site and you'll see what I mean. Pathetic. The other disappointment was dry rice, not hard yet, but at evening's end it was definitely getting a little dry. Not inedible, and I did eat it anyway. I will almost certainly go back one of these days, at least for egg foo young when the mood strikes, though I'm not much of a carryout guy. Cutting them a break and hoping for the best next time, I'm going to give this little carryout with the long menu (and even a few Thai offerings) 5 stars overall. Though it's just a carryout, it could easily compete with a full service restaurant, judging by my experience with their generous serving of egg foo young.
Hunan Kitchen
A few days ago, my husband and I went grocery shopping, and by lunchtime, we decided to grab a quick bite at a small restaurant hunankitchen nearby. We kept it simple and ordered two dishes—one chicken vegetable and one beef vegetable —served with fried rice and a spring roll. The service was impressively quick, and the food was fresh and delicious. The portions were very generous—one plate was more than enough for one person, leaving us completely satisfied. What stood out was how reasonably priced everything was, making it a great value for money. It was the perfect spot for a quick, hearty, and affordable lunch. Definitely a hidden gem worth revisiting!
Lots of choices on the menu, including combination specials available every day. I got a large portion of Roast Pork Lo Mein for only $9.99 with a refreshing Red Tea Boba. Very nice and friendly staff.
Peking Cafe
My dad's been ordering food from Peking Cafe for our family for more than a decade and we've never been disappointed, not even once. Good, clean food at a great price, especially considering the pandemic. The taste changed a bit over the years, but we've always been satisfied.
The food and services are very good 👍 👌 😋.
